RP History: Yu Dynasty Yingdala
Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2024 7:49 pm
Inspired by James' thread covering one of my favourite RP periods, Jacobean Cildania, I wanted to produce an out-of-character record of the history of Yingdala during the time I was active there; this was my first (and longest-running, continuous) period spent in any country in the game. While I think my writing and RP have evolved a bit since then, I still wanted to produce some sort of timeline to cover the major events of the period, as I remember my time playing in Yingdala fondly. Ideally, I hope to use this information, once collected and centralized to update the wiki pages for the Sun Clan, Yu Dynasty, etc. My thanks as well to the many great players over the years that participated in this period, including Zongxian/Ryouta, Pandowlpaws/mugglemuffins, and Liu Che, among others.
