OH... cold-blooded race in a cold enviroment gotta be damn hard! How the hell do they generate enough body heat? They must have to eat nearly all the time!

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Extremely cold skin to the touch, they are also cold-blooded. It's a fantasy...

As above, good point though (eating a lot)... might add that in somewhere. NO! lol I've wrote too much for you poor souls already xD I can't ask you to read more.

I guess their diet is primarily meat... and very nutritious berries/pulses etc...

+ I could say that their inner temp isn't 37^oC ...

 

[Dragonson]

Hrm... allright people.
Here's my first try at mapping the highlands:

 

[Gyrosphinx]

I like the style, but it seems kind of... undefined some places.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Awesome! Is the top mountain range Karthek... oh that reminds me technically need to submit that don't I? :/

Awesome though, just one question: I assume grass is green, is grey stone/barrens/snow?!

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Well, it should be grasslands/forests and rivers... and yeah, I do belive the northern mountainrange is Karthek... It should be tha name of it after you submit it.

 

[Dragonson]

@Gyro
Where?

@Gray
The greenness is Forests/Grass/Jungle etc on all of my maps.
The gray is just the area's color.
Like that Inkita is yellow.

EDIT:
OOH! RIVERS!
How could i forget the rivers?!
*Facepalm*

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Think a little mulgore...

grasslands with dots of woodland, and a lot of rivers giving it a cracked appearance.

Submission Name:
Karthek Mountain Range

Submission Type:
Location

Description:
A gigantic range of mountains, consisting of miles of open plane, ice caverns, cave complexes and predator ridden slopes.

History:
Not much to say. The mountains don't change very much overtime, now and again a rockfall will cause a certain path to become unusable, a cave will collapse or predators will move away from a plain. It was the location of the 'Dark Plight' referred to only by the Kyrrin (as of yet) and even they can't or won't go into detail on the subject.

Climate: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
Towards the bottom of the mountains there are vast plains and woodlands that lead up to the great steppe expanse that is the highlands, but further into the range it is a harsh barren snowscape, full of blizzards, high altitudes and deadly predators. The temperature is always below 0^oC in the depths of the range, the slopes and highland border can reach up to 10^oC.

Continent: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
Nar’oseot

Flora & Fauna: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
Pine trees, many rocks, minerals and metal deposits (deep within the mountains). Mountain Wolves, (Brown Bears, Wolves, Boars - at the connection to the steppes), A variety of hardy weeds, berries and pulses manage to grow on the lower reaches of the mountains, many avian birds such as the typical eagles, hawks and common birds live on the smaller mounts. Many giant avian predators that have yet to be named by man also crest the taller mountains, they rarely leave their roosts in the day and are few in number. Snowy Felines; Sabre Tooth Tigers (snowy pelt). Mammoths.

Location: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
North on Nar’oseot, adjacent (north?) to the Highlands.

Geography: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
A huge maze of mountains, snowy plains and caves.

Specials: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane)
The tribes of Kyrrin often 'claim' territory but they change their mind and bicker about it so often nowhere is worth noting.

"Cliff Of The Ancestors" isn't considered part of the range, but is close enough to considered a local landmark and therefore often referred to by Kyrrin discussing directions etc.

Controller: (Territory/City/Continent/Plane) (What in-game group)
N/A - The Kyrrin are the only race inhabiting the range in number, but they are to few and weak to have any real hold, the only ruler here is the harsh, cold grasp of nature and her many denizens.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

North to the Highlands would fit, and the Cliff of the Ancestor is located at the foot of the mountain range?

 

[Dragonson]

Okay.
So the northern mountain range is the Karthek mountains, and at the foot of that place is the Cliff of Ancestors?

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Yeah, well, if Grey agrees of course.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Sounds perfect!

Just one thing: Gyrosphinx, about the history... with the two regions so close together it would be pretty much identical? Is it ok if I just use yours (for the highlands) and tweak it a bit?

EDIT: Nevermind, you didn't really put what I expected under the 'history' heading... It WILL be different. I thought it was geographical history rather than inhabitant/control history ^.^




I think the border should look something like this:
http://www.hickerphoto.com/data/media/183/dolomites-mountain-range_10393.jpg

It would slowly give way to what we see in your pic above and the vast expanse that is the highlands on Dragonson's map.
Behind the range you see, it would just be more of the same, except taller mountains and A LOT of them, so tall the lower paths become much colder and blizzards are as common as rain in Britain ^.^

 

[Gyrosphinx]

I think it is alright, but remember to tweak it

 

[Dragonson]

OKay... here's the Inkita map with Nianor Settlements

And here's the Highlands map, updated with mountain range and mulgoreness.

