He has gathered a group of strangers together, and is willing to pay for their expenses and for their help in protecting his supplies through his journey between continents. The RP starts in the continent called Furus, and ends in the continent Thialea, at the city known as Novan.

[b]Duration:[/b] The journey in the story should take up to 7-12 months, roughly, it may be more. (I’m sure there will be timeskips). [b]Reward:[/b] Their reward will be riches and the chance to start a new life someplace completely new! Who doesn’t like that? [hider=A Little World History ]Pandria is a beautiful world, beholding many rich wonders. It is filled with all kinds of races and creatures beyond the imagination. Magic once filled the lives of many in this world, and flourished within all of the lands. However, it didn’t take long for one man with a powerful magic to be able to see the chaos it could cause and the power he could gain. He rose to the top of the hierarchy, killing all who challenged him, and used magic users to take control of all of the land he could grasp. Such a cold and crazed man he was, it took a hundred year war to take back control, until the people could be free. 200 hundred years later, and magic still leaves distaste in the mouths of Furus’ and Thialea’s citizens. Magic unknown and powerful by nature quickly instilled fear into the hearts of people, for it began to become a known fact, that magic could only be used for evil. Many people were killed and prosecuted due to their use of magic, and it did not take long for anyone with an ability to be stereotyped, imprisoned, or killed. Some magic users began to isolate from the rest of the world, while others chose to hide their gifts, hoping to live like an average being. Either way, those gifted with magic must always be wary; this is a dangerous world where no one can be trusted to keep your safety. But perhaps opinions can change, memories of the past can be soothed and peace can reign… Only time will tell.[/hider] ----- [b]RP Focus:[/b] I hope that everyone who becomes involved in this story is able to treat this world as a sandbox. Feel free to create your own towns with their own histories, races, npcs and events. If there is a specific event that you wish to involve, surrounding the main plot, I just ask you to discuss it here in the OOC thread. If it is an event that you wish to keep private, but may include a few characters, you can PM me about it, and then PM the owners of said characters. As GM I will be leading the way, and enforcing some of the world’s rules, but I hope that everyone will be willing to bring something to the table, an idea, an event or even a villain. [b][i]RP Rules:[/i][/b] 1. Although I am allowing all players to create and incorporate what they wish, I do ask that you [b]bring it up here in the OOC or PM me directly about it.[/b] Just so that we have an idea of what it is and if it fits in well where the RP is going. 2. Everyone can have up to 2 or 3 characters, but any more than that and I believe posts/characters will get confusing. 3. Private conversation between characters can be made between PM and then summarized in a post in the IC thread. 4. General site guidelines and rules will be followed in this RP, especially when it comes to godmodding and extremely mature themes, which shall remain in PM. 5. Please respect your other rpers and their characters. If conflicts should arise, PM me and hopefully we’ll be able to discuss everything peacefully. 6. [b]Quality is much more important than quantity.[/b] This is an advanced RP, however it will also be highly focused on conversations between characters. Please don’t try to make a novel out of a yes or no question. No one wants that. But this RP will be focused a ton on character development and bonds between characters c: 7. If you have to take a break from the rp, or will be unable to post for whatever reason, feel free to just PM me. This roleplay can be flexible, characters can get lost or split from the group and can rejoin later. Or, we can come up with a plot idea together that will allow you to leave for as long as you wish.
