Spoiler: Duke Gul'Athur the Far'Gloen (Supernerd) (click to show/hide)

Name: Duke Gul'Athur
Species: The Far'Gloen
Appearance: Humanoid creatures with a terrifying appearance. They have a vertical mouth with many needle-like teeth, three eyes with different sizes, an asymmetrical shape, barbed limbs that can rotate in unnatural directions, and what appears to be bioluminescent tumor-like growths all over their body.
Personality: Gul'Athur is the democratically elected representative of the Far'Gloen, now technically nobility due to the government style of Zethe. Like most Far'Gloen he is an honest, rational and measured individual who puts the well being of his people above his own personal aspirations; as any good leader should. Gul'Athur can get along with all but the most unreasonable of the monsterous folk.
Background: The Fal'Gloen have made several attempts at diplomacy with the Virtuous races over the years. Such diplomatic missions have always gone poorly due in no small part to the Far'Gloen's vile appearance, vile scent, and voice that sounds like high pitched screeching even when they try to talk normally. They initially refused to join the kingdom of Zethe, but after a vicious unprovoked attack from the so called Virtuous Races the Far'Gloen have settled their differences and now fight alongside King Radeus for their very right to exist.
Abilities: Gul'Athur's physical abilities are only slightly above average, and he also lacks any particular arcane talent. He is however, highly intelligent as any ruler of the Far'Gloen must be. His approval rating among the Far'Gloan isn't quite 100% but it's pretty darn close.

Spoiler: Eversor, the Animated Armor (Hawk132) (click to show/hide)

Name: Eversor
Species: Animated Armor
Appearance: An intimidating suit of blackened steel armor reaching over two meters in height, with silver trims adorning some of its features. A torn tabard of dark violet and black covers the chest plate and part of the legs , displaying heraldry that is far too faded and damaged to decipher. Covering its back and shoulders is a similarly tattered fur-lined cloak. It wields a large long-handled flanged mace, swinging its considerable weight around with but a single hand. The head of the weapon bears scars and dents borne of constant use, spattered with grisly splotches of dried rust red marring the weapon's dark metal. The entire suit constantly emits an eerie ghostly mist out of the gaps between its plates, most noticeably from the visor, doing so with such intensity that it resembles a white, flowing glow. The armor seems to be covered in frost, the air surrounding it noticeably and uncomfortably cooler.
Personality: Eversor is a slight oddity among sentient undead. He has no other ambition aside from an obsession regarding combat. While there are at times other things that interest him, fighting is the one thing he revels in, and the tougher the battle, the more alive he feels. He still retains a certain sense of honor, though perhaps slightly twisted by his long unlife. In spite of his 'battle maniac' tendencies, he is rather reasonable to the surprise of those expecting the combat-maddened undead from the stories.
Background and Abilities: Eversor's origins trace back to over a millennia ago... or was it more than that? He himself cannot remember. Originally a knight of one of the ancient kingdoms, he was renowned for his battle prowess. Eventually, he perished in a hopeless battle, though as his body bled out, it never fell - locked in a battle ready stance. Long after the body inside turned into dust, the armor began moving by itself. In his undeath, Eversor waded into every battlefield he could find and eventually became a legend, a myth - sometimes a force of karmic justice, at times a menace to civilization. And even when he was seemingly slain, he always returned decades later, as if even True Death couldn't restrain him from seeking battle and worthy foes. Eversor himself is not that much different from an ordinary Animated Armor, aside from the sheer amount of time he had to perfect his techniques and strongly concentrated Undeath Force he had accumulated within him granting an instinctive command over bone-chilling cold. His most unique feature is his seeming inability to Truly die, even if he were to be disintegrated - always returning to fight more, sooner or later.
Attributes:

Magic: 1
Intelligence: 0
Leadership: 1

Traits:
[Bone-chilling Aura] - Around Eversor, the air is almost freezing - the closer to the armor, the worse the effects. The weak struggle to even move, freezing in the terrifying cold, separating the wheat from the chaff without Eversor having to lift a finger.

+Task Effect: Bonus to interactions and some tasks involving Undead monsters (+4)
+Battle Effect: If killed, you may reappear at Tartarus the next month with a temporary attribute malus.

