After a conversation with Dirks last night, I’ve decided to slightly change the order of business.

Firstly, this thread will only address the Brotherhood’s attempted occupation of the barony of Tylmerande, and (for now) will be considered non-canon, to get around some issues revolving around closed member participation.

Once the FQ begins in earnest, the Brotherhood’s main coup will begin in Radasanth and will give people the opportunity to jump in and out to either help defend Radasanth or assist the Brotherhood. It is at this point, when the FQ thread is dealt with, that I will apply to have both the occupation of Tylmerande and the events of Panorama of the Endtimes listed as canon. I’m hoping Dirks or Lye will allow this.

Now, a bit more information on this thread:

Plot:

The Brotherhood, in order to step up preparations for the removal of the assembly in Radasanth, have massed their forces and Whitevale and begun the march south to the barony of Tylmerande. The objective here is to capture Tymerande’s port and shipyard, on which both the Coronian Navy and merchant vessels rely for the construction, repair and maintenance of their vessels. As well as this, Tylmerande is also a key gateway for trade, being famous not only for it’s pearls but also being the second richest barony in Corone.

Player Forces:

The Brotherhood:

Swelled by the numbers left over from both Shinsou Vaan Osiris and Storm Veritas’s Gisela armies, the re-united Brotherhood intends on finally making good its promise to bring Corone to Castigar rule by marching to Tylmerande to begin its campaign for a coup. Enlisted within these forces are Shinsou Vaan Osiris, Storm Veritas and Hayate Amatsukami. Potential other allies include Zack Blaze and, depending on which side favours her the most, Felicity Rhyolite.

The opposition:

Opposing the Brotherhood is a force consisting of Philomel van der Aart, Amari L ‘Olfsden, Nevin Aimaparapoiitis, Joshua Cronen and Sei Orlouge. Felicity Rhyolite may also decide to aid the opposition.

I am going to open the thread shortly with a post that has us traveling down from Whitevale. I’d like to keep this thread as “realistic” as possible, with travelling times born in mind. Therefore, a couple of ground rules:

1. It will take one round of Brotherhood posting for their forces to reach Tylmerande from Whitevale.

2. It will take one round of posting for each “side” to react to enemy movements, unless they share the same area.

3. Anyone may defect to any side at any time. Anyone may join in the thread once it has started, but must follow the rules above

4. Posting order should be kept semi-casual – please try and keep it “Brotherhood – Opposition – Brotherhood” where possible.

That’s it! Any questions?
