Fire Emblem on Forums: Shields of Caermo
« on: August 25, 2017, 03:23:27 am »

Several decades have passed since the great civil war for Caermo ended, but its effects are still being felt all across the country. The ruling body is slowly getting back to its feet and dealing with the massive expenses left behind. As all hostilities have long since been settled between both parties, and Caermo's northern neighbor Lorgen remains a peaceful ally, there is no need for military in the country at this time - the gold is better spent restoring functioning order in Caermo anyway.

However, unrest prevails in central Caermo; without soldiers to protect them or the money needed to finance any semblance of a military, villages are regularly ransacked by the bandits who gleefully roam the countryside. Until, five years ago, two groups rose up to challenge them...

...The Caermoan Defense Force, started by a band of veterans from the Caermoan Civil War. Perhaps a little less virtuous than their counterpart, the Defense Force is a group of sellswords and mercenaries who dedicate themselves to eliminating bandits wherever they may be found... for a small fee. Nothing a reasonably well-off village couldn't afford, naturally.

...And the Shields of Caermo, much less wealthy than the Defense Force. In terms of arms and people they take what they can get, because they work for free - their main income is in the form of meager donations. Those truly dedicated to making Caermo a better place sign up in measure equal to people who just wanna kill bandits.

And this is where you come in: a new recruit to the Shields, eager to help your new comrades in returning the country to its former prosperity.






whoa my first fef, wild

FEF Hub
Solymr's 1.Salt Handbook
Map of Central Caermo
Lore on the Caermoan Civil War. More coming SoonTM.

How many players are you accepting?
Eight. Sorry to anyone else, but I really don't want to bite off more than I can chew here. Ten lol

...Who are we again?
The first four players are new recruits to the Shields of Caermo, hoping to put down the bandit scourge in their beloved country and make upit a safe place to live in once again. The next four will be randos wanderers, travelers, or village folk who happened to be in the right place at a convenient time.

What if I wanna be in the Defense Force instead?
Leave.

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

I'm considering going Trobadour > Holy Guard
Already asked this in Discord but do you get extra growths for splitting between strength and magic like I've seen in some games?

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

If you like my work, consider becoming a patron. (Since apparently people think this is a requirement: no, my game(s) are free to play and always will be.

I'll probably make a sheet. How about being the Bard->Enchanter? Bowtie, if I DO go for a bard, can I have him/her play the tunes (without lyrics, mostly) of real songs? I could play things to the tune of this (literally and figuratively), and, just maybe, I could bring up something like Hotel California on rare, somewhat relevant occasions. I would weave it into the backstory, of course.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

How flexible are you thinking of being with PFs and PSs? Like, stick to the book or make up some crazy ones?
