We struck this out for the last thread, do you guys want to reinstate it?
>>Fylgð Busi
Reporting!
>>46407172
>>46407242
The elouice magisters would be willing to offer our centuries of magical knowledge to such an alliance; in addition, we would like to announce plans to begin settling some of our peoples in land south of the australian sea, so as to have a more readily available arm of our people in this alliance.
>>46407418
Thanks, Nora.

Since you dealt with these creatures for far longer than we have, what can you tell us about them?

Map Update
>>46407418
I put my nation's stats into a block.
Sorry it took a while. I was busy forging trade agreements.
>>46407431
I am biased, having struck at least three major trade agreements and some information sharing since I started, but yes.
>Oppana
Expanding north into the frozen woods and along the eastern edge of the Green Sea. If that is ok with everyone.
>>46407482
>Southern Kingdoms
Well in short, they're vicious, unpredictable, and completely terrifying. My people have a long history of squaring off against these monsters. In only a small amount of cases have we ever captured any. For the most part we just killed them and that's worked out pretty well so far. However, I do see the benefit in this mission and what we can discover about these things will surely be helpful.
>>46407445
>>46407242
>Shi' dik
We would be amenable to this outpost. Are the Southern Kingdoms agreed?
In other news, we would like to offer the Southern Kingdoms increased granite and steel shipments to aid in their defenses against the Wendigo.
>>46407583
>Oppana
I wonder if it would of been wise to bring some people of the Black Rock along.
>>46407583
Very good then. I ask because we wanted to know if these monsters are evil spirits or vicious creatures. When should we leave?
>>46407566
Personally, I think it should be on a roll of 15 or more on a d20 with every meaningful post.
What does everyone else think?
What century would a Technology 5 Civ have?
>>46407609
>Southern Kingdoms
Perhaps, but numbers are not the most important thing when facing the Wendigo.
Pure complete iron-willed resolve is the only true weapon against them. We must be brave and dauntless for otherwise we will scatter like rats and be easy kills for these hungry abominations.
>>46407618
>Fylgð Busi
forgot my name
>>46407609
Perhaps you could take them down along the water to probe the Wendigo's west side.

Again, I ask that you see this post: >>46407607
Do you find the proposed trade alliance acceptable?
>>46407583
>Amrajya
Our people would be more than happy to assist. We don't have your history of constant conflict, but they can certainly be a nuisance.
>>46407618
>Southern Kingdoms
As soon as we are ready and you have made a final prayer to your god.
>>46407692
>Southern Kingdoms
Yes, I agree to this alliance. It is best option for the future.
>>46407665
>Oppana
I see the truth in your words. It's just the battle would of been glorious.
>>46407609
>Shi' dik
The ships of Shi' dik would like to open up trade relations with the people of Oppana.
>>46407640
Sure. Add a +1 for the fitting national statistic? I also think a +1 for each nation involved would be worth it. It would make bigger expansions of effort worth more.
Bao-Ren reporting in, though I'm headed to bed.
>>46407663
Probably standard medieval fantasy.
>>46407701
>Fylgð Busi
We are prepared. Though the first part of our expedition will a bit of bored since we will study them first.
>>46407734
Excellent!
Then the Dwarven Mine of Shi' dik and the people of Míntha formally welcome the Southern Kingdoms and Eloudice into the Southern Trade Initiative!
May prosperity and good health great us all!
>>46407754
>Oppana
I welcome your negotiations friends. How may we help each other? Also us and the people of the Fylgð Busi are currently planning on building a trade port off of your western coast. We hope this will make trade between the North and South easier.
>>46407770
>Southern Kingdoms
Very well, when you give the word we will leave.
>>46407813
Oh fuck me I just noticed the pun

Ready here.

