April 2020 Polls
🕑 Added 2020-04-17 18:16:53 +0000 UTCHello patrons and welcome to another set of patron polls!
This month we'll be polling on the subject of ... the Continent, where our girl Claire comes from!
While the Continent doesn't play a major role as a setting, it's a big part of the worldbuilding, and many characters Claire encounters do hail from the Continent.
The Continent itself is a large, interconnected landmass, split between several major 'regions'.
The temperate, Europe-styled Midfrey Kingdom, which has a mishmash of Franco-Italian (La Riviera), Celto-Gaelic (Loch Falk), British (royal coastline), and Germanic (the Marches) influences. From Midfrey, the closest Isles are Sorraine and Valos.
Claire escapes from the royal coastline in Midfrey and goes to the Isles from Hookton.
Down south you have Ankharad, which is this deeply exotic land ruled by a semi-demonic confederacy of powerful princes and princesses, combining Middle Eastern, Indian, and Ancient Greek influence. They are closest to Rathpike.
In the north, you have Nordheim nestled in the Thule Valley formed by the Folring Mountains, with clear Norse influence. Though Nordheim is in the north, they're not actually that close to Trissengrad, which is far flung further out in northeastern waters.
There is also the Hornwald in the northwest, a vast forest that once stretched unmolested across much of the Continent, which is now mostly inhabited by what remains of the Elves, and wayward bands of human outcasts and exiles.
The Fear is a vast jungle region in the deep west, filled with the hellish machinations and runaway experiments caused by the descendants of Titania's ancient loyalists, the Occultists, and where the monster invasion that drives Claire out of the Continent comes from.
Currently, Claire can encounter characters from almost all regions. The tyrant of Dargan Town, Yorn, originally hails from the Fear, the Nordlings of the Shieldmaiden Questline are from Nordheim, the refugee characters like Beth and Bertrand are from Midfrey (as is Claire), and several Ankharadi like Salim and Zayana are featured.
There isn't anyone from Hornwald yet, but there is a definite plan in place for a pointy-eared companion to appear in the future (after all, lewds are not complete without Elves, are they? :p)
We'd like to see our patrons' interest in these various regions, so the polls this time around ask the question: Which region would you like to see more characters from, or play more of a role?

I think by reincorporating Gilly, it adds a sense of RPG. That your actions CAN affect future events.

Gilly? Always sort of meant to be a kind of one-off, but might be have to have a revenge character like her!
CAsh
Elves! 🤤

What about the woman who sold Claire medicine? Would we ever find what happened to her after the orc's molestation of her? Did she bear offspring? Does she remember what Claire did to her?
The kingdom under seige and the the occult swamp are really great ideas and the demonic enslavement i hope they get worked on because they sound really cool

I want to see more demons and magic. More mind twisting devices and some corruption. More demon titties as well.

These all sound great.
