WELCOME TO VANDIR


Enter an era of exploration and colonization as the great colonial powers vie for territory, wealth, and power in the small continent of Vandir. Realm of Vandir is a roleplaying server that centers around the themes of discovery, ambition, and grand conflict, with a bit of steampunk and magic mixed in. The story revolves around the colony of New Vanton as she struggles to deal with threats both internal and external: unruly natives, civil unrest, rampant piracy, and the looming threat of war.

And you, what is your place in this story? Will you fight for New Vanton or seek to destroy it? Bring peace to Vandir or join in the onslaught? You make the choice and you make the difference.

IMPORTANT PEOPLE AND ORGANIZATIONS

The Aristocracy : The body of nobles headed by a triumvirate of Lords who rule over the city of New Vanton with a firm hand. Despite their strict governance, the Aristocracy is generally popular with the people of New Vanton. The triumvirate currently consists of the beloved Lord-Governor William Attox IV, the cantankerous Lord of Holy Affairs Bartholomew von Auttenberg, and the young Lord of War Charles Letueur. The laws of the Aristocracy are enforced by the New Vantonian Army and Domestic Guard.

The Church of Notch : The Notchist Church is the dominant religion of New Vanton and serves as the judicial branch of government. It acknowledges the Creator Notch as the main figure of the creation of the world and asserts that the moral fundamentals of his original Code are indisputable. Magic was viewed as a foul practice by Notchists, who believed that meddling in the original creation was dangerous since power could fall into the wrong hands.

The Royal Order of the New Vantonian Inquisition : The Inquisition serves as the hand of the Church and thus wields considerable power. It functions as a secret police whose membership and operations are kept hidden from the public eye, acting above the law to keep rebellion and heresy in check.

The Broker : He is the master of the criminal underworld in New Vanton and deals primarily in the trade of sensitive information. Very few know his identity, but many have sought him out to gain an edge-- for a price.

CURRENT LOCATIONS OF INTEREST


Bilfred & Gravensteen Servants Auction House : The building of New Vanton’s largest supplier of slaves is located near the southern ports. The specialty goods come from all places and are sold at bargain prices so that every master or mistress can find a servant that fits their needs.

The Bounty Hunter’s Guild : Located just across the street from the Capitol, the modest building features a bulletin out front with bounties for the capture of dangerous criminals and the acquisition of rare items.

The Capitol : The seat of the Aristocracy can be found in the middle of the southern portion of the walled city. The New Vantonian flag flies proudly atop its dome.

Carraway Prison: Situated just half a mile from the western coastline, Carraway houses a full complement of guards and patrol ships to ensure that the dregs of society don’t escape their miserable sentence.

Kivil Stadium : Erected in honor of the late Guard-Captain Kivil, the stadium sits in the northeastern countryside and hosts regular games, parades, circuses, and gladiatorial fights

First Academy of New Vanton : .This University was founded in New Vanton by the Scholars and Scientists who were looking to avoid the regulations and restrictions placed upon advancement by the other countries, it is a bastion for those seeking knowledge and don’t wish for prying eyes. It is located in New Vanton near the harbourside and in the more affluent area of the city. Tuition fees are known to be high, but exceptions have known to be made.

Ruins of Kalath-kur : This once proud orc stronghold used to stand guard over the Westvale Range and Oresund Valley. On the 13th of Sonipes, 1561, New Vantonian forces under the command of Lord Letueur himself annihilated the Kalath and laid waste to the settlement with cannon fire.

Saint Bergensten’s Church : Located in the northwestern corner of the walled city, the Church is one of the oldest structures in New Vanton. Citizens gather here in the mornings and afternoons on days when they have time off from work.

The Slums: The increasing influx of migrants from the West and the lack of available homes in the city gave rise to the mass of shanty houses that now choke New Vanton’s ports. In fact, the slums are first destination for many new arrivals to the city, and it’s common to have belongings stolen as one tries to pass through. The Aristocracy isn’t too concerned with fixing the problem, however, as the slums have become a ready source of desperate migrants looking for work.

