bunny: spider bitten Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 In part two, Geoff says something along the lines of 'It's no surprise there is unrest, it happens all the time when rulers change. It's true the world over.' There's like 2 countries who have changed rulers and both are less than 30 years old. Quite the baseless assumption to make there, Geoff.

bottlegnomes Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I mean, it's true. If you live in America (I only say America because I'm not as familiar with other democratic countries, though I'm willing to bet they're fairly similar), look at presidential elections. When a new president is elected, everyone who didn't support him, or potentially her, bitches for a while. Then, after a while, everyone calms down and is reasonably happy.

Agro Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 So. . . Three. Not that I'd agree immediately. No, probably closer to 100 or so. It's not like Elincia's father ruled for 1000 years, or the apostles for that long either. And I'm sure Ashnard's father wasn't 1000 when he died.

Paper Jam Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 There's like 2 countries who have changed rulers and both are less than 30 years old. What? I thought all of the countries in Tellius were hundreds of years old. Begnion certainly is, and Sanaki certainly hasn't ruled Begnion since day 1.

BrightBow Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) What? I thought all of the countries in Tellius were hundreds of years old. Begnion certainly is, and Sanaki certainly hasn't ruled Begnion since day 1. Well, Soren said, Crimea and Daein have been part of Begnion until recently. Though, Caineghis said that Ramon already ruled for thirty years and Ashnards plans to become king reach two decades back. And at the beginning, Soren spoke about Centuries of conflict between the two nations. So the word "recently" isn't exactly accurate. Anyway, Begnion along with Goldoa has indeed been around for a thousand years. Back then, Begnion was ruled by Altina and Lehran. Goldoa was ruled by Deghinsea.

Anouleth Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Crimea and Daein broke from Begnion about 240 years before the events of PoR. Phoenicis and Kilvas came about 15 years before that, and Gallia was formed about thirty years before that. While we don't know much about what happened over those years, we can assume there were periods of internal strife. http://serenesforest.net/general/timeline10.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Banzai Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Oh there's also the assassination of the old empress of Begnion That you know led to that whole massacre thing Not to mention a nobleman like Geoffrey is likely to be educated in political history (among other things).

Doga Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yeah, it's not like this whole website was burned down twenty years before the beginning of PoR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
