In ages past men lived simpler lives - they would hunt, farm, fight and always respect the might of the Old Gods. Shamans led the clans with their elemental magic - so it was for many generations, before history was ever written down. The great hero Rog united a dozen human clans into a tribe that would form the foundation of our future Kingdom.One day Rog mysteriously vanished - then came the Great Storm - when it passed, the shamans could no longer feel the presence of the Gods and had lost the source of their magic.
The 1st Century After the Storm saw us becoming a proper civilization, beginning to accept the New Gods of the Pantheon and adopting technologies and customs from the east.
By the end of the 2nd century we were beginning to catch up to Paitras as larger wars were being fought.
The 3rd century saw the fall of Paitras and the rise of the Norse, with Roggar filling in much of the void left. By the end of the century most of Paitras had been reunited.
The 4th century saw the Pantheonic faith strengthen, defeating barbarians in both the north and south.
The 5th century started and ended with devastating plagues. 409-411 saw Roggar engaged in wars with itself and its neighbours, which ended in the foundation of the Holy Pantheonic Empire and an ensuing Golden Age for decades.
The 6th century was a century of blood and ash - the crusade against the Ashland Demons ended in the death of all who were there to witness it on either side. An invasion of the Kingdom of Ezirin led to wars across the continent that shook the Empire to the core and ushered in a new Dark Age. Following that, Roggar recovered and began progressing once more.
In recent decades we attacked the Barbarian King again after he annexed the Steppe Kingdom, forcing him to release it after both sides took many casualties.We aided the Akeshisu in rebelling against the Sea elf Pirates. The current Emperor of the HPE is Brangim Kragnan.
In the last few years, a deadly plague has been spreading, starting outside Gregariapol and now killing millions across Roggar and starting to reach beyond.

Rats. Big and small, we've found out that it's these strange, abberant ratmen that are spreading the plague. They appear to be more intelligent than normal rats or any regular animal perhaps - comparable to the direwolves that spread lycantropy decades ago, these ratmen seem semi-organized and extremely malicious. The biggest of them we've seen can reach a gnome or even a goblin's size, while the smallest are as big as a normal rat. They are stronger, faster and smarter, though, and they bring this plague with them wherever they go. They hide in hay, stow away in crates, in holes and sewers - big cities and densely populated areas are most afflicted.
Theser ratmen have already spread throughout the HPE as reports come from our neighbours that they've got the same problem. How will we deal with them?

>>1038881
"Burn them all. If they bring a plague on our lands and are not willing to submit to Roggar, then they have no right to live here."

>>1038881
Gather up an offering of cheeses or corpses or whatever these beasts like so we might have a chance to talk to them; I sense a military opportunity waiting to happen.

By the way, I suggest anyone who frequents any underground areas near cities be careful. Presumably, these beings will hang about wherever normal rats might.

We tried overtures and talking to them - they can't properly speak in any of our languages. Through nature magic we managed to eventually establish communications, but what the priests of Divata and Ezdar gleamed was very disturbing - they described it as a "Poison of the mind" "Sin made flesh" "Hunger unending, hatred unstoppable".

The Cult of Abagar developed a poison to use against the ratmen - they adapted to it, absorbed it and now also apply some of its effects themselves.

Measures to counter the rat plague have been enacted. Elimination squads have been deployed and have begun burning the rats out. There can be no peace - when we tried communicating with them and getting them to follow us and make peace, they tricked us into thinking they were complying, only to spring up and attack us again when we dropped our guard. Many soldiers and guardsmen died in the operation that was attempted.
The plague continues, though we've managed to stop it from speeding up and may be turning the tide slowly.

The astronomers of the HPE and High Elf Dominion gathered in Dominas to discuss heavenly matters.
The Heavenly Cosmos is composed of various objects. The planets have a certain rotary motion in relation to each other and the Sun, which is our source of light and warmth. Further in the Cosmos one may observe the stars, small, but bright objects beyond our Sun. Lesser objects that traverse the Cosmos and collide with planets are comets, asteroids and meteoroids. On a clear night with good optical instruments, an astronomer in an observatory may marvel at the Cosmos' miracles.
A day is the full cycle of the Sun around our planet and lasts 24 hours, each of whom lasts 60 minutes, who last 60 seconds.
A year lasts 360 days, split in 12 months of 30 days each. The four seasons of the year are marked by differing temperature which affects life on our planet.

