Void Rift: Reference Thread

A bit late, but it seems Terrae has found the ruins of Emeraldonia.

RIP tech heaven. Barbarians got to you while your units were fighting off your enemies.

 

You mean scale of not doing things? Probably because I've got mock exams in about a week, my activity has fallen a bit. Then again, Void Rift is almost all my time not doing revision. Maybe some of the time I should be too.
Speaking of which, I may be very inactive next week and the week after, but it depends on how busy they make me.

 

I mean that as in he's probably the most active by a decent margin

 

Ah, okay.
In that case, we'll imagine maybe Possumness as least active right now. He would be about 4 on a scale of activeness (because when he is on, he's active).
Then we would have me. I would be about 5 or 6.
Then there would be Thirteen at 7.
Rawb would be at 8.
Then you would be 10.
And Aj would be off the scale.

 

Pretty much

 

I find it odd how everyone in the scale joined before me, yet I'm at 8.

 

It depends on how active you are. I that, until more recently maybe, you've been more active than Thirteen. Then I've been increasingly inactive (today is actually a good example of that). Then Possumness went inactive for a while.
Of course, Aj beats everyone and Exvhius created the rp, so if he weren't active, everyone else would be less active.

 

That's true.

Of course there's always the duels or standoff so that FH gets into with on of Aj's characters.

 

Right now, I'm just less active because I have nothing to say, honestly.

 

Probably because some of us have more characters (I mean, for someone with one character, you are pretty active).

 

Don't you just love it when threads you watch stop giving alerts? I do. Not.

VOID RIFT IS LIFE.

Like, I seriously don't have much else to do. It's fun RPing, anyway.

 

No kidding.

 

the rp is almost half of the Forum Games section

rip

 

Reading through void rift again, because I'm bored.

Facepalming at my derpy writing.

Sigh.

Oh and yeah. Should have told you this when Reflet died.

Reflet's death means Brisingr starts splitting into a thousand pieces and sinking into the earth's mantle,

 

I thought that was already mentioned.
At least it cleans up the mess that was there.

 

Might have been. I don't remember every scenario I typed out though.

Rip millions of people

 

Well, Aurorius got it's revenge.

...

...And died.

Timeline for Perniciosa.

10 BP - Dominus Terrae arrives and begins to assert himself.

9 BP - A coalition is formed between the kingdoms of what is now known as The Wasteland and Dominus Terrae hires several thousand Orc Mercenaries. This eventually leads to starting The War of Empires.

8 BP - Dominus Terrae obliterates one of the leading kingdoms, forming a massive sinkhole where its capital resided. This sinkhole will later be the foundations for Inner Perniciosa.

4 BP - The War of Empires comes to a close with the defeat of one of the last fighting kingdoms, the Kingdom of Lipol. The rest of the year is spent negotiating peace with the now ruined kingdoms.

3 BP - Dominus Terrae continues to assert himself over dissident kingdoms.

1 BP - The foundations for what would be later known as The Kingdom of Perniciosa is laid down.

1 AP - The Kingdom of Perniciosa is formally established, with Dominus Terrae as its ruler for life. Dominus Terrae also begins to cut apart the land to form provinces.

2 AP - Inner Perniciosa is designated as the capital. The secret of airships are brought to light by Dominus Terrae.

3 AP - A massive famine breaks out, causing mass poverty and starvation. General order begins to break down. Several of the remaining kingdoms declare war on Perniciosia at the height of the famine, starting The Second War of Empires. This time is known as the dark age of Perniciosa.

13 AP - The War is won by Perniciosa after completely obliterating the belligerent kingdoms.

15 AP -The Great Famine ends thanks to increased trade and development of the province of Sanctuarium. This leads to the end of the dark age of Perniciosa.

16 AP -Immigrants and survivors flock from the destroyed kingdoms to Perniciosa, creating a massive boost in manpower. This in turn, leads to a growing economy.

20 AP - Several airships go missing, and Dominus Terrae leaves unexpectedly, leaving his second in command as ruler of Perniciosa for the time being.

Also, here's the info on Perniciosa.

Spoiler: Inner Perniciosa (With labels+Extra Info)

Spoiler: Maximus Forum I, II, III

These are the Grand markets, AKA the largest and most prosperous markets in both Inner Perniciosa and Outer Perniciosa. Due to the immense influx of trade, merchants, etc that it receives, trade is strictly regulated, and in every street there are at least two patrols to make sure there are no shady businesses going on.

The First Grand Market (Maximus Forum I)
This market is the largest. It contains the only entrance and exit through the Wall of Verum. Because of this, it has the highest amount of profitability rate as it is the first place people visit. Markets here usually contain rare and quality goods that sell for modest prices. The most common commodities sold here are metal works. However, markets here also sell ore, stones, artifacts, relics, weapons, armor, etc. Rent for market stalls here is immense, which means that only the rich, or those who have climbed up the ranks can even hope to set up shop here.

The Second Grand Market (Maximus Forum II)
This market is the smallest. It has a high profitability rate compared to other commercial zones, but in comparison to the other Grand Markets, it has a considerably lower rate. This market is usually called "The Peasant's Market" as the rent for market stalls is considerably lower than its counterparts. The most common commodities sold here are food. However, markets here also sell wood, wood works, building materials, etc.

The Third Grand Market (Maximus Forum III)
This market is often called "The Rare Market" As the items found here are usually very rare finds. These include magical items, artifacts, relics, special woods and stones, and sometimes even airships, though these are more than rare. This market also by far has the toughest security due to the amount of high-value items being traded here. Other than that, this market is actually pretty normal.