>Fylgð Busi
>>46407815
Are you ready for the hunt? S.K and I are leaving at dawn.
>Elouice
We have begun settling along the southern coast of the australian sea, establishing an outpost. We propose a ship trade route between this outpost and mi-ta, to circumvent the trek around the sea.
>>46407839
>Fylgð Busi
Discard what I said. I see you're ready. Onward then.
>>46407879
>forgetting the image again
>>46407759
Sleep well friend. May your battles be bloody and long.
>>46407815
I would also like to increase the trade between the North and South! The South has already made great strides with the Southern Trade Initiative, and we would like to spread this prosperity.
Currently, we are greatly interested in your leather and wool, and we have many fine metals, marble, limestone, granite, and gems. We also make excellent steel to aid in your military expeditions.
In order to facilitate trade, we would like to build a trading port on one of your southern isles. It would allow our sailing ships a place to rest and replenish supplies, and it would facilitate trade not only with our nation, but with the entire Southern Trade Initiative.
We would, of course, welcome your trading post as well!
>>46407885
>Southern Kingdoms
Onward!
We leave the ancient castle fort of N'Rell the last bastion of civilization for hundreds of miles and head off into the dark and mysterious world of the Wendigo. The fort grows smaller and smaller as our party travels farther into the insidious and ancient mountains.
>>46407827
I assure you that the good people of Shi' dik have no idea what you mean. We would certainly not use any thematic punning in the naming of our great accomplishments.
>>46407879
>>46407910
>Míntha
Proposition accepted. Míntha is always happy to strengthen to bonds of the Southern Alliance. Or, as Shi'dik calls it, the STI.
>>46407948
I'm so angry.
With the adventuring party of Fylgð Busi, Oppana, and S.k., they start their quest into the Badlands for the study and hunt of Wendigo. May our gods smile upon us.
>>46407879
>Shi 'dik
As per our arrangements in the Southern Trade Initiative, we will supply five large ships to aid Míntha's efforts to deliver food through that port.
Map Update
>>46407923
>Oppana
We would happily trade you leather and wool for your quality steel. I also have another request, it's based on a rumour about Dwarves that I hope is true. The rumour being that you Dwarves love to drink?
>>46407975
Why would you be angry about the STI? The STI is a benign institution. Perhaps it can be difficult to see at times, but it will most assuredly and with regularity erupt in prosperity.
>>46407944
>>46407978
>Oppana
It's bloody cold this far south.
>>46408000
>Shi' dik
We do, indeed, love to imbibe strong drink. I believe your honey is excellent for preparing such beverages?
And would you be willing to allow the building of our trading post?
>>46408006
Well memed
>Míntha
>>46408029
>>46407944
>>46407879
I say the four of us come together and place Southern Trade Initiative trading posts in all other civilized nations. Do you agree with this plan?
>>46408029
>Oppana
Of course you may. We have many islands available within the southern part of our borders, you are welcome to build there if you wish. We will of course send some honey to sweeten the deal so to speak.
I hate this map because it makes zero geological or cosmological sense. That's not how plate tectonics work, in fact they generally work in the opposite way.
While I understand that's the point, the way the biomes are laid out takes little consideration of how the earth's tilt towards the sun effects the environment.
I'm too good for your stupid little map game and you all should feel less about yourselves for playing with it.
>>46408055
>Great Islands
Our ports are always open, and exhanges would go much faster with a full circuit.
>>46408078
Thank you for sharing, Charlene.
>>46408078
>>46408055
>Shi' dik
I absolutely agree to this plan. As you know, we are currently in negotiations with Oppana to spread the prosperity of the Southern Trade Initiative. Perhaps you could reach out to Marithia?
>>46408078
Well, if that makes you happy, Charlene.
>>46407978
>Fylgð Busi
It's a good thing we brought spice wine. Don't worry. It won't get you drunk. We must stay alert for any sign of them. It will warm you up in a bit.
>>46408097
We need a neutral color to make Trade Initiative ports. What do you suggest?
>>46408055
Trade outposts, sure; we of the Magocracy, however worry that we might spread ourselves too thin should we expand our influence too fast. We say that outside interaction should be kept toto a minimum, and the bulk of our resources focused on strengthening the STI
>>46408099
Here's one of the (You)s you crave, don't spend it all in one place
>>46407370
wait. Where's death valley? And why isn't holland land?
Several days have passed and still there was no sign of those vile black creatures. The group is starting to worry.
>>46408127
>Southern Kingdoms
It is important that we stay calm and remain composed. Those creatures and smell fear.
>>46408100
>Oppana
You south islanders and your spicy drinks. It does help though.
>>46408127
It's is strange though. Maybe we aren't the ones doing the hunting any more.
>>46408174
>>46408179
>Fylgð Busi
Should we make bait and trap or should we press on and search for them?
>Shi' dik
>>46408095
While trade would be beneficial, I do not believe any STI member states have access to the American Oceans
>>46408074
Excellent! We shall build the Trade City of Su' Kenmadik immediately!
In fact, we shall send Dwarven armies to aid the men of the North and West against the Wendigo!
>>46408116
Burnt Orange shows up pretty well on oceans.

