Welcome to the Vulpine Imperium!

The Vulpine Imperium© is a fully-interactive Redwall-based online club. Members will join ships, submit to the captain's cruel whimsy, and partake of humourous and entertaining distractions while serving, er, spending time in the club. There is a large and sprawling town wherein are found such staples as an apothecary, a bank, various shops, and a dock.

But be forewarned - failure to perform your tasks properly (or with the proper decorum!) will get you thrown in the brig. Ships can leave the port and have adventures, or stick around to help out with more domestic things. Go to the status page to see what we've accomplished so far, and may the the blessings of His Grace the Emperor tumble down upon you like a golden fog.

The Vulpine Imperium will be moving to a new host this weekend, following some technical difficulties at our current host earlier this week. There may be some downtime, and some posts/changes may be lost (I'll do my best to keep everything intact, though). Thank you all for your patience while we transition!

Game Events: War in Bulle Harbore!

Soggus 13, Yr. 1733, 12:22 am
In a surprising turn of events, the manor known as Sleet Hall has been attacked by agents of the Anarchist Group known as Maelstrom. Members of the group attacked in force around around dinner-time, interrupting a personal meeting of the MinoNice. They entered the Hall only to find themselves lost within its many hallways and strangely dead-end wings**. It is said that the Minister greeted them with “a madd'n'd laffin', like a crazie beast”.

However, within the hour, Maestrom found itself flanked by dozens of beasts bearing grey articles of clothing bearing a vulpine skull. Known as the Grey Guard, the charge was lead by cloaked and masked beast refereed to as the Ash Prophet who urged the rag-tag band to fight. The clash was violent, and though many beasts fell, eventually agents of Maelstrom reached the Minister's chambers.

It was at this point that a second group of Grey Guard's beasts, lead by the new Blademaster of the Unsmudgables (showing an interesting connection between the two factions), joined the fight at the front of the Hall. Like a relentless tide, they washed over and killed many of the invaders, forcing an early retreat.

Unfortunately, the Minister sustained a serious injury during the fight, though appears to be making a full recovery. When asked to comment on the situation, he replied:

“It was only by the heroism of these individuals that my life and the Harbour is saved. Their actions will not be forgotten.”

Clean-up is still underway at the Hall, where at least a dozen bodies have been uncovered, bearing the insignia of both factions. A funeral event is planned to mourn citizens of the Harbour, while the bodies of others will be burned. This is the undeniable beginning of a war against the faction known as Maelstrom.




** It is said that the previous owner of the Hall, a certain Icerain A. Sleet, enjoyed confusing her victims before roasting them. These rumours were unable to be verified, though digging through articles lost in the MinoWar building provided the editors with pawfuls of ash and a smell of sulfur.

Game Events: Ministerial Shifts and New Captaincy on the BlackShip

Frimary 8, Yr. 1733, 8:23 pm
The Nicities office, having been devoid of an active Minister and abandoned for the drink, has now received new leadership. On Frimary 7th, Zilaco Wyndshard, former Minister of Nicities lost his position in a duel with Marquo L. Senderjay. Had he not given over the seat in a duel, it would have been ousted from him and given to Marquo not weeks later. Zilaco will be taken into custody post haste and questioned for his un-Ministerly behavior over the past five months. The new Minister of Nicities, Marquo Lysander Senderjay will be formally instated into the position later this month.

A new Captain has been ordered from the Imperial offices to take over duties aboard the BlackShip. The hulking beast-of-war, complete with a newly instated officer's list, has been overhauled and is due for a mission by the end of the month.