+Battle Effect: Bonus to CR (+2)

Spoiler: Gnarl, Gremlin Shaman (Prophet) (click to show/hide)

Name: Gnarl the Shaman

Species: Elder Gremlin

Appearance: A scarred, grey skinned, and rugged Gremlin. He is tall for his kind, which averages out to about half the size of a human, despite his slight hunch and gnarled frame. His face is sunken and leathery, besides his strong jaw filled with teeth and covered in a pair of silvery mutton chops, and topped with a crown of balding hair. He carries himself with surprising strength and force for his apparent age, a twinkle of concerning mischief in his eyes.

Personality: Crotchety and loud, the Elder Gremlin is a harsh taskmaster to his progeny, though you wouldn't think it with his utter devotion to the King, and more respectful tone with his fellow Lords. The Shaman values knowledge and magical power, besides his loyalty to the King, over anything else, having spent his entire life seeking both. Despite his callousness, or perhaps because of it, he is rather fond of tricks and mischief at other's expense, especially of the hated virtuous races.

Background: Gnarl for all intents and purposes, spent most of his venerable life... being a bandit warlord. The young Gremlin having been chosen to apprentice the previous Shaman, who, as all of his clan was, was his brother. After learning all he could of his clan's earthen magic and blood rituals, he would replace his predecessor, and then rapidly overthrow his progenitor, the Elder Gremlin who sired him, ascending to the rank of Elder and fathering his own generation to do his bidding. Gnarl would spend the next few decades harassing trade routes near his clan's den, stealing any scrap of wealth, knowledge, and, most of all, magic who could get his hands on. However, all good things come to an end, eventually even the Elder Gremlin's cunning and magical tricks couldn't win against the overwhelming force of the local humans. While he won't speak much of it, clearly sour to this day, supposedly he thought it would be his last day, but was saved by the King, and has since then dedicated himself to him.

Abilities: A Shaman, well versed in magic, but specialized in earth magic and blood rituals. As an Elder Gremlin it falls on him to father all other Gremlins of his lineage, through asexual reproduction. A former bandit lord, Gnarl was used to using his environment and stealth to fight superior forces.

Spoiler: Unipent the Fairy Serpent (Shadowclaw777) (click to show/hide)

Name: Unipent
Species: Fairy Serpent
Appearance: Unipent is a gargantuan serpentine creature, with its head crowned by a majestic unicorn horn, spiraling gracefully from its forehead. Its body is covered in pristine white scales, and these scales are adorned with delicate, shimmering horsehair that dances and glitters in the sunlight, creating an ethereal and mesmerizing sight. The body is a serpentine snake-body being that of only its tail, as well as fins on its body to help it swim. This unique fusion of reptilian and equine features gives the creature an enchanting and otherworldly appearance, making it a true wonder of mythical beings.

Personality: Unipent after gaining sapience from eating fairy magic has realized its own self-worth past its’s bestial instincts, even still all it desires is to consume more and more food and now that it is incapable of reproduction the only thing on its mind being food and survival, eventually recruiters from Zethe found Unipent slowly devouring a grazing elephant and was joined into the kingdom as a unique monster through a funny comedic encounter. Unipent questioned whether he could aspire to be the greatest military warrior for the kingdom or was he destined to be just a beast of war?

Background: In the vast and sprawling grasslands of someplace in this world, an ancient and fearsome boa made its lair within a hidden cave system. This cave was not just any ordinary hideout; it served as a mysterious portal to a parallel magical realm inhabited by fairies, where enchanting energies flowed freely. Over time, the boa’s presence in this unique location had unintended consequences. As the snake roamed the grasslands that surrounded a massive river, it discovered that unicorns had taken up residence in its hunting grounds, drawn by the bountiful fey magic that permeated in the area. In its relentless pursuit of prey, the boa often clashed with these graceful creatures. The resulting magical battles and the continuous exposure to the potent fairy magic had a profound effect on the boa’s physiology and resulting it becoming half-unicorn as long as gaining human-level sapience in which it spoke its first words, “I am Unipent”

Abilities: Unidra which was previously just an overgrown boa now possesses astonishing regenerative capabilities, allowing it to heal even the most grievous wounds in a matter of moments. Should its head be severed in battle, Unidra can rapidly sprout new heads from the stump, making it an almost inexhaustible adversary from its hydra lineage then reverting back to a singular head after it feels no threat. In addition to its incredible regenerative powers, Unidra's unicorn horn act as a conduit to access the potent fairy magic of its lineage, utilizing it's as a magical implement to wield enchantments and cast spells, making it a formidable and versatile predator both on land and in the depths of aquatic realms, where it reigns as a supreme predator.