Spoiler: Wall of Verum

The Wall of Verum is the massive wall that surrounds Inner Perniciosa. It is said that this was the first thing that Dominus Terrae created in his kingdom. It stands imposingly high, and is almost as tall as the tallest tower in the citadel. It's walls are so thick, that it would take thirty minutes to traverse one side to the other in walking speed. Although it looks like it is made of normal stone bricks, it was actually created using magic stone bricks, designed to withstand heavy punishment. It is a true work of craftsmanship, as every brick fits square where it should be.

Spoiler: Maximus Industria

This is The Grand Industry. It is the largest industrial sector in The Wastelands. It is home to innovation and technology. Everyday, hundreds of tonnes of ore are processed through here to support the Perniciosan industry that so heavily relies on it. Everything product that comes out of The Grand Industry has very good quality, and is also in a good quantity.

Spoiler: Airship Docks

The famed Airship docks, where airships are stored, repaired, and sometimes built. (Airships are more commonly built in the Maximus Industria).

It looks somewhat like this:

Except on top of a massive sinkhole.
It is the pinnacle of innovation for the kingdom.

Spoiler: Fortress of Benevolentia

This is the Citadel of Inner Perniciosa. It towers over everything in the city, and just barely the walls. It is constructed with stone bricks and pure emerald bricks. The tallest tower in the citadel has a light that reaches up into the sky infinitely, symbolizing the never-ending lifetime of the kingdom.

Spoiler: Outer Perniciosa (With Labels+Extra Info)

Outer Perniciosa is the rest of the Kingdom of Perniciosa. Unlike Inner Perniciosa, Outer Perniciosa is largely rural and poor. It is divided into 13 provinces.

Spoiler: First Province: Inner Perniciosa

This province is both a province and a city. It is where Dominus Terrae himself resides, and is a major source of trade. It is extremely wealthy.

Spoiler: Second Province: Sanctuarium

Sanctuarium is one of the only areas in The Wastelands that contains flourishing life. This is due to a spell cast by Dominus Terrae upon carving up the land for his provinces. Its provincial capital is Salvum Caelo. The province is surprisingly rather rich. It is almost the only source of wood and food for Perniciosa outside of foreign trade. It is largely composed of rich plains and dense forests, with occasional hills and mountains. It is a source of major trade due to it being a source of food and other resources that are considered extremely rare in The Wastelands. It is also a popular destination for tourists.

Spoiler: Third Province: Palus

Palus is one of the only areas in The Wastelands with clean drinking water. This is also due to the spell cast by Dominus Terrae when carving up land. Its provincial capital is Lacus Magni. It is relatively modest. Other than water and food, there is nothing much of interest in the province. It is composed of swamps, lakes, rivers, mangroves, etc.

Spoiler: The Fourth Province: Multum Fodienti

Multum Fodienti is the largest and most prosperous of the 7 mining provinces. It is considerable wealthy. Its provincial capital is Foderunt. It is the larger of the two Fodienti provinces. The Fodienti provinces were originally one large province, but Dominus Terrae decided to split it in two so that it did not have enough territorial extent for its people think that they were greater than him. It is largely composed of normal Wasteland plains and mountains. It is the home of several major mining sites.

Spoiler: The Fifth Provine: Minus Fodienti

Minus Fodienti is the lesser of the two Fodienti provinces. Compared to its larger counterpart, it is relatively modest in wealth. Like its counterpart, it is composed of normal Wasteland plains and mountains. Unlike its counterpart (which exports mostly stone and gravel), it exports some of the most pure ore found in The Wastelands.

Spoiler: The Sixth Province: Aes

Aes is by far the smallest mining province. Its wealth is quite modest. Its provincial capital is Aurum. It is largely composed of Wasteland plains and hills and occasionally some remains of forests. It is home to the most prominent mining firm in Perniciosa.

Spoiler: The Seventh Province: Montis

Montis is one of the poorest mining provinces. Crime is rampant, and slave labor (although outlawed by Dominus Terrae) is also not rare. Its provincial capital is Pulvis. It is largely composed of toxic swamps and Wasteland plains. It is known as the more tacky side of Perniciosa. Travelers and tourists alike are advised to avoid Montis in their journeys, as they may get robbed and murdered.

Spoiler: The Eighth Province: Argentum

Argentum is the most dangerous mining province. It is quite modest. It is home to some of the most dangerous landscapes in all of The Wastelands. Its provincial capital is Montem. It is home to some of the most dangerous creatures in The Wastelands. It is largely composed of toxic swamps. Despite the extreme dangers, it is a good mining hotspot, as precious ores have formed at the bottom of the swamps.

Spoiler: The Ninth Province: Flos

Flos is a rather average mining province. It is very poor. Its provincial capital is Avem. It is largely composed of Mountains and Wasteland Plains. It is also home to a host of toxic yet effective medicinal herbs.

Spoiler: The Tenth Province: Debitum

Debitum is known as "The Loyalist Province" as it is by far the most supportive of Dominus Terrae, as well as being the most loyal to him. It is rather modest. Its provincial capital is Aeris. It is largely composed of Wasteland Plains, Hills, and Mountains. It is a major source of dirt.

Spoiler: The Eleventh, Twelfth, and Thirteenth Provinces: Domi, Veteris, and Veterum

These final three provinces are largely unpopulated. They serve little purpose other than as an example of Dominus Terrae's might and power, as if The Wastelands itself wasn't already an example. They are mostly composed of Wasteland Plains.

 

Wait holy crap.

I made a realm on another map for something else and named it Argentum. Whaaaat. Let me guess, you were also thinking along the lines of the Latin word for silver?

 

Almost everything is Latin in Perniciosa :>
(Even Perniciosa itself is Latin)