Here is a little political map I made.
Hope you guys like it!
>>46408236
Ignore that map until STI can agree on an alliance color.
>>46408234
>Oppana
We could use some of my warriors to lure them out while you and the S.K lie in wait. But I'll leave it up to a decision as there might be a better course of action..
>>46408236
I was thinking about letting all civilized nations designate the location of the Trade Initiative ports within their boarders.
Using this PNG to mark where
>>46408246
>Oppana
You forgot two bits from mine.
>>46408265
>Southern Kingdoms
No! We cannot separate under any circumstances.
We need to think of something else.
>>46408246
>Shi' dik
If you built a trading post in Pagilia, you would be able to gain access to the American Oceans, freeing us up for further trade.
>>46408285
Hmm, what if we use my wine? Some of the bears and deer alway try to get into our cellars.These Wendigos might be interested it. It will also give us more information on their eating habits.
>>46408246
Very cool, by the way, though the d in Shi' dik is lower case
>>46408274
I like it. It doesn't have the Shi' dik brown, but if you mixed up all those colors you would get the brown.

>Míntha
To: All civilized nations
We of the Southern Trade Initiative invite you to become part of the wider world and connect yourself with the help of the STI. Simply place one of our ports (>>46408274) within your borders and you will be connected to a world-wide trade network. We look forward to doing business.
Can someone give a summary of all the events to occur?
>>46408335
>>46408368
Mapanon here.
Which of these should I use?
>>46408335
>>46408368
Damnit, ninja'd.
We'll use your version.
Although, if you don't mind, the name of the trading post is Su' Kenmadik
>>46408341
Very well then. Gather all of our wine and dig a hole. We got Wendigoes to catch. Oppana, can you build us some strong enough traps?
>>46408394
As per >>46408394
>>46408399
>Fylgð Busi
For the traps, we only need them to hold them down long enough so our priests may paralyze them with their spells.
>>46408399
>Shi' dik
The Dikish expeditionary force has arrived in the Southern Kingdoms to aid you. Shall we sally forth into the wilderness, or will our presence disturb your forces?
>>46408395
>Su' Kenmadik
Truly a glorious name.
>>46408399
I brought traps that could stop a great northern bear. I hope they hold.
>>46408354
Man. I should have claimed way more resources when I started.
>>46408425
>Fylgð Busi
Have your men be alert in case our plan goes wrong. Thanks for the help.
>>46408425
>Southern Kingdoms
Yes join us as soon as possible. Though be cautious, the Wendigo will be watching you.
>>46408449
>>46408450
You two are both invited to open yourself up to the STI and reap the benefits.
With the preparation of the trap on their ways, things are starting to turn for greater good. Now the group waits and sees if the Wendigo take the bait.

>Southern Kingdoms
Guys i think i will turn for the night. it has been very fun. If this thread is still here tomorrow i will defiantly come back.
Now let me make an excuse for leaving in the story.
Suddenly a messenger approached. "There is trouble in the capital!" he states. "All Southern Kingdom forces are recalled back home". Well it looks like you are on your own from here on out. Do not worry you have the Dwarves.
>>46408523
>Fylgð Busi
Good luck with your trouble.Goodnight
The trap is set and I see something in the distance. Quick! Everyone hide.
>>46408539
>Oppana
Steel yourselves brothers, this will not be easy.
>>46408499
Shi' dik
Granted, I limited myself by choosing to be underground, but I still feel like claiming every resource and technology under the sun is a bit much. I know there aren't really guidelines, but sticking to a few main sources of income (Metals, gems, stone or luxuries, fish, wine or lumber, grains, gold) makes more sense and is a bit more fair. I tried to limit myself according to the number of points I put into my people.
That said, I don't feel like spending my time complaining instead of playing, so that's the last I'll say on this.
Could someone write a summary of all the events that have occurred so far?
>>46408581
You should fill out the Civilization Chart.I also feel that I shouldn't have added Lumber.
>>46408572
>>46408539
>Shi' dik
The Dwarves arrive, marching their host to the expeditionary camp.
We have come to cleanse the South of its greatest threat.
>>46408604
>Fylgð Busi
Well, we can't really cleanse them. For all we know, they reproduce by using dead bodies and summon spawn. Before we do that, we must them and find their weaknesses. I see one already drinking. Seems to like. Hold on, looks like it's going to call for his pack.

