Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

Okay, folks. Deadline is tomorrow, midnight, Central time (U.S.).

For the last (roughly) 30 hours, you need only wait for one other person to contribute. That's right, for the home stretch, you can contribute after only a single additional contribution has appeared after your previous entry.

Make these last hours count.

Yikes, that'll be some fast posting. Wonder if this will have a John Adams Midnight Judges effect?

Well, I've gotten to know you all well enough by this point that I trust nobody will abuse the process. Besides, I certainly reserve the right to change the rule again, and even to omit submissions, if it looks like things are getting weird, or are being weighted too heavily toward one person's vision.

So, what happens to all of this once the deadline comes??

Well, I currently have no plans to have moderators close the thread. Although I've established the Yahoo group of volunteer writers and artists (and BTW, guys, we could use a few more of you), I'd like to keep this thread open for discussion among the wider group of original contributors.

However, no actual contributions that appear in this thread on or after 12:01 am the 12th will count for the development of the actual PDF.

Yeah, I looked back on how much I had been contributing (which used to be exactly when the minimum post limit was reached, a large number of times) and decided to back off for a while and let other people expand the world. I may take part in the deadline posting, especially if it becomes a frenzy of randomness. Those are fun.

This was the info I was looking for really, I was not aware it was going to be a PDF at some point in the future.

I assume that the one contribution in between rule is now in force.

Kartekh the Cruel is the current war leader of the hobgoblin tribes of Kwlloch. In many matters he is as powerful as the three chieftains of the tribes who watch their ambitious general closely. The Blues who act as shamans for the tribe support him though as he got the best results in raids for a long time.

Eight years ago, he captured several legion officers in a raid and turned them over to the Nyalak, who extracted important knowledge from their minds.
The Blue Czerakh is his most trusted advisor is wearing the skins and extracts knowledge about military tactics, logistics and army structure.
Kartekh´s plan now is to restructure his hobgoblins into a disciplined army like the Eyrosian legions. His problem is the fact that Kwlloch is more a confederacy of tribes and not an empire able to support a standing army. He is arguing his case of transforming the tribes of Kwlloch constanly in the tribal councils and with his three chieftains. His critics in the council say that building roads and settling the tribes will result in a full scale eyrian invasion. They say that the tribes will lose their advantage of evading invading troops and conduct hit and run tactics.

A strong and glib half-orc senator, Jorinius Astarinus dal-Vajar ty-Mulcibe, has been pushing in recent senate meetings for the Grand Monarch to make open war on the tribes of Kwlloch and end their threat once and for all. Jorinius has garnered the backing of a third of the senate so far, but many of the oldest senators don't think it wise, while a few of the younger senators don't believe the current Grand Monarch could handle the war effectively. Jorinius will not be denied, and continues to push for this goal, vehement in his desire to destroy the goblinoid hordes. The rumor mill says that he has some personal stake in this, and that he seeks revenge to such an extent that he would see Kwlloch destroyed.