Turn 1.1: Year 1 - Month of Idna [Start]

"We are Zethe. So long as the people live, Zethe will never die."
- Radeus, First King of Zethe

This is the first day of the month of Idna, which marks the one year anniversary of Zethe the Monstrous Kingdom. From across the known and unknown world, Monsters of all origins have gathered to challenge the curses imposed upon them by an ancient injustice.

It was a year ago that guided by a prophecy, a crownless Prince and his Generals challenged dreaded Tartarus, the Cursed Mountain-Fortress which was said to once have been the holy mountain and home of the Fallen Gods. They converted its guardians to their cause, thwarted the traps of the Fortress, and tamed the soul of the Mountain.

Now this once cursed place is the blessed Fortress-Capital of Zethe: Tartarus.

WORDS FROM THE KING

Among the King's followers, the most trusted and skilled have been given the title of Lords of Zethe. With this title they carry the heavy responsibility of giving their all for the greater good of the kingdom, in return receiving the support of Zethe's legions of workers, administrators, engineers, mages, and more.

Today his Majesty has gathered the Lords to the Throne Room where lies the empty Obsidian Throne where only the King may sit. Before the towering throne, the King and his Aide are meeting the mightiest and most trusted monsters of the Kingdom. There is no grander reason than to rejoice with his trusted allies and friends, for before those he trusts, the King is no king, but an equal.

The horned ebony demigod with the piercing gaze of gold is Radeus the King of Zethe, and last Son of Idna. Only the Lords and the Aide knew of his true nature as divine direct descendant of the Mother of Monsters and inheritor of her will. Why you followed him, only you knew. But you trusted him long before the truth was revealed to you, and his origin didn't change a thing.

All of you had laughed, shared. With a voice carrying the essence of command and the warmth of a friend, he gave a last speech as the time of reunion came to an end.

"Lords of Zethe. My Friends. Without your invaluable support I dare say Zethe would not be standing a year after its foundation. Your achievements are deserving of respect, and they fill me with gratitude and pride. This is yet only the beginning. Our ambitions runs deeper: our light will cover the world! Our words of challenge will pierce the skies, and reach the Gods! We will be the beacon, we will be the guiding light of the new era! Take heart, friends, and go forth to spread the word of Zethe!"

[Supernerd]

Duke Gul'Athur

Let me know if I am doing this right or missing something.

Downtime Action
Duke Gul'Athur will spend his downtime recruiting soldiers who will go out to expand Zethe's influence. A particular emphasis will be put on any soldier that can perform adequately in at least one of the following terrains: Plains, Forests, Hills and Mountains.

Personal Request
Duke Gul'Athur will request that a Barracks is constructed in the Fortress-Capital Tartarus, where soldiers that are not actively being commanded can be granted leave or called upon later by any lord of Zethe.

Bonus Downtime Action
Duke Gul'Athur will look into improving the food production that is already in place in Tartarus.

[Nakéen]

All good! You can also go on an expedition or do another downtime action. Sorry for the confusion.

In short you have a bonus Downtime action for this turn.

[crazyabe]

Ot'Ku Bo, The Champion

Downtime Action
Bo Recruits Ogre, and Ogre-kin troops.

Personal Request
Request that a proper Armory be established in the Fortress-Capital Tartarus, where Arms and Armor can be stored and maintained. and upon its construction finishing, he will attempt to store Eversor within it as is proper.

Expedition to the Parabes Mountain Ridge
Bo will wander the Mountain Ridge, Seeking to force the Mountain Ogres to bend to his (and by proxy the King's) cause by Challenging their Leaders to single combat.

this good?

[Hawk132]

Bit of a stub for now, but I'll edit in the actions and a request once I got time. I'll just make a new post to keep it chronological.

As an important note, after clarifying some rules involving combat and interactions between allied armies, with Nakéen's blessing I decided to respec Eversor into 4 STR, 2 MAG, cementing his status as the scariest MF in Zethe.

I'm sure Nakéen will add this to the OP eventually, but Lords can act as Squads in each other's Armies without counting into the command limit. So as long you have space for Eversor's eventual retinue of 1 hopefully elite unit, you can have him tag along on your conquests as a super unit.

