Ten Thousand Club
1332, 2nd of the Lupine Moon
Byrne is in chaos. Ravaged by years of external war, and a brutal three front conflict, it must now face a threat from within. A group of rebels, led by the exiled daughter of the late King Hareth, has returned to retake her rightful throne from her cousin, King Darius the Just. Given the right to rule by the father, the renegade Queen was denied her birthright after Darius claimed a woman has no right to the throne, and that she would not be able to stop the encroaching orc horde. Soon enough, the nobles of Byrne all agreed, and crowned Darius king. His hot temper and war mongering soon caused Byrne to be beset on several fronts, engulfing the continent in warfare, all while a greater threat looms on the horizon. A dark tide is rising in the east, an evil long forgotten finally coming to extinguish all life. If the war doesn't end soon, there will be no throne to sit upon. Simply bones and ash...
Hiya guys! I've been craving something high fantasy, involving knights and magic and such. Be warned: this is not your typical noblebright, good guys killing bad guys setting. Yes, there are paladin's and clerics, and even objectively good and evil beings, but people are still people. Orcs aren't mindless savages, goblins aren't all evil, etc. Just because you're a paladin doesn't make you a good person by default. This will have a mostly dark tone, dealing with medieval problems mixed in with the latent magic of the setting. Just because there's magic than can cure a plague doesn't mean there's the manpower to cure everyone. Plus, why would a cleric cure a bunch of unwashed peasants with no money when they can cure the local Lord and be rewarded with silver? I'm looking for a decent number of players that have a good knowledge of medieval culture and such. You don't have to be a history nerd, by any means, but don't expect to be able to make a gay character without there being concequences if anyone finds out. The Middle Ages sucks, and I won't sugarcoat it. Anyways, with that out of the way, the roles!
So, here are the roles that absolutely 100% must be filled by someone. They pretty much drive the plot, and as such, make sure you plot with everyone else! This is a character driven RP, after all. You can claim four characters each, just be ready to deal with that many characters. Most characters will be humans, though occasionally you might find a half elf or half orc.
Rebels:

That's about it! If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to ask! I'm open to ideas and such. This is really an RP built by everyone involved. I have a basic idea of the layout of everything, but say you want to have the lands to the north of the kingdom to be ruled by former raiders from beyond the sea, now pledged to the crown, go for it! The world is your oyster.
