Choices same as Terenos.

Another for future use.

This is the time of change. Time of new world, with new lands and new people being both found and molded into something greater than themselves. Or perhaps not? Perhaps this opportune time can be used by the cunning and the ruthless to forge their vision into a reality, on backs of those less powerful or with weaker minds?

Your clan and 4 others descend from the same pillar, the Allfather. But for every similarity, there is a difference, and those make you what you truly are.

The escape from the Eastern ash lands of Eofol, or the Northern Wastes, or perhaps the deep forests of the West, brought you all back together, after dispersion of many generations. Will you come together to elect a new leader to rule over  all of Allfather’s kin, or will each of you struggle to create his own realm and gain a rightful place for your new people?

Few things about the game before we start:

Step 1: Be sure you know what sort of game this is.
This is a roleplay-heavy game. Less min/maxing, more acting like your character would act. There is no way to 'win' and the mechanics are simple, but you are expected to interact in a sensible manner with people and not make your story be just about you; tie it into the stories of others and the story of the world at large. Should be familar to those who saw You Are King games or other kingdom RP games.
The technology level is set roughly in the dark ages, and the land you inhabit might contain magic and mighty beasts, or it can be no more harmful than forests ofEurope few thousand years ago, with its wolves and bears. The key aspect is exploration, discovery and growth, and the eventual conflict between involved people.

Step 2: Check up on the state of the world.
The world is crazy. It is created by the players as they play, and constantly growing and changing. So trying to describe the state of the world- bit of a never-ending task. While I will build it around you as we play, your actions and your tribes create  as much of the world as I do if not more. If a particular aspect interests you, you can ask about it in the OOC thread. Map and culture descriptions will come as IC is created.

Step 3: May the best man win.
Applications are approved on basis of merit (and my fancy). This also means that I won't hesitate from deadly encounters between players - if you go to war, you may die and so can they. Provided I can handle more than 5 players, I will allow people to join in as retainers or members of tribes or even independent characters. Again, those will be based on merit too.

Step 4: be gentle please.
This is my first proper GM affair, so please bear with me or my mistakes. Feel free to comment or correct me within reason.

Seems so.

Request an official meeting with the baron. The request is positive, reinforced by the notion that baron was chosen for his piety.

Davian walked in front of the temple, observing the people moving about their business. Redhall was a busy place, but it felt soulless. There was no zeal here, no desire for change. The problems of the border apparently did not penetrate here and if not roused to action in time, these people will suffer. But he could not be overt, lest he caused panic. A third way was needed.

Firebrand preacher mode - rally support for the temple and for the Inquisition among the townsfolk, encouraging piety and service/gifts for the temple, giving sermons in front of the temple.

Find a noble mansion nearest to the temple - hope to find  most pious one out of them all before approaching with any requests.
Enter the temple and speak with the priests, inform them of the foundation and let them know of the situation - the temple will host a monastery and chapterhouse library/labs with their permission and assistance.

The aliens are from now known as Vorn.
Produce 4 class IV ships on Artesia
2 new pops on Remilius to food production
5 Class III ships on Rannon
Produce 4 class IV ships on Arianne.
Continue exploration of nearby systems.

All the issues have been corrected already with the GM. And please do not worry about my turns, Ghaz tells me everything if there is a problem, he corrects and makes adjustments with me while doing his turns.