Aside from the Sun there are five known planets.
The observable planets and their Pantheonic names are as follow:
>The Sun - Juras
>The smallest - Divata
>Our planet - Domna (one moon, Drana)
>The closest and most similar to ours - Abagar (twin moons - Zemel and Ezdar)
>The largest - Mor (four moons - Charodei, Kovag, Gyolas and Stoman, from smallest to largest)
>The most distant - Batahl
Mundane matters such as synchronizing the current time have been settled.
Different astronomers have proposed theories that the cycle of stars, planets and lesser objects have an effect on magic and life on our planet, but no clear consensus has been reached on that matter.
We could not reach a consensus on what the days of the week should be called, though. We've synchronized them, though, so the first day of the Paitan callendar corresponds with the first day of the Roggarian calendar and so on and so forth.
The Roggarian week remains as it has been for six centuries - Axeday, Fishday, Bowday, Lumberday, Spearday, Huntsday and Godsday

For too long our traditional, shared values have been under attack by those who seek to undermine what used to define our great nation.
In these days, with rising meatbun-prices, we must defend and maintain our way of life and the values and virtues that used to define us.
Forcing the common citizens of Roggar to learn untested and unproven things such as these "maths" not only violates their freedom but also serves as a tool to disrupt the traditional family clan and attack our traditional Pantheonic faith.

Roggarian funeral rites include burying the deceased with a significant item and the erection of a tombstone, on which the sigil of their patron god, whoever they may be, is carved.

653 has come and as promised, Vodmus Cragdigger abdicates from the Roggarian throne after 50 years of largely successful rule.

The time for a new Contest has come!
If you want to propose a candidate from your faction, you must provide the following info:
>Name
>Age
>Skills/experience
>A little about yourself and what you promise to do for Roggar

If you want to be a candidate, write your post and roll a 1d100 for how well you perform on the Contest.

The Contest itself is only half of the deal - the other half are faction endorsements!
Endorsements only begin five minutes after this post, so candidates can write a proper post
If you want to endorse someone you roll the following;
1d15 if you are not a candidate and haven't endorsed anyone
1d10 if you were a candidate, but drop out to endorse
1d5 if you already endorsed someone and are changing your endorsement


Remember - an average performance in the Contest can be compensated by promising good things for Roggar and to individual factions to buy their favour. If you are not a candidate, your endorsement is worth more, so you may give it to the highest bidder if that's what you want! The King will appoint a new Cabinet after the Coronation - those who helped him/her get to the throne may get rewarded.

We will... we will, we're going to renegotiate out trade deals with other empires.

And we're going to build a wall to keep out the Zhongians! They're bringing crime. They're bringing non-taxed drugs. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. Just vote for me, and I tell you, this wall is gonna be yuuuuge. Together, we can defeat crooked Frederick.

Before an amassed crowd in Dragons Tomb, Vodmus gives a resignation speech.

"My Loyal Subjects, it has been an heartfelt 50 years, but my time has come. Upon my Contest, I promised you, the people, that I will abdicate when 50 years has passed, and here they are. When I was elected, the Roggarian people viewed me as nothing more than a foreigner, a colonist! As time grown, I gained your trust and in return I learned to appreciate the roggarian culture and people. For 50 years, I have led this nation through bloodshed, sweat, and trials even the strongest of dwarves couldn't handle, but I did it. And not once did I complain, for I could not forgive myself if I gave up on those who look up to the King. Of course, I couldn't have done it without my faithful Council, kingsguard included, and my great friend King Kragnan! Of course. I worked hard for roggar, improving the economy and even forging new alliances. There are some things I wish I could more, but alas the time has come. When I am no longer king, I ask only that I am remembered. For the last time as your king, I say Goodbye Roggarians. May the Next King rule ever so gloriously."

"Thank you. Thank you, and all the Gods of the Pantheon bless each and every one of you. I and my fellow councilors are so honored to be allowed to address the gathered representatives here today.

I believe we all must remind ourselves. We’re fighting not for one particular candidate or one campaign, but because each of us wants to be able to tell our kids and grandkids, our own families, that we did our best for their future and our country.

Roggar is more than just a land mass between two oceans. Roggar is an ideal, a simple but powerful idea. Freedom matters. For much of human history, government power has been the unavoidable constant in life. Government decrees and the people obey. But not here.

We deserve leaders who stand for principle, who unite us all behind shared values, who cast aside anger for love. That is the standard we should expect from everybody. And to those listening, please, don’t stay silent during this election.

If you love our country, and love your children as much as I know that you do, stand and speak and vote your conscience, endorse candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to true Roggarian values.
That is what I will be doing, and if we all do so we will surely have a leader that will make our nation what our ancestors desired it to be.

