[quote=@Cold Hands] I'm interested but I do have a question. Is it required that we all be from the same realm? [/quote] Yes. That is the kicker. We are families in the same state fighting under the same banner when threatened by outside powers (not necessarily). But we also fight between each others for power within our own state. Think of Duchy of Manburg as any other nation Roleplay. Everyone has their own territory, economy, military, etc. We struggle for power within that realm. Now, unlike other Nation RPs, this one involves the outside world, as well. It's like adding a whole other dimension which now includes significant PvE interaction. I'm glad this many people have shown interest. For those of you who have applied for the previous RP and have made your families, you are free to re-use them if you want to, of course.
