OUTPOSTS IN THE LAND OF THE DEAD
Your nation has been marked by death. Perhaps it faced an apocalypse and returned, or perhaps it made the choice to explore beyond the veil of its own accord. Whatever brought your nation to Osiris, it has been marked. Your people uncover ancient tombs, tombs some among them are sure were not there before, pyramids and mastabas incongruous against their surroundings. Their doors promise wealth for those brave enough to pass through, and warn terrible retribution on those who abuse that privilege. An expedition is gathered and sent into the tomb, and are not seen for days. Eventually they return, and they bear a fantasical tale. They claim they passed through into an open desert, vast and threatening, yet the very sands glitter with gold and jewels. A land of opportunity, beyond all others, into which other nations from far-flung worlds are taking their first steps as well. Will your nation build its own outpost in this strange land?
| Main Map | 
| Technology Zones | (blue is modern/atomic, red is early industrial, yellow is pre-industrial, purple is sci-fi, and green is stone age) | The Portal to the Land of the Dead roleplay introduced above is the basic setting for the regional map of Osiris. In this roleplay, nations establish outposts in Osiris (represented on the maps above) in their corresponding tech zone. These maps are a fun and unique way for Citizens to leave their mark on the region, establish territorial distances for outpost-to-outpost roleplay, and act as a premise for character roleplay here on the forum. To have your nation's outpost added to the map, you will need to fill read the guidelines and rules below, then fill out the application. Read on for that!
Application Guidelines
guhrayen;1 wrote:Read through the rules below before making your application, filling out the below template, and then sending it to Lalli (Guhrayen) by telegram or via discord at tenlallis! Lalli handles the management of the map, while Tethys (Tethys 13) handles the map images. All sections of the application template not explicitly marked 'Optional' must be completed for consideration.
Map Rules
RULES:
1. Follow the Standard Rules of Conduct for the Site and adhere to the behavioral expectations for Citizens of the Osiris Fraternal Order.
2. The map of Osiris displays the location of territorial outposts of the claiming nations within the Land of the Dead; nations are not located on this map, but you are encouraged to make maps of your nation(s) and share them with the wider roleplaying community on Osiris and on NationStates!
3. Applicants must be a Citizen of the Osiris Fraternal Order. There are no exceptions made to this rule! You need only fill out the citizenship application and be in good standing to become a citizen.
4. Applicants may apply for their outpost to occupy up to 7 Hexes, with additional Hex spots available for meeting the following criteria:
a. Up to 3 additional Hexes for being a Member of the Government of the Osiris Fraternal Order
b. 1 additional Hex for being in the Sekmet Legion
c. 1 additional Hex for being a Member of the Order of Restoration
5. If a player's citizenship nation should no longer reside in Osiris, their outpost in the Land of the Dead will fade back into the sands of time (read: will be removed at the next possible map update).
6. Outposts in the Land of the Dead are always located within one of the Zones (as shown in the Technology Zones Map above) corresponding to the technological development level of the nation that established it. The Zones are as follows: blue is modern/atomic, red is early industrial, yellow is pre-industrial, purple is sci-fi, and green is stone age.
7. Outposts may interact with each other irrespective of their Zone or proximity on the map, but these interactions are governed by the Law of Ptah, which states that: "No technology surpassing that of the zone limit may be brought within a zone, aside from that essential to survival".
8. If you desire a location on the map, send a completed template (found below) to Lalli (Guhrayen; also known as Musalu, Vizier of World Assembly Affairs).
9. The Pharaoh, GA Vizier, and CA Vizier have full authority over this map and can modify it as they wish.

Please be mindful that this is an-volunteer effort, like every OFO community project, and that Tethys, Skies, Resentine, and I may not always be able to get back to you right away or update the map immediately (especially the version on the NS site); we ask for your patience and grace <3
