Republic of Tulran: A democracy. They are highly religious kingdom, and populated by what remains of the once great elf species after the Great War. Their Lord Elector is in that position until they die or are voted out. Below him/her is the Council, who can veto laws the Lord Elector creates or dispose of him all together.
The 8 Councilman each come from one of the 8 districts of their kingdom. The capital is Ulthwe.

The Zurvian Empire: An empire of tall, dark-skinned people who have an obsession with gold and wealth. They even have a god dedicated to it, Erasmus. Their emperor is Oghenekome the 5th. They have absorbed two smaller kingdoms, the dwarf kingdom of Magne'l and the giant kingdom of Rorn.

Black Waters: A kingdom of necromancers and demon summoners. They are run by a council of Necron Supremes, who oversee their lesser brethren. Each of the 5 Necron Supremes has a castle to themselves, and are mostly autonomous. Their king, the lich Ultor, is currently resting but all know that when he awakens in another 100 years, he will reunite the 5 houses and cause chaos in the land.

Dragon's Blood: Tribes of nomadic half-dragons (or in the case of some, full-blooded) that roam the Southern half of Avalon. They are led by the giant Dragon Blood Warboss Steelcrusha.

Because a tiny little country means she can plausibly get away with walking in and executing the ruler if she feels like it without backup. Girl's looking for trouble and she doesn't want to bother with an army.

For that matter what is the difference between full dragons and dragon blood? Because if they can't breed withother species...?
>>
No. 97209 ID: 0eaeaf

>>97207
Dragon blood have some human DNA mixed into them, thanks to true dragon...mating habits. Those were the first dragon blooded, hence their name.
FULL dragons were some of the first beings on Avalon. They're different from Dragon Blood's mainly due to their gift of fire and their animus, the soul stone that allows a dragon to take any shape the wish.
>>
No. 97210 ID: 0eaeaf

Either. It's an instinctive choice within the female's DNA sequence that if she is in danger while pregnant, she will eject the egg.

If their animus survives, forever. They can recuperate from the most grievous wounds that way.
They are far from rational thought however. Dragons think of 3 things.

General-The Island of Avalon is entering about the age of exploration, if it was in a steampunk fantasy universe.
Tulranians-Tulranians were the first one to discover steam power, and the first ones to fly with artificial means. Their warbots are centered around mobility and flight, and are powered by gravity magic.

Black Water-First ones to use Daemon Bursts. They discovered Black Sugar because of their willingness to use daemonic elements. They do not yet have steam engines, but they are close.

Zurvian Empire-Uses stone golems powered by earth magic. Not much else is known.

Dragon Blood-They are very much still stone age, and so do not have any notable technologies.

{Your Kingdom}-Received steam engine technology and has reached the stage of making warbots with it, but has not yet managed to incorporate magic into the design except for controlling it.
>>
No. 97230 ID: eeb21f

Just a little clarification on warbots.
Warbots are controlled via a magical "brain" that acts as an extension of your will.
You do NOT need to be a mage in order to use a warbot.
Warbots can be big or small, and in any shape or size, as long as they are powered by a steam/magical engine.

>>
No. 97278 ID: 0eaeaf

Yes but necromancy itself, is it naturally demonic or does blackwater simply make it worse? Because if it actually is demonic then I have an issue with it, but if it's just magic manipulating dead bodies then I dont care. Also in general how does magic work? Is it learned or closer to being a psychic?

No. 97344 ID: e791d9

oh ARma's trick is straight-up lighting magic? neaaato...
So just to be sure I've got this straight-
Warbots of the Kingdom (Name suggestion: Zorara Kingdom) Come in...four varieties-
Ares pattern-which I presume to be a basic soldier model, which comes with a sword&Shield.
Hermes-light speedster, wind magic boosts for quick movement and a jousting lance.
Defender-heavily armored, with crossbows.
Magi-pattern-To my knowledge only the Special model Red Storm is this type, which skews things...
But the gist of it seems to be a heavy bot that comes with twin-war axes.
Do I have that right, more or less?
>>
No. 97346 ID: 47160d

Wait why does Nyss count as one of our heroes, from the thing with armadeus it seems that is an official position and she still works for the Tuls right. And yeah basically, we mostly have the defender right now though

1000 years ago, there was 3 kingdoms: the Empire of Ulthwe, kingdom of the elves, the Hidden Forests, dwelling place of the druids, and the kingdom of Baal, home of the humans. There was a druid of the name Babalon, who was eternally curious. One day, he ventured too far: into the realm of necromancy. He seeked too extend his already very long life into immortality, and Avalon payed the price. He entered a contract with the demon Mercutio: he would destroy his own people in order to attain power beyond imagination. The Hidden Forests fell to Babalon and his undead army, their forest magic had no effect on this defiled legion. He killed his own mother, matron of the druids, personally, but not before she cursed him, that he would be immortal, but undead as well. With that, Babalon was no more. In his place was Tartarus, the Dread Lord.

Tartarus' conquests did not end at the Hidden Forests. Next, he decimated all of the Empire's colonies, with strike raids of demons and undead working together. In retaliation, the Empire sent out one of the largest armies ever to tread Avalon: the Maker's Legion, a combination of elves, humans, and the druids that escaped the Hidden Forests massacre. Several large battles occured: the Battle for Red Hill, the Siege of Mortarius, the Dead Raids. It all culminated ina final battle over the Rosario Supreme, the large crystal that kept elven magic working, hidden deep in Avalon's core. Many died, and although it seemed all was lost as Tartarus' champion, Rengrave, was on the final charge for the Rosario, a hero appeared. He had the wings of an angel, and was wearing golden Maker-blessed armor. He defeated Rengrave with one strike and almost single-handedly beat back the undead forces. This hero had the first providence, and he became known as Magnus, the Golden Avenger. He lead the Maker's Legion all the way back to Dead Falls, location of Tartarus' fortress. In the final duel between the champion of light and darkness, Magnus was lost, but not before he sent Tartarus into a 1,000 year sleep, ending the war. To this day, his armor has been lost and his sword Lightbringer presume destroyed. Some believe however, that when Tartarus reawakens Magnus will return once more in a new form, to beat back Blackwater and it's unending plague of demons and undead.

The Seraphim has relatively few actual offensive weapons. It is meant as a support piece for the easier-to-manufacture Grotesques, making up for the lack of speed with entangling tentacles and their fragility with it's soul shield. It's weaponry includes:
-An artillery like Soul Lance, that can either fire a large AOE attack or a high damage piercing attack
-Tentacles that can ensnare or bind enemies, and harvest energy from living enemies
-A Soul Shield that can push back enemies
-A Necro-Factory that picks up bodies and turns them into Thralls
In case speed is needed far more than defense, the Seraphim can "shed" it's shell to transform into two faster Wraiths, each of whom has the ability to turn invisible and intangible. The Wraiths weaponry includes:
-A Daemon Cannon, a weapon like that on the gun-carriage
-Reaper Claws, claws that can harvest energy from living targets for a large speed boost

Hunh, I guess we kind of played this right, disabling the Grotto so that it couldn't fight effectively...

That makes me wonder about figuring out some fun stuff our warbots can do.
Or maybe our thing is that we've the supplies and engineering to make nice solid warbots that have the advantage in terms of power and reliability (That other golem got disabled, not destroyed-but it otherwise I think had more HP than the Yeager.)

You now have the opportunity to go on guerrilla missions with your heroes. Every once in a while, guerrilla strike opportunities will appear. Each one will give you a reward, but only if you do not trigger the fail condition and accomplish the objective. Since it is a strike mission, you are only allowed a certain amount of heroes per mission. The heroes can take any equipment available to them, as long as it makes sense. So no Yaegers.

Quick request, after this mission could we have a bit of peace?

This feels more like a discussion question so I'll ask here:
What are Animus/what can they do/why are the Dragon's Blood the only ones who seem to use them?

