Ok,so,the Shiranai plot is coming to a close, which leaves room for...

You guessed it, another plot! Anyways, I just had two humble ideas that I thought I would suggest. Because, you know, sharing is caring, right? And one would never ask what the site they belong to can do for them, but what they can do for the site they belong to. Am I right? Of course I am.

Anywho, without further ado...

Plotline 1:

Magic users are suddenly loosing their ability to use magic. From the most powerful to even the humblest of practitioners, the ability to use magic is fading away. No one knows why, the cause, or how to stop it.

This plotline can be problematic in that it centers around magic users, and not everyone on the site is magically inclined, thus it would be limiting.

Plotline 2:

A plague as broken out across the lands. People are getting sick and dying...by the hundreds and in some places by the thousands. Again the source is unknown and its something that appears resistant to potions and magical healing. If left unchecked the plague will wipe out life as we know it, but we don't know why or the cause.

Fun, right? Still could be a little limiting. I can't really think of a source for this, but, just throwing it out there.

Thoughts, questions, suggestions?

Well, there have been a few ideas tossed around; one of them being to look at lands beyond Karash and the northern realm. Of course...I have my own idea...

The Return of the Vampire Empire.

Figured a few hundred years and with the Shiranai trying to take out Carthan and Kalimshere, this would be the perfect time for the vampires to rise again and take over lands completely decimated by the Shiranai...for a start. Pretty much Vlad's Revenge, I think.

Doesn't it sound cool? And this would include everyone.

I thought instead of going through the motions of adding in new people, new alliances and new things we go back to what we know and love - Council and Legacy. They rule, well known fact.

I am biased. Meh, meh, meh!

Basically, how about an insurrection in one of the two factions. I was thinking Legacy because the Legacy has stood as an independent rebel faction before but I guess you could switch it around. Basically, alot of people have died against the Shiranai and there are alot of angry people - people who have lost sons and daughters, fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters. There are people angry at the factions meant to lead them and they want a new rule because they feel the old rulers have failed them.

It would bring things back down, giving the admins alittle less to organise. It would also make members have to rethink their position, and whether they will stay with the old or the new.

Just a thought, really...

Ooo, Musette, that idea sounds cool. Very interesting ^^, since its dealing with the aftermath of everything. Hmmm...

Vampires are cool too, of course.

Well that's the thing though. I have word from the admins that they are going to a 10-yr jump after all is said and down with the Shiranai War. And things are going to be changing all around as far as the Legacy's place is concerned. Admin's got more details than I at this point. :)

Ten year jump tis true, tis true. All of you have been spoken to by either Katie or myself and the general (albeit not complete) consensus is optimistic for the change, a new beginning as it were. These all sound like fantastic possible plots, several new directions for people to go in, etc. etc. etc. lol There has been no finite things set down over who what when where and why for after the jump but the things that have been spitballed are thus:

The Legacy (now know as simply, "The Guild") has become the specialized military force in Carthan. Recruits will be taken and after training raised to the general run of the mill soldier. Soliders (likely still entitled "gaidin" though we haven't decided) who wish to specialize will then become part of the guild, joining one of the four Orders that we all know and love (Ranks from Elite to Captain). The Guild will be led by its four Captains until such a point as a new Commander is appointed (because for those of you that do not know, I'm going to let Kinara find her peace, she's been fighting the good fight for a very long time and its time to let her go. Sad, I know.) The Guild swears allegiance to Queen and Country and is answerable only to their superiors within the Guild and the Queen. (Make for some tension in the city perhaps?? Not that any Guild member would ever over step their boundries, no! never that! heh. *waggles eyebrows*) Aaaaand, there's likely more there that I just haven't explored yet, any comments, suggestions or concerns are always appreciated! ^_^

So far as the Council goes (and mind you I know faaaaaar less about this than Katie would, so bear with me if I err, she'll be along to correct me I'm sure) Alexis will become the new So'jihn after Shyla. The Council will still run the Kalimsheri Magic School and be an enormous force in and of itself because of its specialized mages. The Council themselves, though on Carthan soil, are a separate entity from the country as a whole, as they have always been. Needless to say, this is an infinite sore point for the Queen as noted by Alliandre and Alexis' interactions already in their thread. This is the most I know about the Council and its workings at the moment, as I said, Katie will debrief everyone with her grand and illustrious visions I'm sure.

So far as the rest of the world goes, yes! we WOULD like to expand into the other countries, bringing players from Terra, Karash, Kostroma and all the rest into play. The difficulty with this being obviously the sheer number it would take to fill out those countries enough to make storylines completely within them. Since that may not happen for sometime, we are thinking about exploration of the 'unknown lands' that are beyond the edges of the map as well as parties exploring in the known but often untouched countries such as Karash. The rest of the lines from there are fuzzy, as I said we'd need numerous new characters and preferably not all multiples from our beloved current members (though they're always fun, sometimes there just isn't enough time to do them all justice). ANYWAY! Thats what I have to add thus far... more to come I am sure! ^_^

You are sure and here I am. It is so gratifying to see everyone being active in this new plot. Last time it was kind of a huge load for me and Eve to come up with something that could last. But we have been plotting and the 10years jump is going to happen.

As for the Council...

Well I've always invisioned to Council to be separate from the Queen and the State. I still feel that they're really interested in running Carthan on their own and though they understand that they aren't in direct power, they allow others to think they are. In other words, the So'jihn still wants the Queen's job. *chuckles* As for the So'jihn, who will still be played by me, I am regretfully going to let Shyla parish. She is by far my strongest character but I have such love for this site that I thought it time to sacrifice for it. Shyla will parish in the final Shiranai battle in Kalimshere but she will have appointed Alexis to take over command. I felt bad about this choice, simply because so many of your characters are tied to her, but I think its time she was laid to rest, there's only so much bad that I can inflict on one character and she's taken alot. So she will exit in a heap of glory and Alexis, trained by her and much like her will lead out grand Council into the future.

New plot line...

Here's the deal. I would like to start several things off at once, that way there isn't a good vs evil or boring what have yous, theres just plot and tons for everyone to do. I have read the above suggestions and giggle with anticipation because they were things that I was thinking about as well. I would like to see the Vampire nation, lead by Vlad, try and take over the known world once again. I was toying with this idea for awhile and think that it could be a solid move. But I also love the idea of a plauge. But I was planning on this plauge killing non mages and stiffling magical power in mages, who with the loss of their power eventually go mad trying to get them back, or die. So there's some tension there. But because of the plauge, Kalimshere send people out to find the cure or the cause or both. We send people out into exploration, another plot line Eve and I were thinking of starting, so basically we have it all in one. And of course once people start exploring they will run into the Vampires and etc... I'm hoping to set up another plot with the exploration as well. For months now I've been trying to decide why it is that there is so much 'unknow' territory on the map and I would like to address this as being because the world we are playing in now is like a new birth from the old which was the dark ages for humans and the golden age of vampires.

I was thinking that like in Terra there are huge, now lost, or mostly lost statues in every captial in the WHOLE work, known and unknown and that long ago their power was all channeled together and it "broke the world" creating chaos and destruction and the dark age. Obviously none of us know this now, but the source of the plauge are these statues and they are leaking the destruction magic that was unintentally unleashed onto the world. It was an accident those that released it didn't know what kind of power they were dealing with and neither will we know, once we find out, but I thought it would create some controversy between groups who want to unleash the power again and those that want to contain it. But that will all come about later on in the story.

So those are my thoughts, for what they are worth, I will be creating several new characters, because I don't seem to have enough to do. *chuckles* I always keep MINE active *looks pointedly at Eve*

Katie/Shyla Out.
