History and the empires-
100 years after the last events of FF IX, the population of Gaia has grown dozens of times. The precedent towns and villages have grown in to empires and great kingdoms. Also, from the time when Zidane was crowned as the king of Alexandria, the new era started: The Era of Light. It's now the 100th year of The Era of Light. The world is waiting for war, the first preparations have been made. The new powerful empire, run by aggressive king and populated with aggressive citizens, Oeilvert is preparing for war. Their first target will be Daguerro, without a doubt. Tho, the mist continent is still the most populated and civilized continent as one should presume, but the others are not far behind, with three main kingdoms:
The Empire of Alexandria, ruled by The Gray Emperor Zidane Tribal ( left the Alexandria at 94th year EOL. No-one knows where he went, but rumors told that he went back to Terra and died there) for 90 years ( Called the Gray, because being the longest ruling king of Alexandria), a proud and pure-heart ruler who made the Alexandria Kingdom in to real blooming civilization together with the Empress Garnet Alexandros The Holy (died at year 91th EOL, one year after the retirement of her and his husband), one of the two big summoners who saved the summoner tribe from extinction .
The capital is Alexandria City, what once was a moderate town, now one of the biggest and richest cities in whole Mist Continent. The most beautiful and ancient looking city in Mist Continent if not in the world with the biggest castle what ever has been built ( The old castle remains, but new one was built few miles away from old one at 34th year of EOL).
Also Dali, a little farming village from before now has grown in to the biggest entertainment town, being now twice as big, as Alexandria was 50 years ago and containing many famous buildings. Also known as the City of Chocobos, as it's the biggest Chocobo breeding city, containing the biggest arenas of Chocobo Racing in whole Gaia.
The empire is ruled by the oldest son of Zidane Tribal, Kuja Alexandros Tribal I. A good-hearted and powerful king. ( Total Population of Alexandria empire around 52 000 - 54 000)
The Kingdom Of Burcmeria- The land of mysteries, dwarfs and dragoons, land of adventures and science.
The kingdom capital is Burcmeria, the home of all dragoons. The empress Freya Crescent together with his man, King Fratley, have build up the great city of Burcmeria which now holds the four highest and biggest towers in whole Gaia, the Great Dragon Towers, originally build for holding the biggest airships that Lindblum built but in few years they grew in to the economy and political centers of whole Mist Continent.
The West and South Tower are the public towers, where there are great markets, shops, hotels and the traveling companies. The North Tower is the air-dock and residence of the Royals, where only the highest Dragon Knights are allowed to enter and where the Royal Cruise ships stop and the Royal warships locate. The East Tower is used as a war-tower. Most of the warships are located there and the big part of military lives in there.
For now, the great kingdom is ruled by the King Lancelot, the grandson of Freya and Fratley. He is known as wise and powerful king and as strong as no-one else in Burcmeria and as smart as the smartest scholars of whole Burcmeria. A great king indeed.
In the area, where once had grown the tree of Cleyra, now lies the great city of Cleyra, being almost as big as Alexandria. It is the true center of wisdom and knowledge. The biggest universities are located in Cleyra and the smartest of smartest live in Cleyra. All the children of nobles learned/ are learning and studied/ are studying in Cleyra. Cleyra is known also as the home of magic together with Black Mages village.
The Kingdom of Burcmeria was still having tough times, even if it was as great it was. The war against Empire of Oilevert and Kingdom of Ipsen made Burcmeria having great casualties and suffering. ( Total population around 54 000 -55 000 )
The Empire of Lindblum was and is the biggest of all Mist Continent empires. It possessed a big part of Mist Continent and the Lost Continent, now known as The Island of Snow.
The capital of Lindblum empire is Lindblum, the biggest city of Mist Continent which now is covering most of the mountain where it is laying.
The Empire ruled over Burcmeria until 11th year of EOL when Burcmeria king Fratley made a contract with Lindblum.
The Regent Cid Fabool IX had peaceful relationship with Burcmeria and other kingdoms, but soon after the death of Regent Cid Fabool IX ( 14th year EOL) when mistress Eiko left to Madain Sari to revive the tribe of summoners, the prince Cid Fabool X killed Hilda and started a war against Burcmeria which finally ended at 75th year EOL with the defeat of Lindblum.
During the war with Bulcmeria, Lindblum conquered Daguerro ( at 11th year EOL) from Burcmeria (which got independent at 29th EOL) and the Island of Snow at 25th year EOL. The new areas and conquests brought glory to Lindblum and even if it was the center of Mist Continent before, it now played even bigger role in the world and one could say that it was the capital of Gaia.
Now, for last 20 years, Lindblum has lived peacefully and returned to it's former glory in terms of wealth.
(The airforce of Lindblum was the most powerful army in whole Gaia. Only the ships of Burcmeria and Oeilvert combined could beat the number of Lindblum airships, but not in power. Now, it is almost as big as it was)
(Total Population around 124 000- 135 000 )
Treno- the only neutral city in Mist Continent. It still is the city of nightlife and nobles, possessing great amount of political power. It contains the biggest auction houses, couple of chocobo racing arenas, amphitheaters and many-many more entertainment and noble buildings.
(Total Population around 15 000- 17 000 as most of the people in Treno don't actually live there)
The Outer Continent, now divided in to three states:
Western Outer Continent -
Condie Petie state, a low developed state with low population (around 7 000 total). Ruled by the Head Minister Terrou Petie II, a low educated man.
