[b]Introduction[/b]

I am Ryder, a pleasure to meet you! Now as the title suggests this is going to be a group fantasy RP. The world has been conquered by an immortal warrior (can be killed but won’t die from natural causes) who has made himself king. He has subjugated all the races of the earth – humans, elves, dwarves..etc. King Merrick has decreed that any immortal warriors other than him be put to death and any new ones who are born shall also be put to death. He has ruled for hundreds of years, the living conditions of his people getting worse and worse. An underground movement to overthrow the tyrant king has naturally sprung up but they need a leader and most of all they need warriors who like the King are immortal and can control the elements. The name of these immortal warriors is Soturi. 

You can choose to play as a Soturi or a regular person, whichever you prefer. Now if you choose to be Soturi bare in mind that your character would keep that fact secret for fear of being put to death. Each Soturi can only control one element so choose wisely. 

[hider=Soturi]
 Soturis have a mark somewhere on their body that identifies what element they control. It looks like a dark tattoo or brand on the skin that they go to great lengths to cover up since simply existing is a death sentence. Soturis come from all races and can come from families that have a history of being Soturis or a family that has never had one in their bloodline. Their ability to control the elements is generally thought to be a gift from the Gods.

The elements you may choose from:
Fire
Earth
Water
Light
Darkness
Air

The abilities of each element will be something we discuss via PM so that others will see how it plays out in the RP. Keep a bit of a mystery going.[/hider]

[hider=Races] The races you can play as are:
Humans
Elves
Dwarves
Half-elves
Gnomes
(If you can think of a different race you'd like to play as that I have not listed but is generally in a fantasy world feel free to PM me and we can discuss the possibility) [/hider]

[hider=Nations]
The world may have been conquered but the nations of the world have been left intact. Here are the main nations and a brief description of each.

[u]Lempea[/u]
This is where the tyrant King has made his home, in the Ivory Palace. It is the wealthiest of the nations, being the proverbial melting pot of the world, all races are common sights here. They have a bustling trade with their access to the oceans and other waterways. There is a large berth between the nobility who have pledged allegiance to the tyrant king and the general populace.

[u]Timantti[/u]
Located in a mountainous region this is the nation mostly inhabited by dwarves. Lots of mining of jewels and other precious metals are conducted here but they keep very little of the wealth as most of it is given to Lempea, raising tensions between the two nations. Travelers are not uncommon but elves are generally not welcome.

[u]Muratti[/u]
Located deep in the forests of the south is the home of the elves. They are the poorest of the nations but also the proudest, proud of their heritage. Beautiful landscapes and cities built into nature draw many travelers. Unlike their dwarven counterparts they welcome dwarves. The only people they take issue with are half elves as they view them as being neither truly alive or dead since they come from two different worlds. Half-elves are often spit upon and turned away from basic services such as lodging or food. [/hider]
