    I don't think it's strange. If anything, I think it shows that yu have high hopes for the future of this RP. I can't say how many role plays I've been in where it falls apart simply because the creator didn't plan ahead. Then everyone sort of goes their own way with it, and it gets ripped apart, despite having a good plot at the beginning... And Riesentor? Sounds like an awesome name for a town! Why German though? Not that I'm complaining. I've always thought German history and culture is awesome. And I've never liked how people basically labelled Germans as 'the bad guys' during WW1 and 2. I don't think there's any such thing as good or bad in a war... A real war that is. Both sides think they're fighting for the right side. I mean, yeah, Hitler and the Nazis were bad, and they did bad plops, but their soldiers weren't evil.

    Sorry. Kind of off topic there.

    Thanks. Why German? Well, I'd like to give a whole big explanation on a tie in between Nords and German people, but really, it's probably just because I spent about a month in Germany this summer.

    And I completely agree with you on the no such thing as good and bad in a war. My great grandfather fought for the Hitler, and I don't think he was an evil, Jew hating freak. He was just a soldier fighting for his country. Well, actually, he was an officer, and I think he spent a lot of the war fighting in Russia. But let's not forget, the winners of wars write the history books. You'll almost never hear about the good people that fought for the Japanese, or Germans, or whoever else was with the Axis. (My history's a little rusty.) Not that I've got anything against the British or Canadians or French. I even kind of admire the Americans, even if they only joined in after they were bombed.

    Another interesting fact, is Hitler wasn't German. Everyone paints him as an evil German mastermind, which, I'm not going to argue, he was fluffed in the head. But he was Austrian. Not German.

    But I digress. Last thing I want is to start an argument on who was the true bad guys in any war.

    Ah...not sure why we're discussing world wars, but anyways...
    Sure, I'll do a scene for Jorn. I was planning on doing most of his scenes anyways, especially when we get to Windhelm. Excited to see this new town, though, the Nord-German thing I kind of disagree with. I think they're more like Vikings. Except they have like...three boats. Excited for it anyways though. I'll do a Jorn scene now then. Also something for Shadari.

    So how was that? And I have a feeling they got rid of Shadaris colour too. But I've got something close.

    It's good. I like how Jorn thinks he's using Azeraile, and Azeraile thinks he's using Jorn. I don't think they'll end up betraying each other though. There goals are pretty much the same I'd say. And yeah, a lot of colours got changed or removed completely. At least they kept Salthars blue. Otherwise, heads would have to be removed.

    And Averaines red. Shaded, was planning a post, and, I noticed that Shadari felt like she was being watched. Now, is that from the scrying, and a she felt it, or is she just getting jumpy? Also, would the others be able to feel it as well?
     

    TheShadedOne

    The Angry One
    A little of both. She's jumpy because she wants to get on the road, and she kind of had a feeling she was being watched due to the scrying, but she didn't know what it was. You can have Averaine feel it too, but I don't think he'd know what it was. I think only Salthar and maybe Elizabeth would really know what it was.
     

    Drahkma

    Dashing Imperial Officer.
    Okay. I just wrote pretty much the same. Bad feeling, sort of.

    Not sure I need Torin to notice it. Honestly, being in a big city, he's already nervous and eager to be out there on the road again.
     

    Drahkma

    Dashing Imperial Officer.
    True. So, Torin kind of has a wanderlust, right? Can't stay in one place too long, always wants to be moving around.

    Wouldn't call it wanderlust, exactly. He will stay in some places, for as long as he needs to, but he's just much more comfortable out in nature than he is in crowded cities.

    Okay. Slight change of subject. I think I have a handle on the Blight. Think...Nagash, from warhammer. Cold, dark, completely evil. Unlike the daedra, the Blight wants to bring the world into quiet oblivion. All living things under its control. The Master, I should say, is like Nagash, not the whole Blight itself. You might want to google him a little.
     

    Madrar

    The Shadow in the Dark.
    Yeah, me too. The Blight forces don't change in my mind. Mostly orcs, goblins, troll like creatures, and then they've got some others like that werewolf thing Donath fought in Nightfall. Most Blight, I think anyways, according to what Aliah, Shaded and I have agreed on, are either like orcs/ uruk hai , trolls, and the like, with a few others just twisted monstrosities.

    Okay. Guys, whoever can post, should do so. Not to force, but I kind of want to get out of whiterun by the end of the week. Preferably thursday. So...@windwalker @willowwisp @Aethalia @Stormmaiden let's get to posting. If I absolutely have to, I'll shuffle people into position. Will I always be a slave driver for posts? Probably. I know it makes me look a little petty, and there's no rule on the first page, but still I'd prefer posts at least once a week.

    Okay, I'll get something up. Maybe have Elizabeth kind of sense the scrying spell?

    I'll have Alicr pull herself together and make up with Cilla. Alice is too distracted to notice the spell but she could identify it and Cilla would feel something but not know what it was. I'm also gonna do a little bit with Simus and Carlotta. Have them talk to the girls about what happened and about the new adventure we're going on. I figure the adventure in What Lurks in the Dark was relatively unplanned and Cilla was involved enough to where it was in her best interest to stay with the group. Her parents are going to have serious reservations about leaving for another adventure for obvious reasons and lesser but still serious reservations about Alice, Julius and Elizabeth going. Again for obvious reasons. They won't get in the way though. By this time they both like and trust Aliah with their children. Salthar they'll always watch closely but they understand that he understands he's lose more than he'd gain by harming or killing party members.

    Plus Salthar has a soft spot for my girls. C'mon now Madrar, you know it's true :D

    Okay, I've posted. Elizabeth isn't trained really in much beside a few basic spells I think, since she's been staying with Salthar and sort of apprenticing with him. Which is why she can sense something, but isn't too sure what it is exactly.
