Dawn of the Republic: The First Kingdom

[Braden]

Most of it is there but if you have any questions then just send me a PM.

 

[Topher Ridge]

Go also to give a little more flavor, Braden has given me the go ahead to do a rough draft of some of the gods The First Kingdom worships so stay tuned for that in the next few days.

 

[Braden]

I am planning to write up the outline for so e missions so people know what we are doing, My character back story, a potential map of Troska, some gods of my own and a ship write up for The First Kingdom. All this weekend so keep a look out.

 

[TallestTree]

Woo! Looks like things are starting to pick up some speed!

Woo! Looks like things are starting to pick up some speed!

Yea I have had a busy time the last few weeks but should hopefully get some proper writing time soon and with some more detail under our belt we can get the recuitment drive going.

I hope my character mixes well with this faction whenever I decide to have them meet. I mean what group of barbaric warrior's wouldn't want a 6'6 290lbs hog man as an ally?

 

[Topher Ridge]

You should man. Hell I kinda want my character to be the one who meets him, figured to bulky guys who rely on their strength and are laid back should mesh well together.

 

[TallestTree]

Mine should prove a worthy opponent. My character is not going to be so light hearted as Topher's.

 

[Topher Ridge]

Yeah another reason I'm looking forward to this faction. You can easily play a character of any of the 9 classic alignments and it still works.

 

[Vepos Surge]

Yup, don't need to be one specific alignment to mesh well with everybody else in the faction. Like the cliche evil Sith.

Hey potential Troskans! Here's a fresh new write up for one of the gods of Troska.

Spoiler: Solnara

.
The God Solarna



Domain: Solarna(soul-r-na) is the god of the Sun and Stars


Origin/History: Worship of the sun has existed on Troska almost from the beginning of time. Troskans realized very early that the sun was vital to their survival as a people. It was what helped their crops grow, what brought them warmth during the harsh Troska winters, and what helped them see many of the natural threats around them. Thus the Troskans began to greatly revere the sun. It wasn’t until later that many holymen began to take closer looks into the sky using more advanced telescopes. Realizing that the many stars in the sky were simply other suns.


It was upon this discovery that many claimed that the many suns in the sky couldn’t simply be a coincidence and that they must have a divine meaning. It was around this time that many begain to offer prayers and gifts to a yet un named entity that must control the rising and falling of the sun and the movement of the stars. It was a small but growing village that named this force as Solarna. This name quickly spread through many communities..including one area that would eventually come to be the seat of The First Kingdom.


Worship of Solarna remained important to most of Troska. Eventually garnering many names, though still serving the same purpose. Even to a point where Solarna became god of the sky as well believing that any where the sun fell was Solarna’s domain.


Purpose: Most Troskans beleive Solarna is responsible for the rise and fall of the sun and the movement of the stars. They beleive him to be high in the pantheon of the gods, not above the god of time, but more than likely his sibling. Now as space travel has become available to Troskans many offer Solarna prays before departing believing that he also controls their fortunes while offworld.


Offerings: Typical offerings to Solarna are made up burning an avian creature in a small dias. These offerings were meant represent Solarna’s place as lord of the sky. The burning is beleived to be only way to cummune with Solarna as the being can only consume fire(it’s believed that a star disappearing from the night sky is Solarna feeding)


Alternative offering could include firing burning arrows into the sky, or floating food up on small balloons that would be set to burn at a certain height.


These offerings were meant to appease Solarna so that the Troskan sun would not be eaten. In current times when offerings are made they are usually meant to insure a safe journey through space as the sky is Solarna’s domain.

I looked on the map and figured out where the planet Troska would be located (as they don't currently have it placed on the territory map) and figured out its in square J6. So, once you guys consolidate your power on the home planet it seems that will be the square you'll be looking to take for your faction. Hope you guys are one of the lucky factions with enough influence to own your own square on the grid, and hopefully I'll be able to help out whenever I'm not busy doing Sith stuff.

 

[Topher Ridge]

Yeah gonna be fun. I mostly want my character to focus on the overall conquest of Troska. Though looking we can have some good threads if attempting to take the other 4 major planets in that grid.

 

[Braden]

Basic mission plans uploaded as well as some tech points also updated on the main page.

 

[Topher Ridge]

Looks good Braden! Can't wait to get in there and make some conquests!
