I'm good with the 5 days of celebration, too. Though I think my people might change their meaning to fit their needs and decided to celebrate something else some decades ago.

Ah, ok, I must have missed that part ;)

The main thread for the little archipelago to the east. I'll try to come up with a working name and write something about it this week, have been a little busy with exams so far. Please sticky :D

I think it might be sufficient to have some of the nations, or even just one, use calender X. As long as we all agree that the date is now 311 on said calendar, we have a fixed point on which to set our timelines, even though they might use a different calendar which perhaps even started before...

I am always interested in seeing new fantasy races. However, I think often, they are not too well done and are very reminiscent of the classical races like Orcs and Elves, only that they now have weird sounding names. So if it's not something very different, I usually prefer the classical stuff...

People of Negelovach! My dear Father, may he rest in peace, though a respectable and noble man, has left our province undeveloped and our precious ressources unused. Thus, it will be my first aim to direct our common efforts to appreciate and use the natural gifts God[Sun?] gave us. Last...

Yeah, if possible, I'd like to become editor of these small islands :) Will start working on them soon.

Thanks for the info. I will read through the whole thread once I got more time next week, I just thought I'd ask for the general rules to see if it is something for me first :) As I see it, the group of small island to the far right is still available?

Once upon a time, courtrooms seem to have been interesting. For the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925, people even erected new telegraph masts to cover it, if I remember correctly. I think the story sound pretty interesting.

I started planning my book 5 years ago, and after several futile attempts to come up with something at all before, I decided to just create some characters I would like and brainstorm a classic plot in one night. So I did, and since then didn't really read it anymore untill a few days ago (as I...

Is there still some island left? I'm still a little busy studying at the moment, but this will be over by next monday, so I might like to join this project. Also, is there a post where the "general rules" are laid or are they all over the pages?

Woah, thanks for sharing! Now I can't wait to see the movies anymore :D

After several rounds of dancing, Amalia was finally satisfied, so Balder had a chance to leave the dancefloor. The other pair was already gone and the odd curious stare from the surrounding nobles was much to his discomfort. "I am sure you would like some more to drink?" he asked his wife, who...

It all depends on the political structure, I guess. You can of course have minor nobles be in charge of a city, but as far as I know, the bigger settlements were ruled independently. By guilds (merchants or craftsmen), for example, who meet in a city council and perhaps elect the leader. Also...

Nice list, thanks for the effort. By the way, Grimm's Fairy Tales were "written" by the Brothers Grimm, that is compiled and edited from oral stories from Germany and other parts of Europe. And as Beowulf is mentioned, the Scandinavian/German Nibelungen might fit in here, too. Not so sure how...
