Messiah of the New Night
Hi so I am going to keep these layman's terms short and sweet, and then post all of the necessary lore n' shiz in a Spoiler.
So this roleplay, it revolves around weapon combat. Duels, skirmishes, full blown wars. The main feature of the setting, however, is the attention paid to the very details of how one fights, what one fights with, and their experience.
The art of weapon fighting is a most sacred tradition. Weapons were invented by our prehistoric ancestors for hunting and defense. Thousands of years ago, however, one man turned weapon fighting into its current, graceful state. Weapon Forms, as he has named them, are a sacred martial art, each one depicting how one can stand, attack, defend and move around the battlefield and stay alive. It is not restricted entirely to the sword. Any weapon that can slash, pierce, bludgeon or so on has a Weapon Form. These days, all that matters in the eyes of every warrior in Eurfice, Fukuya and Skalesh, is the mastery and dominance of their Weapon Form.

All that matters in our land is strength. Might makes right, as they say. Only the strongest may lead, and only if they have the mind and desire to. Let your guard down for one second, and someone will overwhelm you, glad to take your place.
It is a bleak time, for the world. Expansion, colonization and Manifest Destiny have unsettled the peace between all the civilized peoples of the world. In this time of desperation, they have turned to preparation for war. Sellswords and Mercenaries are among the most rewarding of occupations, as all that matters to the leaders of the three nations, is their handling of a weapon, and their willingness to kill.The art of weapon fighting is a most sacred tradition.
