The establishment of the grand city of Volstryggr was a pivotal point for relations among the many countries of the world and a major accomplishment by those who shred blood and sweat to see it done. It started with the dream of idealist, Isaak Volstryggr, who spent the entirety of his life advocating peace and his idea of a great capital where all the people of the world could live in harmony and work together to end all suffering. His strong charisma paired with a well-educated background made him very popular with the common-folk and even some of the aristocracy. However he met his end while preaching in the kingdom of Ertonia, murdered by an unknown assailant in his sleeping quarters. Isaak's death is still a hotly debated topic even in the current political climate although it is now known he was assassinated by a fringe group not directly tied to one government.

Followers of his ideology took up the torch including his own his daughter, Elyssa Volstryggr, who is documented as having "The voice of a goddess incarnate..." by officials over-seeing one of her demonstrations. Elyssa is credited with forming her father's work as a formal, documented school of thought and practice. The world would still see many crippling wars and atrocities before it was able to come to the present, where the dream of Isaak was finally made reality. Volstryggr is currently the largest metropolitan area in the entirety of the world with the largest diversity of people as well. While the nations of the world have established a peace that has gone unbroken for a hundred years, there is still discrimination and inequality. A council involving all nations in charge of the operation of Volstryggr, hand-selected by the current head of the Volstrygr family which is currently Emile Volstryggr.

A new terror is lurking undetected within the streets of Volstryggr, a serial killer referred to as the '[i]The Blood Angel[/i]' for the way in which his victims are found. It is not the only threat to the residents of the grand capital, a dark force seeks to undo centuries of progress and return the world to its warring ways. How long will the peace that so many fought for last against these rising threats? What other dangers are waiting for the perfect time to strike?

===========================================================================================================

This is very much a concept in the works that I would like to see if anyone is interested in

Q: What do you mean by races?
A: Orcs, dwarves, elves, halflings, goblins and many others

Q: What time period is this?
A: Think early 16th century in terms of technology and architecture

Q: Is there magic?
A: Magic exists in two types, spiritual and arcane. Spiritual magic exists in everyone and is equivalent to one's life-force. Arcane magic can only be learned through an extensive education and even then full mastery is nearly impossible.

I will be adding more later if this gets a little attention but feel free to ask questions! You might help me find something I missed or haven't considered!