>>46408601
Already did. >>46407537
>>46408583
Oppana had some wars, I guess? I'm pretty sure they fought on the Black Isles. Then, there was some tension between them and Marithia, but that ended easily.
The South banded together into a massive economic alliance called the Southern Trade Initiative, now including the Southern Kingdoms, Shi' dik, Míntha, and Eloudice - a nation descended from wizards whose reach exceeded its grasp.
Hinttervold is an isolationist community of mages that have offered to train other nations' mages with strings attached in order to maintain neutrality.
At the moment, several nations are hunting Wendigo.
Reply to this with the name of your nation and a tl;dr of it if you are still here.
>>46408354
Here's a slightly altered edition.
>>46408651
>Fylgð Busi
This is a surprise. A big one is coming. Must be the alpha. Take notes. Wendigo travel in packs with an alpha male(?) Currently, we don't know if Wendigo have genitals. Priests get ready.

>Two dozen wendigo descend on the bait. Their bodies are deceptively thin and broken things, their bodies crooked and covered in scattered patches of ratty fur and cracked blue skin. Their faces are bare, crooked things with fanged maws. Howling their unearthly song, they tear into the spiced wines and gorge themselves on its contents.
>The Alpha, clearly visible by his crown of vicious horns, takes the principle share of the bait. As the wine runs low, he slaps aside a smaller one, smacking it across the face with his massive, gnarled claw and sending the wretched creature flying... landing mere yards from the Fylgð Busi observer.
>>46408677
Shi' dik.

The pack of Wendigo started to panic. The traps ensnare most of them but it seems that the alpha was able to avoid them.
>Fylgð Busi
Damn, it's heading towards the priests. Stall it. They're almost done.
>>46408878
>Shi' dik
We have no way of reaching him without at the very least negotiating with Paglia or Ana' Tres.
I suppose you could caravan across the Pacific Desert, but then I do not know how well that would work out.
I think we should build our way to the Great Islands.

The Southern Trade Initiative would like to formally offer you the opportunity to build a trade outpost in your territory, possibly along your central eastern border. Doing this will allow us to freely trade with you and more easily facilitate future deals.
>>46408677
>The Ferron Plutocracy.
A small confederations of island city-states and minor duchies whose population consists of a mixture of 50% Humans, 10% sea-faring Minotaurs, 5% cutesy harpies, ~15% goblin slaves, ~15-20% various other sentient, non construct species, and a small but extremely powerful collection of undead Lich-Lords who control all land and political power within the states.
It's culture is mainly sea-faring, but many of its residents consider the transition to death a sacred time in ones life, so most healthcare is restricted to prevention of disease and harm, rather than treatment. It's powerful undead upperclass stems from a select few human warlords who overthrew the merfolk holding many of the lands the ferronese currently occupy and sought to keep their power by converting themselves into liches, choosing to throw away their humanity rather than let the power they worked so hard to achieve slip out of their hands due to the atrophy of age.

We have relatively low resources due to the fact we are rather small, with most of our income is from trading and selling the magical artifacts our illustrious lich-lords craft.
Our technologies moslty involve things involving ship-building and bronze-work. Our most advanced technology would be a Bronze alloy infused with magic making it incredibly light and granting its user incredible strength and unending stamina for as long as he submits his will to an undead captain, making himself essentially an extension of his commanders will.

I suggest making our first trade port in Lesser Fahrkland, seeing as how its is rather in the middle of such a great expanse of water.
If you agree to make one there, i will contact their lich-lord and request he start construction of the dock as well as the shipping warehouses immediately.

The Southern Trade Initiative will include it in our trade routes.

