Roll this if all else fails and maybe, just maybe, the god's will shine on you.[/hider] [hr] [hider=THE PREMISE] The premise thus far is an ongoing, ever changing, open ended adventure for a group of underachieving, less than par, or just down on their luck thieves that are from a guild or come together through some mishap in the story and embark on adventures set upon them. These characters will all have to deal with some sort of [b]"major flaw"[/b] that is unique to each player that will hinder them constantly. My character, for example, is a lush and addict.. These characters seem to have hard time, or are just plain unlucky. A haphazard and motley bunch. They are all underdogs, the underachieving, and will either get their shit together and persevere, or fail in epic proportions. The story starts off in Guillan, a huge capital and port city. It is the crowned jewel of the Lands of the Nine, and home to the High King of The Lands of the Nines. All the subsidiary kingdoms of the Nines must answer to him as the top authority. Guillan is a grand port city, sure.. but it is dense, and dirty, and extremely corrupted. There is a major divide between the rich and the poor which is very disproportioned, and acts very much like great bellows, only fueling the fires. As a massive port city, it is also a great trading hub, and almost anything from even the furthest bits of the Nine's can be found here, if you have the coin for it. It's crime syndicates are plenty, and range from petty criminals to vast, and infinitely powerful groups. The Black Hands are at the top of it all, and are all but untouchable.. Pirates and cutthroats, scoundrels. All manners of outfits. The streets are constantly soiled robbers and pickpockets, piracy on the trade routes, rape and murder.. even rumors of slaving and human traffickers from the very bowels of the city. Nothing is off limits to those consumed by greed, and everyone seems to have an angle, or a finger in something. Mind you keep your wits about you, or as best you can.. The plot is open ended, and can be entirely driven by the group how it sees fit, through various avenues provided by the extensive environment of the Lands of the Nine. It is a mid-to-low fantasy setting, as in slim on dragons and mythical beasts, but still outside the realms of reality. This RP will also have a success and mod roll system which is entirely optional to use. Mainly comprised of some success rolls and skillset rolls, mods for injuries, etc., but only to augment or direct the flow of your post and the successes of your characters during certain situations and should only be used to add a certain unexpected flair for your characters. The big driving force here is their flaws, which they are constantly having to deal with..[/hider] [center][h2]Useful Info:[/h2][/center] [hider=MAPS & LOCATIONS:] [h3]Maps and Locations:[/h3] I will update these locations accordingly over the course of the RP as it unfolds. New places of interest, specific locations, and the goods and services that can be obtained there, as well as the NPC's who provide them. Please check periodically.

Nothing comes in or out without them having a finger on it. Highly trusted by the Royal Authorities, they are known to keep a tight book. They control all the trade routes and trading vessels in the Nines. Each ship must be logged without exception, and each is carefully scrutinized down to the last crates and barrels. All matters of commandeering or commissioning a ship or vessel for travel or business purposes can be done here. There are usually a few salty captains waiting in queue, and have ships of all sizes to suit whatever need should arise. Prices will vary, and be mindful, you get what you pay for..[/hider] [hider=THE RED SAIL:] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/f515b1cf-c552-4d0e-bf4c-e399a51ea3f1.png[/img] The Red Sail is a brothel located in the southwestern corner of the Seaside Markets, just between the Slums and Docks. It is a musty but warm lit and welcoming establishment. Smoke from the black Lotus is thick and enticing. The women are supple and wanton. All manner of men, and women, are serviced here, from sailors, common folk, and the working class from the slums. The establishment is ran by a Madame Margarette Fontaine, who keeps a close eye on her girls, and will go to great lengths to protect them. It is rumored that she likes to scar the faces of men who try do get over on her and hers, and known to do worse to those who be mistreat'n the fowler ways.. Make sure your coin is good, and keep away from the funny business and you'll find yourself a pleasant stay..[/hider][/hider][/hider] [hider=RELIGIONS:] There is quite a variety of religions in the Nines. They range from monotheistic to polytheistic, occult, fanatical groups, and heretics, and even rumors of the worship of dark gods and magics long dead, and even [I]necromancy[/I].

