[i]I will fix the OOC up better later.[/i] [center][h1][b]Two Kings[/b][/h1][/center] [center][h3][b][b]Premise[/b][/b][/h3][/center] In this RP you will assume the role of a king who swears fealty to either the Northern King or the Southern King, and will fight in a war of supremacy. The war takes place on 'the Isle'. At any point your characters can and will die, you may betray your friends, join the other side, or even rebel and make your own side. Everyone is out to make their bid for the throne, but who will be victorious? [center][h3][b][b]Brief Story[/b][/b][/h3][/center] [hider]The Isle was once divided between two groups. The northern group was rule by a Northern King, while the southern group was ruled by a Southern King. They have forged a legendary and deadly feud since the kings have ruled them. After a thousand years the Northern King was finally forced to swear fealty to the Southern King, which finally united the entire Isle. Three generations later a man named Victus landed with his red legions on the southern coasts of the Isle. Fighting for the glory of the Aurrian Empire, Victus swiftly conquered the entire south. The Southern King at the time fled to a southern continent, and became known as the Exiled King. Victus' initial forays into the north were successful but costly, and Victus passed away soon after. The Empire decided to focus on its holdings in the south, but constructed the Aurrian Wall to separate themselves from the 'barbarians' of the north. The north united once again under a Northern King, Koros Jarn, descendant of the former Northern Kings. The Aurrians ruled more than half of the Isle for over fifty years. Now the empire is crumbling, and southern warlords have reclaimed land lost to them long ago. In the past decade. numerous kingdoms sprouted up all around the south, while the remnants of the Aurrian Empire fled north, towards the Aurrian Wall. These Aurrians regrouped and attempted to forge their own kingdom south of the Wall, but were defeated by the Northern King, Koros Jarn. A young man by the name of Edmund Valwick landed on the southern shores of the Isle just two years ago with a host of 10,000 men. He claims to be the descendant of the Exiled King. Wearing the same armor and wielding the family blade of the Southern Kings, his legitimacy seems apparent. Within two years he manages to unite the southern kingdoms, whether by persuasion or conquest. Now Edmund seeks to invade the north and reclaim the land that was rightfully his, but the northerners do not wish to be led by a Southern King again, and Koros Jarn has rallied his bannermen to meet the large force assembled by Edmund Valwick.[/hider] [center][h3][b][b]Rules[/b][/b][/h3][/center] [list] [*]I expect you guys to work things out yourselves, but if I need to intervene then my word is law. [*]Characters can- and will- die. But don't worry, they'd have to make a costly mistake to die. [*]Do not be disrespectful to other players. Do not bunny, do not metagame, do not godmod, and don't be afraid to ask questions. [*]The RP will follow a very loose posting order, but I will walk you guys through it via OOC. It won't be complicated, I promise. [/list] [center][h3][b]Map[/b][/h3][/center] [hider] Outline the region you wish to control, as well your 3 establishments. An establishment can either be a castle or a town; castles are very hard to attack, but having a town nets you more soldiers at the start of the RP.
