174.3.237.36: /* Cities */

=Proposed Canon=

Jetstone is a [[side]] in [[Erfworld]] [[Ruler|ruled]] by [[King Slately]].
Jetstone's current [[Heir]] and [[Chief Warlord]] is [[Prince]] [[Tramennis]]. A new [[Heir]] was to be [[pop]]ped in 16 turns, in 91 [[AW]], but the city of [[Spacerock]] is to be abandoned before then.

Jetstone is also the name of a [[Tribe]] of [[Men]]. 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 [[men|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
*[[City of Jetstone|Jetstone]] - Original Capital
*[[Bridgestone]]
*[[Firestone]]
*[[Rollingstone]]
*[[Penistone]]
*[[Pantstown]] - Level 1
*[[Oliverstone]]
*[[Sharonstone]]

Jetstone is described as having three level 5 cities in [[First Intermission 40]], 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.

===Location===

''Main article: [[Erfworld Geography]]''

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

=Real World References=

The name "Jetstone" seems to be a portmanteau of the names of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jetsons The Jetsons] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Flintstones 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.

Chief Warlord

2012-03-24T23:23:30Z

174.3.237.36: /* Possible Previous Chief Warlords */

[[Image:Warlord_montage.JPG|350px|right]]
=Proposed Canon=
The Chief Warlord is the military leader of all [[Unit]]s of his [[Ruler]]'s [[Side]], and is subordinate to that Ruler alone. It is a military position and pinnacle of the command structure. There is only one Chief Warlord per Side. Chief Warlords are traditionally responsible for planning their [[sides]] strategy. However, this tradition is breaking down on both sides of the current conflict. [[Ansom]], [[Caesar]], and [[Duncan Scone]] have all recently found that their authority to plan strategy has been limited for various different reasons.

A Chief Warlord:
*commands all [[Unit]]s of his or her [[Side]], excepting only the [[Ruler]] who is the highest authority of the [[Side]] and can overrule the Chief Warlord's orders.
*''may'' end his or her [[Side]]'s [[Turn]]{{Erf|1|007|5|Ansom can end turn}} but can be overruled by their Ruler.{{Erf|1|112|10|Stanley can end turn before Parson is ready for it}}
*confers a Leadership Bonus to all [[Unit]]s in a [[City]] he or she occupies.{{Erf|1|040a}}
*confers a partial (30%) Leadership Bonus to all Units in the same Side{{blog|2009|09|summer-updates-033}}
*confers a halved (50%) Leadership Bonus to all Units in the same Hex.{{Erf|1|113}}
*confers a full (100%) Leadership Bonus to all Units in the same [[stack]].{{Erf|1|113}}
*can [[Claiming a City|claim a city]] for his or her [[Side]].{{Erf|1|078}}
**This ability may not be unique to the Chief Warlord, it may be possible for any Warlord or [[Commander]] to claim [[city]] sites.
*is subject to [[Duty]]. (See below.)
*can form [[Alliance]]s.{{Erf|1|121}}
*can promote [[Garrison Ability|Garrison]] units to field units.

A Chief Warlord cannot:
*set production for [[city|cities]].{{Erf|1|043a|Overlord sets production order for all cities.}}
**It is possible that Chief Warlords can set production but, like most of their decision making abilities, can be overruled by the Ruler.{{blog|2009|10|summer-updates-040}}

==Duty==
[[Duty]], a [[Natural Thinkamancy]], has greatest effect on the Chief Warlord. This spell-like effect causes the Chief Warlord to use his or her initiative in the service of the Ruler. This also prevents the Chief Warlord from withholding information and prevents the Chief Warlord from conspiring against the Ruler, but as with all Thinkamancies, this is not a compulsion, so a Chief Warlord could betray the Ruler with a good enough reason. (See discussion page for arguments.)

==Known Chief Warlords==
Active Chief Warlords:
* [[Parson Gotti]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Prince]] [[Tramennis]] to [[Jetstone]]
* [[Caesar Borgata]] to [[Transylvito]]
* [[Duncan Scone]] to [[Faq]]

Former Chief Warlords:
* [[Prince Ansom]] to [[Jetstone]] and later [[Gobwin Knob]] ([[Prisoner]] of [[Faq (side)|Faq]])
* [[Prince]] [[Ossomer]] to [[Jetstone]] ([[Decrypted]], [[Turn]]ed, Serving [[Jetstone]] as [[Warlord]])
* [[Stanley the Tool|Stanley the Plaid]] while in the service of [[King Saline IV]] (Now [[Ruler]] of Gobwin Knob)
* [[Manpower the Temporary]] to [[Gobwin Knob]] ([[Croaking|Croaked]], [[Uncroaked]], destroyed)
* [[K.C.]] to [[Unaroyal]] (Decrypted, Serving Gobwin Knob as Warlord)
* [[Sammy]] to [[Haggar]] (Croaked)
* [[Jillian]] to [[Faq]] (Prior to first fall of [[Faq]])

=Speculation=
It is implied that an [[Uncroaked]] unit cannot be a Chief Warlord. When [[Manpower]] is killed at the [[Battle of Warchalking]], [[Stanley]] sends [[Wanda]] to uncroak him, and also orders her to select another unit from the ranks to be promoted into his place. That replacement would have been unnecessary if it were possible for him to remain Chief Warlord in his Uncroaked state, or if another uncroaked warlord could peform the task. It is likely that this is because a Chief Warlord needs to have the upper-level brain functions lost during the uncroaking process. The Chief Warlord needs to give orders, not take them, and uncroaked are capable of only simple tasks, reasoning not included. Either that or the zombification reduces the Leadership bonus given by a Warlord to the point where it would have been better to promote a low level unit to Chief Warlord.

==Possible Previous Chief Warlords==
The following may have been Chief Warlords:
* [[Lady Phat-Singh]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Archduke Ferdinand]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Sir Leeroy Jenkins]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
* [[Ensign Toast]] to [[Gobwin Knob]]