The Condie Petie state is one of the biggest farming regions tho as it exports food to everywhere.(They are using most of the healthy land they have as there are many deserts). It's like spain or something in early middle-age.
The capital is Condie Petie as there are only some villages besides that town. It is also known as a chocobo paradise because the chocobos raised there are ten times cheaper than ones in Mist Continent but only half as slow or even less. (Total population around 7 000 - 8 000 )
Eastern Outer Continent- The land of Mages.
The village of mages grew in to a big magical city, now filled with around 40 000 citizen, is the richest and strongest city in Outer Continent. The easter part of city( once known as mages village) is now the Royal ground of Mages. Only the rich and powerful live there and only mages. No matter how rich a man is, he never can enter it.
The Grandmage Vivi VIII also lives there and it is the home of Prince Vivius I. He is the ruler of East Outer Continent. The black mages seem to have many times shorter life than the humans, so there have been already 14 kings after Great Grandmage Vivi I.
Tho, the far eastern part of Eastern Outer Continent are unpopulated, besides few villages that are located there. ( Total population around 44 000 - 50 000 )
The Madain Sari-
The Holy Land, as it is called by many, is the home of summoners. Madain Sari is surely the most beautiful and one of the wonders of architecture. It's ruled by Matilda The Holy II, a wise, but still young summoner. The citizens are mostly magicians and the followers of summoners. In total population around 3 000 citizen, only about 40 to 45 are summoners. The state itself is well respected and looked as a strong and powerful nation.( Because of the powers of the summoners. 30 summoners together could fight against 5 000 airships evenly.)
The lost Continent or the Esto Gaze Kingdom/ The Island of Snow-
It's ruled by Lindblum for long time now and thanks to it the biggest city of The Lost Continent, Esto Gaza has grown in to big center of not only the island, but even world. Of course, because it controls one of the biggest ports in whole Gaia which can hold in up to 300 ships. They were built by the army of Oeilvert, but were soon abandoned. (Esto Gaza is also known as holy land, and many religious people travel to there to free themselves from sins). (Total population around 14 000- 17 000)
The Forbidden Continent, now known as The Dark Land-
In year 12th EOL, a strange tribe populated Oeilvert and also many of them went to live in Ipsen city which was already discovered and populated by Bulcmeria because it possessed great gold and silver mines which brought wealth to whole Mist Continent.
By 20th year EOL, the Oeilvert acknowledged themselves as the Kindgom of Ancients and soon conquered the southern areas of Forbidden continent ( Except Daguerro). These events didn't concern anyone except Daguerreo but they could do nothing against it as they hadn't any great army yet.
By 40th year EOL, the kingdom of Oeilvert first started to reveal themselves to civilized world. At first they destroyed the kingdom of Ipsen which had been under the control of Lindblum only about for a year as they had conquered it from Burcmeria at 39th year EOL. That event started the long war of Oeilvert against Lindblum and Alexandria. Known as the war for Independence.
The kingdom of Ancients attacked Esto Gaza with powerful navy( someting around 500 ships and 100 airships). They controlled Esto Gaza for 2 years and in that time they built the biggest shipyard ever built. But then, Alexandria and Lindblum united forces started attacking Oeilvert and that was the reason that Kingdom of Ancients abandoned Esto Gaza.(Lindblum took it back half year later) Alexandria and Lindblum lost the war for now and promised not to defend Daguerroe if Oeilvert attacks it.
Alexandria stepped out from the war but once Oeilvert attacked Daguerro, Lindblum attack Oeilvert. That war weakened Lindblum a lot, even if Lindblum conquered most of the Forbidden Continent together with Ispen's kingdom, (Lindblum lost all areas by 74th year EOL when they were losing the war against Burcmeria). Kingdom of Ispen was recreated and Oeilvert once again ruled the middle and southern areas of Forbidden continent.
Now, the kingdom of ancients call themselves as Empire of Oeilvert. They are currently planning to conquer Daguerreo.
Oeilvert is now ruled by Emperor Braccus Brutus Devastator. A evil and powerful king who doesn't care about anything besides his glory and wealth. ( Total population should be around 50 000, but not known exactly,as the Empire doesn't let other nation travelers in).
Kingdom of Ispen-
A powerful country, the ally of Oeilvert.
It's the famous land of gold, silver and wealth. Thousands of merchants from all over the world trade and mine in there. The kingdom is ruled by King Thorogor The Evil. The city itself is pretty dirty and dusty, but chocobo races are popular there too as they are almost everywhere around the world. Even if the chocobos there cost twice as much as they do in Dali, they are not a bit better than the Dali chocobos. (Total population around 52 000- 64 000 )
Main story-
The Empire of Oeilvert and Kingdom of Ispen are starting to be a serious threat to civilized continents. The technology is starting to take over the role of magic. The world now is more populated than ever before and that is a serious threat to world itself, as now wars would be much more devastating than ever before. The beautiful life from before is now dying out as cities now contain hundreds of thieves, murderers, assassins and many more. The structure of world is falling together, but could you stop it? Or will you help to end the world? It's your choice!
NB! It's a pretty much free roleplay and that means you may do what you wish. Hang around bars and inns, do some dirty job, live as a mercenary or merchant or be the evil villain. Tho, the main storyline will be set soon and everything what happens in the world will most-likely have effect on your lifestyle as well the things you do may affect everything else.
Rules of Roleplay-
No Godmodding,
No world blowing up,
No powerplaying,
Be cool and have fun,
No one-liners. Try to give as much effort as possible to your post. After doing it, everyone will enjoy it more, even you.