Thank you, thank you, and Juras bless every single one of you."

Sons and daughters of Roggar, I believe I speak for all of us when I say it is high time for us to have a Dragon King like the kings of old. Kings who stood up for Roggarian supremacy, for keeping what makes Roggar superior central to our culture and our nation! It's high time we take the sword to the foreign hordes that have terrorized us for centuries!

Think, my countrymen! How long have we been under the heel of some fresh outsider? How long has it been since we have done the conquering, and not simply resisted the conqueror? The Empire be damned, it is time for Roggar to stand as we once did, for us to refocus on what made us great! Our technology, our magic, and our culture!

Support me brothers and sisters, and there will be nothing that stands between us and the manifestation of our destiny as one nation united, spanning the whole of the continent! From sea to glittering sea!

Follow me brethren, and we will use our magical and technological might to bring the Roggarian Empire back to life, and to realize our dreams!

Also waifus for everyone.

We arrive on the 24th in Saidouga, the former capital of the Pirate King, where King Zougo Akajima is currently residing. The city has some ruined parts - it was not too long ago that it was the site of battles. Sea elves were almost all of its denizens a few years ago, but now the King has brought many humans, orcs and demons with him.

We are permitted to see him.
"Ah, fair greetings to you, Roggarians! 20 years ago you visited my grandfather when we had only just won our independence - now, we have won victory. I welcome you in Akeshisu. Come, we have tea."
He brings you to the garden of the Pirate King's Palace, where he is staying to oversee the establishment of a new order in these lands. Servants bring tea as our diplomats sit down with the King and several of his advisers.
"Well, I doubt you came here just for the tea, as good as it is. What does the Empire seek here?"

>>1044618
"We're just stopping by on our way to see whats going on in the south with the new Lizard empire on the rise and decided to see how your kingdom was doing after bringing an end to the pirate menace. It certainly seems like you've done quite well for yourselves."

"Well, I don't know about my comrades here, but I am mighty curious. Killing a titan is no easy task, how'd you do it?"

>>1044618
We are passing through mostly, and came to see how things are going, personally I came along to speak philosophy with any who would listen, and understand.

>>1044618
I wanted to come by and congratulate you on your recent victory over the pirates that have plagued these waters, and the titan that they worshipped.

It is no mean feat what you have accomplished, and I wished to pay my respects on behalf of the Silverhand Cartel as a whole to you and your mighty kingdom.

>>1044618
Personally, I would like to know how the Lectre offices my dear friends the lizardfolk helped my family set up abouy here are doing under your rule. Unfortunately, my allies here reminded me to be polite and make my presence know to you before I snoop about. How is your economy holding up with all the warfare, by the way? I humbly offer my services to whomever in your command requires advice on finances, if you so desire.

>>1044618
"Ah, first we would like to congratulate you for your great victory, it brings much joy to our hearths to see the Akeshisu grow and prosper. The Pirates have been a danger to the seas for far too long. We have heard many stories of your bravery and proves, it takes quite a man to kill a titan, one would be a fool to miss an opportunity to meet such a person. We are journeying to the new upcoming Empire in the south of our continent, and we saw fit to establish better relation with the glorious Akeshisu kingdom, perhaps even an alliance in the future?"

>>1044618
Well good king, as I'm sure you remember our nation deployed quite a bit of manpower and ships 20 years ago in order to assist your people in claiming your freedom.
At that time your noble grandfather declined our sugestion of an alliance as it would be premature before final victory against the pirate menace. An understandable position.

Now, as your people have finally claimed your independence I would like to enquire into your disposition towards negotiating a closer relationship between our people? To call ourselves the ally of the Akeshisu would be the joy of our entire nation.

The answer to that question, you learned, is negative.

Swift winds and guiding tides were with our ships as we journeyed east. In Gajaxlan we learned that the capital of the Rhoznax Empire is the city of Nuzalzex, on the desert's edge.
Our ships reach a port city on the coast, from where we enter the river along which we travel northwards, to the capital. Nuzalzex is a very large and populous city. It is Charodis the 27th when we reach it and it is scorching hot for us Roggarians, though the locals are used to it.
We arrive around noon, sweaty travelers from afar. The river port has just enough space for us, though the docking fee isn't small. Stepping on the streets we move forward and are drawn to crowds of people assembling in a market square ahead of us most cheerfuly. We follow them and see that their awe is directed at a tall temple, atop which a dragon is perched - a Dark Dragon.

