The Empire of Eslandola: Sign-up and Discussion

[Garmadon]

Sorry, just those last two posts being in a row is quite hilarious!

[Maxim I]

At Garmadon, Windusky, Alfadas and Captain Braunsfeld:

It is very clear the ETWC is mostly conservative landbased I even wonder how you can reach Pontelli without ships

But as I am a generous person, you always can sent cargo through one of MAESTRO's ships

At Kabel:

Kabel, when are the Eslandolan MAESTRO-members getting "MAESTRO" next to their name in the Eslandolan Memberlist??

That's actually a good question!

[Umbra-Manis]

How about when you have assets that profit the king.

[Kai NRG]

That's actually a good question!

Actually I was going to ask you for a list of members. So if you just keep me posted on who is a MAESTRO member, I'll keep the list updated! Go ahead and tell me who so far.

Well, it may surprise you, but at the moment we're with only 3 Eslandians:

Maxim (leader)

Faladrind

Titus

Yes of course, and we have good relationships with Corrington with the help of Tomsche.

He is considered as a Corrington Ambassador but he is also a Member of MAESTRO.

.

The same with Adair and Oleon, when he signs up!

[Kai NRG]

Tomshe and Adair, of course, are not/will not be on the Eslandian Citizen list, so I won't be putting MAESTRO after their names.

I didn't understand what you were trying to say about Kabel though.

[kabel]

kabel is viceroy Renato Filamento who actually doesn't understand why the King has granted a charter to MAESTRO since he feels that this is weakening his power in the colonies ...

Hey, Viceroy Renato Filamento is a honorary Council member of MAESTRO! So he has something to do in the MAESTRO's politics :)

Anyway, some teasers:

Coming soon!!

[kabel]

This is the last day MRCA forms can be filled out for January, I believe, so if you are joining one of the following convoys, please post in my January MRCA Escorted Trade runs

thread so that we make sure everyone gets added to the convoy (you will still have to fill out the MRCA form but this way you will know what other ships to add to your trade run):

Route A - The Risky Route (speed 3 ships only) - Escorted by Pandora

Black Marlin

The Sphinx

The Swift Packet

The Knight of Stedor

(1 more ship?)

Route B - The less risky route (speed 3 ships only) - Escorted by Queen's Glory

Sulky Harlequin

Green Dragon

Stubborn Stern

(2 slots left?)

Route C - Somewhat risky route (speed 2 ships only) escorted by the Mermaid -

HMS Alice

Flying Colt

(3 slots left?)

Also be sure to communicate with those joining the same convoy as you to form flotillas within the escort to make your fleet even stronger! Also if Eslandola is sending any escorts along, please post their names as well.

An oat plantation in Pontelli for the ETWC and Eslandola and a first property in the new world for me!

Atticus Cuervo

Atticus Cuervo has never been considered a fool. With such a strong and robust family name, he has always looked for a way to make his mark on history. Atticus is the son of business entrepreneur Jack Cuervo, and the grandson of legendary explorer and proprietor Jose Cuervo. Atticus knew he could either sit by and rest on the laurels of his family name…or get out there and make a name for himself!

Atticus realized at an early age that what makes the world work was money, power, drive, and character. While on an expedition in the south, Atticus’ father made a deal with members of the Mokolei Empire. He had earned privileged trading rights for his family within the empire, but Atticus stayed, as a condition of the agreement, to learn and observe the cultures of the Empire. For almost six years, Atticus shared his culture, while observing the food, living habits, and culture of a fairly unknown group of people. In exchange, The Cuervo family became one of the leading traders of silk and exotic goods throughout the nations.

During his fourth year living abroad, there was an incredible uprising in the Mokolei Empire. The uprising was dealt with, but many loyal Mokolei perished in the turmoil. Understanding the importance of family, the ruling Emperor permitted Atticus to return home and reunite with his family. Atticus declined; he chose to stay and help assist the Empire in any way needed. Although his family was important to him, Atticus knew there was no better way to earn the respect and trust of the Empire than to show his true character.

Near the end of year five, Atticus returned home to his family in Eslandola’s capitol, Terreli. With him, he brought many items. What good is a tradesman without his own vessel to trade with? So Atticus returned with the “Marrazo” and his first mate and loyal friend, Jacopo. He was also joined by someone even more loyal than Jacopo, his dog, Zatara. The Emperor secretly rewarded Atticus for all of his information and loyalty. The Emperor kept all of that money hidden away from prying eyes, so the “Marrazo” was filled with enough gold to begin wherever and whatever Atticus wanted to. And of course, he returned with his new bride Jazmyn, who just happened to be a distant relation of the Emperor.

Upon returning to the capitol, Atticus learned of the news that his family’s business was in shambles! The employment of untrustworthy fools had led to the pilfering of almost all of the family’s assets and the murder of his father, Jack Cuervo…only 3 months ago!

As the oldest grandson of the legendary Jose Cuervo, at 23, Atticus has begun working for the MCTC. He knows his information and past experiences will be invaluable to King Fernando. And by reuniting with his family…

There are big plans for the Cuervo family, and they are only just beginning!

[TitusV]
