OOC Info Still Waters Run Deep

Feel free to post any and all OOC chatter for Kenash and Cyphrus here!

This lazy agricultural settlement rests on the swampy shores of the Middle Suvan at the delta of The Kenash River. The River's slow moving bayou waters have bred a different sort of people - rugged, cultured, and somewhat violent. Sprawling plantations of tobacco and cotton grow on the outskirts of the swamp in the rich Cyphrus soils, while the city itself curls around the bayou and spawns decadence and sins of all sorts. Life is slower in Kenash, but the lack of pace is made up for in the excesses of food and flesh in a city where drinking, debauchery, gambling, slavery, and overbearing plantation families dominate the landscape.

Hello Kenash

I have a couple questions about the city.

Do plantations have area for non-luxury food crops- rice, wheat, potatoes, etc…? (According to some research I’ve done- to support one person on a 1500 calorie a day diet you need one acre of farm land.)

What sorts of goods gets imported to the city, other than slaves?

Is there a lot of sea bound trading and travel?

Are horses, and other farm working animals like Ox common?

Kenash grows ridiculous amounts of food. The city is, with the supplementary 'assistance' of our 'beloved' slaves, entirely self-sufficient. We export all sorts of food and have plenty to spare in the city itself. So, yes. Wheat, rice and the like are most definitely available. The Lynint and Ackina breed animals (the latter breeds Kelvics) that Kenash consumes as exportation of meats is a bad idea.

Our only imports are things like whiskey, clothing, styles (architectural and otherwise) and luxury item with plenty to spare. Oxen aren't extremely common, but produced for food purposes. The lion's share of the labour is done by slaves, horses are used for transport, and sea travel, given Kenash's lack of a proper dock, is almost exclusively for the slave trade and exporting.

For the most part, Kenash produces what it needs.

Finally! I was starting to feel that we'd been left out. :) I've just read it and it's really cool

- I can't wait to read the History when it develops.

On another note, I was reading about Delphine LaLaurie today and felt that, when thinking about upcoming events in the Autumn or Winter Season, it might be interesting to come up with a situation inspired by that? As in, have that sort of scandal/horrific treatment of slaves brewing and seeing how everyone reacts. It would be very interesting to have a Dynasty Member on trial.

That actually sounds really really cool! I decided to check out the wiki page and it should be real interesting to have sadistic, mass-murdering Dynasties making enough trouble that something has to be done publicly.

After that, I actually went on a research spree before ending up with Myrtles Plantation that was said to be haunted. And I was reminded of the mysterious Kalvinah Plantation - the lost one. Will there be any chance that there'll be some kind of investigation or explanation about the plantation?

That's a great wiki article! 'Six sisters of sin' is so fitting! Beautifully written too, although I noticed the adjective of Kenash tends to jump between Kenashern and Kenashian. Which is it or can both forms be used?

My personal preference is Kenashian, to be honest. It seems much more proper than Kenashern, which sounds a bit ignorant on the tongue.

Okay so I realized I should drop by here and say HI!

Hello!
I'm Kenash's new slave. I'll try to swing back with my ethaefal and try to explore the atmosphere in the city. :D

People participating in the quests, please feel free to post in any order :) There's no need to wait for people to post unless you deliberately want to react to one person in particular.
