The Great War Between TBR/Black Wolves and the K-Island

[MakeBeliever]

A little more about Kirinn.
Kara, Donald and General Lloyd were kidnapped by Mine and Rau Nick and Robert i believe. They were unharmed just dragged. We wanted Ben for sure, but he was safely onboard a bike so that saved him from kidnapping. We went prepared there expecting Cross to be there, but unfortunately he was away, so we missed our chance there. No swords were plunged at that point till the pesky James a sailor spoke up and tried causing trouble. We quickly sailed back to the Galleon prisoners in tow. They were dragged to the Wolves Wrath and told they wouldn't be harmed. That was ment at the time, all that was wanted was keys at that point. Strangely the Galleon was unlocked giving Kara her perfect timing to escape on a boat, but she chose one attached that had a strong and alert Blackrock aboard. We all watched it sail back and forth just waiting till something happened. Luckily for us the Blackrock aboard was stronger and she got control enough to dock back to the Galleon. General Lloyd was killed because of Kara's not listening to our requests and trying to escape as punishment to show we ment business. At the same time James yet again very brave facing a Galleon full of Blackrocks, but couldn't fight worth mentioning docked the Wolves Wrath. Again mysteriously the Galleon was unlocked (even after being told outloud do not unlock the Galleon). So this yet again gave free reign for James to escape with our hostages and that is how Kara escaped the clutches of Blackrocks. James quickly set a course for what looked like Kwor. So seeing as we had keys from Genral Lloyd we docked the Wolves Wrath to Kirinn which is where we bumped into Stylez and he rejoined his family.
Those left standing were dragged inside and locked away safely not harmed. We plundered where we could with what keys we had and of course couldn't resist breaking into Cross's shop and taking all his tools at the time. However we broke into his storeroom only to find very little. By this time we knew that word would be spreading the island of our docking because of James and his bravery saving the Guardians. We did see two people come to the harbour while we were there, but we wasn't spooked, there was reason for waiting. Stylez killed off Ben for the tribe soon coming back aboard while we decided what we were doing next. Had we got all keys without Kara's escaping General Lloyd would still of been alive at that point. It was an intended base, but things didn't go as planned. So we set sail to Burgeo after leaving our mark on the island. So two died at the hands of Blackrocks at Kirinn, those being Ben and General Lloyd.
The reason for returning to Noniwrok at all was because we had been met at Fu Put by Firecam. We decided to give the island the Blackrocks they were wanting because they just wouldn't leave the Tribe alone.. Although initially Rau Nick had wanted a new base on Fu Put with a new life for the Tribe, away from politics and the hatred of Blackrocks on Noniwrok but that wasn't to be.

Oh yeah, damn you Tyson Braddock for not waiting one more day! You were supposed to take me off that animal infested island!!! But alas, sleeping sickness changes lives. My character would be in a very different position if he hadn't gotten sleeping sickness, very different indeed.

[Doug R.]

I don't remember how she died. It could've been to sleep, or a heart attack. Or maybe she died at the Blackrock's hands. I don't quite remember.

She walked inside the temple of Klug and died. Tyson took her keys, cleaned out all the buildings he had access to, and left for Fu Put. Kirinn was always a hole, and I never hated anyplace more as a player than I hated Kirinn. Everyone slept, including Kara both Times when Tyson was there, and no one had any drive or purpose, except Cross, who just lived locked up inside his shop. Now I know why; he probably couldn't stand the place either. The leaders there always seemed incompetant, also.

The Blackrocks did Noniwrok a service by purifying Kirinn.

Oh, and Makebeliever, the people locked up by the Blackrocks in the castle were not safe; they were starving to death. It is typical in a town with an abundant amount of food that the residents carry very little on their person.

Kirinn... Ben Casey was on a trip to replace or assist Donald Orscher - the Guardian living in the Karnon Forest amoungst the Blackrocks... General Lloyd had sent Ben as he was worried there had been no word from him and from the Forest in a long while... When Ben arrived, Orscher was in Karnon and Nick told Ben that he should go there and find him... which he did.

