What about Antonia? - Page 2

backya · 02-14-2006, 01:29 AM

sounds like a good place for those of a the freeport faction to practice some target shooting. Then again i doubt everyone on the island will be good.

Owlchick · 02-14-2006, 03:47 AM

What about Antonia? Everyone always asks about Antonia, but no one seems to care about her third-cousin-once-removed's second wife, Gladys.

Gladys used to do Antonia's hair back in the day when they were both chums before Antonia moved to Qeynos to take up the crown. Now poor Gladys rents space in a tent that serves as the base for her salon and day spa.

Whenever you see Antonia, think of Gladys.

Wow makes you think, you always forget about the little people, and now I feel bad about all the gnolls I have slaughtered, what about their children and families??? I feel horrible now :smileysad:

Don't worry, i'm sure they were either put to sleep or straved to death after the fathers you killed didn't bring home food. :smileyvery-happy:

So if someone were to marry her and off Antonia, would they then be in line for the crown?

Vhalen · 02-14-2006, 01:27 PM

I hate to disappoint all you Norrathian suitors/ assassins, but there is not a real Gladys in the Age of Destiny. So unless you have Bayle blood... no crown no kingdom. We are lucky there is no Gladys. It could prove to be a bad thing. There is actually a shocking secret amongst the Bayle's that might tell us why that would be a bad thing. But that is a bit of history yet to be revealed, if ever.

Sirlutt · 02-14-2006, 07:02 PM

Bayle blood is just a knife thrust away if thats all thats needed SMILEY

(sorry, thats the inner Ogre in me talking)..

While looking through old documents on Erud's Crossing, I came across my little writeup on the Chain of Tears, the islands in OOT. There I found this bit about Antonia's home. Hope you like it:
The Isle of Erollisi
This is the largest of the islands and also contains the highest mountain peak compared to the other islands. Unlike other peaks, this one is too steep to climb and even has ice forming at the highest point. It truly towers over all in the region. A stream flows and falls from the frozen peak and runs into the sea. Hidden behind the trees and waterfall is the hidden entrance to the Sisterhood village called Tearfall. A dock is built along the Southwest corner of the island for frequent stops by sailing vessels. Goods from the village of Tearfall are sold by the Sisterhood in a tiny outpost. Dugout rentals are also available for long and difficult trips to other islands that the ships do not anchor near. All creatures on this island are docile and protected by the Sisterhood of Erollisi.

Tearfall
Tearfall is the private sanctum of the Sisterhood of Erollisi. It is accessed via a hidden pass located behind a waterfall. The pass opens up into a crater like valley. The village is where the sisters train and hold contests. At first, only elvenkind were allowed in this sect formerly from the Greater Faydark Feir’Dal Empire. Now females from around the globe who have heard of this sect seek out this place and dare to challenge the sisters in combat for a chance to become one with them. Men are not welcome within this sanctum, other than those invited or the dwarven forge masters sworn to the service of the sisters. The village is small but contains all facilities needed by the sisters including a shrine to the great goddess of passion, Erollisi. A beautiful and towering statue has been carved into the face one of the inner cliffs by the dwarven forge masters.

....

Sounds like the start of a Bordello to me! What were you REALLY thinking when you wrote this up Vhalen. :smileytongue::smileyvery-happy::smileywink:

Duhulk · 02-14-2006, 08:30 PM

Don't worry about Gladys. She just got a new job and she's movin on up to the east side and is gonna get a piece of the pie.

On a more serious note... Torq the lore [Removed for Content] must strike again!

But that is a bit of history yet to be revealed, if ever.

I would hope it would be, after all, what's the purpose of a secret if you never reveal it?

Would this secret have anything to do with the fact that Antonia's Father apparently hangs out in Antonica and deals with Freeport betrayers? =p

No Gladys. Wow.

Vhalen · 02-15-2006, 06:20 AM

Sorry Owlchick. I feel bad now. How about we add Gladys, but instead of being related to Antonia how about we make her Gladys Gubbin, Mayor of Rivervale and keeper of the Gubbin fortune, a stolen cauldron of golden eggs taken from the brownies of the forests of the Faydark. You know... if Rivervale ever gets back to normal.

NocteBla · 02-15-2006, 06:26 AM

Here's a bit:
Antonia Bayle is a particularly special case when it comes to the lineage of the House of Bayle. Antonia was born with the name Shirrana and was born far from the Kingdom of Qeynos on an isle in the Ocean of Tears. The isle was named the Isle of Erollisi and her people lived in a village called Tearfall comprised of only female warriors, The Sisterhood of Erollisi.
Tearfall was fortunate to survive the Age of Cataclysms unscathed. It was when the seas calmed just enough to allow passage to and form the Shattered Lands that her dying mothers last words were to seek out the Kingdom of Qeynos and take with her a scroll that has been passed down to her from mother to daughter for ages. There she would present the scroll to the House of Bayle. So with a small contingent of warriors Shirrana began her voyage to the Kingdom of Qeynos.
I think some of you may recall the Sisterhood of Erollisi. There is more to her story, but that may give a bit more insight about the queen of Qeynos. On a side not, Qeynosians have started a bad habit of calling her Queen Antonia Bayle. The title king or queen was never meant to be used by Qeynosian rulers, but this seems to be changing in the Age of Destiny.

Heh, call me an iconoclast, but I really can't tell much difference between Antonia and Lucan. Sure, he's a bit more flamboyant and he's a bit more paranoid about traitors, but they're both still autocrats who rule through propaganda. I know for a fact that our lovely Queen is just as dirty as the Overlord: I used to be her personal assassin.(For those who are new to the game, there used to be quests in order to progress to level 10 and level 20. The level 10 Predator quest and the level 20 Ranger quest were basically assassinations that had supposedly been ordered directly by the Queen. The second one was particularly egregious: "Go to Windstalker Village and kill Riasom Hanagan." What ever happened to justice or trial by jury? Shouldn't the Qeynos Guard be sent to arrest this guy if he's an enemy agent? Why am I, a young Ranger, being sent to snuff him instead? And for that matter, when did political dissent become punishable by death in Qeynos?)So the Qeynosian government may talk a good game, but I see through their smoke and mirrors routine. At least Freeport is honest about what it is ;^)
