Hey all you people, I have maps for y'all:
Updated Political MapFully Updated Political Plus MapClimate MapEthnic MapKey - Climate:
The greener it gets, the more fertile would tend to be. Grey is both highlands and steppes.
Red line is the equator, the yellow ones mark the tropics.
Key - Ethnic:
Red = Eastern European/Slavic
Dark Orange = Indian Subcontinental
Orange = Britonic/Anglo/Saxon
Gold = Germanic
Yellow = Middle Eastern & North African
Lime Green = Greek
Green = Latin
Navy Blue = Nordic
Cyan = Frank
Pink = Native North & South American
Purple = East Asian
Yes, the political borders in the ethnic map are out of date. Use your imagination.
Avalonia beefs up its navy (not the one in the Sea of Ormica, the one for the general ocean). Small, ballista-like contraptions come standard on the stem and stern.
Nazgar's fortifications reach completion. Work on the vaults and galleries beneath continues; effort has been made to ensure that the majority of excavation is far enough down so as not to affect the structural integrity of the ground beneath the city, and as a whole everything's being built pretty solidly.
Avalonian horsemen come up with a clever invention, and its use spreads through Avalonia quickly. It wouldn't really be seen by anyone not trading with Avalonia by land. Super secret from the rest of the world for now I guess.
Avalonia sees the inaction of the Plexian leadership, and decides to take in refugees as it always has. Ships stopping by for trade pick up passengers for a small fee (usually just that they work on board and something to cover the expense of food and water). Ships travel in armed convoys around Plexia given the violence in the area.
I've left Plexia to fend for itself due to OOC reasons. If morn decides the rp is worth his time, I'll swoop down in Plexia and beat the ever living daylight out of its enemies. But I'm not going to waste resources on an inactive minion.
Avalonia turns down Erinaum's offer. Avalonia already has awesome bows, what would it do with crossbows?