They returned to the Forest together and Ben was able to obtain a key to the Kirinn Guardians Outpost from Orscher... and even had it duplicated by Nick or Erin... Things were a bit strange in the forest at that time, but not that Ben noticed and not that Orscher mentioned... but Orscher spent most of his time in the Outpost.

One day, Ben was told that he had two choices... He could become a Blackrock... or leave the Forest... No longer were Kirinn Guardians welcome. Stylez Blackrock was one of the most vocal and aggressive of the group in the Forest at that time and Ben disliked him intensely.

This set of choices was something Ben would not comply to... and after spending some time in the Outpost repairing his equipment and waiting for Orscher to wake up... he took all the healing food and metal he could carry and ran down the road... Suprisingly he was not chased at that time... but when he arrived in Karnon, he proceeded to tell all the leaders about what he saw and warned them to be wary... At every stop on his return to Kirinn, he spoke of the Blackrocks and their choke hold on the hematite supply.

He even crossed paths with a Blackrock on a bike that was distributing positive information about the tribe... and I am sure the word got back to the Forest about what he was doing. When he finally arrived in Kirinn, the General was sleeping a great deal and could or would not give Ben any guidance... and as Kara said earlier... Kirinn was a quiet and peaceful town. Ben believed that Orscher was lost and the Guardian Outpost in the Forest with him... and the Guardians at that point consisted of a sleeping leader and Ben.

The next part is a blur... Stylez arrived in Kirinn and began to verbally battle with Ben.... saying Ben had ran from the Forest and was weak... Ben argued back, but without any support ... verbal battles were all he was able to engage in. At some point Ben woke to find Nick and a crew in Kirinn... and getting off the bike he found that most of the residents were also gone... And not being able to see what had happened... he challenged Nick and Stylez... and eventually was met with an attack from Nick I think...

Now Ben had the key to the Harbour... and so he ran there to avoid being killed or captured... For days he would go in and out of the harbour and at one point the Blackrocks landed a ship in the harbour and Ben was forced to hide on the other side of the gate... taking any opportunity to strike at Nick or Stylez... with little success.

He found a note that said people were being held inside one of the buildings, so Ben tried to break the lock... and sent notes to each surrounding towns with a plea for help... whenever he could get a newspawn or wanderer to take on the task...

Help never came for Ben and he was finally killed by Stylez without being able to fight back. Ben did his best and is one of my heros... he wasn't visible to many, but I remember getting up in the middle of the night more than once to check and see if a Blackrock ship had docked.

Written from a character's perspective.

Lucky for me, Styles drove off on a motorbike and was away for a while so Nick sent me to find him. Let's just send Buff on foot to chase a motorbike, that will work. He'll either outrun you or you will have to search every place on the island if he is dead. I did that, i walked the whole island, do yo uknow how long it takes to walk to each region on that island? and when I returned, there stood Commander Blaire and his hot wife. I think she liked me. Needless to say they tried to capture me and take me back to Karnon to be held on trial for war crimes, but they can't catch Buff. They even tried to say a chick named Melissa was back in Karnon asking about me. That one almost worked.

Buff was so full of himself. He just knew every lady was in love with him. A great character, nice job.

[Cherize]

Being not long after Captain Andur and Coco had left and just after suffering yet another attack from others late in the war arriving in town onfoot shouting. "You are ******* Blackrock and you will die for your crimes" My char almost getting killed at that point by a well aimed crossbow from Pamela and a Gentleman from the allied armies till mine ranted for ages and not very politely about the recent war treaty. Commander Blair at that point had days before only just left and was on his way sailing to catch Bryon Blackrock who had arrived and docked just at the time peace talks were being held and from him killing Pink, it was still chaos there. Pamela took one of the last of the longboats claiming that for themselves and taking it back to Noniwrok with a few dead victims from Kwor with her. Lucinda then arrived and was after a boat now aswell. One which Ron had been using for sailing for years from what i remember. In fact mine had thought Ron had turned sides at one point because he was sailing off somewhere when the war was happening and not involved in the fighting, he didn't want a war, not many that were there really did but were forced to fight it. Ron turned up ashore mid war action and mine spotted him and had him dragged inside, to which he ran straight back out and disappeared because he had a key to Austins. So then mine almost hit a panic then, was he a traitor, did they now have the Austin building keys. Mine had come out of Austins to see Ron talking quietly to Nayr on one of their docking attacks, just before getting him dragged inside.(Plenty of near dragging and killings happened in the war but thats a long story)anyway Ron wasn't a traitor and had been trying to organise healing foods as we found out later, but decided it best off back to sea because he didn't know what the hell was going on at that point with the tribe or the war.

