I have already received a few great characters and I am looking forward to receiving the ones I've yet to receive! [hr] Greetings to one and all, I hope my post finds you well and healthy. After a time of absence, I am drawn here again, to explore worlds and stories with you. I am therefore opening the door again to the world of Idumea, a medieval fantasy world with many unknown corners. May I present to you a story of a small rural town of Avveel and its children, surrounded by a vast blue lake, green fields and mountains, the final stop on the way to the City of the King. [b]Welcome to Idumea[/b] A royal messenger rode into a town, calling attention from everyone within the reach of his voice. From his tone and the way he arrived, in a rush, there was no question that whatever he was about to say was important, urgent even. Once there was silence and he had the attention of all, he took a scroll with a royal coat of arms painted on its backside – a seated lion resting its paw on a shield and a crown over its head like a divine halo. He cleared his throat and began to read... "Hear all citizens! King Gonagas, the Lord of this land and the Defender of the people, has sent out a decree to all cities, towns and villages; to all who are now living within the boundaries of the Kingdom. Hear the words of your King! "From King Mikill Gonagas to all ready and able who are willing to take up arms in defence of the Realm, "'The Kingdom is facing a great threat from the surrounding countries and the lands round about it, which requires immediate action. To protect the freedom of the people and the independence of our beautiful kingdom, I, the King, will send a dispatch of the Royal Guard joined with all the volunteers who are given a rank of a private in the Guard, on a pre-emptive quest to strengthen the position of the Kingdom and our ability to defend it. Report at the gates of Helsset, the City of the King, before the harvest season begins. May the hand of The Guardian be over us all.'" This was the tidings the messenger came with. You are a person of remarkable skill and talent in your art be it swordsmanship, controlling the supernatural and the elements, stealth, alchemy or anything else. Regardless of the questions and doubts the strange and unexpected open call aroused, you answered and left for Helsset. Whether it was glory or adventure, title or rank, revenge or revolution. You had your reasons. You met a group of other volunteers in the previous village you traveled through, the village of Giron - the last at least somewhat politically meaningful community on this streak before arriving to Helsset. Since Giron, you have been traveling together as a party. That was three days ago. [hr] Interested? Make noise, ask questions. The game needs 3 or 4 player characters, I will play environment and non-player characters. The game will take place in a rural village of Avveel, we'll see about continuation to Helsset once we get to the end of this story. We will stop in the village for the night to rest and restock. The game will have a good deal of sociality, significant decisions and combat.
