The Long Night Part One: Embers in the Dusk: A Planetary Governor Quest (43k) Complete Sequel Up
- Thread starter Durin
- Start date
Oh yeah.. late at night. Not good for math.
Also, Hollin does not have the railway either. Gnaw Worms are around in Lindon too.
We've only done railways for Elysium, Ardia, and Everglades.
@durin can you confirm that our purchase of help from Vanaheim to complete our Orbital defenses will not delay the orbital defenses for Alfheim and Nilfheim?

Time to get caught up on this thread. Here's the cleanup of Governmental Systems to start with; even though not many mistakes were present, there were still some.
The Nine Worlds Conference: Governmental Systems
As the main force behind the consideration of a central government, you are asked to give your proposals as the first order of business on the second day of the conference. These three proposals, the Imperial Trust, the Imperial Remnant and the second Imperial Remnant have several major similarities. All of them are federations where the central government claims little authority over the individual planets and put most of the power in the hands of the Planetary Governors.
The Imperial Trust contains a High Council, Low Council, Security Council and High Judges. This plan is supported in principle by Governor-General Aelfric of Midgard, Governor Olaf of Vanaheim and Champion Surt of Muspelheim for its separate Security Council which gives a greater amount of independence to the military, though the implication that ships will not be permanently assigned to the Imperial Navy is not approved of.
The first Imperial Remnant plan contains a High Council, Low Council, Executive Panel and High Judges. This plan is supported in principle by Governor Garp of Jotunheim who seems to like the number of checks on the power of the individual portions of the government.
The second plan for an Imperial Remnant with its Executive Council, Legislative Chamber and Judicial Panel gives the greatest power to the executive and maintains the Adeptus Mechanicus as a disparate organisation, something that you know that Forge Master Britton is actually opposed to. King Zaren of Alfheim supports this proposal.
Lord Marshal Sigurd proposes a far more minimal plan in which the only purpose of the central government is to manage the previously agreed-on organisations and it is run by groups similar to the High and Low Council of your proposals. Both Lord Marshal Sigurd and First Artesian Granalf support this plan.
After the plans are put forward, there is much debate on which one to follow. The one main agreement is that the details of the plan will be changed after one is chosen and that a least two thirds of the Planertary Governors must agree on a single plan for it to be approved.
You can convince someone to support a plan if they have at least 7/10 opinion of Avernus and they will lose 5 of that opinion if you do. Write-ins can change that.

CharlBaal, a lot of the planet names are misspelled on your map, with '-hiems' everywhere. Why do you do this? Muspelheim also only requires one 'L'.
Since the map has been declared canon, please go to the Local Systems information sheet and look at how the names are spelled in that, and fix it in your map; it would be much appreciated.
Cleanup of Hashing out the Details.
The Nine Worlds Conference: Hashing out the Details
After several days of debate and negotiations, and you calling in a favour with Sigurd, one of your plans is agreed on as the basis of the system of government for the Nine Worlds. Now that a general system has been decided, the details need to be worked on.
The first common issue with the original proposal was that ships given to the Imperial Navy were only loaned and not given. You have agreed to change this so that the ownerships of these ships is now given to the Imperial Navy and that one half, rounding down, of all new ships acquired, excluding replacements for combat losses, are given to the Imperial Navy. These ships must be of equivalent or better quality and size as those kept be the Planetary Governor. The Imperial Navy may buy or build new ships with its budget or enter into an arrangement where it will loan ships from a Planetary Government for a period of time.
Next is the discussion on the size of the Imperial Guard forces. The different proposals here represent different opinions on how the Imperial Guard is the be used, ranging from a quick rapid reaction strike-force that smashes small raids and buys time for the sector against invasions all the way to a massive military capable of matching any one of the Planetary Governors' forces.
The first proposal is for a small, elite strike-force that will be able to rapidly react to any attack. This force would consist of 5% of Asgard's Knights (5 maniples), 25% of the Nine Worlds Grenadiers (700 Regiments) and 2% of the front line PDF regiments (700 Regiments). Currently, Asgard and Svartalfheim support this proposal.
The next proposal is for a significant military capable of conducting major campaigns by itself and garrisoning vulnerable worlds. This force would consist of 10% of Asgard's Knights (10 maniples), 20% of the Nine Worlds Grenadiers (550 Regiments) and 10% of the front line PDF regiments (3,500 Regiments). Currently, Jotunheim, Vanaheim and Midgard support this proposal.
The third proposal is to make the Imperial Guard a massive force capable of putting a garrison on every world and fighting major campaigns by itself. This force would consist of 15% of Asgard's Knights (15 maniples), 20% of the Nine Worlds Grenadiers (550 Regiments), 20% of the front line PDF regiments (7,000 Regiments) and 5% of the second line PDF (25,000 Regiments). Currently, Alfheim and Muspelheim support this idea.
Champion Surt proposes a even bigger military force that will be capable of matching the armies of the major military planets. This would put a significant fraction of the Nine World's military forces in the Imperial Guard providing several benefits and disadvantages, such as providing a large unified military force that is under a single group's control and therefore more vulnerable to treason and heresy. This force would consist of 25% of Asgard's Knights (25 maniples), 30% of the Nine Worlds Grenadiers (800 Regiments), 50% of the front line PDF regiments (17,000 Regiments) and 10% of the second line PDF (50,000 Regiments). Currently, Muspelheim supports this idea.
Next on the discussion list is how much authority to give the Inquisition. After a period of debate it is agreed that the powers outlined in your constitution are sufficient with the exception that the fact that no outside force has the authority to command an Inquisitor is made clear and that an Inquisitorial representative who can't be a representative on the High Council be added to the security council.
A further point of discussion is held regarding the place of the Adeptus Mechanicus in the new government. Several suggestions are made, of which two gain major support.
The first of these was put forward by Forge Master Britton and gives the Adeptus Mechanicus most of the rights and responsibilities of a independent planet. They will lose the abilities to trade with external groups without permission like other planets but their laws of Tech-Heresy will remain in force throughout the Nine Worlds. Svartalfheim, Vanaheim, Jotunheim and Asgard support this plan.
The other proposal is to have the Adeptus Mechanicus remain as a independent allied nation much like they were to the Imperium. This would give the Mechanicus far more freedom and not tie their actions to those of the Nine Worlds to the same extent, both for good and for ill. Midgard, Muspelheim and Alfheim support this proposal.
Several other modifications are agreed on, such as the appointment of the Adeptus Mechnicus representative to the Security Council now being wholly in the hands of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
Each proposal needs five planets to support it to be passed and you can change a planet's opinion if they have at least 7/10 opinion of Avernus by decreasing their view of Avernus by 4.[/QUOTE]