Put me up north of the mountains above where the Bering Strait would be.
Upper Snowvakia: A land of snow, ice, and the occasional village eking out an existence way up there. Loosely united under one banner, the Snowvakian way of life focuses more on figuring out how to survive, and not on the finer things in life, leading to the sorry state of Snowvakian """"Culture"""". Fortunately, the horrible hundred-year blizzard keeping them isolated has finally let up!
>Government
Due to the isolated and sparsely populated nature of Snowvakian towns, authority is concentrated mainly on the local level, though all villages send representatives to a larger administration.
>Religion
There's spirits and gods everywhere, but they're mostly asshole Ice and Snow ones. The Snowvakians tend to worship the ones that keep their families from freezing and their towns from starving.
>Technology
Intense necessity breeds intense innovation compared to your average snowbound society. Snowvakian technology isn't known for complexity so much as durability.
All the better to survive with.
>Culture
Snowvakian culture is mostly drinking, making sure your family is okay, and then drinking.
>Military
While each village has some guards...who would ever WANT to invade Snowvakia?
>Population
A fertile land, Snowvakia is not.
>Resources
Fish, Lumber, Crops, and a mystical rock used by wizards to keep warm. All pretty standard resources.
>Magic
It's focused mostly on Fire, Fertility, and keeping ICE SPIRITS from attacking.

Military: Plate armoured knights yo, backed by filthy peasant archers and pole arms.
Resources and Pop: Not the largest nation, but reasonable.
Technology: Looking good. A few crazy academics say this new black powder they've made is important. True knights laugh at them, it's useful to blow through walls in sieges at best.
Magic: The domain of the gods. Anything lesser doing it is scum that needs to be shown some chivalry.
Religion: A lot of gods, they don't interfere with us too much because they have their own shit to deal with.

Your traders are welcome, especially in Calida Nevan, but only the kingdoms themselves may own land within our borders, even on such temporary terms as a trade outpost.

I see I have a new northern neighbour. In our current times we see your artistic achivements and are in awe. The dress of your people is in fashion amongst our nobility.
To Amrajya:
I imagine our countries are distant trade centres to each other. You said your northern region is mostly dense jungle, so our actual populations are pretty far from each other. My wine and tobacco can go south, while your spices and textiles come north, probably mostly by ship through the Panama Straights.

To: Paglia, Doplanovka and the Great Islands
Greetings, we would like to discuss an alliance, this would not only expand our territories and potential trade routes, it would also expand our military forces, technological progress, magical prowess and culture. We have a strong military force, minerals that could be forged into weaponry and armor and advancements in metallurgy, Doplanovka has artillery, Paglia has agricultural resources in Cattle and Crops, and Horses for transportation on land and into battle, and the Great Islands have advanced technology and the help of the Blackrock Islands, for additional military power.
Wew

>Bao-Ren
If still there, the Bao-Ren went ahead and expanded north to lay claim to the other orange territory that had been claimed above, mor or less just expanding up northeast to the cusp of the Greenland Sea.

