Welcome! Currently all spots are filled.
The story begins simply enough, but will evolve into what I hope will be an adventure of epic proportions, which will be very story-driven and filled with combat, plot twists, character development, and plenty of world lore to uncover. I prefer long descriptive posts over short rushed ones so this won't be a fast moving affair, however I do expect posts with some regularity. If interested, read on...
Setting – The First Age of the New Era
It was a time of great peace in the Known World unlike any it had ever seen, for almost a thousand years had passed since the Great Wars with no major conflicts to speak of. However, over the past few years some trouble had been brewing in The Mainland. The world was undergoing some changes, as a sudden alarming rise in temperature in the Northern part of the continent had lead to massive amounts of melting snow in the mountains, and the subsequent mass flooding across the land had left many settlements at risk of being submerged. Meanwhile, rumors ran rampant of an evil growing in the the Dwarven Kingdom, which some believed could be connected to the climate change problem. But whatever information was known by those in power was being withheld from the general population, and as such nobody really knew what was truly going on, leading to much agitation across the Mainland.
Our Story Begins...
Along your travels, a written message with your name on it found its way into your hands. A man you may or may not have known by the name of Aaron has summoned you, as one of the land's most renown mercenaries, to Whardon for a quest, the finer details of which he begs cannot be shared in this message due to the risk of it being intercepted. He does however continue to say that this a quest unlike any other, one of great importance, and delivers a promise of immeasurable fame and riches upon its successful completion. Should you be interested, you are to locate a tavern called “The Seagull” in Old Whardon, and ask the bartender, a man named Hernan, where to get the best view of the ocean for directions to the meeting place. He includes the date of departure, and begs your presence.
Links
The Known World - world lore and locations.
The World's Races and Magic - information on the different races that inhabit the Known World and the magic they use.
Characters
If you are interested, please read the information in the link above about the world's races and let me know which one you are applying for in your post. I will be expecting a very basic character sheet as I prefer to learn about your characters through the story, and would specifically request that you not use pictures to portray your character. I purposely left the description of many things relatively ambiguous so that you can feel free to be creative any way you want. In creating your character back story, you can get as creative as you like in creating new locations within the three major continents, as the ones I provided are only the major settlements in the Mainland.
Character Sheets
I look forward to receiving your interest and am open to any questions and feed back here or via PM.
Cheers!
