A single ship sailed into harbor. Three masted. It looked regalian, but it was also clearly not. The sails were checkered, the flag was unknown to any state in the known Alorian world, the people on deck wore strange clothing and spoke a strange language. The ship eventually moored at the port in Regalia, immediately to be quarantined by the port authorities until a whole detachment of Viridian Knights as well as Violet guards approached with city officials in tow. After several hours of arduous translating between interpreters, the crew of the ship had managed to establish somewhat decent communication with the Regalians. This seemingly insignificant arrival of a ship had massive implications to the world view of the known world, or the Regalian Empire. As the captain of the ship rolled out a map vaguely showing the Yang-tzu isles in the top left, vast landmasses previously unknown to anyone came into view. Massive nations with foreign names, roads linking cities, trade lanes and drawings of strange creatures dotted the map. Cartographers were rushed to the scene, comparing maps and redrawing sea and land lines. Within hours, it became apparent that this seemingly foreign ship came from a land called "Tarch Cairdchlann". The language was eerily similar to Claith, yet still not understandable to fluent Claith speakers. Tarch Cairdchlann was a small maritime Republic on a vast continent. The crew of the ship spoke taled of hundreds of years of history in those lands completely separated from Regalia. It became apparent, that the origin of the Human species had at long last been reconnected with the Regalian sphere. These continents were cut off from the area around the Elven Empire during the Cataclysm, and all had assumed they were lost to the seas. No ship had ever dared to cross the Southern Unknown for fear what would await them on the other side. These brave explorers had made the crossing from the other side however, and stumbled into a world of equal amazement and wonder than the Regalians who met them in reverse. Within hours the merchant houses and political offices were filled to the brim with would be explorers, merchants and other folk wishing to open up opportunities in these far away lands. The state quickly sanctioned that any and all naval shipping to these new continents was forbidden by State law, however the state would send a few ships. And so the ships sailed off, headed by the foreign ship, on their way to Tarch Cairdchlann. They would hopefully return in time, bringing produce and more news from this far away land.
-hopes to freaking god for some dragons, some freaking dragons all he is asking for- GIMME SOME FREAKIN DRAGONSS! and no, not @Sevrish
Uh.... My character's last name is Corcairdhearg. Tarch Cairdchlann I think I may need to fill out a player quest for diplomancy.
Well...you don't know me at all, @Thalan79, but diplomacy is something I'd like to get in on as well!
shoot me a forum conversation with a letter asking to join and giving reasons as to why you'd be good for it and I am game.
Abababababababababababababababababaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I demand maps, new mobs, and at least 10 new races & nations, STAD!
Well, looks good to me! I'm excited to see what the Staff will come up with for this one. I assume something is already planned, but if some sort of ideas were wanted I wouldn't mind brainstorming.
I had a solo for a verse of this in my elementary school concert :P EHRMAGEHRD!!! Yes DRAGONS! GIVE THEM TO ME NOW! I mean, they would be nice. And, new races would be AWESOME too! I'd write like 10 race lore pages... I like races.
Ohnak seem heavily inspired by wendigos. Wendigos are native American folklore beasts. The fact Baba posted this makes me think if this world is what I think it is.
I wander if these guys from the southern unknown have some new forms of weaponry. Maybe something close to a hand gun like a hand cannon or flint and musket. I can imagine them having a fairly big navy if they are a maritime state. Looks like a new rival to the Regalian Navy is upon us. Everyone quickly prepare your storage and ration your foods and expenses. According to Catcat1305, war is assumedly coming. Ration and prepare your supplies immediately!
Azthis is gonna go incognito style across the ocean following the ships. Cue mission impossible music.
Known World= size of Europe. Discovered world= a continent. We discovered the Alorian new world. Somewhat historically possible, seeing we're in the Alorian equivalent to the 14th-15th century. Except this one is much closer to "Europe" than the Americas.
If we assume the known world would be the equivalent of Europe(Europe because it was said that the known world and Europe are the same size), then I think not. The Americas are further away than this newer discovered place. I could be wrong.
We did not discover any of the Irl countries. Aloria is fictional. Even if anything, the people is this fictional place discovered us instead. Who stumbled across who? They stumbled across us, not we.
If Alorian geography is about the same shape and size as Earth geography, then we can assume that this new southern unknown of magical EPICNESS SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is approximately Africa? Either way, YUSSSS SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE
