okay, yes I know what I said about pressure and all that but this is different. I'm gonna plan it properly. and like take my time writing it and stuff (hopefully I do tend to get a bit impatient but I'll try). This is going to be a long term project.
I also wasn't gonna tell y'all about it yet but I need some help and idea so here we are!
basically the idea from this came because my favourite empires kingdom AU thingy is ending soon, and I was like huh it's such a fun idea, and then at about one am last night I decided it would be fun to write one. it's not really similar to the one I was reading (A change in fate by Demon_13 btw) but that's why I'm doing this so I thought you guys should know.
okay yap under the cut <3
the basic idea for this is that there are... hmm maybe four kingdoms. I don't really know how to describe this so if I'm not making sense feel free to ask questions.
there are three empires, ruled by kings/queens, based on empires smp characters (loosely). they are separate but have an alliance called the United Empires (I'm open to changing that icl ik it's not the best. feel free to leave suggestions). each empire also has a couple of lords and ladies about, which is how I'm gonna work in some other empires cameos. There's like a main lady/lord for each empire as well, cause I want more main background characters.
empire one: the ocean empire. ruled by Lizzie the ocean queen (duh). her main lady is lady Katherine of house blossom. her brother, Jimmy is a prince of the ocean empire. because the ocean empire is the largest, she normally takes control of the United Empires.
empire two: the empire of rivendell, ruled by king Scott. his main lady is lady shubble of the undergrove.
empire three: the mezalean empire, ruled by king Joel (ik he was a prince but that doesn't work for this, and I'm also only loosely basing it off empires canon). his main lady is lady gem of the crystal cliffs.
the fourth kingdom that's important in this like, land I'm making is not part of the United empires. hermitopia is a much more modern kingdom in the north, which is ruled by several princes/princesses. they have one ruler in each of the four corner (north south east west) and a high prince/princess is elected to rule the capital city in the middle. each princedom has a prince or princess and then a trained lord, who would take their place should they be elected as the high ruler, or in case of emergency. usually a sibling or child, however can be chosen if the ruler has none (again, me adding more important background characters)
south- the southlands- ruled by princess pearl (bear with me on this), does not have a lord/lady in training yet (for good reason) but I'm open to suggestions for one to come in in the future. I'm thinking maybe impulse? or it could be Martyn but tha might not work.
north- the shadowlands- ruled by prince ren. lord in training is possibly Bigb, not too sure yet. previous Cleo, who I may or may not make his sibling, but not sure.
west- magical mountains- ruled by prince scar- Bdubs is his lord + brother.
east- Tundra valleys, this is what I need the most help with- ruled by prince Etho, Tango is his lord, chosen not siblings.
capital city- the desert- ruled by Grian, the high prince, who was initially the prince of the southlands- the southlands passed onto pearl, his sister. he is in charge of the kingdom as a whole.
I'm not sure how much info I'm actually planning on giving you rn, but I will give you the ships. I'm planning on hopping povs a bit, but this will be a boatboys arranged marriage enemies to lovers fic predominantly, so it'll mostly be based on them. other ships include:
shadowrot: Lizzie and Cleo are married, Cleo is Lizzie's consort. I'm either going to make her rens sibling, or just a noble person from the shadowlands. they did not marry for alliance, and they have more loyalty to Lizzie than Grian, but they wouldn't let Lizzie ever do something to harm the shadowlands in particular.
flower husbands: initially an arranged marriage organised by Lizzie, to strengthen the ocean empires ties with rivendell, but they in loveee dw
shiny duo: the southlands border the crystal cliffs, gems, whatever the female version of a lordship is, and gem and pearl are cutesy. dating not married btw (for now)
scarian: it'll happen at some point, but only when I find a good fill in to run magical mountains. I'm open to changing magical mountains to something else, if it would make a full in more obvious, but rn I'm not sure.
treebark- theyre happening in the shadowlands. not too sure what I wanna do with them yet.
okay i think that it for now. feel free to leave any suggestions, but in particular I'm looking for:
a name for ethos princedom that fits.
a lord/lady for scar and pearl
an alternative name for the United empires
if you think you have a better idea for something I've chosen too btw, leave it, I won't be offended and I might even use it.
