Lantara expansions and additions, mini-game/project
This one is fairly simple. Download Caravan to Ein Arris, if you haven't already done so. Read the brief world info/background sidebar and notes. Look over the map. Make stuff and post it, following the rules below: Rules:
Some discrepancies will no doubt arise. We may chalk that up to the mutable nature of travelers' tales shared around the night-fires in the caravanserai.
Feel free to look beyond North Africa and the Near East for historical models. Tricks like some kind of flash powder or naptha weapons are fine, but if gunpowder weaponry exists it will be in its infancy.

One of the religious strictures for the nobility is exogamy. Children born during the night are considered noble and must follow the commandments of their noble caste, while children born during the day inherit their status from the other parent. Marrying one of the old blooded aristocracy is very prestigious and religiously and symbolically important though. This intermarriage justifies much of the merchants power. Cathos navy is, not surprisingly, excellent and may be the most powerful in Lantara, but they rely on mercenaries for almost all of their ground troops. The Catharan religion is..." |
