"The river Nechsiv is a raging river that forms part of La Wunj’s natural defences" doesn’t sound plausibel. Reasons:

La Wunj has been listed both as a city in Barony Juliette and in Barony Vixenmage (now Larf). Being a natural border between these baronies, the Nechsiv apparently runs through La Wunj. It may once have been a part of La Wunj’s natural defences before La Wunj expanded across the river. Or it may be a part of La Wunj’s natural defences again, since the cross-river suburbs of La Wunj lay abandoned even if the city’s centre has been repopulated.

La Wunj appears to be a sea harbour, with ships going up the raging river? Or do ships on the Chaett and Iric Routes only go to the port of Landen-zon, at the mouth of the Nechsiv?

Apparently I’m not allowed to remove pages from categories; thus there are still places in Iric as well as in the Diskord or the Riding.

The history of Castle Flayme is beyond a humble apprentice’s abilities (should we just scratch "; since her return, she has been a baron without a barony", or should we acknowledge that July reclaimed her barony, but then left again?) I’ll leave this (and choosing the appropriate map) to the shared responsibility of Barons Neshomeh and Huinesoron.

Since we’re talking about shared places at borders, apparently

• La Wunj is in Barony Juliette and in Barony Larf (former Barony Vixenmage), but governed by nobody, because it is still abandoned.
  
• Godreve is in Barony Eshakhar and in Barony Huinesoron, but still governed by Sir Ekyl.

Clarifying whether this is true I’ll leave to the local residents.

Reewryght (spelled as on the original Riding of Sittorese page) is actually spelled "Rheewryght" on the map. Do you want to change the map(s), or should we rename "Reewryght" to "Rheewryght", and possibly also "Reeveshun Ridge" to "Rheeveshun Ridge"?

The Label "R. Blulenc" is duplicated above "Castle Fanvik"; you may want to keep only one of those when you change the map(s) to label the "Vaybek Road" and "R(h)eeveshun Ridge".

While describing Los Taelis, I realized that my wording would be less clumsy if the road from Mei'n Payj or Manyuel to Los Taelis had a name. (Between Mei'n Payj and Manyuel the road is part of the Hyparlink Route.) If somebody could come up with a fitting name, I would happily use it. Bonus points if using the (combination of hyperlink and) whatever road would actually be preferable over going through a category tree and/or a menu on a landing page.

Punning is so hard.

And I haven't much to contribute, but mayhaps I could nab a heraldry request? I hesitate to request one for my Inglish coat of arms, as it's rather complicated and in its ccurrent form somewhat eschews proper blazonry rules.

My Alvish one, though, should work fine, in large part thanks to only relying on a single symbol, which I have you to thank for. You recall the brass snowflake from the political compass thread? Well, I turned it into my Alvish symbol. If I understood the Alvish system correctly, it should be ner blue, rena silver; canta nastar alta tera, a brass snowflake; canta nastar nica tera, the snowflake's shorter arms.

Or, if I messed that up horribly, a brass snowflake with four long arms and four shorter ones on a navy blue field with a silver border.
I know snowflakes don't come in fourfold symmetry, but I couldn't make the six pointed version work with the Alvish rank encoding.
I also wanted to do some silver arrows meeting the shorter points, but I couldn't work that with the ranking either. Plus, it was getting a bit busy.
Also not sure about what shade of blue to go for. I'm leaning towards navy, but I dunno how well that works with the brass.

I've got a whole backstory for my Plort self waiting in the wings about my journey from the great Red Wall (too obvious a name for Redwall?) across the sea to Konti-Nyuum, but considering I haven't even been able to name my Plort self, I don't think I'll have that ready any time soon. Ah well, next Plort thread, I suppose.

The chain of hills or low mountains running along the southern coast of the Riding from the border between Barony Juliette and Barony Hieronymus to the Auriantym Chain is currently nameless on the map and was provisionally named "Coastal Ridge (which may deserve a better name)" in the New Tales of Hieronymus.

I think that its actual name should reference the cycle of beta reading, editing, beta reading and editing again, until the story is fit to be published. How would this be expressed in English and translated to Plortish? "Reeveshun Ridge"?

Also, what does the "Bay of Tarr" reference?

Also also, I created a page for the river Jid'ryv using the wrong type of apostrophe. (That’s what I get for copy-pasting from a spell-checking word processor.) It is now a redirection page that shouldn’t be linked anywhere and may be deleted.

...I think it's time to work with you on cleaning up an old mess. That mess is the Lord of Darkness. I think I have a decent new concept to return the character back to my original motives for creating him (that being a statement on the use of Hitler in the media, instead of just being limited to the Wolfenstein continuum). I wouldn't say I'm making it more politically correct - rather, I think of it more as an adjustment of that concept to my current, much less pessimistic/paranoid "he's everywhere and we can't stop it" viewpoint on the subject.

I'm not going to edit his wiki article, because I want this new concept approved by you. How does this sound:

The Lord of Darkness is a powerful warlord who champions the political worldview known as Darknessism and owns various castles across Weab (note: going through with your idea of owning a ton of castles, because it made sense to keep it). Some of these (such as those in So Shall Medea) are built by followers or pseudo-followers (note: Nazi edgelords) of Darknessism in whatever country the castle is built in; others are built by his own band of nameless helpers, wherever a hero on a crusade against Darknessism is told of (note: perhaps I could word this better? This means places like the Wolf castles and other areas representative of fandoms where placing Hitler into the canon actually makes sense). Still others are the result of the leader of a nation literally inviting the Lord of Darkness into the nation to redirect public hatred away from the leader or to scare the people into submission. Usually, this doesn't work, and instead makes the people hate the ruler more, because of how easy it is to tell when the Lord of Darkness doesn't belong. (note: canons where Hitler gets shoved in because the author is too lazy to come up with an original villain or because ShoCk VALue ThatS whY.) He evidently does dastardly things wherever he goes, but no two nations have the same memories of him (note: meant to be the different interpretations from different fandoms, which is what the "multiple avatars" thing was.) Even though some Marizu are indeed led by followers or pseudo-followers of Darknessism, the general Plortish sentiment is to refrain from going after these Marizu or Darknessism in general, as it's just not worth it.

The article would then go on to define Darknessism and pseudo-Darknessism, and then finish with a list of the castles.

Looking forward to hearing any feedback you have.

The heraldry of SIR THOTH, Semi-Competent Wizard Errant, Sometime Archivist's Assistant, and General Nuisance:

...and for some reason, the board's HTML is jerking me around tonight, so here's a baretext link: https://postimg.cc/image/5985h1s5n/

D'ya reckon I did alright?

Right... I don't know the heraldic speech so just plain English.

I'd like a pale blue background, and a snow leopard in the centre (if that's not too hard to draw. If it is, I'm fine with another Arctic mammal). And three small stars on top. Thank you!

Also, a quick question: is there actually any Plort roleplay ongoing elsewhere, or is it just on the Board?


Thanks again!

I’m currently trying to put the Reference lines into Info boxes on all pages relevant to the Tales of Hieronymus (to start somewhere). Since I’m prone to get the pronunciation wrong, I would like to have the following references confirmed:

Kattekri-tri – Category Tree?

Raeltym – Realtime? Wich would make
Auriantym – Eastern (oriental) time?^(*)
Auksidentym – Western (occidental) time?^(*)

Jid’ryv – (no idea)
Jid’auks – (again, no idea, and not actually relevant to the Tales of Hieronymus)


^(*) I further guess that one of these is Board time, while the other may be Wiki time, depending on where the Servers are located.

Years upon years ago, the young An'onere was readying himself to undergo the trial of Purmeshun, so he might take up the cause of the Knights of Plort.

However... on the eve upon which he was to set upon the Knight's Road, he instead... vanished. While it may have been said that he fell victim to simple cowardice, this was simply not the case. No... it was simply that fate had found a different road for the young mage to travel, and bade him travel that road first.

And so, he left on the back of Mental Haze, in the dead of night. He journeyed to far-off lands to practice the magic of Pro'gramman and Eich-Tee-Ehm-Ehl, he practiced and mastered the art of Arpying, and he finally rescued his friend, once thought lost to the Marizu. Together, they finally rebuilt the town of Tah'vernn, except this time, far from the land of Chatt-zei. Their New Tah'vernn would rise next to a new town that practiced both Arpying and the art of Mons, and both would be connected with the magic of Dizzy Chord keystones.

It was here, in New Tah'vernn, where he renamed himself. No longer would he be known as An'onere Morysse. Forevermore, he would bear the name of Lunamann- and his heraldry would change to match his new name.

Argent, a quarter Vairy Purpure and Argent, a base dexter pentacle Sable, a chief sinister crescent points dexter Sable, a base sinister Poké Ball Argent with features Gules and outline Sable, a cross Sable with the Roman numeral XIII Vert.

After three long years, the young mage who once entered Plort as Po'kere Trikense, then again as An'onere Morysse, has returned. His spell tome bears a new name as well- it now bears the name Zeta. His steed has vanished- or, perhaps it was simply left behind. Instead, the mage bears a magic staff, known as John Smith. He doesn't feel ready to seek out Purmeshun again, though, not yet... all in due time.

Not *entirely* sure if I got the blazon right there, this is what it's supposed to look like. And yes, I know full well that normal furs are fixed in coloration- but according to Wikipedia, Vair can be an exception. It can be an alternate set of colors, it's just that when it is, it's written as "Vairy" or "Vairé", instead of just "Vair". (Potent is the same way, one could easily have "Potenty Or and Gules" or "Potenté Argent and Vert".)

Also, Tah'vernn/New Tah'vernn is pretty much just a Chatzy RP room/a Discord RP server that I assembled with a few friends of mine- and the other town, the one that 'practiced both Arpying and the art of Mons', is... well, a Pokemon RP server that I joined a bit before I revived the Chatzy RP room as a Discord server. (And the 'once thought lost to the Marizu' is because one of my friends at one point had a blatant Gary Stu for a character. He doesn't anymore, though, hence why he was saved.)

I can update Twyla's bio on my own, so here's my coat of arms request:

One, since I've kinda broken out of the edgelord phase that made me so attached to Wolfenstein 3D, can you do a shield that's less edgy? I'd like there to be a moon and/or a green moth on it, since a luna moth is going to be a running motif in a lot of my Newgrounds stuff. Feel free to include whatever else you think suits me.

Two, can you make an equivalent for that using whichever heraldry you didn't use to make the wolf shield?

Thanks, hS! I love Plort a lot.

We recently did some updates on the Plort map, and plort setting as a whole. And even more recently, we brought around the concept of space-plort, which I don't have a link to right now, but there's certainly a setting for it (though I don't think a map exists, correct me if I'm wrong.)
