Butterflies scare me
~
The Anevian Empire was rich in every sense of the word. Luxury was so rampant, that it's subjects could afford to hold ideals and sometimes even principles. When the rest of the world engaged in barbaric nuisance, Anevia flourished. It was an era of peace and prosperity.
It is, perhaps more aptly described, as an era of boredom. Stuck in their golden mansions, the nobles of Anevia began to crave chaos. They would come to regret such cravings, of course, but not before the damage had been done.
On hindsight it's easy to point out exactly when the Age of Chaos, as it would come to be called, began.
The day started out uneventful, with the Sun shining ever so graciously on the Great Empire. But then something changed.
The servants of the palace, who would otherwise carry out their duties with a brisk walk, began to shuffle about in a clumsy jog. Whispers grew louder, loud enough to reach all important ears.
Soon messengers were being deployed. Scrolls were written hurriedly, quills cracked under the tension.
The intensity of the affair grew to a fever pitch until everybody knew...
The Emperor had fallen gravely ill.
And so began the struggle of succession. Elaborate schemes began to come into play, as each party claimed it's share of the power. Old lords fell, new lords arose. Alliances, betrayals and wars ushered in the Age of Chaos.

[DETAILS]
The role-play will begin exactly where the summary stopped, and will follow the lives of royals, nobles and others as they scheme for the throne. I see the story starting out low fantasy, with little to no mention of the supernatural but then slowly growing into a high(er?) fantasy story as the stakes get higher and the scope of the story widens.
The Emperor was in his eighties, so there will be two generations (his children and grandchildren) that will battle it out for the throne.
At first it might be better to create characters in the palace, and once that's done and we've set up enough story lines we can build characters in other locations.
Depending on the interest towards this idea, I'll continue working on it, and will publish the RP when I get at least four participants.
Ideas are encouraged.

is it one character per 'available characters' or is there only a limit on the prince/princess/etc?