Westvale Range & Oresund Valley: .The Westvale Range is a lush and difficult to traverse mountain range consisting of a valley and a number of gorges that separates New Vanton from the rest of the Vahlen frontier. It contains a number of small towns and Mount Harlage, one of the largest mountains in Vandir

GRAND CONFLICT - The Factions


The New Vanton Aristocracy: Founded by Eddard Banhart Cardinal on Vandir’s west coast ~ over 130 years before the events of RP, New Vanton has become the metropolitan centerpiece of the new world. Aesthetically, New Vanton borrows from real-world 1700s New England with various French and German incorporated into daily language.

The Cirikan Dominions: The fatherland of New Vanton-- a hegemony of powerful Western kingdoms under the rule of the Cirikan Church in Belvis (analogous to the Vatican). Although it grants New Vanton unprecedented autonomy due its distance overseas, the Cirikan is incrementally exerting pressure on New Vanton to expand to the entirety of Vandir and convert its people to the faith. Cirikite aesthetics are 1700s German with dark, somber tones, almost gothic.

The Admiralty of Gallica: The affluent and far-reaching thalassocracy of the Gallican people. Gallica has historically been a close ally to New Vanton and owns a smaller colony just North of the city called Barquiel; however, her important figures are mostly guided by self interest and profit. Along with considerable wealth, the Admiralty boasts the largest and most powerful navy in the world and holds a monopoly on the production of airship technology. Gallican aesthetics take on early 1800s French designs with extra embellishments.

The Vandyrian Confederation : A former enemy and current ally of New Vanton. The Vandyrians are an ethnic group of dwarves who inhabit the mountains directly east of the city and from whom the continent gets its name. They’ve banded together with the Domi (a tribe of elves that also opposed New Vanton in the past) to preserve their sovereignty in the face of growing human domination. Currently, the Vandyrians greatly resemble New Vanton in terms of culture with greater emphasis on artisan craftsmanship.

The Esparan Empire: A foreign power hailing from the East that dominates the lands around the Welling Sea and has its own colony, San Martin, in East Vandir. The Esparans are the primary obstacle to New Vanton’s expansion and are renowned as masters of battle, having consistently bested New Vanton’s forces despite lacking guns. An uneasy armistice had held between the two sides for a hundred years, but recent events are pushing the peace to a breaking point. In terms of aesthetics, the Esparan Empire has many subcultures that range from Imperial Roman, to East Asian, to Colonial Mesoamerican; the common language is Spanish with wildly varying accents and dialects.

The Fey Federation: A large union of ethnic Fey (elf) kingdoms inhabiting North Vandir that exists as a protectorate of the Esparan Empire. The leadership of the Fey are eugenicists who refuse to acknowledge even the Esparans as equals, and they insist that the other elf tribes in Vandir pay tribute to them. Currently, trade between the Fey and the Vandyrians is the only communication between East and West Vandir.

Jhabiri States: A set of states in the Badlands, including Kitti, Jhabir, and Ahmerdad, which are coveted by the New Vanton Aristocracy, among other forces. The Jhabiri States are constantly fighting each other and selling their captives off to Western buyers. The New Vanton Aristocracy currently does not recognise them as true nations, and as such is at war with them, even going so far as to attack Kitti.

Kingdom of Gweriniaeth: A country of song in the southeastern part of Vandir that is currently dealing with a civil war. Currently ruled by a set of Nobles, individuals from this faction include Hugo Blanc, etc. The nobility is currently in crisis.

Hey you there stop that!” The thug would push him back. “Guess who’s the new victim ere’?” He’d push the simple scientist around a bit. Jacob would draw one of his new inventions a small device of unknown origin. “You could hit me but let me warn you, This is very unstable.” The thug would begin to look nervous. “Unstable?” Jacob would continue after that “I’m a member of the First Academy and you happened to be in my way on my way home.

Something to due with underground research facilities exploding. Don’t know if it’s true.” Shaw would get a small grimace. “Thank you” as he’d get up without drinking and leave.
  • “Very well I was simply walking home from the academy.” The Guards would simply question him about his actions lately and he’d report the muggers from early and that would be that as they held him until morning and when he answered everything the same he sent him on his way.

