(4th IR) What does your character write?

[Creamsteak]

Edena, you have Halruaa as a sponsor to my character, and you also have them set as an unsponsored territory.

In actuallity, Dambrath should probably replace Halruaa as my ally, as it fits more accurately with the writer that I am.

TO VENUS

Hey there, Venus! Welcome to the 4th IR (!! )

I say to you, as I said to the others: your character is a publisher. He or she can write whatever he or she wants, and it will be distributed Faerun-wide.
But I'd get a Sponsor, if I were you. They are starting to go ballistic, some of the authorities in Faerun. They do not like all this forbidden knowledge being published for all eyes to read.

Based on your article supporting technology:

The Church of Gond the Wonderbringer (PL 3) offers to sponsor you.
Lantan (PL 3) offers to sponsor you.
Nimbral (PL 5) offers to sponsor you.
Amn (PL 4), Tethyr (PL 3), the Knights of the Shield (PL 3), and Calimshan (PL 10), Baldur's Gate (PL 4), Chessenta (PL 3 due to little cohesion amongst it's peoples), the Vilhon Reach (PL 3 due to little cohesion amongst it's people), Sembia (PL 7), Cormyr (PL 4), the Dalelands (PL 3), the Great Dale (PL 2 due to dissention amongst it's peoples), and Thesk (PL 4) are all making offers of sponsorship.
The Dwarves of the Great Rift (PL 7) offer their support.
Luruar (PL 3) offers it's support.

The Gnomes of Faerun (PL 5, spread across the continent) are offering their support.
Luiren (PL 5) is offering it's support.

Glad I'm in it =] Wouldn't want to miss it for the world.

Raynar Smartface is the writer of the book, and he gladly accepts the offer of:

Baldur's Gate
Calimshan
and The Dwarves of the Great Rift

 

[The Forsaken One]

Edena... just a little question. I was planning on playing a already existing NPC in the realms as a PC...

But I think I'll just mail you about that.

FORGOTTEN ONE (Character is unknown)

/me breaks down crying. Why o' why do people always do that wrong.

TO VENUS

Unfortunately, Serpenteye just (just!) beat you to Calimshan and Baldur's Gate (although Baldur's Gate is going to defect to you now.)
The Dwarves of the Great Rift are sponsoring Bugbear.

However, all the cities of the Moonsea (Zhentil Keep, Hillsfar, Mulmaster), the Great Dale, the Dalelands, Cormyr, the Lord's Alliance, and Damara would be interested in sponsoring you still.

You may claim the Dwarves of Zakhara, if you would like (PL 7.)
You may also claim the Gnomes of Zakhara (PL 5), and the Kobolds of Zakhara (PL 5)

 

[Serpenteye]

Calimshan, the Vilhon Reach, Chessenta, Unther, Thesk, Murghom, Dambrath, Luirien, Ulgarth, Sembia, Hillsfar, Zhentil Keep, Westgate, Baldur's Gate, Skullport, the Dalelands, Impiltur, the Great Dale, Damara, Vaasa, the Silver Marches, and even the Free Peoples of the Moonshaes. The Ffolk of the Moonshaes.

These still seem to be unclaimed. If I drop Hillsfar and Zhentil Keep the rest of them should be able to work together in a loose confederacy.

edit: and now Venus takes a big bite out of that. Venus, would you be interested in an alliance? Our goals seem similar enough.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Edena a little note to that mail.... Daurgothoth isn't a Domain of Hope NPC.... he really is a FR NPC at the time of 2e edition and still is in 3e.... he's just badass and he's like the king of his kind.

So I'm accepting the offer you mailed

Tonight Faerun shall see the rise of another great horror! Muhahahahaha!!!!

 

[Creamsteak]

My final move before I go off for my game tonight is to send a letter to Alarah Gomenei,

Greetings and Salutations, good sir. It is to my understanding that you have a thourough understanding of economics and organization, as well as trade and diplomacy. These elements, though I understand them quite well, are not my specialization. If you would please, greet me with your presence at my next writing convention, I would love to have you with us. You seem to have traits admirable, and mayhaps a co-authored book on our combined knowledge would be very applicable to all the countries in the region.

Sincerely,
Gustav

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Hmmm ... I have completed the list above, based on the knowledge up to this posting.

The Dambrath - Calimshan alliance is unprecendented (but then, so is the Evermeet - Thay alliance) and everyone is getting rather quite nervous.

I realize the current claims are going to make some folk unhappy - you may trade countries (subject to approval - Dambrath and Halruaa will never ally!) if you would like.

Serpenteyes, I think you need to get 'sponsored', we are not claiming powers. We don't make the decision, they make the decision to support us. This was a very very clever and interesting concept Edena put forth...

I love it.

Oh, and Edena, don't you think it would make more sense for my PC to be sponsored by Dambrath than Halruaa? Or would Halruaa really put a strategist at the fore-front of their best seller list. It's hard to really tell. My voice is more of a Lawful Good, and it's hard to see the direction that Halruaa and Dambrath are taking against each other. Opinion?

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Sembia is uncomfortable sponsoring someone being sponsored by Calimshan and Dambrath, and is refusing to sponsor you, Serpenteye.
