Mostly Arcane, I'd think. They strike me as a very (socially) advanced civilization, a high-culture in ruins but still remembering their past with pride. They have strong ties to their land (like most elves) but are not really "down to earth" enough to be very druidic. Both Melkor and you are...

So, we have been noticed by the powers that be... :D It's an honour. Ahh, how tragic... What will he do to fill the void, I wonder? ;)

There are just so many factors... but I'll try to give you some examples. An army can walk, trough friendly territory, from Lynn to Aerdy in six months. An army can ride the same distance in four months and a courier with fresh horses in one month. An army can walk trough the Flannaes, trough...

Melkor's claim has been granted. I don't know. I believe that none of the actual States of the Flannaes are that old, and the map certainly looked a lot different. Maybe William could answer that question better? All Elite and Epic PLs benefit directly from having access to magic, even for...

No and no :o . The background-post is not yet up for the IR. I will post it in the very beginning of the game. The post that you referr to is just an early version of a part of the prologue. I have something much better, and less rambling, in mind.

Your faction would be different, but yes I believe it would be viable. Your geographic (or should I say cosmological) position is such that your home provinces are only really vulnerable to attack from Elite and Epic PLs, which will be relatively rare in the beginning. Against such an attacker...

The formula is correct. The negative modifiers in the quote affect Elite and Epic PLs. Nearly all Elite and Epic PLs rely on magic in one form or another for their effectiveness, whereas regular PLs use of magic is a lot less significant. That's the rationale for the rule. Neither the bonuses...

Carpet bomb... If you get enough semi-modern explosives by researching Tech, yes. Gunpowder isn't teally potent enough for any significant carpet bombing comparable to the bombings of ww2. You proabably wouldn't have a very big army at the beginning, enough for raiding and outflanking the...

Yes please.

There are no special rules. Your faction would mostly be considered Elite PLs and as such have complete strategic mobility. You might have a small head-start in technology to reflect the complexity of your crafts. Alignment depends on what spelljamming race you want to play (scro, gith, elves...

Edena, William, Great posts. Thanks :) I did, it's all in Infiltration. Thanks, that seems like a very good idea. :) Hepmonaland is a continent, not a peninsula, and parts of its coasts are owned by the Scarlet Brotherhood. I thought you were referring to a very different peninsula on the...

It's that simple, almost. It's also possible to gain spells from worshiping an ideal, but the energy is still derived from the depths of the outer planes where the ideals exist in their pure form. Faith has power, and that power can sometines find it's focus even on the lest expected of...

Welcome Nac Mac Feegle! There's still a lot of room open. (I hope nobody had to break your knees ;)) Hi Melkor, welcome! :D Great to see you again. Edena made a post about the Solistarim a few pages ago. The underdark under the Flannaes only has two factions so far so there's plenty of room...

Hey, Edena. Take it easy, I'm the one who's supposed to be exhausted. We don't want any burned out players either. ;)

The Rules of the 5th IR Above all else the IR is a game about power. Power is, after all, the ability to affect the world around you. There are many different expressions of power. A brilliant speech or diplomatic negotiation can in the right circumstances guarantee your victory. Propaganda...

You are all alone. The great empires of Oerth are cut off from the Multiverse, destined to struggle amongst each others for survival and dominance. Led by you, the greatest and wisest minds on the planet, they must fight a battle of titanic odds armed with new and terrible weapons of magic and...

The map is a very useful tool. But no, it won't influence the game mechanics, though it will make the game easier for everyone. Just because something's not on the map doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There will be lists for all that. I may be on fire, but I'm not burning out. :lol: I really...
