A handful of adventurers are needed to help solve the mystery of the Saltaire disappearances! Enlist today! The story goes something like this: This is the City of Heston. The City of Heston is divided into several wards, or districts. These Districts hold certain facilities, social classes, that Kind of stuff. One holds most of the Schooling, another holds most of the Fishing and dock stuff, while another is responsible for central government. Each District is "Governed" by a noble or other such person with considerable political power. These people would handle petitions, small time court hearings, and if need be, would talk directly to the King or Prince in the Central Ward. As of now, the King of Heston is currently away on a diplomatic mission and the Prince is left to run the city for a short while. For this story, we are going to be focusing on the Saltaire District, as the title says. This district is home to many small businesses, commoners, and artisans. About a day after the King left people started disappearing en masse from the district, and within just a couple of days, nearly the entire district had disappeared, and was sectioned off. Nobody was allowed in, and those that came out were frothing madmen. This is where you come in. You, a [i]moderately[/i] experienced adventurer are wanted by the Prince to investigate the district, as well as a few others that had been sent in before you. A select few will be chosen to go in the district, and report any and all findings back to the Prince. [/Center][hr] Welcome to my RP. This will be based off of a Pathfinder adventure that I created a year or so prior. Now, you don't need to necessarily know anything about Pathfinder or D&D, just have a basic understanding of fantasy elements, which isn't really a whole lot. Elves, magic, gods, the usual. I myself will not be playing a specific character, but rather, several throughout the story, like the guys sent in before you, the prince, the antagonist, etc. You [i]can[/i] play multiple characters if you just can't decide on a concept, or if you like playing multiple characters. As for guns, there will be [i]early[/i] guns. Flintlock pistols, muskets, that sort of thing. Most are expensive and hard to acquire, and will take a while to reload, however, they can be quite powerful is used correctly. They can tear through leather, seriously injure those is chainmail, and can put a dent in Platemail. Just know that most people aren't going to have a firearm. You may play as any non-monster race. I don't mean Centaurs or Minotaurs, but races like Bog Creepers, Beholders, or Chuuls. No, you can't play as a Sandworm either.[hr] [hider=The Districts] [hider=Central]There are 7 total districts, and the first one is the Central District, of we will begin the rp in. This houses the Prince's Manor, and the main courthouse. This district is mostly residential, holding many Nobles and persons of political power.[/hider] [hider=Saltaire]There is the The Saltaire District. This is where a large portion of the rp will be taking. Probably. Anyways, the Saltaire District is home to many Commoners, Artisans and other small business. The Noble who oversees this district is Lord Quinn. Lord Quinn is a Human, known for his high charisma, and getting what he wants.[/hider] [hider=Fein]Then, we have the Fein District. This district is responsible for manufacturing and refinement, usually of metals and tools. A prominent place here is the gate leading out of the city. The gate is guarded 24/7 by various guards in shifts. The Noble who looks over the Fein District called Lilliana. Lilliana is a quiet Halfling woman who gain her influence by the way she expertly defuses situations without the need for violence or chaos.[/hider] [hider=Angel]Next up is the Angel District. The Angel District is home to may churches of various gods and faiths, and even a small monastery. The people who live here are are mostly Clerics, Monks, and other people of faith. A prominent place here is The Healer's Guild. As you'd expect, The Healer's Guild is responsible for Healing the sick and injured, providing hospitalization, and occasionally even resurrecting fallen comrades. The Noble of this District is a Pious half-elf woman named Bellona. Bellona is a Righteous woman who does not take kindly to those who would intentionally cause harm to her citizens, of whom she is known to refer to as her "Children"[/hider] [hider=Vis]Fifth on our list is the District of Schooling and training. This is the Vis District. There are several Schools of varying years, from those who are just starting a higher education, to an entire Mage's College. Each district has their own primary school, where children to young adults go to, but at about the equivalent of high school level, they head to the Vis District. The District is also home, like said before, to a Mage's College, for wizards and such, as well as a few Dojos, for those wishing to instead study the art of fighting. The "Noble" of this area is an elderly Human man, known as Talbron. Talbron was a highly decorated soldier in the guard ranks, and was known for his no-nonsense attitude.[/hider] [hider=Army]Up next is the Army District. This district houses guard barracks, should they choose to stay there, training grounds for recruits and is basically responsible for most Guard related things. But perhaps what it is known most for, is the city's prison. At the moment, the prison is full of mostly petty criminals, but deeper inside are murderers, cultists, and other such vile criminals. The Noble who watches over is a Brutish half-orc man named Mordaunt. Mordaunt was the previous captain of the guard, before retiring in the previous year.[/hider] [hider=Trade]Lastly, we have the Trade District. The Trade District has another Gate to the city, of which most traders first stop in. Many farms, shops, and even restaurants are here. This is almost like a wealthier Saltaire District to most people. The Noble in charge here is a young, inexperienced Human man known as Tyrrus. Tyrrus works alongside the advice of his father to keep the district in check.[/hider] [/hider] [hider=Powers at play] [hider=Iron Saints]A Prominent Guild in the Area is the Iron Saints. This is a Guild made mostly of Mercenaries from around the continent. This guild a handful of bases scattered around the Continent. Luckily, there's one about a day's journey from Heston.[/hider] [hider=Milani] A prominent Religion in the area is to the Goddess Milani. Milani is the Goddess of Redemption, Hope and Freedom, and is seen as the founder of the land. [/hider] [hider=The Quickfoot and Swiftfoot gangs] The Quickfoot gang was a powerful nation-wide gang that focused more on stealing, blackmail, and espionage for their money. In recent years, the Quickfoot gang was struck down by a joint effort between the Iron Saints and other various cities and guilds. Since then, a splinter of the Quickfoot gang has broken off and has started calling themselves the Swiftfoot gang, and is far more aggressive and brutal than the original. Nobody knows who the leader of the Swiftfoot gang is, or where their current HQ is. [/hider] [/hider]
