There once was a time when gods and people walked the earth together. Your clan traces its ancestry back to those times. Your clan history begins when you joined the forces of the storm god Orlanth. Back then, Orlanth was simply one of many upstart, rebellious gods bent upon conquest of the world. Orlanth's unique contributions at the time were personal honor and a close kinship to the other deities who seemed to be on the winning side.

Also, I'll put stuff from me here in spoiler text. Unspoilered text is some form of IC as the Ring Speaker, I suppose.

Mutants & Masterminds is /tg/ related, DC and Marvel both have their own RPG systems (though the quality of those is very much a subjective thing)

Pottery has been an integral part of our clan since its earliest beginnings, and thus our craftsmen are amongst the best and most productive in the land.

Another important event in our long and proud history was when we met the Nalda Bin, the Stick-Farmers. Did we accept them as equals, or take them as work-thralls?

But since this clan generation, we can change it at the end. Bear-hunting got popular, it seems.

There was some debate on how much we should take, but in the end we claimed a good portion of the area around us. Defense may be an issue, though, and if we ever need more lands, perhaps we could take some from a neighbor we dislike?

And now the Dark season snows melt away and the Storm winds blow less frequently. Sacred Time will soon be upon us, but before we dedicate our magics for the year, the most important question of all must be settled: What name will be recorded as the best and most prosperous of all clans in Dragon Pass?

Counting down to shitstorm...

>>24999656
Maybe so, but for ones like this and the upcoming revote, I wanted there to be plenty of time for discussion.

>>24999616
No - just the only sane choice.

>>24999685
Skybears, was it?

>>24999685
>Maybe so, but for ones like this and the upcoming revote, I wanted there to be plenty of time for discussion.
Thank you for that.

As for the name, I propose : THE ARISTOCRATS.

>>24999952
Oh gods yes...
I do... everyone thought he was stupid at first...
oh no...it's raining.

I can't help think we should have some kind of name that links our main deity and our first recorded great event.

Elmal, loyal god of horses - associated with gold.

And pottery. Potentially something to do with the heat of a kiln?

"Stallion Hearth"? There's Stag Hearths out there, so there's that for our authenticity.

Or maybe something like "Gilded Roan".

I'unno.

Pottery? Really? It's the worst election. Better to hunt the bear.

>>24999977
We're a fire clan, pottery.

Pananalings, after the god of the pottery fire? One of the fire tribe who was tamed by his wife Pella.

>>24999934

>>25000010

Drawing inspiration from Orlanth and Elmal, our new clan called itself the Sky Sons. With such a noble and proud name to unite under, the everlasting glory of our clan is assured.

You have no fucking clue how happy I am that you didn't go with something bear-related.

Now, these stories have been passed down through countless generations to us today. Some contest their veracity, while others hold true to tradition. How much stock do we put in the ancient tales?

So basically, the way this will work is that you can re-vote on any one thing per post. Please, again, no samefagging. If this post gets more votes for something than it did the first time, the new choice wins. Otherwise, we stick with the old one. For instance, three votes can change our first event, while five votes can change our opinion on dragonkin.

>>24999934
Really, you think so? I like it second only to Lhankor Mhy finds the Truth, myself.

What? No, I'm talking about the clan background. Choosing the fucking pots as your famous event is quite literally worthless.

>>25000062
seconding the skybear. we need some bear in our clan, it's sorely missing.

>>25000031
>You have no fucking clue how happy I am that you didn't go with something bear-related.
That would have been... unbearable.

I'm fine with all as it is.

How didn't you know about the Runic Men?
We had regular threads for what must have been months.
Can there ever be a bigger badass than Swen?

>>25000096
what do you expect from a clan that doesn't accept Orlkarnth as their spiritual liege?

>>25000062

Yeah, Skybear it is.

>>25000096
Typically, I like to have as many crafters as possible. So potter's not too bad.

>>25000118

I've only been around about a year or so. Not exactly an oldfag.

Can we be an Elmal clan?

>>25000151
We are.

>>25000156

We're already an Elmal clan.

Skybear it is, then.

>>25000070
>>25000077
>>25000085

We can do a long game, sure. Or a higher difficulty one, too. I just had it on short and easy because that's what I usually play. Got it set to Long now, do we want to up the difficulty, too?

>>25000195
Eh, easy's probably fine. We'll end up raging if we get raped, after all.

>>25000195
I'm all for a bit more of challenge. Medium it's it.

