I guess it is good idea to wait for (at least) one more player with his profile, before starting the game.

Alright. We have waited long enough. We will just play with two players for now and maybe someone will join later.

As I promised, I've made a simple map of RP's world. It is rather a beta-version Here it is:






Grey areas - mountains.
Dark green areas - swamps.
Light blue areas - lakes
Light blue lines - rivers
Yellow areas - desert
Green dots - forests
Red lines - state's border
Black squares - state's capital

I havent called the capitals of your kingdoms, because I though you would want to make them yourself. :)

Later I will tell more about this world and make a RP topic. For now I am taking a break. :p


EDIT:

Empire consists of  seven countries/territories:
-   Imperial Capital Territory - 0
-   Kingdom of Westmark - 2
-   Duchy of Osilia (Duke of Osilia is a vassal of King od Westmark) - 1
-   Duchy of Reval (Duke of Reval is a vassal of King of Deutia) - 1
-   Kingdom of Deutia - 2
-   Kingdom of Eastphalia - 2
-   Farlands - 1

As I stated before new Emperor is chosen by imperial states. Numbers by each country indicates how many votes that particular state has, when it comes to election. Temporary governor of Imperial Capital Territory (whom always is a Grand Master of The Imperial Order) has decisive vote, but only in case of a tie. Actual Emperor, Maximilian IV is also a King of Westmark and Lord of Osilia.

Beside Empire there is one more power that has great influence on every country at Patras. It is called The Imperial Order, which conisists of tens of thousand knights that took oath to defend the people of Patras from the outside enemies. They have many castles inside Empire and a few in Kingdom of Krumlov, which is at front of fighting with Feorian hordes. Grand Master of Order is theoretically a subject of Emperor, but in practice he is given a free hand in making decisions that affects Order’s interest.

Kavala is a aristocratic republic, ruled by noblemen. In the past republic of Kavala was one of the Empire’s kingdoms, but now is fully independent state. Kavala is the major maritime power at Southern Sea and it has almost a monopoly at sea trade, as it has many trading ships (as well as warships) and it controls crucial routes from western countries. The Kavala’s main antagonist is the Kingdom of Adorno, who tries to win control over sea trade.

Feorians are not so united as some people of Patras would think. They are dived on two powers: The Great Horde and Feorian United Tribes. The first one is a tribe that arrived at northern Feoria as the last one. The Highest King of the Horde believes that it is his tribe’s divine right to rule over all the world and he ofteh wages wars at “People of the North” and others Feoria tribes that refuses to recognize his authority as the lord of all Feorians. United Tribes were once upon the time the greatest threat of Patrasians, but now they are mainly defending what they gained so far, although they still have big armies at their disposal.

Really? That's great. You can play as the ruler of one of the existing kingdoms (see map above) or as the chief or wandering tribe/horde.

Firstly: it is a republic, so you could have been only chosen by the nobles and as such you can have the title of Consul.

Secondly: your people can't be loyal members of the Empire, since Kavala hasn't been a part of the Empire for a long time already.

Thirdly: let me edit my post in RP part, so I could introduce you to the game and then you can make decision as you see fit, alright? ;)
