House Fuvur calls upon IC justification in exchange for money

[blargtheawesome]

I've built some things that need cannons and static siege weaponry. From the spreadsheet I have I realized that we only have 3 ballistae, no cannons, and no anything else. In light of this:


Heralds are spreading a message from the illustrious House Fuvur once again. Offering money for cannonades (both for land and for sea), catapults, ballistea, scorpions, and whatever other manner of static or semi-static artillery are available to be sold. Similarly, engineers who can construct such are invited to seek work under the magnanimous House Fuvur.

(prices are not listed. i desire rp, come haggle with me)

Unrelatedly, House Fuvur also calls upon meteorites. Any meteoric iron or other metal that can be identified as being made by the heavens that is delivered into the hands of House Fuvur will be rewarded with an exorbitant sum.

If only Steph knew anything about this what so ever.

Way to steal my thun- erm metors.

I thought cannons aren't allowed to be made?
Since hand cannons and matchlocks aren't allowed due to black powder and gunpowder, even though they were around in the 1500's. So how could cannons be allowed if its the same technology.

 

[LiraKitty]

Cannons have been around for some time now.

It's less pre-printing press and more that tech isn't allowed to reach a paradigm-shifting point. Ships behave about the same functionally up until ironclads and steamships. Stationary cannons exist as defenses and on ships, but more portable guns are a revolution in warfare. The printing press is the major one listed because its invention massively accelerated the speed at which knowledge spreads, and made it far easier to preserve it as well.

Best explanation I have found.

Old-Seadog if there is still that rock in Valerius, I want to turn it in >

I did the tiniest bit of research, and it looks like our time lock is literally just a century before early muskets and land-based artillery became a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Smaller, earlier cannons, however, were being experimented with in Europe as early as the 13th century (we're in the 14th century, to clarify).

Legions cannons are literally best-in-altera

*is making cannon works y for t he city wonders if he should endure the nwalme mood and negativity* XD

Lydel Balistia available in RH, could easily acquire some by talking to dat boi.

I have a nice small one man balastia design in my creative area, Ced designs them IC. lets RP

 

[Old-Seadog]

I'd like to turn some of my meteorite stone into cash. Should I just come to Sanardu with a bunch of it?

Roy has heard this, and sent a message to thordil asking for his help in constructing said weapons, as Ironwall isn't cheap ;~;

Confirmed, Roy will be visiting Sanardu sometime soon to talk to Nwalme and Nylarii about him and his apprentices working on some siege weapons for them.

Cause that went so well the fist time. :3

Before my carpenter character 'Kublai' went inactive, he started looking into crafting ballista's but he never got into it that much.
So unless you are willing to spend quite some time rping until he understands how to make them?
(would hope to be working closely with blacksmiths in this case, since it's both wood and metal that'll be needed)

Not to forget that virtually EVERY ship on this server has Canons ^^ So I just Think that Canons might already introduced in this world.. or are those all just paper models ^^

i did not expect this many responses; by all means, anyone who wants to sell their siege engines or wants to have nwalme contract them to make him siege engines, come visit him in sanardu
