Thats pretty credible politics in that storyline - great job on it! If you're desparately looking for stuff to add to the peace with the Medsa remnant, then it could've been things like defeating one splinter-group to gain alliance with another, that general sort of thing. It doesn't come too suddenly, though - its a good timeset, really. One thing I'd like to know is what would Luca do to the more violent Pasori tribes that would still support general pillaging of the Medsa while they're down?
Also, is there a map anywhere? Mainly 'cause I'm a fantasy nerd and like maps x3
Thank you! Thats a good idea, I was thinking of doing something like that... existence of Pasori tribes is really fluid though, so it requires some diagramming and other boring stuff like that...
Luca has no problem with making examples of the tribes that don't follow his orders, which is why there are only four other major ones left (at times there have been more than 30). I guess it helps when you have a giant demon tiger on your side?
Theres no map! Yet! I think I will make one though since it seems like it would help clarify a lot of things X3
That is super, super cool. I don't have any helpful remarks, I just majorly dig reading the crazy history stuff. I love fictive histories so bad, and this one is fun.
Lovely commissions as always (the guy has a very piercing gaze, to go all bad-romance-novel on you). And I love that flag - simple but nicely punchy. And it actually has a story/meaning behind it.
Hah, the Pasori sound so pessimistic and isolationist (not unlike a certain person, I guess). The history is definitely interesting (if nasty) and very complicated, which probably makes it much more realistic. Quick questions - why did the Caris surrender in the end? And why do the other tribes hate them so much? Is it something of a 'we will unite in hatred of a scapegoat, yeah!' attitude? (Lolz, I find it strangely amusing that a character I dislike for being a warmonger is actually much more liberal than the rest of his peeps)
Thanks, thats exactly how I want them to be XD My own little band of misanthropic savages, haha. Quick answers- the last king was pretty eccentric and support for the war is really low at the end. There was basically no way for them to win so when the king kicked the bucket they jumped at the chance to negotiate an ending (basically surrender with benefits) before being completely conquered.
Here's a small idea of the hate dynamic: Caris> Caris-born Pasori> Southern Santri> Northern Santri> Your enemy tribes> Your friend tribes (secretly)> Your tribemates They're a great bunch XD Luca's dad got assassinated by another tribe (which Luca was obligated to destroy later) because of his unpopular idea of uniting all the tribes (ostensibly because he wanted to unite them under the Gulo flag). They're just really xenophobic I guess.
Nah, he looks pretty flat-chested to me, poor guy.
Haha, but it's really neat to hear all this stuff! Even though it sounds like a pretty bad situation for most of the people populating your world you sadist. But it makes a certain kind of sense - the further away person X is from, the less they are like you and THAT'S BAD, kinda thing. Another 'quick' question... out of curiosity, what kind of technology level do the Pasori have? You mentioned trading and suchlike, but they also sound really insular and broken into comparatively small groups.
LOL you're supposed to supply the heaving bosoms, my dear
Technology-wise the Pasori are retarded. They are traditionally only supposed to rely on tools they make themselves, which means trading between tribes that know how to make different things and such. Tribes closer to the border try to get their hands on firearms whenever possible (cuz guns are awesome)... otherwise they eschew Santri technologies, which is good cuz the Santri like it better that way as well.
D: You pointed out my major problem at the moment, with the women thing... yeah I want to keep them matriarchal? but I also need tension in there. I dunno, maybe its as simple as there has always been a male leader and now the chain is broken? I have to think on that more!
Yes, I was thinking about natural resources as well. Certainly metals and such are going to be important but I need to research more to find out what I'm allowed to use X3
