DAY 9
The noose of the world tightens, drawing nearer all those who carry King Wynston’s blood in their veins. The time for separation draws to a close. Soon, there will be a reunion.
A bloody, bloody reunion.
The time draws nigh for last kisses and final rites. Already, the air stinks of death, and the stench will only grow as the days slip by like a clutched treasure through lifeless hands.

DAY 8
An old painting once hung in the grand palace of King Wynston depicting his three children, his prized triplets, posing in their finery, each atop their mount. In the painting, the three look cheeeful, enjoying the company of the others. The horses, too, look content. It was a favorite painting of King Wynston, and he often spent his endings admiring it.
Not long after the current Age commenced, the painting was torn from the wall and promptly burned. That was the day the Maketes, Noetic, and Pathos clans were born.

Day 7
The pawns are set and the game begins. Troops are on the move, the noonday sun glinting off their armor. Old manuscripts have come out into the light for the first time in centuries. Woodland creatures roam the forests, their plots mysterious.
Some men who awoke this morning vigorous and life-lusty will end this day cold and disfigured in a shallow grave.

Sorry about the delay!

Day 6
It is a story that has been told for nearly a millennium. Even now, from the high mansions of Kerch to the shantytowns of Mulsgod, from the far eastern regions of the Noetic to the northlands of the Maketes clan to the sandy south where the Pathoses reside, parents still sit on the edge of their children’s beds and tell that age-old story.
The tale follows foolish Prince Hooffoot, who stomps around his parents’ palace, terribly spoiled. He gets into awful mischief (the mischief often mirroring that of the youngster hearing the story) and eventually he receives his comeuppance: he gets turned into a hairy little goat. It is only then that he sees the error of his ways.
In the midst of the great turmoil, this story finds its way into the minds of the multitudes as they stare down the pike toward inevitable conflict. Oh—to be a child again, hearing your mum (the gods rest her soul) tell that story once more.
“Now ya best be heedin’ me words,” she would always say before giving you a kiss atop your head, “or ye’ll end up jus’ like that hairy wee prince. I halfways see yer hoofs already!”

Have your chosen clan representative comment their willingness in the GENERAL/QUESTIONS COMMENTS comment. Not doing so before Monday night at 9pm EST will result in the lost of 2 Morale and 10 XP.

DAY 5
The monsoon wore on for days—too many days—but then passed sometime in the night, and this morning the sky is shot through with red. You remember that adage from your childhood, “Red sky in the morning—sailor’s warning,” but maturity has taught you that you need be a seafarer to take your warnings from the heavens. The ravens chants grow louder in all the halls across the fractured country, their “brews!” and “changes!” echoing in your mind.
Today is different. Today is certainly different.
Day 5 Tasks
TIMEFRAME UPDATES: After talking through everything and receiving feedback from you all, we have decided to post updates a bit less often. Updates will now be posted Monday, Wednesday, and Friday around 10pm EST. The reasons being, it gives everyone a chance to participate during their selected time of day, and it keeps our wives from killing us for spending too much time on it haha jk they are super supportive of our game company! However, we do want to make sure we have a good balance of time between this, our company’s other game projects, and our family. So, thanks so much for understanding!
SYSTEM UPDATES: While we do want to continue this adventure with you all through this post, we understand it’s getting a bit hectic and will become even more so. With that in mind, we have decided to delete (archive) all previous day information and clan decisions. This information will however be available for you to reference if you so choose on our website at kinsonkeygames.com/thecommandpost.
NOTIFICATIONS: This is something we have been racking our brains on to figure out the best way to do it. The only sure fire way that you will get a notification is if you are tagged. So, as part of your clan decision for Day 5, you will need to select 1 clan member to be your notification representative. Whenever we post an update, we will tag each representative from the clans. Then, that representative will be responsible for tagging the rest of their clan. I think only 1 or 2 people signed up for the emails, so we will NOT be sending out emails. All clan members should be notified by their clan representative.

DAY 4
The storm from the east grows in intensity, forcing even the most hearty countrymen indoors. In the rafters of the great halls, the ravens circle and caw: “Times a-change, change, change! War a-brews, brews, brews!”
The rain pounds down upon the rooftops, beating a cadence that stirs conversation. The topic: the changing tides of life. The ravens are correct; the times are changing. The time to consider all important decisions is now. The choices made on the morrows will echo through the annals of history for the Ages to come.
Day 4 Tasks
Use this down time to recruit more people to join your clan. Soon, the numbers will be of utmost importance.
Be sure to save this post, so you have easy returning access. The only real easy way for us to notify you when an update has been posted is through email. If you would like to receive an email click this link (kinsonkeygames.com/thecommandpost). Please note, due to how our website is set up, you will also be signing up for our company (Kinson Key Games) newsletter. We totally understand if you do not want to sign up, so feel free to just save the Facebook post.
We would love to hear from you on what you think the best timeframe for updates would be. While it’s a lot of fun doing it everyday, some people have voiced that it doesn’t give everyone enough time to vote. Also, from our perspective, it’s quite the amount of work keeping everything updated and writing each day’s story and clan decision haha (which is done day by day mostly by the incredible mind of Koltin Thompson). So, we would be more than happy to post an update potentially every other day if that is something that would work for you all. Please let us know by voting on the DAY 4 - ALL CLANS comment and replying with your thoughts.
DAY 3
A storm brews, both in the east and in the minds of the men and women across the divided nation. Peals of thunder echo through the hills and dells like the voice of Hüur, that great and awful god of the thunderclouds.
The deliberations went late into the night last night. The Maketes clan in their fortified towers spoke in hushed tones over their tankards of mead. The people of the Noetic waxed on eloquent, their pipesmoke filling the high ceilings of The Temple of Our Lady. Far in the sultry south, the Pathos clan drank their wine and weighed their options.
The rolling thunder, that threat of the coming storm, draws nearer, and a universal truth settles upon all the factions: the board is set; the pawns are placed. The Magnaludum, the great game of old men’s prophecies (or old wives’ tales) is soon to begin.
Day 3 Tasks
Milestones have been added to the STATS BREAKDOWN section and a penalty for members of your clan not voting has been added. Read these updates in the MILESTONES & STATS BREAKDOWN comment. LIKE the comment once you have read it.

DAY 2
A new day dawns, and while the sun shines brightly across the land, there is a haze of unease settling across the fractured nation.
There have been rumors of a coming struggle for years, since the time of your grandfather’s grandfather, but now the ravens are circling and the wind carries a chill even in the heat of summer.
Among the councils of the three factions, the same question echoes: “What must be done? For it is no longer a question of IF there will be a war, but WHEN.”
Day 2 Tasks
Read the STATS BREAKDOWN comment so you’ll understand how your stats are determined.

DAY 1
During the waning days of the last Age, the aged monarch, King Wynston, died before he could choose his heir. Because his wife only bore him triplets before dying in childbirth, there was no clear successor among his three children.
At first, the kingdom succeeded as an oligarchy, with the three children running the country as a single unit, but soon the infighting began, and the new Age was ushered in as the three children of the dead king—the two crown princes and the high princess—broke apart violently from one another. Time healed some wounds, as time surely does, and within a century the three clans lived in relative peace.
Now, all these centuries later, there are murmurings of a coming war. The High Throne, empty for close to 500 years, yearns for a monarch, and all three factions of the nation feel it is their right.
Day 1 Tasks
Choose your Clan by replying to the CLAN comment of your choosing with your character’s name (make it up).