Well anyways. Lucinda had arrived looking like she had been given a gorilla hug too many maybe 60 to 70% health already gone, so mine had to decide quickly. Lose another boat leaving them stranded on Burgeo with nothing but a dinghy left if they did, but gain a motorbike which belonged to the Tribe anyway. Or to just take her out with a Claymore because she carried such injuries already. Mine conspired inside with the others while outside being polite and welcoming, asking questions about the travels Lucinda had taken till Mine knew enough were awake to take her out swiftly. When i had responses from those awake and ready. Mine looked up and called her a traitor, claiming she had murdered Stylez for the bike and carried his weapons that she was there to steal what little we had left and if the boat was hers she would have the key. So swords came flying from all directions and by god Lucinda dodged like a ninja from a variety of heavy weaponry, actually waking and managing to speed of on the motorbike down a path shouting loudly"You ungrateful sh*ts I brought your bike back" Mine was in a panic then, if she got away and managed to tell others the treaty was surely broken. But by pure luck an almost new newspawn woke and was given the best sword we had left. She legged it down the path and sure enough was an expert aim and finished the job of ending Lucinda. I know this happened after the war but still a few years ago now, but it's not going to be found out ingame because Lucinda's body is long gone and buried. So i feel that much can be revealled here to you without harming my character with people reading the events here, and sorry about the hard work lost on your map making. Which i was gutted on reading, because i do like well made maps.

And Gentleman enough to pretend not to recognize you a few weeks ago. As for what you did to Lucinda, I didn't find it out in game, so I guess you get to live.

[Doug R.]

If I remember correctly, when Balyard was in Blackrock forest, he asked Donald Oscher if he was still a guardian or became a blackrock, and Oscher told him that he was a blackrock. This confused me, because after the proverbial poop hit the fan, Balyard ran across Oscher in several places on the island among the "good guys." I always wondered after that if Oscher really wasn't using his Guardianship to spy for TBR. Or, I could be remembering that all entirely wrong.

[Cherize]

Over the years I had some characters involved with TBR.

Cherize, spawned 780, died 1096

Was instantly charmed by Nick when he gave her a hide bikini to cover her body. Who knew he would spend every waking hour trying to take it back off? Became love interest #23 out of 71, I mean really Brandon did you every have a character that did not try to seduce every other character of the opposite sex? Not to mention every female palyer in the game. But I digress. Stayed true to Nick for years and met some memorable characters, like Austin, Rick O'shea, Hvythg, but grew tired of Nick's bossiness and left him.

Met a true gentleman named Joseph Young and set sail on The Dreamer for unknown lands. Unfortunately The Dreamer should have been called The Nightmare, because we discover an island that we explored for 6 years without ever seeing an animal or food source. Nice job, Programming Dept. Yeah, we starved to death.


Estiil, spawned 780-still alive

Yeah, I had two characters in the same tribe, so sue me. Estiil concentrated her efforts on cooking, refining, making weapons, and eventually be in charge of the "inside" endeavors of TBR. Stayed after Cherize left and got to meet Ethan and some of the younger members. Fended off Nick's advances by being an avowed lesbian, only to end up being approached by one of Brandon's female characters. Eventually stole a TBR boat from Karnon Seaside and took off. Living happily ever after.