It was said that he was the son of a benevolent and righteous demigod named Niixus, who was well known in the times before then. His virtuous deeds and notoriety flourished among regions, far and wide. He was a just and good hearted man, and soon became a popular warrior King amongst a feudal realm. He was virtuous, and wanted to unite the Nine lands under one just rule. This realm was ripe with those who served the Dark Lords, and magic was as dense as water. Vile beasts and demon hordes, soldiers of the fallen Dark Kings, ravaged the lands, razing anything they came across, leaving none to tell about it. Some of the feuding rulers made alliances with the Dark Lords, [i]pacts with the devil[/i]. Heretical sects and temples dotted the landscape, and the lands had fallen into despair. Merrick sought to change this and this campaign, an all out witch hunt lasted for nearly 25 years. His vast armies, loyal followers to the cause marched vast distances, and crushed everything they encountered. He suffered many losses over the course of this witch hunt. Scores of scores of men died, perishing at the hands of the dark ones. It was said that if you were killed by them they took your soul. It was the darkest of times, the violence drove many to madness. Many thought Merrick to be the Great Savior, the chosen champion of the great All-Seer. An order of high priests known as [color=f9ad81][i]The Keepers[/i][/color] formed and followed his every move. They forged him a great sword, made from trinkets and relics, objects of great power and religious value. Merrick's sword became known as [color=f9ad81][i]The Blade of Banishment[/i][/color], and was said to have been kissed by the All-Seer's good graces himself. [center][img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/d2556f40-e839-4eff-ac3c-bd07fb015aaa.jpg[/img][/center] [center][img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/8690988f-684c-4ede-969c-58085f2506ee.jpg[/img][/center] His opponent, a vile and wretched demigod named Razmu'dai. A great and ancient evil. He was the Bringer of Despair and Darkness, Suffering and Death, and all that is vile and wretched. He commanded a powerful dark magic that could spawn vicious beats, and he could also raise the dead, filling their bodies with the souls of those whom he had taken. Legions of dark soldiers to do his bidding. He wore a dark suit of armor forged by his dark powers. Razmu'dai set his legions upon Merrick's armies, and they clashed like huge waves swept up by a tempest. Almost all were lost when Merrick and Razmu'dai met on the battlefield. Their swords clashed with great energies and huge shockwaves threw scores across the field, obliterating the dead hordes and crushing the rib cages and organs of the living. But in this great and epic battle of [i]Good and Evil[/i] fate would shine on the [i]Merrick the Virtuous[/i], and his blade found its mark. The Dark Lord's armor shattered into pieces and his evil spirit had been truly banished, and magic lost its strong grip on the realms of man, and dwindled to almost nothing. The only piece that was not destroyed was a single gauntlet. Merrick's sword also shattered and broke into 7 pieces, the same number of pieces as the Dark lord's armor. The gauntlet was dubbed the [i]Gauntlet of Power[/i]. Merrick ordered The Keepers to take these seven shards of his blade and these armor bits to the far corners of the realm. To guard them till the ends of time. The Dark Lord's armor was thought to be so dangerous that each piece was said to have been completely incased in chests filled with mercury. The Gauntlet of Power and a single piece of the sword were said to have been kept together on the site of this great battle somewhere, hidden deep in a grand and monumental tomb. The rest of the pieces were spread throughout the land to secret locations, never to be discovered again. It is rumored that these locations are still guarded in great vaults and hidden tombs of a sect who call themselves [i]The Guardians[/i], who are so devout that they will kill anyone to keep these relics hidden from man. [center][img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/0e515cf2-8eae-4431-9c67-ac6c7438bc56.jpg[/img][/center] It was also said that Merrick lived for another five hundred years and the Nines became united under his rule. The era of magic was over and it had given way to the common era of man, and it was a time of great prosperity in the Nines. Merrick was the last of the demigods to walk the earth. He is considered to be the great founding father of the Nines, and is still widely respected as a major patron Saint of The helpless and meek, and the defenseless. The [i]Bringer of Light[/i], Holy figure to the Keepers of the Light. The fall of Razmu'dai is celebrated every 1000 years on what is said to be the exact date of the battle where [b][i]Good[/i][/b] had finally conquered [b][i]Evil[/i][/b]. Merrick is supposedly buried in a great hidden tomb, the location only known to those who are now known as the Keepers. A secretive order, passed down through countless generations. So secretive that these families do not allow any outsiders to join their society. They are sworn to protect the locations of holy tombs and dangerous relics, and the location of Merrick Tomb in particular. They are also rumored to be able to conjure great [color=f9ad81][i]Guardians[/i][/color] from beyond the [i][color=f9ad81]Veil[/color][/i]. Champions and powerful Wardens. The last bastion to fend off the impending threat of darkness.