Have you read and agreed to the rules?: Yes

What is roleplaying?: Roleplaying is a very loose term and a lot of players like to describe it differently; I for example, think that roleplaying is when you create a character, or take an already existing character, and play as them. You can go on adventures, meet new friends in roleplay, and you basically act out everything that is happening as if it were a movie or a tv show or real life.

What is metagaming?: Metagaming is the action of using real life information for your own benefit (e.g. If you know that somebody is out to kill you in OOC, and then IRP you go and kill them instead or you leave the server and never come back).

What is powergaming?: Powergaming is when you make your character over powered without reasoning or roleplay backing.

Any questions?: Yes, is there a discord? If so, please add me on it Zephoros#5071 as I am on there much more than here

Rules Agree:Yes
Roleplaying is putting oneself in the role of the character, I really am not sure how to respond to this.
Metagaming is using outside knowledge that the player might know.
Powergaming is maximizing ones efficiency to move towards a specific goal even at the cost of forging other players.




Full Name:Strings
Alias:
Race:Testificans
DOB:1544/05/24
LOB:
Nationality:Growing up in The Slums.
Affiliation:The Admiralty of Gallica
Appearance: That of patched cloth weaved together with only a stare to indicate any symbol that it is alive. The cut off nose from an accident covered hiding the racial appearance of the testificate, many mistake it to be closer to a human because of this.
Personality:The character is cold to the evil of the world, actively seeking the riches in a pursuit of passion from the rich willing to make this goal at any cost, but along the way will show emotion to the fellow poor soul among them.
History:
The character took on the issue of looking for work trying to scrape by with their family growing up.
Their mother passed away from the temperature at their age of 13.
The dream of riches and gold so far out of reach seeming to be held by those above them by the rich industrial giants profiteering off of the suffering of the poor.
This will stick with the character who will seek their revenge for their sense of being held down.
After many an injury sewing the wounds up in string has theft the appearance of only a set of rags with a piercing gaze of life left to stare back at the cold industry that has made it.
Skills, Trades, and Crafts:Chimney cleaner, Brick layer, Metal refiner, Airship parts crafter, Mercenary, and currently pursuing Bandit.

CHARACTER APPLICATION


Full Name: Abungu Euryleia


Alias(es): Abu


Gender: Female


Race: Human


D.O.B: (07-23-1543)


L.O.B: ---


Nationality: Abuntu grew up lower-middle class, and knowing much of nature and the forest. She descends from a line of skilled crafts and nature-men.


Affiliation: Probably Jhabiri States and The Esparan Empire


Appearance: Tanned skin, Dark brown eyes and dark brown hair. Womanly figure, but slim.


Personality: Abuntu is a rather optimistic girl, but stubborn. Believes everyone has a soul, and it was given by mother nature. Her moral compass is strong but her methods of dealing with issues are often thought of as childish and stupid. Traumatic experiences caused her to fight fear with childishness.


History: Abuntu grew up the second youngest of six sisters and brothers, knowing the feeling of going to bed hungry after a hard day of labor. As a child she became determined to see life in a more optimistic way which is the reason for her bubbly aura. As a teenager Abuntu began saving and stashing away extra money so one day she could finally travel to and live in the capitol. At age 17 her father died and her mother began to sell her body to make ends meet, but Abuntu continued to hold onto her dream despite all her grief, thinking of her brothers and sisters to keep her going.



Character Reactions:


[Respond to the following scenarios, in character and third person.]
  • You are walking down the streets of the city of New Vanton, as you turn a corner, you see a lady being harassed by a would-be thug near the entrance to an alleyway, with the man blocking her exit. The lady, although not calling out for help, certainly looks like she needs it. However, there are also several other bystanders passing by, who knows if they’ll help though?

Looking around to see if anyone will help, Abuntu slowly creeps forward tiptoeing to try and hear the conversation.

“Um, excuse me? Sir?” She taps on his shoulder and he turns, “Sorry to interrupt, but I think you need to give the lady some space. She’s looks scared, probably of the dark.”
  • You walk into the Golden Keg, a local bar & restaurant in New Vanton, you are free to sit anywhere, but first you must order your drinks. Walking up to the bar counter, the barkeep turns around, polishing a mug, and asks ‘Whad’ya like?’

