Is this still accepting players? As you invited in the op, a few points. As soon as I started reading about the 'Knights of Melita' I started wondering 'is this a Military Order of Malta reference?' XD End of that section, confirmed. Also, the technological level you keep describing (and showing pictures of) actually isn't Medieval or Middle Age,or even early Renaissance-it's late Renaissance and early Early Modern period- the late 1400s though the first half of the 1500s. Full-plate armor reached it's apex (and the designs that you keep showing) well or even late into the Renaissance and during the Early Modern Period. The presence of firearms to the indicated degree, especially, points to the Early Modern Period. In our world-firearms hit a critical mass starting at about the 1570s where they began making full-plate armor, pikes, halberds and so on obsolete at a much faster rate than even before. As this it taking place a little before that, I think something like 1530-1560 is roughly where this setting is in terms of technology. Rapiers are also specifically not primarily a battlefield weapon-they are specifically designed for dueling (and specifically for unarmed combat at that, except for things like the tuck/estoc) and were uncommon on an open battlefield. At this technological level, arming swords (the vanilla Medieval-setting one-handed double-edged cruciform sword) and side swords (can be either an arming sword with a rapier hilt or a true hybrid of the two-never especially popular), though longswords would be in decline (though not greatswords like zweihanders; this is actually when they reached their greatest use!). Also, a slight misuse of the word-the Renaissance was not about people's rights and equality, especially not class; that's more from the French Revolution aspect. The Renaissance is marked as a return to and flourishing of the 'fine arts', such as music, painting and especially literature and education, and was particularly characterized by a fascination with the self and self-importance (as compared to the importance of others and society as a whole, out things, from before). All that said, that this is well-researched really shows, and I'm quite pleased to see it (hence me being interested ^^). Will you please explain in more detail about the magic that exists and what is allowed for player characters to have? Also, is there any lands and/or nations that parallel western and northern Europe, such as France, Spain, Germany and England?