Kiirin, spawned 780-died 1337

Kiirin spawned here and was #3 in KORT behind Oblio and Kay Stevenson. When Oblio went insane, he allowed Nick to execute him. KORT flourished under the astute leadership of Kay and Kiirin took over after her death. On a side note, hopefully the player of Kay is reading this. Her spirit was so great, that when she died, three bodies appeared, all named Kay. Kiirin was forced to walk a tightrope in Karnon Fields trying to remain nuetral between the forces of Karnon and TBR. KORT ran a very lucrative business, trading onions for hematite with TBR. When Nick told Kiirin he and the others were leaving, he helped him move his provisions to the Seaside and was rewarded with all of the keys to Karnon Forest. It was Kiirin's utmost pleasure to live in the hometown of Holly and Toast, to this day the greatest couple that I have ever met. When Kiirin finally felt that Linsey was ready to take over KORT, I pulled the pin on him, having run out of time to play all of my characters.


I had one other character, who came into contact with TBR, attacking them by land and killing many fleeing members along the road. He shall remain nameless.

Whether you loved or hated TBR, even if you had a personal problem with Brandon, CANTR was never boring with Nick and TBR around. A legendary character, who will most likely never be forgotten.

[Joshuamonkey]

I've only ever had one character on k island. (still alive)

Up until Nick and Steven were killed there were no casualties at all on the TBR side and, I think, about 6-9 on the island side plus a few prisoners of war. I totally thought TBR would win! It was thrilling while it lasted.

The evil never last..well, atleast the infamous ones.

My second was Commander Zandy Harrin, the odd and proud Commander of Unit 4. He was part of the non-eventful march on Karnon Forest, which turned out to be nothing more than a hot headed shoving match by a couple youngsters in the ranks.
He may have been one of the first casualties of the battle. I'll never know.

Youngsters? I believe I was a Private for about a decade...
I do believe you were the first casualty of that whole sea battle thing.

The war was lost in just one final battle when Nick and Steven landed on a boat to attack and, like, six chars with crossbows ready instantly hit them and killed them. Another char in the boat with them was able to undock right away and bring the bodies back and tell the story.

Crossbows? Should've seen me stick a claymore through their hearts. Muahahahaha!

lol, I think it was exactly 5 Cantr years later when I put on the I am thread who I killed.

So that's what that other person in the boat did..I wish I had Nicki's dead body; there was a 10 kilos of iron and steel reward for it.

By the way, when I attacked them, it lagged a bunch, so I got the last hit in and it actually said they undocked before I hit them.


If all this stuff is really over, can I tell about what my character knows about Brian Grob former blackrock? (who is dead) I've already shown a bunch of people the notes.

[kinvoya]

I'm enjoying all of these stories very much. I'd love to hear more about what happened in Burgeo when the K-Islanders took over.

It sounds OK to me for you to tell about Brian Grob, Joshuamonkey, unless you are going to tell about secret things that involve a living char. Maybe you should list all the chars involved in your tale first and if someone objects they can PM you. There are a couple of stories of evil I would love to tell but the evil doers are still living and I don't want to influence anyone's opinion of them.

I wish I had Nicki's dead body; there was a 10 kilos of iron and steel reward for it.

I never knew that. I wonder if there has been a higher reward placed on anyone's life in Cantr. Was that 10 kilos each of iron and steel or total?

Rosemary buried Steven at Burgeo. Nicki Blackrock's body lies in the heart of the sloop Inala Lusa where brave little Rosemary also rests.

[Joshuamonkey]

!0 kilos of iron and 10 kilos of steel

the only living character I think is Ally, and I guess Andur too.

I think for me to just copy and paste the notes here would be too long..

[InsaneIrony]

Ah, what I'd like to know is what happened to everyone on Noniwrok after my characters all died. Like, what happened to the Tuath de Dannan? or to Kirinn Soufields? Or to Cross and Kirinn? O_o

By the sound of things, there was a lot of fighting I missed...
The funny thing about that war, was that I never really knew whether or not it was over or how it had ended.

[Joshuamonkey]

I'll be at Mexico for a week, so I probably won't be on forums much...

[Zanthos]

Tuath de Dannan is still alive, but looks very different. I truthfully dont know more than 3 or 4 other members of the family.

[sanchez]

Tuath de Dannan is still alive, but looks very different. I truthfully dont know more than 3 or 4 other members of the family.

Several renounced the clan and changed their names.
