Midshipman, Sub Lieutenant, Lieutenant...

Ah... Midshipman here are Cadets at Annapolis...  but you likely know that.
Always interesting to see the little differences; hope it pays well enough to live on. Best of Luck.

Thanks. Pays better than my last job, so can't complain!

Everyone's a pirate!

I'm still here, sorry about it, was sick as well as the holiday

Did you choose to go with Wulfe or stay back at the castle?

I'll stay back

Very well, you become the castle steward for the moment, responsible for defending it and keeping it working smoothly. The Army packs up and moves on to subdue all Brance's retainers and remove them.

Alright

Keep it safe for me :)

You'd be hard pressed to get Wulfe to hire the dude - defintiely wouldn't let it happen either.

Cheap cannon fodder...

sorry, that took longer than anticipated. Back from vacation.

This week is my.birthday as well as the last week of classes, then I have finals the week after. I will be mostly studying then.

Not an issue... assume you'll come up for air now and again... but no pressure.

Finals are over, will get caught up asap

It's been a grim period, Had a nasty cold that just sapped my energy too... doing a lot better myself.

Oh no!

Ah yea, that seems to be going round here too!

Glad you're better :)

Yes, everywhere here too ...

Good question...what DO our character know of the Templars?

John was from Megalos right?


I guess mages might have some cool spells to help with that?

In reply to Thomas O'Leary (msg # 34):

Probably not a great deal, Those in Megalos know they are a religious order who uses magic freely to do their will. That includes interrogations and punishment for heretics ... the state does try to control them, but they believe that they answer to God, not the emperor, although not out loud too often.  They are extremists in every sense and don't get along too well with the Knights Hospitaller, who are very powerful in and around New Jarusalem, The Hospitallers are forbidden to use magic, but are conservative and unwilling to admit non humans to their order. They particularly despise Elves and Dwarves as Satan's Spawn.
The Templars are an eastern Megailian Order, more controlled by the curia, and thus by the throne. They accept any being of any race if fit to be a knight and willing to take the vows. They are forbidden entry into Caithness specifically by the King of Caithness. Their Seat is in Azer and they promote battle magic.
