I require some cultural information for *shifty eyes* things

Post by Oroigawa Koreyasu »

I need some general cultural information about Kildare (because I'm too lazy to actively look for it). Popular customs, quirks, unique qualities, the like.

I just...

How many requests for detailed info can one duchy stand?

But on a basic level I can tell you we used to be famous for military. Currently we're famous for magic, history and being ridiculously active. We were formed from the ashes of the last of several Apollo Sector merges (I finally read Scott's history today), and many counties, especially in Antya, bear testimony to this (Old Hallucination, Kitanus Fields, Raynor Isles and Melangia are, I believe, uniquely Kildarian).

I can give you quirks and customs of Melangia - they're all historians, tend to be very methodical and not like stories, and worship this strange Squid God which bears absolutely no resemblance to a certain Hyperborean ... :document

I don't need detailed info, I need something that can be exaggerated to the point of ridiculousness...

So the basic stuff wasn't helpful?

Have you considered Envisionism? Where 1/2 the population are powerful illusions created by the Baron?
Or did you know that Ryvenna is actually the demi-goddess of Kink?

I didn't say the basic stuff wasn't helpful. I just said I need general stuff that's easy to work with and twist to my needs.

This extra stuff is definitely helpful, though. :evil

Apart from stuff I invented after I got here, that about exhausts my Kildarian knowledge ...

Broken (plaster) columns! Animatronic squids! Thin, poorly-researched books about history that nobody reads!
Where 1/2 the population are powerful illusions created by the Baron?
LSD! Photographs of trees in cheap picture frames!
Or did you know that Ryvenna is actually the demi-goddess of Kink?
PG-rated kink! Peekaboo with trees!

Maybe you can take a look here: http://subdivisions.shireroth.org/kildare/

Kildare was the third duchy that was formed in Shireroth (I think after Brookshire and Goldshire and just before Elwyn). We are in fact a farmer community and industry is only centralised in some parts of Blackrock.
We have some elves governing the BLACKROCK BANK... sorry... to detailed...

One of our most famous animals is the MagiGARP, it's an animal like the pokemon Magicarp. We have Lake Christoph, Lake Odnum and the Antya River as most important Kildarian river.
We have at least two conlangs: Written Halluci and the conlang of Gryphon the Pure (you can find it on our website)


EDIT: And Soloralism!
From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

...I think your idea for that third one may be more appropriate than mine (although mine will probably also happen too)!

This is all lovely! YAY!
