The "Wolftime" is finally over, a decades spanning period of infighting and instability in the City-States where neighbor warred against neighbor and the old order was shattered with the forging of the new. The Overlord Xeres is no more -- The era of the Underlord Houses is at hand...
The interior of the realms are slowly climbing out of the chaos, tenuous alliances and truces are holding the tattered unions together while opportunistic eyes turn outward towards the frontiers -- For new opportunities, lands, and wealth. The Noble houses that can make the boldest moves and greatest acquisitions in the untamed "Lastlands" may very well receive what is needed to pull all the realms back into order -- or press their own claims and capitalize on shifts in power.
____________________
You are a lesser lord or lady, of an independent banner or a client house beholden to one of the Underlords. If the new order is to prevail, the lastlands must be conquered and pulled into the fold of the city states... pulled in by the works and machinations of players of the games of power such as yourselves. If YOU are to prevail, you must carve a claim to power and riches for yourself... taking care to honor your contracts with the high houses and capitalize on brave ventures as well as survive a delicate and risky arena of politics and political intrigue.
The "Lastlands" are a diverse expanse housing many races, monsters and the ruins of cultures dating back to the dawn of the age and older. Some of you have historical claims in these mythic realms, while other properties are simply put - up for grabs.
Every Noble (Player) starts the game with a modest amount of monetary and social currency, as well as ties and entanglements with other factions. Political marriages, disputed land claims and the support of the Royals, Churches, Populists, and the Military. Nobles are expected to bring the lastlands to heel through personal feats of heroism and to application of force of arms where necessary -- and with the glory of new holdings comes the responsibility of developing and using these new acquisitions to appease your patrons, your base, and most importantly to enrich and empower yourselves!
Hold your Banner High! The Wolftime is over, may historians record that the next of times belongs to you and yours!

Hello and thank you for reading!
I am Beck and this is my interest check for a new group RP for Discord and RPN. If you are not a fan of discord or dice/nation building elements this game may not be your normal speed -- but I encourage you to express your interest and give a try outside your comfort zone if you are intrigued by the concept. This game is just one of many RPs I've run on RPN set in my "Avecury" Universe, starting with the massive 3-year spanning roleplay "Lost Continent: Flight from Muurdaan." This game takes place long before the events of lost continent, in the infancy of the Muurdaan Empire before the first wars of Muurdain Expansion. A rich history and lore awaits for you to visit and uncover and the game will have both cooperative and competitive elements to it -- both with and against the world, and your fellow players.
I am your gentle and attentive Gamemaster, and I warmly welcome you to play with me!
_____________________________
This is the most basic interest check -- so feel free to put your hat in if interested and/or ask any questions you might have.
Once interest is established for 10 or so players, I will give more information on game mechanics (which you don't need to pay attention to but it's good to know they're there!), OC creation for
your Noble Hero(ine) and their faction, and starting resources. This game I am hoping will be more hero-centric with aspects of dice and nation building running secondary to the deeds and whims of the Player Nobles.
I am posting this interest check in the Group Roleplay section in the hopes that people who otherwise wouldn't look at more complicated RPs (like nation builders or dice RPs) know they are welcome and challenged to participate.
_____________
For Honor, Glory, intrigue and a good time -- I wish you all these things!
Who among you will embrace the glory of their birthright?! Post and be heard!
Most Sincerely,
Beck
