Chatterbox: KYNGDOM™

*Kyngdom Q+A

*Kyngdom Q+A

Welcome, Chatterboxers, to the new Kyngdom board! You'll notice a few things have changed. We hope these changes will make it easier for both longtime and new users to participate in the story.

First, we've asked Dr. Sheepshank from Cypher Labs to comb through all the threads and put together a summary and history of the Kyngdom story so far. You’ll see that in the "Story So Far." He'll continue adding to it as the story grows.

Second, we've reduced the number of active threads. The only active threads will be the ones you see on the main page. These threads (many of which are inspired by your ideas!) will help us keep the story organized.

Third, to keep the story manageable, you will no longer be able to start your own new threads on the main page. A smaller number of threads will be easier for everyone to digest, and it will be more obvious where the action is happening, and what the action is. You can still create role-play (RP) threads on the Kyngdom RP Board

Don’t worry! Your old threads are not gone. You can still read them in the Kyngdom Archive, but you will no longer be able to comment on them. 

We hope you like the changes. If you have any suggestions for new threads, new groups you want to form, or general questions for us, feel free to comment below.

We've had an exciting few months building and growing Kyngdom. We love all the ideas you are bringing to this adventure. Have fun, and happy writing!

There's more than one. Last I checked there was one in the ruins of the old B.I.G. base in the mountains, one underground that Ronan found us, and one hidden in a forest somewhere. I think that last one is currently unknown to all of our enemies unless Karune goes completely insane. There are probably other bases and safe spots scattered throughout Kyngdom.

Which is the main one?

Presumably the one in the woods because no enemies know about it, but I actually don't know. There might be more than one main base. I don't think it really matters.

I'm thinking of making another charrie--actually, I've already started. And I was wondering, could I make a Nobyl charrie that's also a Homo Avian? Or do Nobyls have to be human?

I don't think there's really a rule. All of them so far have been. I think it would make more sense for them to all be human though, because when the government was founded the Cypher hadn't been made so humans still thought that all animals couldn't think.

Ok, thanks. Homo Avians aren't exactly animals, though, so I thought maybe that would work. Or she could have been adopted into a Nobyl family...I might do that, actually.

I used to be fairly updated on the story, but went inactive to focus on art. Now that I'm back, I'm rather confused on what has happned. When will the story so far thread be updated?

Cricket isn't updating the story so far any longer. But any Chatterboxer is welcome to do it.

Heyyyyyy I'm back! Sorry, I know this is like the thousandth time I've disappeared and come back months later, but I'm gonna try to keep up with Kyngdom from now on. I read through a couple threads that mostly confused me, so if anyone would be willing to tell me what exactly is going on, and where I can jump in, I'd much appreciate it. It's so good to be back!

I’m not sure when you left, so let me go back just a bit. 

Basically, Catastrophe and the Resistance has a huge battle in which kingdoms united and many died. However, there’s still a final battle to come. Meanwhile, the powers are activated again and trying to find each other (I think), but I would check the thread that Claaws made on the RP Board. After the battle, many returned back to the new Resistance base in Mer (that Queen Harbor made before she died), and began to devise a new plan as to how to defeat Catastrophe. During this time, Icy went on an adventure with the Oracle. Anyway, the Resistance somehow arranged a diplomatic meeting with Catastrophe that took place between him, myself, Sprocket, and Alexander (the fox anthro). There was another meeting arranged, and things are more at peace, but it’s actually more of a standstill since neither party has sorted out the problem yet. The three artefacts (the Sword, Shield, and Crown), are all over the place. Catastrophe has the Sword, Trixie the Shield, and myself the power of the Crown (I drained it somehow). Right now, Connie is trying to get the Shield from Trixie so that we can harness the powers to defeat Catastrophe and restore peace to Kyngdom. There are two new recruits for the Resistance- Sylenia, who is an armour designer and my cousin, and Secret, who is a mapmaker.  

That’s pretty much it. I’ll tell you if I forgot something.

Welcome back! ^^

Thank you, Mina. Much appreciated!

I made this plot summary for Scylla, if it helps:

With no one around to write for them, the Powers lost their place in the spotlight. The focus instead shifted to the Resistance and their Power-less war on Catastrophe. Ronan explained that the latter had discovered the tale of three ancient, powerful magic relics known as the Sword, the Shield and the Crown. With all three, he would be able to rule Kyngdom forever. But they must be collected in order. He took the Sword easily and set out for the Shield, attending a meeting with several Resistance members on the Oracle's flower in Eastern Kyngdom for a prophecy. A decoy was discovered and the flower burned. Catastrophe took the decoy, thinking it the real Shield, and set out for the Crown, which was in the possession of Queen of the Dolor Felis and Resistance General Mina. Catastrophe crashed an event she was attending and the whole thing turned into an all-night battle. It is unclear who won. 

Harbor Reinedela Mer (and I do hope I spelled that right) died, leaving behind an heir named Ocean. shadow returned to life, sans wings and on the agreement that she take the lives of five specific people or never enter the afterlife. Brynn, the Angel of Death, also died, and Alexandria turned out to have never died in the first place, escaping SOCS, dyeing her hair and taking the name Marie. Headmistress Rigga also died at the hands of Mina and her now-also-deceased friend (read: romantic partner) Baron, and the SOCS was largely if not entirely dissolved. The Elites discovered that elf magic, in sufficient quantities, may have an effect against Jaaws. One of my charries found a magically protected old house in Great Forest (or was it Secret Forest?), and a promising apprentice practitioner of magic from another world will be coming soon. 

The Resistance had a diplomatic meeting with Catastrophe and his officers, after which Mina drained the Crown's power into herself, and Alexandria/Marie took that power into herself, saying she knew how to control/safely dispose of it. Catastrophe was told that the Crown had been drained and that the Shield was being drained and now believes their power to be gone. The whereabouts of the true Shield are only known to Trixie W., a member of the Elites, and possibly her family.

Icy left with the/an Oracle to look for the Powers, and Caelani took Blazing Star's drum. Ayearth is possibly evil/possessed, and many Sideaffected Powers have allied with Catastrophe.

I probably missed some stuff, and I definitely skipped over some details, but that's most of it as I remember. Hope this helps!

Thanks Viola! That definitely clears some stuff up.

Hey Moonshadow, it's good to see you again!

I think Mina and Viola? pretty much covered it all. Cealani is also evil/possessed.

If you're looking for a place to jump in, I'm planning on bringing my other character, Kimi, (a raccoon anthro) back into play soon. I still have to decide what exactly she plans on doing (I have an idea), but if you wanted, Moonshadow and Kimi could run into each other somewhere along the way.

Hey! It's good to see you too! Thanks. And yeah, that sounds like it might work!
