Melhed/History/Age of Blood/April 2005 Elections

From BattleMaster Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This occurred somewhere around April 2005 election in the Age of Blood. Melhed was in the midst of surviving an onslaught upon Agyr during the Second Invasion. Twenty-one nobles were part of Melhed when this began. While the realm bureaucrats insisted on titling letters from the council as Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, Grand Justiciar, and Minister of Finances, melite nobles preferred Emperor, Grand General, Grand Justicar, and Lord High Bankercrat, respectively. The titles have been recorded as melites wished them to be. Family names were not recorded in this day in history, but family names have been added where known.

"Hey, nice work Nemrus. That must have taken quite a bit of time and effort to write. It's always nice to see a good roleplay here and there."..... Koban....

Thanks, I had to RP something... My RP isn't so good, but ok...

"Oh, and I'm not going to get mad if you use my name in roleplay, so no worries :)"... Koban...

Well, my RP didn't quite end here. The battle is still to be told in it....

Rengo…..


As the monsters come running towards the group…. "Hold your fire" shouts Hihg Mashall Koban of Melhed, riding his horse … "Let them come into proper range, and then we shall rain hell on them"….

As the monster come running towards the army, the sky darkens... One of them see towards the sky, a dark cloud hanging above. Curious it waits and see at the cloud, getting bigger and bigger.

A patch of the cloud comes near him, an arrow pierces his eyes. By the time they release its a cloud of thousands of thousands of arrow, the whole group falls to the ground....

I'm running for Judge again. I know that it's technically Aldo's month this time, but since I was injured he's had my spot for more than half the month anyway, so I should get it back until I'm injured again.

So, what's my position ... hmm ... I support allowing the undead to vote, as long as the polling stations for them are in Enweil and they have to pass a skill test (namely, "Show me how fast you can fall apart to your proper state of deadness!"). Those who fail the test will be immediately deported to another continent, though their leader Listener will be free to stay.

Very cool new option for heroes!

Pick up volunteers - see if any locals will join your unit and partake in your heroic deeds.

Word of your presence has spread throughout the region, and volunteers are gathering in the nearby inns. Many of them are just eager, but if you spend some time weeding them out, you might find a bunch of good soldiers among them.

This is a hero-unique way of enlarging your unit a little independent of location, available recruits and, best of all, for free.

So it seems my opponent has once again decided to try and become judge; curse you Tan for making this a fair an honest election. ;)

Well I guess I need some propaganda of my own then....

In my short time as judge I haven't had much to do; you people are very law abiding. But what I have done is draft and post the Constitution of Melhed that is available for your viewing pleasure in the judge's bulletin. As should be plane to see from the laws I've tried to record, I believe in fair and honest treatment for all members of Melhed and plan on continuing my efforts to simplify and correct the laws recorded.

That said Tan is an excellent judge as well who has tried his best to make Melhed one of the best places to live during his own time as judge. He is a worthy opposition.

So Please Vote!

Thank you,

Am going to throw my support behind Tsu this election, he has shown alot of skill dealing with the undead. Also I must say we have a great general, even though I know he doesn't trust me, that means he's one of the smart ones. Also our Judge is pretty good, but most of the time he's at the healers which makes me wonder what's really going on if you know what I mean. Our banker on the other hand, I think he has alot to learn, If you ever need any pointers or help just ask. Am more then willing to help you with you problems.

The city currently has a fortification type of Keep (3).

That means you need 12 "blocks" of improvement in order to raise it to the next level. Each block costs 203 gold to construct.

I'm throwing my hat in the ring for both Prime Minister AND Judge. I'm such a great leader that I don't even know the MEANING of the words "independant judiciary"! Longtime members of Melhed are nodoubt familliar with my rousing wartime ballads and freestyle rapping. As your defacto tyrant I promise to provide all the bread you can eat, and maybe a few circuses too. I just got off the phone with P. T. Barnum's ghost and he expressed an interest.

As for my opponent Tsu, well let's just say his lengthy reign was not earned honestly cough ballotstuffing cough. In fact I think it's fair to refer to him as CRIME minister instead of PRIME minister.

So for all these reasons and more vote Ott in the next election. Also if you vote for me I'll get you a great deal on a used car (kinda broken, you have to use the hand brake to stop in the wintertime). PEACE OUT!

Info of how Rig came into picture:- (it's in the Tiki)

Rig is one of the gods of Svunnetland religion... in Far East


The Order at Ipsosaz Temple is currently led by Domine Shen, a wise old monk. The Order is broken down into these parts:

Skalde – are the keepers of tradition, of the memory of the land. They are the custodians of the sacredness of the Word. They are well trained in grammar, hundreds of stories of the land, poems and philosophy. Much of the early history of Svunnetland Empire was an oral story telling tradition, the Skalde are charged with continuing the storytelling traditions of old while writing all of this history down to be preserved for generations to come.

The Ovates – This group includes the healers and those devoted to the study of science and medicine. They are well versed in the medicinal uses of most herbs and plants.

The Presten – This is the priest class. They are responsible for the theological teachings of the Order. This group is well versed in theology, and philosophy. They are the directors of ritual so to speak. Their job is to guide and maintain the holy rights of the Order.


