| Well I haven't done an RP in a while so bear with me. Basic Characters please no super powered ones. This is a magical world with all the basic races. There are those who fight with physical strength and those who have studied the Arcane. There is very little in between and that little are mostly Knights (see story). Magic in this world is more subtle than that of most think less harry potter and more Lord of the Rings where its used and at times obvious however for the most part just an undercurrent to other actions.
So without further adieu:
The Silent Truth
There is an era in every age that falls victim the tyranny of what has been referred to as a darkness. A time that there is little hope for the world around you and even less for the spirit within yourself. A time where there is little to be celebrated and what can be celebrated is constantly tainted with the thoughts of the struggle which will ensue the next day.
The world I present to you is one is a small one. Unusually small as a matter of fact.
This world is simply called The Kingdom. It is a world roughly five fortnights travel by foot in all directions from the center and at those ends there are impassible mountains with one path which leads to The Outland. The Outland is a barren place filled only with death and creatures too horrible for thought. And is it only The Knights of The Kingdom who are able to enter that accursed place in order to battle these demons in our defense.
The King Says that the Outland must be kept at bay.
The people do not question the King.
And the King outside of this single discourse ignores all other problems.
It is such that there is now Famine, poverty, and in some races; Plague.
The Knights who are not defending the Path to the Outland takes what little the People have.
But change is afoot. Underneath the earth a tome has been uncovered quite by accident, and brought to the attention of a former warrior who now does what he can to protect his home.
This Hero having read it sends out a summons to all of his peers and friends.
| Quote: | Friends,
I have an item in my possession of unreasonable
power, an item that if released
will utterly shake the foundations of power and
change all that we have ever known. I beg
that you come to me in haste as I require all
of your counsels in this matter. Great things
are afoot, and let us now shape our world for
once, instead of allowing it to shape us.
-With great urgency,
Alric Westmoore |
