[IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/2qdttle.jpg[/IMG] [color=9e0b0f][i][b][u]Welcome to Terecoth Hunter...[/u][/b][/i][/color] Terecoth, an ancient land, once owned by Giants it is filled with mystery and conflict. The world lay at peace as each race had their own resources and supplied each other to allow for a economic union. That was until the War of the Saints, it pinned the high noble race of the elves against the rapidly growing race of humans. The war lasted 30 years and because of the standing that the humans had already made the elves were defeated and forced down from any power they held on the land. During the war of the Saints the Kiln moved underground in fear of sharing the same fait as the elves. Deep in Drovia an underground operation started for defending against unspeakable beasts that roam the land and against any attacks that were to be set out from the elves. The group was called The Hunters guild under the leader Arc Rivantale. Now 200 years later, the guild has more of a standing in Terecoth, known for what they do in hunting terrors, races from all over Terecoth come to join, even elves themself now that they accepted back into Drovia after the kind king Darion took power.

That was until the War of saints striped them of their powers on the land and economic standings. The remaining Elves of Terecoth were exiled to the deep forests or forced into the slavery under Human control. This was until King Darion took the throne, allowing many Elves to come back into the Kingdom out of exile. Although many remain as slaves and many remain in the forests as they had started their own civilizations. The Elves do not believe in gods. The beleive that the land controls all and that Karma places a hold in life. Their capital is Lothadia located high in the trees.[/hider] [hider=Etlocks] [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/25f6hwn.jpg[/IMG] Etlocks - The History of the Etlocks is only known through legend as they remain high in stature next to the Humans. The legends say that they are decedents from the first civilization on Terecoth, the giants. Many beleive this to be true because of their deep understanding of how the world works and their size compaired to humans. Many live among the humans in Drovia and outlining villages, but the capital is in the south called Etlockbarv. The great Kingdom of the unknown as the humans call it. The Etlocks believe in one godtype figure called the creator, who created the Giants and all of mankind. [/hider] [hider=Kiln] [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/vp81uu.jpg[/IMG] Kiln - The Kiln are a big race that lives underground. Small groups come up and visit Drovia for polatics but other than that they tend to keep to themselves. The Kiln live under their own ruler named Hist. They are mostly known for their natural skills of scavaging and hunting. They find what is needed to live and allow themselves to prosper. They are a very bold race and can make do on little to nothing. The Kiln are cut in their beleifs, some believe that their current ruler is a God, some dont believe in anything. Their Capital is a huge underground city called Caragosh.[/hider] [hider=Abnormal] [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/s32a74.png[/IMG] Abnormal - A race of beings born mysteriously from the wild cross the world, they are few in number so they have never created a village. Those that have grouped together have become nomads, moving between the wilds, only entering cities to trade and collect information, before moving on yet again. The people of this race are born with special features, not exactly the same as each other. They are born with features of monstrous creatures. because of this other races believe they was the result of a magic experiment or a strange result of mixing creatures. Some could have horns, some have wings, some tails, etc... some could even have multiple heads, but because of their connection with the wild, they are at home with the creatures of it. if some of the nomad tribes are seen they'd can sometimes be seen with a creature of some kind tailing along that is protecting the group, or could stroll into an incredibly dangerous area, and walk through without incident.

The dead has been given a second chance, to come back and make a difference, or simply die again. The reasons each to their own to accept this gift from their ruler.

The only race that are not part of the Hunters Guild.[/hider] If you would like to add a custom race for your Hunter, PM me the races name and a short Backstory on them and Ill let you know if I accept it. [hider=Places] [hider=Drovia] [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/20i73x5.jpg[/IMG] A huge kingdom founded by the first Humans, Huge walls and large towers, highly guarded and the economic capital for all races. Built into three squares, the Kings square, where the main hall is found and the throne. Merchants square, where the mall can be found to find the blacksmith and food venders and many tailars. Than the largest square, the towns square, where all the houses are found, the living quarters where children can be found playing in the roads and is below the reach where the Kings square is. Drovia is also the home of operations for the Hunters Guild.[/hider] [hider=Lothadia] [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/t8q3h1.jpg[/IMG] The Kingdom of the trees, many bridges connecting trees allowing easy access for the Elves to roam about the trees. This also alows for the watch of enemies, the Capital is less protected but not easily spotted and not many other then the Elves that reside there know of where to look for it. The living courters for the people there are spread through many trees and many trees are dedicated to shops or to bowers, tailors, taverns. The main sorce of income is the animals that they hunt.[/hider] [hider=Etlockbarv] [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/amxnas.jpg[/IMG] The Great Kingdom of the Unknown, many have only seen the gates or the land that lies before it. The Etlocks are not fond of outsiders, they do not let other step foot into their gates. The city although is made up of two squares, where the town lies and where the shops are. They are ruled by the Red Queen, though little is known about her. They are known for their weapons, and ability to make them. This being their main source of income coming from Drovia.[/hider] [hider=Caragosh] [IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/aahqig.jpg[/IMG] A huge underground tunnle system made up of many openings and deadends made to confuse intruders. Though narrowly gaurded the city has the best diffence becasue of its lay out. Much of the reason that the Kiln ended up underground was self choice, they did not want to be part of the outside world. Many circles are deticated to the worship of Hist and many circles are dedicated to military training. The main income for them is hunting and scavaging the land.[/hider] [hider=The Burg] [IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/1580f4p.jpg[/IMG] A City of black stone, Green fire lights it's streets, the stench of death cover it's streets, in the center is the hall of the dead. Hidden beneath the earth under old ruins filled with traps. only those who are dead know the safe way in and out, but those who seek adventure usually find death... only to become a servant of the dead[/hider] Villages outside of major cities: There are many settlements outside of the major cities of mixed population ranging from just outside the walls of Drovia to the longest reaches of the land and Island towns. Custom villages for backstories are accepted.[/hider] [hider=NPCs] [color=9e0b0f]Head Master Ash[/color] - [IMG]http://i58.tinypic.com/2ljrr11.jpg[/IMG] Race - Human Age - 56 Retired hunter himself.

All weapons and powers are of equal power, this being said yes there will come a time where the use of someones power or weapon will be key so that all characters are needed in the Hunters. 2. Romance between characters is ok as long as there is consent from each person. Keep it PG-13, if needed the spice can be taken to PM. 3. No speed posting, let a few people past after you keep the story smooth and everyone feel involved. 4. There are ranks in the Monster Hunters guild but the Headmaster Ash NPC (who I will control) will let you know when you have ranked up. 5. Notify us if you are going to be absent for a long period of time, RP is required of others posts to keep the story going so if you are not going to be here then it can put a block on the story. 6.
