The Island of Epistolary Fantasy

[Through the Living Wrath he/him]

Far away, on a Island off the coast of Rhode Island, was a land of fantasy, about 30 miles across.

It was also a land of beasts. Dragons, vampires, and more! But very backward technologywise.

START!

Ok. Players, shortly state your name or the family you represent.

Then the letters can begin!

GMs, I’ve added a role. You represent the local government, and can pass “laws,” things like “every sentence must end in ‘praise the sun!’”. You must also add a punishment, like “public flogging,” or other. No exile or banishment, tho.

When you add a rule, ping me, and I’ll place it here. It isn’t in action until it is here!

I am the family of Lennox, mainly represented by Archibald Lennox. (And yes, this is a joking ‘Archlinux’) 

We are peasants, with a farming occupation.

GUYS WHERE IS EVERYONE IM FEELING UNLOVED

i think I’ll start with a letter

Esteemed Government,

        I write you this petition in an effort to make you see sense! I, Archibald Lennox am a proud descendent of Barkface Lennox, the first farmer to ever exist. Do you know how difficult it is to farm on such a small island? I submit this petition to ask for major landfill projects to open up space do my crops.

Hoping for Help Here,

        Archibald Lennox

Archibald Lennox,

      While we would love to provide you with more farmland, that would result in mass deforestation, as you are in the middle of the forest. You will have to make a petition and get (reasonable number) signatures.

Regards,

The Government

Esteemed Government,

        I regret to inform you that a dragon flew over the land you referred to just yesterday, bathing it in flame. In fact, our home was destroyed in the ensuing disaster. I believe we are owed some sort of compensation! Enclosed with this letter is a contract that needs some sort of official signature that would grant permission for federal grants. We would also like a little dog too.

Mildly Irritated (And Burnt)

        Archibald Lennox

P.S. Is there some sort of affixing pawning service for strangely shaped gemstones? These ones don’t fit anymore.

Mr. Lennox,

         Very well, your land will be developed. We cannot provide you a dog, or legally tell you where to pawn gems.

Good sir Archibald,

     I would like to make you an offer. I would like to make you my vassal. In exchange for your land and loyalty, I will give you workers for your farms. As part of the agreement, I will receive 10% of all income from your farms. I will see to it that this development of your land proceeds smoothly. You will be under my protection, and I will provide you with food. Now, as I said, you would be utterly loyal to me. What say you?

 Your graces,

 Lord Alistair Imperiato

P.S. 

How does a poodle sound?

I am the family of Rehctaw. They live in a terrifying house deep in the woods. You can never find the house if you go looking for it, and no one has ever been able to cut down the trees in the woods. The forest in which they reside has no houses or farmland near. It is far to scary. Those who have lived there have heard roars from creatures that have never been seen before. Those who go in will only come out with a piece of paper that says "You owe us. - The Rehctaw Family".

The Rehctaw Family has not been known to go out into town. However, many members of the family quite enjoy sending letters. Although no Postal Service has ever claimed to deliver them.

Somehow, if you deliver a letter with the address of 'The Forest', it will always go to them, even if no postal service has ever delivered one.

 

Is this allowed?

Dear House Lennox,

      You have made the right choice. A poodle has been sent to your location. Enclosed in this letter is the contract to our agreement. 

 Yours truly, Bob, master of house funds.

P.S. I have sent out a team of trappers to find and capture this poodle. I have heard rumors that it has been setting up an underground biscuit smuggling ring.

Umm… you might send a letter to the Imperiatos, stating that their terms were unacceptable.

Or you could notice that the coordinates were in the middle of the Bermuda triangle.
