Of Seas and Sovereigns
People are willing to do whatever it takes for authority, riches, and glory. This is the truth behind the elaborate curtains of Tarq's Pearlspire Citadel, same as it is anywhere else in the world. With the New King's rule over the Island Nation of Vysha being established so suddenly and his claim so fragile, power seems that much easier to reach. The palace holds many people and rival factions. So within the walls of the looming towers, many secrets come abound that could change the histories written by the learned men.
The true question is... What are you looking for? Do you want to bring honor to your Great and Noble House by serving on the council? Are you a zealous Cardinal looking to persuade the King? Or are you just a middleman stuck in the chaos of it all? And truly, the most important of the questions - are you willing to make a mark on history?
The Court Calls...
This is mainly a political drama set in alternate world for convenience. The Primary setting will be Tarq, the capital city of Vysha, a powerful island nation that's undergone some recent changes in leadership that have left the political state fragile and rife for intrigue of all kinds. There may be some low fantasy elements, but the drama between nobles, courtiers and foreign envoys will take center stage for the most part.
As character relations make up a huge part of the focus, plotting dynamics with other players OOC will be fairly standard.
This RP was set up a while ago, with many roles and relations considered and set up for its beginning. However, due to some circumstances, the GM was unable to continue running and has gone dark. Since many players still wish to continue, its been decided to reopen the Interest Check and set about a new starting play so that this setting doesn't end up floundering.
There's a small handful of us, but there's no harm in seeking some new blood since several have lost interest since the GM's leave of absence. We will be starting soon after this Check is put in play, but may take time for new arrivals depending on how much interest is shown.

Tarq is the largest city on the Vysha island continent, along with being the biggest trading hub and the foremost seat of power. The continent itself is split up into several regions, five or six depending on who you ask.
The main religion in the world is a polytheistic one, with different patron gods for different aspects of life. In Tarq however, a city so swayed by the Great Ocean, the one God above the others is Dengiz, the Settler of Sea and according to the histories, the first to step foot on the island continent. He has a Temple in the middle of the city, and many worship him. There are also other religions brought from other places, including the Sky Serpent and the Woman of the Reef.
The Tarq Pearlshore is known for being a merchant's paradise. Surrounding what used to be pale sand there are docked schooners, brigs and other trading ships, in the most well known port in the World. Further off there is a the Vysha Royal Navy, lead by the Lord of Seas and Storms.
The current House on the Throne is Worren, their King, his Majesty Edmond the Daring having taken the place of the Queen Celice of Laerym. The Laerym's have ruled over Vysha for centuries, and their emblem of a teardrop shaped pearl resting in a shell is almost ubiquitous with the City of Tarq itself.
