Over half a millennium ago, the world united on two sides...one, the side of an Empire's crusade to unify the whole world, the other a Brotherhood of those who wanted to maintain their nations' culture and independence. The war continued for hundreds of years, until the Empire's offensive finally fell apart due to internal struggle, and the Brotherhood finally pushed their enemies back to their own lands. A hundred and sixty years have passed since then, and the world is fracturing. The Empire remains divided over an empty throne, and the Brotherhood has lost the enemy that united them in the first place. Heroes and Villains both plot and plan their objectives, and battles prepare to be fought over plains ruined by peace as well as past war. Deities, demons, immortal emperors and god-kings, other entities across time and space who come here to play a game of destiny and skill across the chessboard of a world, welcome to Raiuum! This is a nation roleplay where we each take charge of a kingdom, civilization, nation, tribe, fiefdom, city-state, or other factional power in order to work toward a chosen objective of our people. Religion, economics, culture, logistics, tactics, strategy, and cunning are both our servants, and our undoing. Two once-mighty empires stare each other down across the world's expanse, while internal struggle proves a breeding ground for deception and intrigue, and other cities watch with popcorn from the unprotected sidelines. Will you engage in war, betray your long-time allies, strive to keep the peace, or remain apart getting rich from it all? But just remember...demons observe from their lairs, and they have objectives of their own. So let's all make a story together! [b]A few things to know: [/b] This is a Discord RP. So...you will need Discord. There are both experienced and elite RPers here, as well as total noobs. Be sure you can deal with that. Magic. There is a LOT of it, it is a very in-depth system, (Though I believe it to be well-explained.) so understand that before joining us. It really isn't as complicated as it sounds. We're trying to keep the races somewhat limited to the basic fantasy concepts. Does this sound fun? If so, I will be putting up a Discord link this Saturday so that people may join and make merry. Questions will be answered promptly.