>>25000195
we might be able to do it on normal, but whatever you do, not hard. because >>25000208 is right.
but if we are going to make a new legendary clan, the opposition has to be powerful enough to make it a worthy legend, that's what really forges heroes.
>medium diff, what are we, carls?

>>25000241
Nah, Carls are medium, thanes are hard.

Cottars are easy.

>>25000241
Medium probably makes us carls.

What would the progession be? Cottar > Carl > Thane?

>>25000195
Long game on medium, then.

I vote hard, since working as a team is far easier than playing by yourself, so you might as well make the game difficult somehow.

>>25000273
>>25000274
>>25000279
oh, fuck, now we're carls.

>>25000287
Did we play on normal last time? If so then definitely go hard.

>>25000287
This game its so complex and has so many insta-kills for that. We will suffer a lot even in medium to make it a prosperous clan.

Seems that a Medium game is up to most people's tastes. Got the Skyboar hunt up there, too, and the mistakes fixed.

I'm going to allow for another 10 minutes of extra voting, but after that point, we are getting this show on the road with what I've got posted here.

Medium is fine. Hard is pretty much pointing your ass towards Snakepipe Hollow and spreading your cheeks.

I think we're all pretty much agreed, so maybe we should talk about what to do first?

Exploring our Tula, maybe?

>>25000386
Heroquest for an artefact before we grow attached to our leaders

>>25000400
I'd only heroquest if we get a trickster from the very start.

>>25000386
Gift all our cattle to our sworn enemy.

>>25000386

Reorganizing the Clan Ring is pretty much the first thing you always so, so that.

>>25000417
No, food.
Sacrifice all our cattle to Eurmal instead.

Spend all our magic on children

>>25000496
Is this really such a bad idea? Children grow up to be militia.

>>25000517
But until they grow big they'll eat all our food while being completely useless

>>25000517

Children don't work, so they're just useless extra mouths to feed.

>>25000527
I'm reasonably sure we can feed our children.

>>25000463

We've been blessed by Elmal to have a good harvest without spending magic on it. Then again, at this point, we need as much food as we can get to stabilize our stores. Not much was brought with us from Heortland. I'm not sure what to make of this hideous laughter, either.

Many members of the ring suggest allocating magic to Crops, Herds and Health. Others point out that we've done no heroquests yet, especially none to our patron god. How will we dedicate our magic?

For the magic, just post one type of magic that you want to favor. For each point of magic we have, I'll consider one post. If we're already capped out on one form of magic, I'll ignore further posts of that type. Remember to link your votes to my post.

Here are all the clans we know of in the area.

Wolf Clan are our allies, while the Peluskis and Vostangs long despise us.

We've agreed to call upon the aid of the Arnorings, Blue Spruces, Boskovis, Karandolis, Kardarvis, Orlevings, Rakstantis, and the Taralings. We're in debt to the whole damn valley, it feels like.

The Blackrock Clan, the Oak Tree Clan, and the Osgosi clans are in our debt, though, if we need assistance. They're honor-bound to help us if possible.

Right now, we regularly send our goods to Eagle Clan and Narri Clan for sale. We small profits, which is better than none at all if you ask me. The points we spent in Trading magic already have seemed to work.

Also, we possess Blacktail the Bull, a stud of great and wide reknown. With him mounting our cows, our herds will swell prodigiously.

Finding out what nobles are good and putting them in the ring is the best part of early micromanagement in KoDP.

Overall, our nobles are generally skilled with Animals and Combat. Fitting, given we helped Orlanth take down the Sky Bear.

In my opinion, Garstal and Korlaman are prime leadership material, fit to be kings and clan leaders once they get some hair on their chest. Garstal has better leadership, while Korlaman's knowledge of magic is amongst the best in the clan.

Of course, Kenstrel's position as a trickster will be useful, if we desire it.

Renalda, Enastarra, Enastankos, Rangor are excellent farming consultants.

Valensta is the only one remotely equipped to do any sort of trade. She's the only worshipper of Issiaries, as well.

Ernaldess, Angorri, and Voskandora are our best war-leaders and explorers.

Kulbrast and Endal would make great poets and masters of crafting on the ring. Kulbrast also venerates Lhankor Mhy, if we want to give him tribute.

Hankorl is the only worshipper of Chalana Arroy amongst our lords as well.

>>25001255
Angorri and Arene have the highest leadership, one of them should be chief to avoid a potential coup. I pick Angorri because lol sexism
