The Island Of Rhodes; The Search

As part of my continuing development of the Rhodes family, I'm looking for someone willing to be home to the Island of Rhodes. You need not have an island on the map, Rhodes could be pretty small. Small enough for a fortress, a village and enough land to support both.

Historically there will have had to been a crusade/armed conflict in the area. Jocelyn was born in 1122, the Hospitallers were pushed out of the mainland sometime before 1148. The Siege of Rhodes started in 1148 and the fortress was surrendered to the Saracen in 1149. So the Island of Rhodes was under Hospitaller Control from at least 1100 to 1149. Saracen may not refer to an Arab people but is simply what they called the enemy they were fighting.

As part of the development, the Island of Rhodes will be rediscovered. Also, with genetic geneology being very popular these days i would like to play around with that. Rhodes males tend to be large with blonde/dirty blonde hair with blue or hazel eyes, though that could be a result of 850 years of being in Seaforth and not an indication of genetic heritage. Basically, by tracing the Y chromosome that is passed directly from father to son I would like to "rediscover" the genetic roots of the Rhodes family.


So if anyone has interest in being the location of the Island of Rhodes, or the "genetic homeland" of the Rhodes family, please PM me.

Would have suggested High Rock but too small for a fortress :) Could be a really interesting idea, probably wouldn't fit in with East Moreland but considering the distance between us should no one else take you up on the offer feel free to involve East Moreland.

If you're looking for somewhere 'saracen' themed, then I'd suggest either my own nation of Jeziel's, if he's up for it, since we're the only ones that I know of based anywhere near that sort of thing. Feel free to involve me! :D

It's a stretch, but I'll offer a place near Takeda island, cold, rocky but a great vacation spot in the summer.

You could possibly use that dot north-west of Matsudo though it isn't mine ICly to offer. I'm assuming it's an island as this map was provided by Kazarovia when he was managing the map, and simply blew it up so I could make my national map. Seeing as it wouldn't be in the territorial waters of any nation it likely wouldn't pose any issues, so feel free to use that if you can't find a more suitable location. ^^

It could provide for some interesting events, and I'd be willing to work with you to come up with something. It would provide even more to the 'more similar than either of us would like to admit' thing that the Anselmo and Rhodes families have going if the Rhodes family themselves were, in fact, Ardian. :P

Perhaps the "Saracens" could be the Ardian Empire? It's been established that they weren't Christian.