Cities surrounded by massive walls and ruled by the Everking.
>>46408677
>The Blackrock Islands, populated by the Bao-Ren
Cannibalistic monkey-like orcs. Supersititious clans of primitive, warlike peoples that raid and pillage along the North American Ocean. Worship the Great Islanders as walking gods, seeing them both as greater figures to be respected as well as valuable sacrifices to island spirits whose flesh is a great gift to consume.
>>46409678
>Doplanovka
I agree, a trade alliance would be most beneficial and reduces possible nearby threats.
New Vates reporting back.
>>46412281
>paglia is back
Land of huge ass plain.
nomads in plains, caravan guilds moving people and stuff from coast to coast.
lotsa horses.
>>46409678
For now we agree with trade alliance but see no reason to make our relations more close.
>>46407370
I wasn't here for last thread, but I started wondering: What would the map look like if the volume of water was conserved instead of the sea level?
>>46413511
Turn the unused Pacific Desert back into an ocean, and you're probably good.
Names should work again, I believe.
Bao-Ren clans are revealed to dwell much further north than previous believed, though the culture of the northern ice-dwellers is similiar but not identical to those of the Blackrock Islands. Kayaks replace dugout canoes, and seals and whales make up a large majority of the orcs' diet. They are notable hairer than their southern kin, grey flesh covered thick white body hair.
A warband of Bao-Ren likewise ply the waters of the Great Northern Ocean and end up on the far coast, establishing a small community on the cold peninsula, making a rough living in the remote region. Raiders and traders tease at the northern borders of the UDK regularly.
>>46409678
While not asked for their opinion, the Bao-Ren do relish raiding the Ana'tres, not only due to their close proximity to the storm-wracked islands, but also due to being one of the few threats worthy of giving the Bao-Ren true combative rivals.
Corpses of the scorpionfolk are a prized commodity, being used much as the native beasts and monsters are as they are crafted into armor and crude weaponry. They are no godlings, but rather animals that walk like men.
You know, while I have my doubts that it would ever happen, it seems like the Bao-Ren, Ana'tres, and Wendigo at least do share the fact that they are the setting's most dominant monstrous races.
Might be a setting, if it wasn't was for the Shit Dick Dwarves, their cock-shaped territory, and their mighty city of In the Butt.
>>46412045
>>46413310
Thank you for your agreements. In addition, we hear that the south of Paglia is under attack from Wendigos? Doplanovka could potentially build walls with high quality metal from our mountains, and if we can get Great Islands to join us, we can also use their fortification designs to further protect us, and potentially advance fortification technology.
>>46413815
That`s why I was planning on allying with the Great Islands, due to the fact that would by proxy, have us ally with the Bao-Ren Clans, due to us now being allies to your worshipped.
Eh, not really, The Ana`tres are not mindless savages, it`s mainly due to Bao-Ren attacks and a potential war from Oppana, that they have such a focus for war. If they were allied with the Great Islands, they`d have to deal with less attacks from Blackrock Islands and could potentially advance culturally.Which is also one of the reasons which I want to ally with Great Islands, Doplanovka, and Paglia.
>>46414181
To be honest, even if you were allied with the Great Islands, without a lot of convincing by the part of the Islanders, the Bao-Ren wouldn't really let up in their raiding of your shores what so ever. You are animals to be hunted, a savage foe to test one's mettle against.
>>46414237
Then I guess we`ll build a wall.
Make Ana`tres Great Again!
>>46414247
>a wall
>as a defense against the cannibalistic raiders that almost encircle your northern territory
I mean, I can't imagine villages in northern Ana'tres don't have walls, but there's only really so much you can do to protect against the sea.
>>46414309
More advanced walls, the current PDA alliance will redefine walls and wall technology.
>>46414338
It isn't much of Alliance, though. Doplanovka agreed to opening trade, while Paglia specifically said they had no intentions of entering into anything resembling close relations but simply trading goods.
>>46409678
>Great Islands
We are always open to commercial shipping contracts, but we are hesitant to enter into a formal military alliance. If you wish to also engage in an exchange of knowledge we are also willing to look into the possibility of that, thought that would be a very closely moderated situation as you can imagine.Also good morning
>>46414420
Welcome back, godlings. Also, if you do enter into a trade agreement with the Ana'tres, we'd be happy to pillage their vessels as they return to their shores. What better trade can you have than exchanging goods and then getting what you gave them right back from the hands of the Bao-Ren? Not exactly moral, but look at these ugly fucks. Do you really expect that to be a high priority?
>>46414420
We see, we would like to accept your offer, due to your fortification technology, to help us against the Oppana and Bao-ren Clans, and your superior shipbuilding.
Good morning everyone, Míntha is awake and ready for business.

It's copy pasta, Anon
>>46407370
>she-dick
>>46414487
The Great Islands would not be willing to share it's accrued naval advances, but would be open to an exchange of our knowledge of sea-side fortifications for your improved metal working techniques.
That also reminds me of what we would be at, considering our almost complete focus on the water, we would be fielding something similar along the lines of a schooner design for trade along our eastern shores, for the speed of getting the hell out of dodge, and something more like a carrack for going out onto the open ocean.
I had the idea in mind for a cutter, but that is vastly ahead of the times and would be pretty bullshit even for a faction with an affinity for naval action.
>>46414481
It's not as if we would go over and tell you to stop, though we would not really tell you to. It would provide incentive for our ships being the ones to make the runs, at a favorable monetary compensation, of course.
>>46415062
Close, but not exactly.
>>46415163
I suppose that is fair, an exchange of your fortification technology for our metalworking.
>>46414808
Yup
>>46414776
I have lots of wood as well as a variety of artisan goods. Once we get a good source of textiles and similar supplies we'll have much more to give.
>>46414764
Snowvakia interested in importing food from more fertile lands. Preferably in an easily preserved form, but we'll take what we can get.
We do have (going by your stats) some mystical goods you might be interested in. Also boats, we can build some of those.
>>46415583
What kind of mystical goods?
>>46415462
>Fylgð Bus
I will trade about twenty pounds of clay for highest quality textiles.
>>46415062
Shit Dick, actually. And one of his towns is In the Butt.
>>46415163
>providing an incentive for Great Islanders to handle all of the shipping in the Great Northern Ocean
That sounds pretty fantastic, and the Bao-Ren would be happy to muscle others out of the waters to help you set up your monopoly. And I reckon a cutter would work well enough, given you are the most technologically advanced civilization bar none.
Also, one of the larger Bao-Ren beseech the Great Islanders to allow them to ride on your White-Winged Seabirds to travel farther than our own crude vessels can take us. We can offer our services as guards and warriors to protect both your vessels and your settlements far across the Great Ocean and beyond.
We will even give our word that these marines swear not to eat the flesh of Godlings until their service is finished, though they will wish to perform native rites to beseech the spirits of the sea and whatever lands they find themselves upon for safety.
>>46415462
>>46415583
Both Snowvakia and New Vates would likely have experience with intermittent raids by the Bao-Ren, from the newly founded settlement between you while Snowvakia also would be likely to encounter polar Bao-Ren, as seal-hunters and whalers travel along the frozen coasts.
>>46415661
Alchemical Goods, charms n' such that ward off spirits, magical hearths that warm entire houses, magical coal used in said hearths.
>>46415686
>anyone wanting to raid Snowvakia
haha, now they are stuck in Snowvakia.
UDK on station. Getting chivalry all up in this shit.
So if an exchange of technologies and resources is confirmed, do we write it down on our sheet?
>>46415768
>stuck in Snowvakia
I mean, polar monkey-orcs. They aren't going to see that as much of an issue, as it's their standard environment except filled with manflesh.
>>46415768
We happen to have a surplus of wheat this season, so we would be happy to trade some of our supplies for some of those goods. >>46415668
We don't have many textiles, and all that we do produce are used in the creation of garments. Sorry.
Doplanovka is back.
>>46415811
Fair enough.
>>46415813
Fantastic. I'm sure the individual merchants will work out the exact exchange of how many of what good equals how much of the other, but both our peoples are sure to prosper.
>Fylgð Bus
An update on the captured Wendigo. So far, they have been quite a nuisance to keep caged and clam. Luckily with some wine and ,strangely temple chants, they seem to simmer down.
>>46414764
You are kinda small and out of the way. That said, we in the UDK have great respect for you. Hopefully our borders can remain peaceful and economic.
>>46415583
The northern kingdoms of the UDK are also a potential food source for you. Traders are welcome, so long as they're not those blasted eskimo orcs from the north-east.
Is Hinttervold still here?
>>46416167
Snowvakia is very interested in trade with the UDK. We'll refrain from selling magical goods out of respect for your culture (and not wanting a crusade on our heads), but we have much in the way of lumber and shipbuilding that you may be interested in.
>>46416491
We're not particularly short of wood, but if you have better woods for shipbuilding we could be interested in importing it.
After all, some sort of grand armada might be necessary to deal with these orcish savages at some point.
>>46417005
We were thinking of carving a few icebergs into some kind of mobile fortress/harbor, and patrolling the seas that way.
Seems efficient.
>>46416491
>>46417005
We hear talk against the Blackrock Clan, they have plagued our territory, continually attacking us by the coastline. Perhaps we can discuss an alliance to deal with these Bao-Ren savages.
>>46417109
As a nation with a military verging on nonexistent, We're not advocating for war, per se, so much as Anti-Piracy measures.
>>46417318
>>46417090
Sorry about that. Keep taking off the name to post in other threads.
I'll just throw on a trip.
>>46417371
If you wish to not be raided, then the Bao-Ren are happy to accept tribute. If you deal with us, we can keep you safe better than any and our raiders shall serve as your defenders. And friend of Blackrock is friend of Great Islands.
We are even happy to share oil of whales with you, as we have little use for it but building firebombs. Whalers and protectors of your ports, in exchange for tribute.
I am back. And ready to expand the Marithian peoples land. To take the regions up to the Forsallines, Effectively connecting main area Marithia to those territories. If there's anyone un willing for such a proposition, especially my Southern neighboring nation Mintha, speak now or hold your peace for expansion.
>>46417443
We don't mind so long as you are willing to accept a Southern Trading Initiative trading post within your boarders.
>>46417483
I am willing to accept this proposition. It will benefit the both of our economies.
