Proposed Canon

Jetstone is a side in Erfworld ruled by King Slately. Jetstone currently has no Heir^{LIAB 35}; its most recent Chief Warlord was Prince Ossomer. A new Heir is scheduled to be poped in 16 turns, in 91 AW. However, if Spacerock falls to Gobwin Knob during that time, this Heir may be aborted.

Jetstone is also the name of a Tribe. Slately and his sons are members of this Tribe.

Marbits and Altruist Elves were natural allies of Jetstone, until Jetstone was forced by lack of funds to release them after the destruction of Jetstone's army during the Battle of Gobwin Knob.

Side

Jetstone is a Royal Capital Side, producing human Units, including Nobles and Royals.

Jetstone was the founding Side and a leading faction in the first Royal Crown Coalition, providing the largest contingent of troops to the Alliance.

During the Battle for Gobwin Knob, its troops were led by Prince Ansom, then Chief Warlord and heir to the throne: Prince Ansom fell in the battle.

Capital

The Capital of Jetstone is Spacerock.

Cities

• Spacerock - Capital
• Dhrystone - Level 5
• Jetstone - Original Capital
• Bridgestone
• Firestone
• Rollingstone
• Penistone
• Pantstown - Level 1

Jetstone is described as having three level 5 cities, of which one is Dhrystone and another is the Capital Spacerock. Jetstone also still controls the Capital site upon which the city of Jetstone was built and the Side of Jetstone founded.

Main article: Erfworld Geography

Jetstone shares borders with Unaroyal and Haggar. Jetstone's directional location relative to other Sides is not known.

Real World References

The name "Jetstone" seems to be a portmanteau of the names of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons The Jetsons and The Flintstones. King Slately's name is an amalgamation of the names of the bosses on the two shows, Mr. Spacely (Jetsons) and Mr. Slate (Flintstones). The capital, Spacerock, is named according to the themes on the two shows, and may be an amalgamation of the workplaces of the two main characters -- Fred Flintstone's the Slate Rock and Gravel Company with George Jetson's Spacely Space Sprockets. (Fred lived in Bedrock, but George lived in Orbit City.)

The radishes that are the symbol of Jetstone are reminiscent of those from Super Mario Brothers 2.
