Title: History of Zalanthas, for a character turning 18.
Post by: mansa on March 27, 2011, 10:11:18 PM
Hi,

Can someone help me out?


If someone is turning 18 this friday in Zalanthas, what is his world history that he knows?

What big events happened since Year 49, of the 21st age ?

It's year 67 now.

In terms of Tuluk or in terms of Allanak.



I'm having trouble writing a background for a character since the history page is updated from Year 39, which was about 2007~2008.

The last HRPT happened in the beginning of Ascending Sun, Year 56, Age 21. Someone born on Year 49 would have been about 7 at the time of the disasters in either city.

Well, it'd still be useful for all those characters who were above 18. And coincidentally, I last stopped playing Arm in 2008, so I'd like to know what happened too :P

Some information on that HRPT that should be well-known is here:
http://www.zalanthas.org/gdb/index.php/topic,37225.0.html

While I'm sure other things have happened before and since, none of it is posted about like that, so it's hard to describe them while breaking rules, and best left to staff updating the history page or posting here.

Ah, so that's where that moon came from. I was wondering why I hadn't noticed it before.

a person wouldn't know a damn thing about 'gickers, right? apart from the fact that they're 'gickers?

or that tektolnes killed his father, besides historians and possibly nobles, who are educated?

The sort of answer I was looking for was pointed to by Cutthroat, the GDB addict.

I didn't want to get into specifics.  Just what a generic person would know about their hometown.

You're offtopic. This would better be put in Random Arm Thoughts, as it really has nothing to do with the OP's question.

But here: http://www.zalanthas.org/gdb/index.php/topic,31255.msg594711.html#msg594711

The first time I saw that moon on a recent character I freaked out despite actually being present at the HRPT. The timeline really needs to be updated.

QFFT.  With an extra 'F' for Mansa.

There is no F in Mansa, but it's pronounced like the double o in boot!

Post by: valeria on March 28, 2011, 03:42:16 PM
I was more thinking of the extra F being pronounced 'ffffff' and not exactly pronounced Oo.  Though QFOT would be funny to say out loud three times fast.

what about a new topic

in which people can ask, if my new character is X years old, would they know about X HRPT/event//would X event have happened during their lifetime and when?

i can't think of a title

We know that the history page needs updating, but there has been no other HRPT since the last one mentioned in this thread (Dec 2009), so you should be able to base all of your current character backgrounds off of that one (if you'd like to reference it).
