Y'know what, fuck it, let's standardize this.
I FEEL THE NEED FOR MORE... MORE LORE!!!
If you would be so kind, post the following in this thread. It's okay if you haven't decided on all the things yet, we have about 2 weeks.

Demonym (e.g., America = American):
Leader (name and a picture, description, or RS chathead):
Starting Paragon (it can be a Champion, Ambassador, Spymaster, or Scholar. Name and a picture, description, or RS chathead):
Capital Name (all Capitals are Urban regions, so this is a (big) city):

If I get the whole paragon thing, I'd like Ares to be Champion: Duelist

Roit, Toa. So you have 2 NPCs that you start out with. 1 is your Leader, who posts your turn posts, conducts Diplomacy, talks to other factions, roleplays, etc. He doesn't have any mechanical impact on the game, he's 100% lore.
The other is your first Paragon, which can be a Champion (military), Ambassador (Diplomacy), Spymaster (Espionage), or Scholar (Research). If it's a Champion, and he's traveling with an army that you fight a battle with, then he posts your battle turns. Otherwise, it's your Leader (CARRIER PIGEONS FTW!)
If you want a Champion, that's fine, but the Duelist Specialization is only for Wandering Paragons, who are predefined NPCs that travel the world. They'll also be in GW:TA, but your starting Paragon has to be a normal one (no Specialization).
I'll try not to typo, but I think Convenors are going to be called Covenors a lot. Or Cove Nords, the Sailors of Skyrim!

Covenors is also fine. At least it's not a swear word or anything ^.^
I made my Paragon an Ambassador by accident, by the way. I've changed him to a Scholar.

Scholar? PCC, huzzah! Sorry. I just remembered that starting regions are important for creating a faction, so here ya go. Armadyl1 (me): SLF (Silver Forest)  Armadyl2 (Unguis): SKF (Sky Fields)  Bandos1 (Orange): TOC (Troll Country)  Bandos2 (Urzanko): TMS (The Mighty Shores)  Saradomin1 (Siroki): SNC (Sovereign Coast)  Saradomin2 (Thorlah): BLP (The Blue Peninsula)  Zamorak1 (Sarudin): HVW (Hallowvale Wetlands)  Zamorak2 (Yuhkon): UHL (Unholy Landing)  Zaros1 (Toa): AED (Aedonnius)  Zaros2 (ePi): KHR (Kharrock)  |

I'm on mobile now, so I'll try to edit it in even I can
Ares is changed to Leader, Paragon is Hephaestus. Paragon is Scholar.
Empire is called Yolshurfraan (The Return in an unknown language) but everyone can call it Sholfurn (Returned). So it is pretty much Empire of the Returned.

Keep it coming, guys. Good stuff!
Yuhkon: Have everything, just waiting for more details to make NPC chatheads.
Toa: Have everything except the demonym - if the empire is called Sholfurn, what are its people? Sholfurnese? Sholfurni? Or some other word from that unknown language? Also have leader's image, but need description for Paragon.
Everyone else: Imaginaaaaaaaation ;_;!
There's also your faction's flag/logo to consider. Yuhkon, Siroki and I have all worked with Photoshop and GIMP, so if you want us to make one for you, just ask!

Your Faction Name: Impirium Infurnum Demonym : Legionite Leader :Bargo'vesh-. Bargo'Vesh is a 16 foot tall Tsutsaroth demon. armored head to talon and armed with a Halberd. Bargo'Vesh's armor was forged to give a look of screaming souls trying to escape of it. His Halberd is meant for his size. His white glowing eyes and pitch black skin make his look different then most of his Tsutsaroth brothers. His wings fully stretched out reach 36 feet. He has six horns on his head with the smallest on the left broken in half and the length of the longest reaching about 3 feet off of his skull. Starting Paragon:  Ishtala Zaboros. Champion and seconded in command under Bargo'Vesh. She was once a vampire who was near death till Bargo"Vesh found her on his war path. After a hard and long amount of fighting she worked her way to be his personal body guard. Now his champion seconded in command. Capital Name: Ebon Gate. God : Zamarok |

So, reposting my OP: Faction Name: Yolshuraan, or Sholfurn. Demonym: Muurini Leader: Ares, War's Blade. Pictures: FirstSecondStarting Paragon: Hephaestus, Tinkerer of Many Things. Scholar. Might be pictures but if not, description: Looks to be of noble blood, but physique is more of a blacksmith. Guess looks can be very deceiving with him. Capital Name: Shulgaarad, Off the coast of Daemonheim. : God: Zaros ofc. For flag, you guys can take care of that honestly. Anything else? |

I have most of my things all set up on the forums *flashes consultants badge* but I might as well do some jazz-and/or-sizzle here as well.  Your Faction Name: Saradominist Reformationist Demonym: Reformationist Leader: Mars Auberon  De facto leader of the Reformationists; a realist, Mars agreed to come to Gielinor to help solve the issues of corruption to cash in a favor for the God of Order... Starting Paragon: Juniper Mach (Scholar)  Capital Name: Scar-Domina God: Saradomin |

How long have the gods been absent from the wars in the lore?

Post by Jasband on Apr 30, 2015 16:16:04 GMT -5
Lime sez the gods started leaving in 3554. The game starts in 3564, so that's 10 years.
I think his intention was for you to decide when your god left (within that span), but because there's 2 players per god, it's something that should be defined unless your faction's lore is that you don't remember, or don't know (maybe you were chilling on Zanaris, for instance).
My lore says Armadyl left in the middle of 3563, since the way I have my faction set up wouldn't make as much sense if there was a lot of time between him leaving and the start of the game. Since we're the only 2 who have to worry about Armadyl, we can compromise on a year if you want more of a separation.

Hmmm. For the first draft of my lore I don't mention Zaros leaving at all because my people think he's still dead/AWOL from Mr Stabby.
It's only a first draft - so I don't mind if I have to change it. Keep in mind this is the first time I've heard about what Jas said

Post by Jasband on Apr 30, 2015 17:34:06 GMT -5
Well, yeah, Zaros is different. For Zaros, the basic outline is that Zamorak returned, the God Wars started, and the Zarosian Empire went straight to shit. It couldn't defend against the assaults of the other gods (read: Zamorak and Saradomin), so it fractured much sooner than the other gods' realms. However, Lime will have to answer if there was a specific event that happened between 3554 and 3563 that created the factions at the start of the game, (which would be analogous to the other gods leaving).

So I'm just harmlessly thinking that ePiKnight is the main body of the Zarosian Empire while I am just a splinter of it.
Edit: Or we are both splinters. That sounds more reasonable.

Post by Jasband on Apr 30, 2015 19:20:48 GMT -5
You're both splinters. The main Empire is made of NPCs, though only Lime knows how many and what their current status is.
My guess is "rekt".

Oh Grodd need to find chatheads.
In that case, just use the pathfinder chathead. But I an pretty sure the wiki shows female...
Hm. I'll work on looking for a Hephaestus chathead.