That was a possibility discussed, but it was actually just a bunch of repeated typos. Durin intended to go with -heim all along.
"-heim" is a germanic suffix-type syllable meaning 'home'. As in, Jotunheim is the abode of the Jotun, the giants of norse mythology. Having done a brief check, I found that while "Muspellheim" with two "L" could also be considered a valid spelling, it does seem like the less used anglicized version of the name. However, I have seen no indication that "-hiem" is a valid rendering of the end of the name of most of these worlds.

Sure. That's true now. But what about in 20000 years when German is a dead language? If durin had been misspelling them on purpose, either as a nod to or to represent, thousands of years of linquistic drift, that would have been a valid decision.
Of course, this is all irrelevant because Durin has said that he did mean to use the proper spelling.

Probably not, given that would be extra work for durin to consider. Also, they've all got their own trade deals with other worlds going on, and the majority of their own trade ships will likely be focused on trade with Midgard and Alfheim.
The ones that don't take any are relatively small, or aren't single time shipments. Food is especially big on the per-unit basis because one unit of food is enough to feed two million people for an entire year. The average American literally eats about one ton of food a year, and while the average citizen in Warhammer likely eats a bit less than that it still amounts to millions of tons a year per unit.
Compare that to a Knight, which though being a ~7m tall killing machine, isn't going to take up nearly as much space overall. If you're only shipping ten a year, it takes up a negligible amount of space relative to larger shipping. Same for things like Advanced Material and Exotic Material - the space needed is very little.
Material is literally our biggest surplus. We produce way more then we need and already have a massive reserve...
You act as if I don't know that. We're also spending 41.5 million material a year in this trade to supply Midgard with 1.5 billion Impalers a year.
Which is still less then half our material income.
I guess it's not a major difference, but it just seems to me that credits with Midgard are more valuable. But I can understand that the other point of view is also reasonable.
Pouring out half a bucket still leaves you with half a bucket when your comparing amounts of supply. The others are small in comparison. Credits at least can be held onto and used later. Perhaps even traded in for favor.
I can't wait until we start producing ships. That should be a serious material sink hopefully.
Map of Avernus (partial)
Looking at the regional descriptions, I don't think bay should extend that far south, though I could be wrong. Also there should only be 18 islands, unless those extras aren't considered part of the Azure Islands.
Also, I believe that the rails between the Everglades and Aridia should be connected.
Last edited:
Well the bay/ocean borders the Everglades so I just extended the bay to match and I considered the Azure Islands to end at Storms End so just 1-2 too many islands in the archipelago proper.
I will need to read the railroad action again as I believed the rail was intraregional only at this point.
I'm thinking cut off that strip of land at the bottom of the bay, and 'round out' the border of the bay and Elysium, with proper open ocean bordering the Everglades and making the bay the right size.
