Crown the Empire released a new album today. This album marks the first without vocalist David Escamilla and a further deviation from contemporary metalcore. What do you think of it?
I've known for awhile that the Imperial Diadem doesn't work if you're the Roman Empire and not specifically the ERE. I've seen people often say "why doesn't the diadem work?" when personally I think a more interesting question would be "why doesn't the Roman Empire get a new crown?"
Rather than a diadem why not have a laurel wreath in the style of the old Roman kings? Think about it, it could be made to be an even better crown than the Diadem. Presently the Diadem give 4 stewardship and 1.5 piety and prestige. Why not thrown in an extra buff to make it even more powerful? Perhaps 10 vassal happiness like the Persian Crown, perhaps cross the bonuses of the Reichskrone with the Diadem giving 2 extra diplo (because from this point forward you probably need it.) There's a whole range of interesting ideas of what bonuses you could give a brand new crown rather than just making it so the Diadem works for Byzantium and Rome.

In the warm seas to the southeast of the Queen’s domain is the grand city of Alabastra. A lady of many names, the Ivory City, the White City, the Marble Metropolis, the metropolis of Alabastria is considered the crown jewel of the Ivory Empire of the Southern Isles, it’s primate city and the place where all roads and sea lanes lead.

The two mountains on the city’s western end are where she gets her name. Enormous deposits of a brilliant white limestone deep underground form the mainstay of the capital’s architecture.

The city itself is a conurbation of four large boroughs: Alabasterberg in the centre, Cornbay to the south, Crownburge to the northeast and Ravinbergh to the west. These four settlements expanded into conglomeration as the wealth of the New World flowed into Alabastra’s three ports.
The very centre of business for the empire is in Alabasterberg - the most central of the four major boroughs. A district of contrasts, the open parks of state and the wide major boulevards contrast with the narrow streets and natural expansion of the city itself.

The very centre of any business in Alabastra is the City State Park. Surrounded by great urban palaces, luxurious hotels, the gardens of City Hall are a popular place for congress, relaxation and cultural display. This and its intersection of Marble Road and Imperial Avenue make it the physical and commercial centre of the city.

Hidden away from the the grand avenues are a feature of the city itself; courtyard gardens, hidden palaces and out-of-the-way clubs characterise a larger part of Alabasterberg. Offices, financial ventures and hotels line the broader avenues while cafes, pubs and curio shops sit underneath them.

Hello there, I was curious about India nd it's relationship with Great Britain or the British Empire in the respect. Occasionally, I'd see Indian paramilitaries or Indian soldiers fighting under the British Flag or British Imperial Flag. The 2nd Great War included more then a 1 million Indian's *volunteering*. I wanted to ask, did the British Indians fight of the British Empire out of loyalty to the Crown or was it something else? I mean, those are quite a lot of Indians fighting for the British Empire. . . so what was it? Loyalty or was it an obligation/Ordered to do it?.
Thanks for your time.
I've been tripping a lot for a long time and after a while I decided to trip with my buddy Jake so we tripped quite a few times and we started noticing things we joked about it and referred to it as the wu. We would randomly watch previews on old DVDs and I would play a random song the song in the previews always seem to sync up I also noticed this thing called serendipity I would think something and then it's like I would see a sign of it for example I flipped a cigarette once and I thought oh s*** I hope that it goes out and almost instantaneously on the radio was talking about a fire that is just a small example of the serendipity pay attention because the Serendipity is going to come to affect later in the story so finally me and Jake noticed all this stuff and we put it all together and we realized that something was happening Jacob side from the story I decided to trip with another friend one night is a good friend of mine I've known him since I was a kid Young he would not do LSD so I got him mushrooms tolerance have been down a little bit cuz I haven't tripped in 5 months now I bought a Sheet and I have been already trippin off of that same sheet so we start tripping and it's a rainy nightwe decide to go outside and smoke a cigarette I noticed he looks very dark like I can see the dark in him he then told me he refer to himself as a Satanist no big deal. I just thought it was odd that I could sense the dark in people.So we eventually go inside now when we get in the house I take my shirt off and I had done five tab so I'm tripping pretty hard for some reason I felt the need to explain myself that I was just hot. I don't know what came over me I just thought that I made him uncomfortable. Because I have another buddy who's self-conscious of himself and always seems to crack jokes I have tripped with him quite a few times and he always makes awkward jokes when you go to the restroom so I start explaining myself and I thought that he thought I was gay the more I spoke the more I stuttered and I would just fall on my face every time trying to explain to him this all my friends know me and they know I'm not gay but the moral of this story is that I heard a voice inside it was telling me to surrender to wave my white flag and stop explaining myself and the more that I didn't listen the more it worse it gotso I told him I was going to go into the bathroom because I got cool visuals and I was like oh I'm not doing nothing weird because of my other buddy ho

Hey gang! I’m looking to add this album to my collection, it’s a personal favorite from my youth and I’m having difficulty finding a decent deal for it so if anybody has a copy lying around, HMU and lets see what we can do! Thanks!
You may flip the genders if you wish to.
Name of the character: Prince Leo
Their role in the world: Prince Leo was thought to have been KIA when his mother's cruiser was destroyed by the Magellanics in a first-contact attempt. It turned out that Leo was alive all this time and had just returned from being dead, finally having made it back to Terran space. As Leo is the eldest child in his family, he is set to inherit the Terran throne once again.
Quick summary of the world: Humanity is at war with the alien race known as the Magellanics over the deaths of Empress Ursa, Prince Leo, and the entourage they had taken with them to diplomatically meet with the aliens. That said, with Leo's return and news coming out that a Magellanic had saved his life and taken him home, tensions are now soothing between Terrans and Magellanics. Talk of peace being sued is now something that seems within grasp.
What would you say are a few personality traits of yours?: My father always says I spend too much time procrastinating and not enough time doing important things. Over the past year, I'd say I probably learned a thing or two however about self perseverance and making friends.
What is your moral alignment?: Uhhh... I am a good person. What kind of question was this supposed to be...?
What is the most important thing to you?: My father, my mother (may she rest in peace), my sweet little sister, and the future of the Terran people.
The album is out!
Is anybody here going to the show tonight ?