Honor, loyalty, honesty, justice and courage are part of the core teachings of the Order.

The Order recognizes the following gods:

Rig: Watchman of the gods and owner of the horn Gjall.

Odin: God of poetry, battle and death. Also known as the "all-father", and "father of battle".

Thor: God of Sky, thunder and fertility. Associated with law and order and guardian of the gods. Also known as the "thunder god" and "charioteer".

Eir: Goddess of healing

Forseti: God of Justice.

It sounds suspiciously like norse gods because much of it is taken from the norse.

After consulting a friend much more knowledgable about norse gods than I, the following differences have been determined.

The Ovates are not norse, though the concept behind the Ovates isn't new, the Norse had healers like that, but as far as he knows they didn't attach any religious significance to them.

The word Presten isn't norse, the norse called their priests "godi".

And "Rig" is actually just Heimdall.

There are also spelling mistakes as compared to the norse version.

Have fun. This is the first in a series of steps to put marshals into their proper place.

What is that place, you ask? It is the micro-management of their armies. Taking care of individual troop leaders and their units is the job of the marshals, so that the generals can concentrate on more of the bigger picture."

In case you guys aren't on the discussion list:

From Tom: For a long time, I've mentioned that internal politics and the occasional power-strife within a realm make the game more interesting.

So I've worked on it, and created a new class: Courtier


A courtier is a kind of merge between bureaucrat and infiltrator. He travels without a unit and at higher skill levels invisible. He can engage in intrigue and gossip.

Gossip allows him to learn details about regions and troop leaders, many of which are unavailable to other classes. Through gossip, he can also "intercept" fragments of private messages anyone in the same region sends or receives.

Intrigue gives him manipulative powers. They are not as disruptive as those of the infiltrator, but more difficult to spot. For example, he can spread rumours about troop leaders, impacting their honour and/or prestige values temporarily (they will recover over a span of one month). He can talk region stewards into handing him gold from the tax collection (very high skill levels required to do that in enemy regions). His most important intrigue power is the ability to manipulate elections.


To give the courtiers some action, they can attend tournaments and they can fight the - requested before - duels. They can even force other troop leaders into duels by insulting their honour publicly, giving the victim the choice to fight the duel or lose tremendous amounts of honour.


As a final step, there will be a realm-wide "intrigue level" large determined by the number of courtiers in the realm regions, regardless of which realm they actually belong to (courtiers can be used as a kind of ambassadors and live in other realms). At high intrigue levels, as in real life, only courtiers can survive the deadly politics and all government members are forced to either become courtiers themselves or step down from their positions.


Should be in testing with the next update.

I've issued standing orders which most of you should see if you haven't read messages today.

In addition, I can now view the Army of Agyr. For all those who have become Knights of Tsu (or rather, Knights of Agyr), I can see ranks, locations, status, unit, combat strength and 'ready' for each player.

'Ready', expressed as a percentage, indicates how much combat a unit can take before it suffers serious consequences. This takes into account wounded, equipment damage, morale and cohesion.

Knights of Agyr, according to my scribe, you are all 100% ready for battle! We'll see if that changes next turn after we fight those undead!

greetings friends tonight i will recite one of my favourite poems!!!oneone

Il faut être toujours ivre. Tout est là: c'est l'unique question. Pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du Temps qui brise vos épaules et vous penche vers la terre, il faut vous enivrer sans trêve.
Mais de quoi? De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise. Mais enivrez-vous.
Et si quelquefois, sur les marches d'un palais, sur l'herbe verte d'un fossé, dans la solitude morne de votre chambre, vous vous réveillez, l'ivresse déjà diminuée ou disparue, demandez au vent, à la vague, à l'étoile, à l'oiseau, à l'horloge, à tout ce qui fuit, à tout ce qui gémit, à tout ce qui roule, à tout ce qui chante, à tout ce qui parle, demandez quelle heure il est; et le vent, la vague, l'étoile, l'oiseau, l'horloge, vous répondront: «Il est l'heure de s'enivrer! Pour n'être pas les esclaves martyrisés du Temps, enivrez-vous; enivrez-vous sans cesse! De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise!»

I may have scouts, but at the moment, they are completely worthless. I fear I am a fool, and choose to try my hand at being a trader for some time in Abington. Such a life did not agree with me, and when I heard tell of the battles, and need of Troop Leaders here, I choose to leave that life for this one, unfortunately, I neglected to alter my class before leaving, and now, I am still a trader, until such time as I am allowed to change.

It was my first emigration and I did not know I'd be stuck in this class for a while upon arrival.

Bahaha, now I have the longest title!

I'll try it out when we can afford to take certain risks :)

Ah, what the hell, I'll try it anyway. For offensive battles we'll engage in 'Archer Open', meaning archers are deployed in front of the infantry for the first round, and for defensive battles, we'll be on 'Fortification' so most of our units will be deployed on the walls.

If we're going to have a major battle, I'll just issue settings manually.

Also note that these 'automatic settings' only apply to the knights of Agyr. Anyone who has not sworn loyalty to Tsu will not see these unit settings.
