Okay, so about 4,200 miles across, or twice the size of the continental US. That's still really big, so I'm curious about transportation (do they use magical teleporters or airships to get around, or does it just take weeks or months to travel from one nation to another)? What impact does that have on things like trade?
Also, a landmass that big and there are only three nations would make them closer to sprawling empires than simple kingdoms. I'm guessing some kind of feudal system, where counts and dukes hold allegiance to the king but also have some independence in how they rule their fiefdoms? How do the respective nation leaders keep their lands in check? Are civil wars a common problem? How is the peace kept?

...OK, I’m going to have to scratch the map and work from the ground up. Here we go.
Drunnika is a comparatively small continent, only some 100,000 square miles in area. As I said before, it is composed of three nations:North Drunnik, South Drunnik, and Sentok. The first is 30,000 square miles, the second, 64,000, and the final, only 6,000. The first is ruled by a dwarven warrior-king, who gains their title by inheritance or by defeating the previous king in combat. The second is ruled by a corrupt parliament with a puppet king, and is divided into five districts, each with a governer imposed by the parliament. Sentok is ruled by a council of orc and goblin chiefs who meet together once a month to discuss issues and create laws. Does this work out?

Yeah. I wasn't trying to criticize or anything, just trying to learn more about the world, is all.

It's OK, I've just been a bit stressed lately.

So...my brother got in trouble again...
I don't I can wait on him anymore, and you two probably feel similarly. He gave me the OK to NPC his character; if he's still interested when his punishment lets out, he can jump in. I plan to get the first IC post up by tomorrow night. Still on board?

I meant to ask before, but Gravity, you said we were going to arrive separately. Does that mean we're in different parts of the town?

Yes; you are.

I had another lore question. You said all the orcs and goblins were eventually forced to migrate to Sentok. What keeps them there, though? A great wall? Border patrol? Magical barrier?

A constant border patrol is set up along a wall, but raiders can often get through via weak spots during the brief time between shifts.

Does the map say which direction the other town is from Meyerville?

Post by GravityEmblem on Jun 7, 2018 20:56:13 GMT -8
Yes; it’s to the southwest, edging close to Sentok.

I don't know if you want to throw an Investigate roll too, Daos? No doubt you're a slight better at it than Bayla is