“Hi! How are you? I’ll have anything cheap and sweet! Also, what are some options for food here?” Abuntu leans against the counter a full grin sporting her face.
  • A local guard approaches you, after dusk, explaining that you are in violation of the curfew set on the city after the recent bombings and other events. He asks you to follow him to the station for questioning, how do you respond?

“Oh um, I’m sorry. I didn’t know about the curfew.” She kicks the ground with the tip of her shoe, “Is there any way you could let it slide? This is my first time in the city and I don’t want to cause any trouble.”

CHARACTER APPLICATION



Full Name: Cola Paolo Crispino de Savina



Alias(es): Cola; Cola Crispino



Gender: Male



Race: Human



D.O.B: 23-12-1539



L.O.B: Savina, The Great Expanse



Nationality: Crispino “Nobility”



Affiliation: Likely the Esparan Empire



Appearance: Long dark hair, dark brown eyes, and light, but tan skin.



Personality: Very headstrong and a little arrogant, but generally kind-hearted and well-meaning. He has a slight sense of entitlement, and is VERY ambitious.



History: Cola grew up on a small, maritime island estate deep in the Great Expanse called Savina. For generations, Savina had been run as a dictatorial monarchy under the Crispino family, who were flush with wealth from their sugar business. Cola, being next in line to inherit the island, lived an easy, yet well structured and highly educated life. He was taught in the arts, as well as literature, mathematics, and even combat, but lacked little knowledge of the real world, outside of his sheltered island utopia. Cola’s father Eugenio was betrayed and killed by his brother Dominic, who fled the island with the all of the family’s wealth, and a small personal army. Cola followed Dominic’s fleet east. But when an early morning fog gave Dominic the opportunity, he struck, firing on and sinking his nephew’s ship. When Cola finally reached land, he could barely make out his Uncle’s fleet on the horizon, and he was stranded, alone in an unfamiliar land.



Character Reactions:


  • You are walking down the streets of the city of New Vanton, as you turn a corner, you see a lady being harassed by a would-be thug near the entrance to an alley way, with the man blocking her exit. The lady, although not calling out for help, certainly looks like she needs it. However, there are also several other bystanders passing by, who knows if they’ll help though?



The lady was attractive, Cola thought to himself, and it certainly looked like she could use some help. But the brute was armed, and he was definitely a strong looking fellow. Cola looked around, and it didn’t seem as if anyone else had noticed, or cared enough to help the poor maiden. Screw it, he decided, he didn’t really much to lose anymore. He ran across the street lightly, walked up behind the man, and putting his hand on the thug’s shoulder asked

“Is everything alright over here, miss?”


  • You walk into the Golden Keg, a local bar & restaurant in New Vanton, you are free to sit anywhere, but first you must order your drinks. Walking up to the bar counter, the barkeep turns around, polishing a mug, and asks ‘Whad’ya like?’



“Wine. Sweet, but strong. Also, do you serve food?”


  • A local guard approaches you, after dusk, explaining that you are in violation of the curfew set on the city after the recent bombings and other events. He asks you to follow him to the station for questioning, how do you respond?



“Oh, sorry, sir, I was unaware. I can assure you though, it will not happen again!”

Avoiding eye contact, Cola gave a small wave with his hand and turned quickly to walk away.

Have you read and agreed to the rules?
I assume so, if they are the same rules as most Roleplay servers have, I agree.

What is roleplaying?
To me Roleplaying is that you can have a character, which I personally think of them as a person not just a thing. It is where you can be someone else and be in their shoes, see what they see react how they would act.

What is metagaming?
Metagaming to me is for Ex: James (I am just using random names) tells his friend that he is going to go kill Jimmy and then James friend tells Jimmy that he is going to get attack then so Jimmy now knows that so he will not be there and will go into hiding. That is one of many examples of what I think is meta gaming, there are a few others.

What is powergaming?
To me Power gaming is that again using examples, that Ethan was going to fight with his friend in character (IC) and so Ethan emotes things IC and doesn't let his friend be able to defend himself IC like he emotes and emotes and doesn't let his friend have a turn and such like that.

Anything else you'd like to share?
Nothing really.
