Thought some of you might want to see this. It's a rough map of the world. You're not going to see many other countries, just the important ones. If you want to create anything lore wise or take a chunk of land and develop it for fun, let me know and we can make that happen. I have a general idea of what everything is and does, but it never hurts to have more hands working on something to make it more fleshed out and interesting, should we want to.

So, what I did put on there is the four major cities/countries we'll need to know about or remember for the game. No, the cities aren't necessarily to scale, but the ones that do look massive are meant to be so.

P = Poria
MR = Mistlord Republic, referred to as such because it only just got annexed
C = Clord, city and country
Z = Zekeshaven

Poria is the seat of all power in the Riordan Empire and is pretty much as big as it looks on that map. The orange continent is connected to the red one containing Poria. They're one land mass, broken up the same way North America and Russia are on a map, just more directly connected. You can consider them to be two separate halves of one continent, but with a massive ocean between them and one massive land bridge to the north keeping them connected.

Zekeshaven is a city of power and wealth, pretty much the home of anyone and everyone with money or influence.

Clord is the force behind the Riordan Empire's economy, maintaining it and controlling it. Most of the goods it exported before being taken over were sold at the highest of prices. After being taken over, Clord kept some measure of autonomy, but it also became one of the main providers of weapons and equipment for the empire with factories cropping up across the country over the course of weeks.

The Mistlord Republic is in a unique position of having some ability to stand up to the Riordan Empire. The country has a higher concentration of powerfully gifted magic users, far beyond the capabilities of any other country. Only through the sheer force of all other nations combined were the Mistlord leaders brought to heel and even then, only through trickery and deceit as needed to end the bloodshed. Though the country held out for decades, many Mistlord citizens are glad to see the war finally end.

I also made a 3D globe of the map. It wasn't hard, but I don't know how to put it in a post as there's no like... share... thing. I have a code for it though. I might ask @RECONmaster for some help with it in the future once we've fleshed the map out more.

EDIT: Oh and the little light brown lines are defunct land bridges that went under water thousands of years ago.

Hey Coolpool, you mind writing in past tense? It's generally a rule of mine that every write in the same tense. Keeps the writing flow as you read it back.

I haven't said anything until now because I wanted to see if present tense worked since Sacha is such a unique character, but... yeah, I'm gonna have to ask you to start using past tense, if you wouldn't mind.

Alright I'll start writing in past tense. I really don't have a preference, and it's easier that way anyways.

Not to rush anybody or anything, but I'll be able to put up a response to any more posts up till late afternoon / early evening EST. Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure about my postability for another week.

It's alright if we have to take stuff slow in the bar. I might move the game forward once or twice, but we can have bar shenanigans for everyone else while we wait for you to come back. Not a big deal. Have fun!

Thanks! Fully intend to. As to the bar scene, Fortune's stuff should be pretty much wrapped up until further plot development happens.

By the way, just for reference the only emotions Sacha expresses on its face unconsciously are happyness, sadness, surprise, and curiosity. Others may be shown to a very small extent, but are otherwise completely conscious face movements.

Update: good news and bad news. Will have internet access starting late Sunday, if the road trippin' goes to schedule. However, am now the only driver for the whole trip there. Sucks.

Name: Cassandra Malone
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Race: Human

Appearance: A compact, young woman with short, black hair. No scars to speak of. She usually wears business casual clothing, though she's been known to dabble with dresses from time to time.
Personality: Quiet, timid, and most certainly not a feminist in any way, no siree! She knows her place in the world and being anything more than a receptionist at her office job would be almost overwhelming!

She was well liked both in high school and college, married her first boyfriend, and had two sweet children she can never even imagine letting go! After settling down and starting a family, she got a job as a receptionist because her husband absolutely insisted she do so, not that she even needed to!

Magic: Commander Malone has been known to use her light based magical gifts to great effect in many operations. In the Scourge of A████████, her ███████ ███████ suggested her for promotion on the basis of ██████████ ██████████████ ████. Throughout her career, ███████████ ███ ██████ ████ ████████████████ ███ █████████ ████ ███████████ █████████ ████████████████ ██████████████ ██████████████ ████ ████ ███████ ██████ ███████. Further growth is expected.

(OOC: So, I rolled a d20 for each of you to see just how much your character remembered about their time in the bar before blacking out and waking up the next morning.

@Tirin - You rolled a 3. You remember little of what happened the night before, but through your mental prowess, you are able to glean from the others' knowledge that a woman with dyed black hair tried to make the six of you into a group. You also remember the word "iteration", but don't know what context it was used in.

@Tolvan - You rolled an 18. You remember being tapped on the shoulder lightly by a woman with dark black hair, a sudden compulsion to sit in the booth in the northern corner of the bar. You remember being told you were now part of a group known as the Last Iteration. You also know instinctively that the six of you would feel an unconscious pull towards one another.

@Jeroth - You rolled an 11. Rather than getting shitfaced like everyone else, you let your tip jar get full, almost literally impossibly so, until you said fuck it and found the hardest batch of magical liquor your boss had set aside for his 50th anniversary (twenty years from now, no less). Your body is literally buzzing, but you remember the term "Locus of Power" and that it somehow pertains to the Brigand's Barroom.

@Easy - You rolled an 18, but due to your ability, you rolled a 7. You do not remember much, but the thought of looking at the booths in the other corner and turning your head makes you feel queasy.

@coolpool2 - You rolled a 2, unfortunately, just one away from a critical failure. You remember nothing of the night before, except that there were a lot of human women with dyed hair, but when is that ever worth mentioning? You keep the information to yourself.

Occasionally I'll roll dice and they won't always be d20s. When I do, you'll usually get an OOC post like this. I'll post them in the game thread and in the OOC thread. If you miss the dice roll post, you'll either delete your post or have your post deleted and then you'll take the dice post into account. Don't worry about it too much, just keep an eye out and make sure you read everything before posting.

Anyways, the long opening post is done. We're just about ready to start the role playing shenanigans. Everyone wake up and remark upon what you remember from the night before, but don't go outside the bar yet.)
