Ok, Orthone, *Magick* Mage, and I were working on some lore for a new rp we will be making. (Name still pending) So feel free to comment and mabye sugest somethings to our brainstorm. Ty
People's Lore:
For year's, the Kingdoms of Avaritia, Mare, Clax, Exspecto, and Slva lead peaceful lives, for a long while, they had been joyous together. While originally 1 Kingdom lead by a family, the family had broken the power fairly, so each may gain equal share.
Mare, belonging to the Queen, had homed Clerics and Magicians for many years. Mare was a Sea Kingdom, and had a grand amount of access to other lands, as well as much food and a pass through the mountains. Calx, held by the eldest son, was the Kingdom of the Moutains, home to many ores and Fighters, as well as several "unwelcomed" visitors. It's defenses were grand, and natural at that.
Silva, held by the eldest daughter, and the second eldest child, was a Forest Kingdom, withheld inside were many herbs and, said to be, spirits. Shaman's found there way here, as did several others.
Exspecto, the most harmless of all, was lead by the youngest child, the youngest son. He lead the land as moreso a farmer rather than a king, and the Grassland Kingdom had many livestock and fresh waters. While weak, their hearts were strong, and it held a diverse amount of classes, though many were more humble, giving up the life of adventure to farm.
And lastly, Avaritia. The King ruled this land, and many nights he spent worrying of trade and money. While blinded by greed, he still understood family, and never would he betray them, but certainly their populations he would make suffer(Quite :c). Often, he taxed trades and routes, sometimes even hiring bandits to steal from certain folk he had disliked. He, however, was not the center of all conflict, nay. Rather, their conflict would only be soon to be introduced.
---------
In the Moutains near Calx, a group, a clan of sorts, formed. They reffered to themselves as The Forns. Originally formed to study ancient rocks and magicks within the caverns of Olic Mountains, the group soon turned bitter at the King's deeds. Bitter at the pain he brought to the villagers, they began a service of protection to each of the merchants, fighting off the King's tax collectors and bandits.
Soon, however, they themselves began taxing the merchants. They began stumbling upon ancient magicks that intrigued their interests, they had discorved routes - secret ways - between the Kingdoms. Their initial purpose had been lost and, as result, they began to overthrow the King, and his family, one by one, with a purpose to rule on high, and destroy those whom may face agianst them. And sadly, just as their power grew, so did their hatred.
So it began. Calx soon was overthrown, crumbling in the process. As The Forns marched through the land, the brought pain and turmoil along with them. The other Kingdoms, in heat of action, formed a Legion of Heros to fend off the Forns and restore peace to their civilization.
*This is where the player begins. All players start off in Avaritia by default,where they gain news of this. They may choose their path, and whether or not they wish to take part in this Legion is to their own choice. Each town provides new oppurtunities for the players, including skills, subquests, careers, and even building*
As the players are enabled to enter the Council Chamber, they find the castle was destroyed, guards dead, and the manor ransacked. They quickly call for an assemble in a secret location, near Exspecto. The player, now ready, may go there and find there task. With either other players and or bots, they march to Calx in order to fight The Forns.
*This battle takes skill and ability, as you must navigate through ruins, fend off creatures, and rest in multiple locations in order to reach the Ceremonial grounds of the mountain. There, you find the youngest son of The King, The King, and The Forns on the grounds. The Forns circled around the shackled King, with the youngest son wearing a robe similiar to The Forns. He admits, in a short rant, to leading the Forns, jealous of the little power he had been given. He, too, confesses to comitting incest with his sister, her now pregnant, as he plans to rule on high with them both. (We find that his sister's pregnancy had lead him into insanity, he instictually trying to gain more power, as he felt himself a shame to the family, his sister, his son, and himself)*
The Player, now with this new information, engages in battle. After a long fight, if victorious, The King is freed. The Kingdom begans return to peace, as the player goes off to find more subplots and to add meaning into his withering life, as his days draw to a close, finding dead end after dead end, dying an unsatisfying, lonely, miserable death.
*This would work on a strictly, first-come first-serve basis. The players should work co-dependently to level up, and after the RP is won, then the main story is made only by the player's stories. While difficult, it would enable a fun RP all around. Once the main plot is finished, it is done, simply*
