Kingdoms have come and gone throughout time. Some disappear with no trace. Some are crushed by others. One has survived: the Forbidden Kingdom. No one knows what happens there, nor what it plans. Some even doubt its existence. There is peace in our time, upheld by an annual meeting between representatives of the kingdoms. The Forbidden Kingdom has never attended. Until now. Rumours surface about how it will attend the next one. What sinister plans do they hide? [Hider=Rules] [List] [*] My and Co's word is final. [*] No God modding in the IC. [*] No speed posting.

[/List] [/Hider] [Hider=The Kingdoms] This is a list of the Kingdoms, feel free to add more, there will be a formatting sheet for it. [List] [*] [b]Anah[/b]: A kingdom based upon a religious order of templars. They are skilled in holy magic and excel against demons. The training to join the order is a dangerous one, and most who go in don't come out the same. Or alive. Those who survive, however, are heralded as heroes by the people. The majority of people are humans. [*] [b]Botheil[/b]: The kingdom of magi. Most people here practice magic regularly, and much magic banned in other places is allowed here. The kingdom is ruled by a circle of arch-magi. The majority of people are human, but other races exist here, such as Elves. [*] [b]Zegol[/b]: A kingdom where technology is at its highest. On the other hand, it has no established govern, just a system where strength rules over weakness. The kingdom has a diversity of races. [*] [b]The Hearts of Heren[/b] : Once the Lizard Kingdoms spread far across the land, beneath the seas and in the clouds. Ancient magic was weaved and the world was happy. But as all with things it turned to ash. Besieged by Demons and terrors, valour could not save the Lizard-men. Sky-Cities fell in fire, Bastions were overrun and ocean lands were drowned in blood. It was during this time Man emerged from the ash, and with them Templars. Pure of heart and strong of blade, the demons could not stand against them. But when Man saw hiding scaled abominations, they slew them. The Lizard-folk went into exile, and Man strived. Now a great threat is looming over all, and as with their tradition, the Lizard-folk will be there at the time of great change. Whether in singular or in great number, they will walk into the fires of change and hope to forge a new alliance. Although lacking lands, number and most of their ancient arts and culture is forgotten, the few survivors of this empire have descended from the mountains trained in the arts of subterfuge with the intentions of preventing such a war as wiped their civilisation out. The dominant race is Lizard-men. [i]Courtesy of The Fated Fallen.[/i] [*] [b]Ashalumnia[/b] : A cruel and dictatored Kingdom, Ashalumnia controls its men with an iron fist. The demons there are beaten and enslaved by the Emperor who makes them work in horrible conditions. Those that grow strong or start to exhibit special powers are accepted as nobility and join the demon armada where they will fight until they die for the Emperor. Their children and grandchildren will also be considered nobility, but after that if no other in the family show any worth, then they will be forced back into slavery. It is ruled by Emperor Kishin, and the dominant race are demons. [i]Courtesy of Kronshi.[/i] [*] [b]Sephi[/b] : The Sephi Empire is an empire that is highly accepting of all races and cultures. They follow an ideology called "for the better" and they are attempting to rule the world because their ideology says so. They are rapidly expanding and because of this they now have muskets that are called "Firebows". They are also slave drivers and conquer enemy civilians, they are a warlike autocracy empire and their economy has pretty much gone bankrupt. They are plagued with racism despite them being 'accepting of all races and cultures'. They have no dominant race as such, but there are more humans than other races. Their ruler is Arthur Von Emperius. [i]Courtesy of Nerminator.
