Dawn of the Kindred
Elysium :: In Character :: General Roleplay
Orsinnar on Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:35 am
Early in the morning, just fleeting moments before sunrise, the sails of a longboat are seen billowing in the wind off of the southern coast of Elysium. Large ships made of wood and reinforced by glinting steel slice through the waves as they continue towards the shore. It looked to be large enough to hold about one-hundred people. The ship would show no radar signals of electronic equipment or communication, but it might be spotted by the southern Elysium nations of Arian, Atrum, Imuabu, and Kyanon, or anyone close enough to the shoreline to see it approaching along the crashing ocean waves.

Rictas ,who was with a group of fishermen planning out a small village on the shore, saw the ships and called for a serpent to go and meet them. Once he had one he went out and stopped a bit in front of it and said loudly with his magik "Who goes there?"
Atrum Veneficus
Location : this reality
As Rictas and the serpent he was riding got closer, they would see an unfamiliar flag flown from the ship. As they saw him approach, Rictas would see figures moving across the deck of the ship, gazing out and pointing at him until he finally spoke. A man, presumably the captain, came up to the edge of the deck.
He was a heavily-built, tall, muscular man wearing armor made of leather and steel, with a battleaxe strapped to his back. A deep voice grunted out over the water. "I am Urthos Seahawk, of the Manakahai Kindred of Orsinnar. Who asks?"
Rictas shouted back "I am Rictas Konyn, Lord of Flame. High Lord General of Atrum veneficus. We live near here it is my duty to keep this land safe."

"We are a scout party, and I am the captain of this ship. We have not come to wage war, High Lord Rictas Konyn. May we pass without battle? We mean no harm."
A few more of the ship's crew came towards the end of the deck. They all seemed to be taller and more muscular than the average man, but Rictas would be too far to see them up close.

Rictas nodded "You may pass, i was just curious." He would move to the side but stay along with their vessel "Are you settlers for a nation? Or refugees like most of us here?"
Ellentrian might be able to see the medium-sized ship out over the coastline, as well as Rictas and his serpent in the water nearby.
The captain responded to Rictas. "Many thanks to you. We are settlers of the Manakahai Kindred of Orsinnar, searching for new land. We heard that this land was already settled, and wished to come and see for ourselves. "
Rictas nodded "There are many nations calling this land home, some huge amounts larger than others. Ours happens to be much smaller, refugees from a devastating genocidal war. Perhaps we could help you find land? We could benefit from helping each other 3 of the larger nations are...not so friendly to people they see as less advanced."
The captain turned to speak with some of his crew members. A woman stepped up, almost as tall and muscular as some of the men, and said something that Rictas couldn't hear to the ship's captain. She then turned and left, and Urthos went back to the edge of the ship.
"Very well. Yes, we accept your help gratefully. Where can we dock?"
Imuabu on Sun Feb 05, 2012 5:39 pm
Imuabu guards approached the group after seeing the ship dock near their land. The head guard stepped forward and introduced himself. "My name is Ramses... Is everything ok here?"
Imuabu
Location : Earth.... maybe
Once the Orsinnar were close enough for others to get a better look at them as they docked, everyone would clearly be able to see that this was a very different race of people. Many of them had greyish or greenish skin, and they were much larger than most other races. Some had tusks jutting out from their mouths, and many of them had thick hair wrapped into braided dreadlocks. They were mostly dressed in light leather or steel armor, some adorned with tattoos, and almost every one of them carried some kind of weapon that ranged from small swords to large warhammers.
Captain Urthos stepped off the ship to introduce himself again. "Ramses, I am Captain Urthos Seahawk, of the Manakahai Kindred of Orsinnar. We were told that our scouting party could dock here safely, by High Lord Rictas."
Rictas and his serpent went over to the dock and he stepped onto the dock as the serpent began swimming home. He smiled at Ramses "Im sure there isn't a problem with them docking here right? This land is safe for travellers of any nation..
Ramses nodded respectfully. "It's a pleasure to meet you Captian Urthos... and yes, this dock is used for any travelers. Is there anything you need help with captian?"
A tall woman approached from the deck of the ship, stepping onto the dock in front of the Captain.
"I am Okhennei Baneholder, Champion of Thane Orioth, and I am head of the scouting party. I would like to meet with your leader, and to ask for a place where I can set up a temporary camp for my scouts."
Rictas smiled "Im sure both of our leaders are in the same place so i dont think it would be difficult."
Ramses chuckled a little and nodded. "He's right... I'm sure both will talk to you. They're not too far away."
"Many thanks. Captain Urthos, you stay here and tend to the ship. I will go and meet with their leaders."
Rictas gestured for them to follow him, he began walking to where ever sorac and Isis were at the moment.
Okhennei followed, and her bodyguard, a male warrior, came along beside her. She kept a bastard sword sheathed and strapped onto her back, and her bodyguard carried an axe tucked into a sash at his side with a steel shield on his left arm.
Isis sat... somewhere in the castle... and was holding her stomach gently and lovingly. Her belly was bigger now. She looked to be a little more than a month pregnant when she was only about two weeks. "Hm... I sense someone coming..."
Sorac was with her and had his arms around her, she was actually on his lap and he was resting his head on her back "Oh for the love of the night i hope its no one from your family....no offense." he looked up and saw rictas with the ambassador like person. He blushed and gently stood with Isis "Hello there..who may i ask are you?"
Isis laughed when Sorac said that and then when she saw the ambassador she stood stood. Isis studied her. Not in a creepy way, but just wanted to get to know what kind of feel she got from this person. Was she friend or foe?
Okhennei hardly had the appearance of an ambassador - she looked more like a hardened warrior, wise from years of warfare and training. As she steppped in, she stood proudly to introduce herself.
"Hello. I am Okhennei Baneholder, of the Manakahai Kindred of Orsinnar, on behalf of Thane Orioth of the High Kindred Chieftain Kurath Redhawk. I come as the chief of the Thane's scouting party, to meet with the leaders of the nations of Elysium."
Sorac smiled and bowed his head slightly "Welcome to Elysium, My name is Sorac Ivory-Wolf, Lord Magis of Atrum Veneficus, also known as The King of Nights. I'm not sure where there is any free land on the main continent, but my scouts say they are some island off the coast no one has claimed."