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Looks great!

 

[SoLmaster]

OK, is my city approved?

 

[Dragonson]

I asked you some questions about it SoL.
Answer them and i'l look into it. (Check page 4.)

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Just wow, lol This'll be a great help! +Rep

 

[Dragonson]

Thanks. ^^

 

[SoLmaster]

Yes it that mountain but you don't have to fear it because of the Shev-citean loyality to the elves. Well, the whole mountain and good part of it underground.

 

[Dragonson]

kk.
Your city is approved.
adding to map.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

No but WE should fear the elves they shall pawn us all! If they know how to find us hehe

Control through fear...

 

[Dragonson]

They wont PAWN you as long as they're prosperous, living in wealth and has a continuously growing trade network.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

That's slightly contradictory... how do we know you won't make your army even more ownage with more wealth/trade connections!?

The Kyrrin trust no one. Unless... nah.

 

[Dragonson]

If one's goal is wealth, not power, why should he waste his wealth on an army?
(Yup. The Warrior caste is more for security than for offense.)
There's lots of space to colonize yet.

Hmm... elves are considered 'Masters Of The Words' or 'First Speakers'...
So this could be a trick

Oh well, we'll have to find out

The Kyrrin don't even know of your existence yet

 

[Gyrosphinx]

Neighter do the Ramorughaur

 

[Dragonson]

Allright! You're on the map SoL!

 

[Grey Nightmare]

*Pulls a face akin to my avatar's*

I still think we need a lot more submissions there is too much empty space is there anywhere on the main continent that the elves can land at for example?

(a named place)

 

[Dragonson]

Well, i say that we set up some basics (as we've done), and then we add more as the game runs, as we need it.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

So you think it's ready to go? Or will be in a day or two? I think The World Is Flat said two.

EDIT: Something I was deadly curious about, if your character dies - what happens? Are you out of the role-play? Do you make another? Take over a mentioned NPC?

 

[Dragonson]

I think we should strat setting up the game thread and game rules about now.
That'd make sense to me.

I can't wait, will you have to contact World? Or can you do it?

Is RPing always this fun? :O I have a new hobby (I think... see how it goes)

 

[Dragonson]

RPing's level of fun depends on the RP, the DM and the Concept.
And ofcourse, on what the player THINKS is fun.
But yeah, really, RPing is LOADS of fun.

Yeh I think the whole 'help create the world' thing was a smashing idea, it allows everyone to contribute AND speeds up the time it takes to plan!

 

[The World Is Flat]

Of course it is! thats why we do it!

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Something I was deadly curious about, if your character dies - what happens? Are you out of the role-play? Do you make another? Take over a mentioned NPC?

The World Is Flat, any speculation on that?

 

[The World Is Flat]

Ur dead. you can make a new char. or you pals can revive you. but mostly i'd liek to keep away from killing you guys.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Sure that sounds good, sept the last bit! Someone needs to die! It would be boring if everyone resurrected themselves Ofc as you said they could come back and at the very least you wouldn't kill someone off without consulting us and would wait until we actually 'feel' for the character

 

[The World Is Flat]

lol, well dragonson, i woud like you to make the thread for chars and rules please nao. link to this thread.

 

[Dragonson]

Ya want me to make and adminstrate the thread containing chars and rules?

 

[The World Is Flat]

Yes that i correct! I ill create and administrate the thread wth the RP.

 

[Dragonson]

Okay people! All members of this RP shall now post and discuss Rules and Charecters in the Charecter Vault!

 

[SoLmaster]

More citean families
Dra-Citean "Dragonoth Citean"
Jasid-Citean "Markless Citean"

Citean magic
The Core Stones of Citeans use Mythras, powerful magic flow. Also used in creation.

Submission Name:
Mythras

Submission Type:
Magic

Description:
What Citean magic is called.

History:
Found by a mage in a mine. The magic is born in Mythras stones and is very powerful. Said to contain the Jaad but they could not crack the stones. When the creator, Citea found that these could make live. She started a project that ended with the creation of the Citean. Only these born of the stone can use it magic but at a cost, too much and they will turn of for a good amount of years.

 

[Dragonson]

Heh. SoL?
You really should cut down on those.
In my opinion the families you have ATM will do quite nicely.

 

[SoLmaster]

Citean families grow and become new families but your right the ones I have now are fine. What about the magic thought.

 

[Dragonson]

Hmm.
So, you're saying they use their energy cores for magic?

 

[SoLmaster]

Yes, it a but weird but it fits.

 

[Dragonson]

That's pretty much life magic, which is approved allready.
So, i vote Approved.
