The Petty Kingdoms of Tierra have long bickered over their right to rule these isles. There are perhaps half a dozen great houses with a number of smaller states jockeying for control. Pick from the ones listed or create your own fiefdom, but be prepared to defend it at all costs. For this is a period of tragedy and turmoil, where baneblooded royals seek to end your legitimacy with muskets and cannon. This, dear fellow, is the Final Argument of Kings.
Background: this RP is based on Paul Wang's "A Soldier's Guide to the Infinite Sea". Basically there is a lifeforce called the "Bane" which all living things possess, but only a small percentage of people can actually sense it and use it. They're called banebloods and by law are fit to rule over all the "deathborns" (99.5% of people who lack the banesense). What's so special about it is they manipulate the world around them using seals or scrolls. Things like creating a sword that can cut through steel or heal wounds.
Anyway, let me know what you think about this idea. We would start in the year 450 OIE (Old Imperial Era) and the plot would be about the different kingdoms/duchies/etc. The tech level is late 18th to early 19th century so think gunpowder, coal, and early steam engines. Most travel is done by some kind of animal or by sailboat. I can answer more questions about the lore and setting if this gets any traction.
Thanks for reading!