>>98089
Dragons are, quite literally, at their core animus. New dragons are born one of two ways: by a rare byproduct of a breeding between two dragons, or by the animus of a dragon partially breaking off, forming a new animus shard. The Dragon's Blood have it programmed in their DNA somehow the ability to control animi. There are some who even say that Dragon Blood's are dragons without animi, and that is why they have human shape. Animis are what let a dragon recover from their most grievous wounds. A dragon forms the shell around its animus from the elements around it, before building the flesh around that shell. What Blackwater seeks to do is create twisted versions of dragons, mutated forms around a tiny shard of animus, completely obedient to them.

he Angelions are the result of the experiments of Grievous. Each contains a splinter of the animus of a dragon, and therefore can regenerate and use fire. There are 6 main types of Angelion.
>The Trooper. Basic model, uses a sword and goes beserk when injured.
>The Shieldbearer. Heavily armored, the Shieldbearer will often take damage for other Angelions. Best killed with piercing weapons.
>The Bloodseer. The Bloodseer uses blood magic to empower other Angelions, making them extremely resistant to damage and unable to feel pain. However, they themselves are very fragile and are often accompanied by a Shieldbearer.
>The Archer. Armed with a ballistae, the Archer will often fly up out of range of conventional weapons before firing. Recommended to ground them before they take off.
>The Infiltrator. The most sneaky, the Infiltrator is actually a parasite that enters the bloodstream of a humanoid unknowingly. Shortly afterwards, they will reach the brain and take control. When the time is right, they will mutate their host body into their true form.
>The Alpha. Possibly the most deadly, the Alpha can mutate into any of the previously mentioned Angelion forms at will. The Alpha most likely contains the core of the dragon, the original animus the others were split from. Very dangerous, when they bleed new Angelion Troopers are born.
>>
No. 98117 ID: 8013df

Fafnir has the ability to splinter into Angelions. When fractured, Fafnir goes into his Alpha form, and currently can create up to 25 different Angelions. Before a battle, you can choose how many and which Angelions are created. Unfortunately, Fafnir is still experimenting with his ability and can only create troopers. Later on, he will be able to form many different kinds, and you guys can suggest new forms if they make sense.

Just so you guys know, a some of the heroes earned providences outside of your view. For example.
-Windvale got Eye of the Druids, which allows her to diagnose a patient with a glance, from the aftermath of the battle where you learned from Blackwater.
-Alina got Maelstrom, which allows her to take shots with her secondary weapon at every enemy in sight range.

Oh cool. I'd been thinking we'd kind of been neglecting for Alina, actually. Nice that she got something!

Siege battles work in two phases: the Defense Phase and the Counter Phase

In the Defense Phase, you have to add the collective defense stats of all your troops, which is something like this:
>+10 for each Ares
>+20 for each Defender
>+5 for each Ravan
>+5 for each Errant
>+10 for each Dormon
>+20 for each Breaker
>+40 for each Yaeger/Sphinx
>+50 for wall

You'd then have to subtract the foes attack stats
>+20 for each Boneripper
>+10 for each Angelion Trooper
>+30 for each Angelion Archer
>+50 for each Angelion Alpha
>+70 for each Grotesque

The result will be the number of casualties/wall damage. If the enemy's attack is greater, than then you will take the excess attack to your wall, which has 100 health. If your walls break down, the battle shifts to normal mode.

If your defense exceeds the attack, they take that many casualties, starting from the troopers, then to archers, then to bonerippers, then to Alpha, and then to Grotesques, which each have 40 health. If you kill all enemy forces, you win.

In addition, in the Defense phase you roll for the success of the counte attack chosen in your counter phase.

In the counter-phase, you select one of the counter-attacks left up to you. You can also choose to transfer forces from between the military and the walls, although personal allocation cannot be changed.

Because I'm realizing I never explained how he got transferred from the tin armor to his new one, they transcribed the runes binding him to the armor to the new one and melted down the tin one, temporarily freeing him before he animated the new one.
tl;dr, they took a huge risk trying to transfer him and he could have been trapped in the burning armor for all they knew.