We find a large inn, with stables filled with various animals. We enter inside and find enough rooms for our expedition. It is a pleasant temperature here, well furnished and comfortable. You see more foreigners inside this establishment than you saw across the streets - dark elves from Aeldabad, humans from Hasgaldam and lizardmen from all over, primarily.
You've got several hours to rest, we'll go out when the sun is going down and it's getting cooler.
The bar offers varied food, exotic smokeleaf brands and a surprisingly modest range of alcoholic beverages. You see that it's mostly foreigners drinking alcohol here.

A round of freeroaming inside the inn now, rest up well, maybe gather some info or have some fun.

I will chat up the Hasgaldam humans trying to learn about how they have dealt with the loss of Shazam and high elf occupation

>>1045034
I eat some food stuff favored by locals, and see about the selection of non-alcoholic beverages.

Hell of a place we have here, friends. Seems like it also might make a hell of a place to organise mapping expeditions from too... I tell you what. Let me do my thing, flirt with the barkeep or the owner or whoever I need to, see if we cant nab us this place for the kingdom and the Lectres dirt cheap. If I succeed, drinks are on me.

I dunno, I thought I was just having a polite discussion about the this and that of my faith. Like, "We believe that having fun is integral to human health." That sort of thing.

Opinions differ. These are merchants you are speaking to, so their opinions are not necessarily representative of the general public's back home. Taxes aren't harsh and tariffs when trading with the HPE are lower than before and the market is more secure there - they bore you with various matters of trade and economy. As far as religion and morale are concerned, the Pantheonic faith is becoming dominant in that region now. The mundane, everyday life, is not all too different in the end - there's some crime, a bit of corruption, temples tower over people's homes. The humans of Hasgaldam have adapted to the new order over time.

"This is the hottest summer I've ever lived through, I've got to say" says one middle-aged Dark Elf, in his fourth century of life now.
"Trade is going well between here and Aeldabad and I hope relations stay peaceful. We were wondering what the Dark Dragons were doing and here they were all along, forging a new Empire out of scattered tribes and city-states. Well, as long as they're sticking to fighting other lizards, it's fine with me - the spice will flow"

Beautiful horses from Hasgaldam, camels from Aeldabad, turaks from Calmiras, talio from the southern desert and swiftscales from the jungle coast - the ridable creatures in this part of the world are many!

You see an interesting sight - fellow green orcs! Hailing from the Kingdom of Kamborash, he greets you and asks you how Stoman has been guiding your warpath. He and his fellows are mercenaries for the Empire, currently resting after participating in a campaign against the Drezvak. You exchange stories with him - the armies of Rhoznax are vast and obedient, but they need expendable and capable people like them for certain tasks, he says.

Cotton, smokeleaf, pepper, silk and citrus are major exports that are mostly traded with Aeldabad and Hasgaldam. In mundane technology they don't seem to be particularly different from us, but you couldn't gouge their magical abilities other than the fact that golemancy is not as well known here.

Observing your activities, one of the barkeepers quietly leaves the inn - after around 15 minutes dozens of armed men burst in. They surround your (the perpetrators I've linked) group, which is engaging in infidelic activities. You are ordered to surrender yourselves to the Temple Guard.

>>1045258
"Crap...Just surrender lads we don't need an incident on our hands."

>>1045258
Look, friends, this is clearly all a misunderstanding. I was merely going about my business, chatting about property rights and such, as I was contemplating purchasing or investing in this fine establishment. Mayhaps it is my foreign ways that lead to such a mistake in communication, but it was the religious fellow over there that was causing trouble. I will pay whatever needs to be paid for myself and myself alone, you can haul that man off to whatever dank and dingy cell you have for him, and we can all be on our merry ways, eh?

>>1045258
I was just trying to be polite, I'll come along, just don't hurt me for talkin'

>>1045258
I'll let them go on their merry way. I doubt I could sway these nice lizards, and I'm interested in learning more about their religion. I'm off to the market to procure a few copies of whatever holy book they have, and keep an eye out for any interesting magical trinkets.

*Kev pimpslaps Dats Wong*
"What dah fuck did you do!?! I leave you alone for FIVE minutes, trying to get it on with some of these lovely ladies, and you go trying to convert others to your filthy religion! I will have words with your master, DO YOU HEAR ME!"
*Turns to the Temple Guards and speaks through a translator*
"I apologize if our... associate has caused you trouble. As a child, his mother dropped him down a stairwell as part of their culture. We meant no disrespect or harm, and when we get back, I'll make sure he's suitably punished for his transgressions."

>>1045268
After surrendering which probably involves weapons confiscation I'm going to apologize to the guards and explain that I wasn't aware my activities were in violation of there laws.