[Prophet]

Gnarl the Shaman

[Bonus Downtime]
Gnarl had known that his master wouldn't sit idly by for much longer, and would want to secure his rightful domain. The former Bandit Lord had exploited such inaction to great success in his youth after all. So the Elder Gremlin begin rallying up a batch of some of his more seasoned brood. Most of the louts might be daft and better used for hard labor, but even amongst 'em there was some who'd soaked in some of his, and his few remaining Bandit Veterans, wisdom.

Gnarl goes to recruit some of his children that he'd been instructing on his old tactics and training, wanting them to be well prepared for the environment he planned to enter.

[Eversor]
While he was at it, the Shaman made sure to visit one of his dependable allies while he was making preparations. All of them were skillful in their own right, but Eversor was certainly the most experienced combatant of the Lords. As strange as it felt to the Elder Gremlin to feel youthful in a subject compared to someone else.

"Hmm, Lord Eversor, always a pleasure to be in the company of a dependable and loyal warrior of our King. I've come with a proposition, surely soon we will be expected to serve our glorious Master and claim his rightful domain surrounding the city. I plan to launch an expedition into the nearby Grenvud Forests, to scout out the area, survey the local resources, and attempt to bring the Treefolk into the fold of our King. While I'm used to such terrain, I must admit that I would prefer a swift end to any resistance that the locals would try to put up. So I propose we join forces to claim the Forests, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

[Expedition]
Gnarl having been preparing, was unsurprised by their first mandate. He was quick to gather up his selected children, and the supplies to feed the needy wretches, and set out on a campaign to the Grenvud Forests, hopefully with the company of someone more intelligent than his dull but loyal spawn.

Gnarl sets out on an expedition to the Grenvud Forests, hopefully to bring it under Zethean domain and scout out anything of use to his wise Master. Inviting his fellow Lord, Eversor, to join forces with him.

[TricMagic]

Downtime
Roll around to collect people informed about the Bartoros Herds into an Expedition Squad. Focus on those who know the land and culture.
Get Wagons to transport us as needed. And any other stuff for the trip.

Personal Request
Wheels. Wheels are the lifeblood of any transport network. Be they made of stone, wood, or iron, or even the mythical rubber. See about standardizing and constructing some for wagons and such. That way things can be transported more easily, and better wheels.

Expedition
Set out to scout the Plains of Latze, and interreact with the Herds to gather info and potential converts. Bring about the Expedition Squad.

"Roll will collect, got plains to inspect. Like a rock, can't be stopped. Whee~" Roll hurries about her tasks.

[Hawk132]

Eversor

Bonus Downtime Action
Eversor will search for and gather warriors powerful enough to serve as a small, but elite retinue under his banner, vigorously testing both those he finds and those who think themselves exemplary enough to find him in turn - if they cannot withstand the penetrating, glacial cold surrounding him, how are they to stand by his side? Undead preferred... but strength is what Eversor seeks, above all other concerns.

Personal Request
Eversor requests that Training Camps be set up within the military quarters of Tartarus, so that Zethe's aspiring warriors may be forged into soldiers worthy of the privilege of fighting in King Radeus' name.

Gnarl

[Eversor]
While he was at it, the Shaman made sure to visit one of his dependable allies while he was making preparations. All of them were skillful in their own right, but Eversor was certainly the most experienced combatant of the Lords. As strange as it felt to the Elder Gremlin to feel youthful in a subject compared to someone else.

"Hmm, Lord Eversor, always a pleasure to be in the company of a dependable and loyal warrior of our King.

Eversor's helmet nodded after hearing his fellow Lord's proposal. "It shall be so. Together we will bring His Majesty's light to the Grenvud Forests."

Expedition
Eversor will join Gnarl in his expedition to the Grenvud Forests.

[Nakéen]

All your actions are great. The next turn is expected to land tomorrow.

[crazyabe]

Tomorrow as I’m 24 hours from now, or tomorrow as in 12 hours from now?

[Nakéen]

Which tomorrow indeed. Today's tomorrow or the next day's tomorrow? It could be any tomorrow... does it mean the turn will never come?...

(A reasonable 24h-48h time range starting NOW)

[Dustan Hache]

i missed the reboot?! NOOOOOO-

[Nakéen]

i missed the reboot?! NOOOOOO-

Oh no Dustan! I should have warned you, really should have... D:
