Skooma?
When the elves and their friends takes over
Brilliant! of course, the issue i have with bringing in one real world culture is that there is an urge to bring in several cultures from the same time period. Then you end up with "TEH EARTH, but with x as y".
>Elves are just forest hillbillies in his setting
What's the fucking point? Can't be a dying race if you were never important, can't be haughty if you have nothing to be proud of.
That's cool. I'll just fuck off and adventure for awhile, get to a ridiculously high level, then come back, slaughter them, become king (crowned by my own hand) and rename the kingdom Aquilonia. That last one? Mostly to see everyone else's face twitch.
I think a more interesting scenario is kinda like Earthdawn, but with the Elves as the Therans, trying to reconquer their massive empire after the magical apocalypse. Always there, always a threat, always able to wreck you if they had time to focus all their attention on you.
Checked fampai.
Your answer is the best answer
Nice trip dubs
Oh yeah, there's nothing I like more than dying to install some aristocrat cucks I've never met on a throne I've never seen so that they can tax me for half of my income.
Who cares who the nobles are? I have shit to do man.
>B-b-but we can establish a democracy or a
No. 90% of democracies have always been shit. It's mob rule. We're a bunch of illiterate peasants, what are we going to do, write a constitution? With what, our own shit? Just fuck off rabblerouser, I'm going to go grow some pears.
>We'll call the dwarves!
Oh, the autistic artisan autocrat society, that's great there's nothing I like more than inviting in a bunch of drunken Socialists to run my country for me, that's worked out great every time we've tried it, while we're at it let's call ourselves the Kulaks and start digging the mass graves now.
No. Fuck you. Get out of my house, or I will call Lord Sylvandyl and tell him it's you who keeps leaving wood planes on his doorstep.
Who cares who the higher ups are, as long as I can keep my family, my propriety and my job I don't give a rat's tail who "owns" the land.
SKYRIM BELONGS TO THE NORDS, YOU KNIIIIIIIIIIIFE EAAAAAAAARS!
