The Unknown Medallion he/him Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Quote Here's my preaction. Eshael Navar launches its immense navy to fight the Pitar's invasion force with instructions to continue on to create a foothold on the Pitarese coast.
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 20, 2022 Posted September 20, 2022 Astrym Calendar: 1057 AA World Calendar: 0008 HY After our failures with our Vandoran expeditions, and the discovery of a new race of monsters known as Orchids, the Republic of Astrym has decided to pull back on that front. However, we will not abandon Vandora altogether, and will send further help if needed in the future, once we are more capable. We are creating a magical barrier around the island to make sure the monsters that inhabit it do not escape, and to make it easier to help the people there in the future. Our military training program is going well, though we hope it's never needed. We have continued working with Realmingsburg to develop a skyship technology that their kingdom created. They have created a structure known as a Skycastle, and we have begun work on developing our own, but specialized and equipped with Adamantium and Starmagic. Using our own Skyships, we plan to send expeditions to less explored areas of The World, and use them for diplomatic relations with other countries. Quote Note: Starmagic is what I'm calling Astrym's magic. I should probably run this by @NerdyAarakocra. Is it okay if my kingdom, due to the alliance with yours, develops their own Skyship technology? If the answer is yes, then... The Republic of Astrym, using information and technology gained from their alliance with Realmingsburg, begins to develop their own Skyships for their future use and benefit. These Skyships are personalized to Astrym, and are equipped with Adamantium and Starmagic. If the answer is no, I'll change it later.

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 20, 2022 Author Posted September 20, 2022 Quote The answer was NEITHER because the AI DECIDES The Republic of Astrym, using information and technology gained from their alliance with Realmingsburg, begins to develop their own Skyships for their future use and benefit. These Skyships are personalized to Astrym, and are equipped with Adamantium and Starmagic. The Republic of Astrym decides that the best way to defeat the Gahestians is to destroy their Skycastles. To this end, they train their pilots in how to fly their Skyships into enemy castles without damaging the craft. However, their pilots are not yet ready for combat. Many fail to hit their targets during practice runs, and some even crash into the ground or other obstacles. To improve their skills, the Republic of Astrym sends them to Realmingsburg, where they learn the art of flying from the experts. Once the pilots have mastered their craft, the Republic of Astrym launches a massive aerial assault against the Gahestians' SkyCastles. During the attack, the Republic of Astrym captures two of the enemy's SkyCastles, and destroys another. The Republic of Astrym then uses these captured Castles to launch a full-scale invasion of the Gahestian Empire. Over the next few months, the Republic of Astrym's forces land on the Gahestian coast and push inland, destroying the empire's SkyCastle after SkyCastle. Finally, the Gahestians capitulate, and their ruler agrees to a ceasefire. Astrym demands that the Gahestians sign over all their SkyCastles and allow the Republic of Astrym to take control over them. It would seem that the Republic isn't so keen on me being allied with Realmingsburg. (For the sake of continuity I'm going to say that "Skycastle" in this context means "big airship" and not the same thing as the one big Skycastle that Realmingsburg made). @Nameless, your turn!

So... there's a Sky Castle, which Realmingsberg has, and there's a SkyCastle, which is completely different! This makes sense! Thanks, AI! (This is so cursed and I love it)
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Quote So much for trying to keep Astrym neutral. This is...wow. Well, I guess I have lots of airships and a trained air force now... I can use this... I also have control over a kingdom I didn't need control over... I can probably also use that... I'm sorry, @NerdyAarakocra, I didn't mean to attack your other allies. I guess the AI supposes that the friend of your friend is your enemy. Edited September 21, 2022 by The Bookwyrm
Channelknight Fadran Posted September 21, 2022 Author Posted September 21, 2022 Stunned by the incredible forces of magic let loose upon the world, emperor Sell entreats the gods that they might bless the armies of Nam-Ed, offering dozens of human sacrifices. Though the gods appear to hear his pleas, they refuse to intervene directly. Instead, they grant Sell the ability to summon a special force of demons known as the Demigods. These Demigods are among the most powerful beings in the world, and they serve as the emperor's personal guard. Their arrival ends the war quickly, and the Nam-Edians win a decisive victory over the Kingdom of Vandora. Sell's campaign against the kingdom was short lived, however. After losing half of his forces in the first battle, Sell abandons his siege of Vandora and retreats back to Nam-Ed. In the aftermath of the war, the kingdom pays for its defeat at the hands of the Nam-Edians in blood. Thousands of Vandoran soldiers march to the Nam-Edian capital, and they slaughter every last Nam-Edian man, woman, and child they find there. Many years later, the nation of Vandora will rise again, but it will never be the same. Uhh... ... ...@Matrim's Dice! Move us away from this chaos.
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 Quote What the storming stormwinds just happened. This AI is sparking insane. Something tells me this whole world is going to end up in ashes by the time this is done...
Mat he/him Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 Quote Nah nah I’ve got to get in on this magical action somehow While mining in the Dalryan mountain range, an ancient well of power is discovered and harnessed, though the Council of Six still wishes to remain neutral Spoiler Kind of sorry :P. Maybe I’ll blow myself up.
NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 Quote Wait, hold up. Nam-Ed summoned demigods... And kicked the Vandorans into next week... But then the remaining Vandorans slaughter ALL the women and children in Nam-Ed?!?
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 Quote I thought the Vandorans were still recollecting themselves from attacks between a gigantic stone monster and weird octopus things. And wasn't Astrym putting up a shield around them? Maybe they don't need a relief effort...

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 21, 2022 Author Posted September 21, 2022 While mining in the Dalryan mountain range, the Council of Six discovers an ancient well of power. Though they're initially hesitant to study it, they eventually agree to. They discover that this well contains an unimaginably vast amount of mana. The mages conclude that the well must belong to one of the Five Great Races of the world, so they begin researching these races. The Council of Six realizes that the well is connected to the Well of Mana in the Kingdom of Vandora, and they decide to investigate further. They send a group of mages deep underground, where they encounter a tribe of dwarves. The elves don't realize that they've stumbled upon the dwarven kingdom of Brugge until much later. The Council of Six is overwhelmed by the dwarves' size, strength, and skill. They eventually flee the region with their tails between their legs. Congratulations, Mat! You've added to the lore of the world!
NerdyAarakocra They/Them Posted September 21, 2022 Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Quote The Unknown Novel made an action in advance: Eshael Navar launches its immense navy to fight the Pitar's invasion force with instructions to continue on to create a foothold on the Pitarese coast.

Channelknight Fadran Posted September 21, 2022 Author Posted September 21, 2022 Eshael Navar launches its immense navy to fight the Pitar's invasion force with instructions to continue on to create a foothold on the Pitarese coast. This proves to be a mistake, as the navies of both Eshael and the Pitar clash head-on. When the battle is over, Eshael has lost almost half of their fleet, while the Pitar have completely destroyed several more ships. Both sides retreat, allowing their fleets to repair. After the destruction of their navy, the Eshaelian government calls for a complete naval embargo against the Pitar, which goes into effect shortly thereafter. To make matters worse, the Pitar invade the Duchy of Larken, forcing its citizens to flee into exile. A few years later, the Pitar attempt to seize control of the Larken Duchy, but Eshael intervenes. With a combination of naval forces and military units from the army, the Eshaelian forces drive out the Pitar and annex the Duchy. With this new territory, the Eshaelian government intends to expand southward along the coast. @The Unknown Novel, it would appear that you have begun making headway into Pitarese territory!
