[WIP] The Kingdom, Official Launch Post + Recruitment Options

[AP Erebus]

The Kingdom has long been known as a place of prosperity and stability. Its rulers have ruled with benevolence and justice for hundreds of years. But an ill wind is blowing.

Political upheaval sweeps the land as relations between old friends become stressed. To the east, an even older foe is casting her eyes towards old territory.

Alliances will be destroyed, friends will be killed, and enemies will be set free…

And all for the good of The Kingdom.

The Kingdom is not a TC for Oblivion. It is just a extra world that has it's own culture, history, lore and people.

Set in a completely new world, the mod will place the player in a unfamiliar environment. With no bearing on where they are they head to the nearest city, where they learn of a terrible danger that is threatening The Kingdom.

----------------------------------------------
Goals of The Kingdom Mod

- To design a fully realised world in which the player feels a part of a vibrant, living world. This includes terrain, fully developed history and political environment.

- To have a developed economy that makes sense and is realised with area specific traders.

- To create the world using the TES Construction Set (CS).

- To write, design, and create fully developted plotlines for all the major and minor factions and people in The Kingdom.

- To create custom buildings, items, and weapons using 3D Studio Max.

- To design numerous dungeons, caverns, cities, towns, villages, camps, caves and other places for the player to explore.

Brief History

? Before Unification (BU)
The earliest records tell tales of clans living sparse existences. These rudimentary communities were scattered across the land with very little contact and almost no trade. Various dialects existed, hampering the growth of the communities.

95BU
The turning point in history came when the Toldian smiths discovered the secret to working iron. This vastly superior metal could cut bronze swords in half. The Toldian King outfits the first soldiers with iron swords, the elite Draegors.

95BU - 26BU
After 69 years of war Toldia defeats Borlas and turns is eyes eastwards, towards the Jurash Empire.

0 After Unification (AU)
The Kingdom was united. The Toldian King, upon assuming the Kingdom kingship, anointed his son to the Dukedom of Toldia. Borlas was renamed in honour of the Draegors to Bordael and their commander was named Duke. The former Jurash territory was renamed, in honour of Ren Tolth, to Rentolthan and Ren was named as Duke.

The King built his capital on Mymar Island and he named it Glyferie, in honour of his dead wife.

320Au - 1032AU
Kings were born, crowned and died. The people kept living their lives and The Kingdom prospered. Peace ruled the land.

1033AU

Well good thing Fargoth himself likes our mod. Maybe we should advertise it like this:
