… there stands a town called Forsaken. No one really knows how the town got it's name, though there are certainly many theories. Some of the old timers say that long ago, the people of the town angered the Gods so much that they placed a curse on them, abandoning the town to be ravaged by whatever dark forces the Gods had previously protected them from. Others say that the town got it's name from the people it attracts; the nobodies, orphans, and those who have been forsaken by the rest of the world. Others still say that it's just a name. We may never know the truth of it, but one thing is certain: Forsaken is one of the most unique places in which a person could ever find themselves.  

With a population that numbers somewhere in the thousands, it offers a diverse community, something that isn't very common these days. Dwarves, humans, gnomes, all races of elves, halflings, tabaxi, and various other races roam the streets, all of them neighbors. In other cities, the population tends to favor one race or the other. Dwarves and humans may exist in one city, and the next could be completely full of elves, and so on. Meanwhile, some are prone to forming close knit clans, amongst them being the Tabaxi. But this is not the case here.  

That's the beauty of Forsaken. From the drow gunslinger with his enchanted pistols, all the way down to the skeleton bounty hunter without a master, everyone has an equal opportunity in Forsaken. It is a "safe haven" for all who have been cast out, or those who simply can't find their place in the world. Those who flock to it are filled with hope at the promise of new opportunities, and of a new start in life. 

Sounds perfect, right? 

Unfortunately, nothing in this world is perfect, and the same is true of Forsaken. Though the idea of the town is wonderful, the reality of it is that once you get here, people are still people, and people are very prone towards falling into their same old habits. Oh, sure, the dwarf and elf might be next door neighbors, but that doesn't stop the dwarf from calling him a faithless woodland sprite, or the elf from looking down on the dwarf. When all is said and done, Forsaken is just like anywhere else. Ridiculous. 

This mess of a city is the starting point for where our story takes place. Recently your character has received a rather intriguing letter, which went a little something like this: 

[i][quote]Dear sir (or madam), 

It has been brought to my attention that you are a person of some repute in your field of work, and as such I am writing to request your services. 

I am in the business of breeding, selling, and moving rare magical creatures and livestock. I am currently looking to move about 40 head of hippogriffs from Forsaken to Sasarka, and I need a few extra hands to help with both the creatures and any unseemly folk who might take interest in them. If you've never moved hippogriffs before, it's no matter, you can still be of use (if you couldn't then you wouldn't have received this letter in the first place), and not to worry, their wings have been bound so they can't fly off with any of you. Unless one of them breaks free, but that rarely happens. 

I will pay 15,000 gold coin if you are willing to join my caravan on this hippogriff drive. We will also be transporting a phoenix. I have received many threats regarding this beautiful creature and as such I am moving it to a safer location, but I fear some may try to steal it while we are still in transit. It is of the utmost importance that the phoenix reach it's destination safely, and it will be your first priority above all else. The drive should take roughly a month to complete. 

If you are interested, then please join me at the Garrick Estate in Forsaken on the 6th of September in the afternoon. Give the guards your letter and you shall be admitted immediately. 

[right]Kindest regards, 
Abraham Garrick[/right]

An out of the blue letter from a strange old man inviting you along to a drive with wild and dangerous magical creatures, offering you a suspiciously large sum of money and indicating that you may or may not be pursued by dangerous people... What could possibly go wrong?

[b][i][u]Listen to the GM[/u][/i][/b] 
This should go without saying, but don't try to argue with me. Discussions and things you're confused about? Sure! Bring it up with us in the OOC or a DM. I don't mind talking about things with you, but if I give you a final answer then take the hint and drop the subject. 

[i][b][u]Don't try to run the rp.[/u][/b][/i]
If you have an idea you want to do, you can bring it up OOC and we'll discuss it. I don't mind players having subplots, but we need to be sure that they don't interfere with the main plot and that people aren't running away with things. 

[i][b][u]No overly disagreeable/evil characters.[/u][/b][/i]
We've all seen that one person in an rp who wants their character to be the center of attention at all times, and as a result end up causing a lot of drama in the rp. Don't be that person. If you try to be that person, you will be laughed at and banned from the rp. 

[i][b][u]No NSFW content.[/u][/b][/i]
If you and another player engage in writing NSFW content, take it to DMs. I don't want it in my rp.

[i][b][u]Be aware that the GM has a very low tolerance for nonsense.[/u][/b][/i]  
I've had many people ruin my carefully thought out plots several times with their stupidity, so while I will do my best to be nice, if you cause any trouble I will not be fun to deal with.

[i][i][u][b]Posting requirements[/b][/u][/i][/i]
Your posts don't have to be big paragraphs, just decent sized ones to show you're willing to put in effort to keep the rp going, even if it's slow. Maybe two paragraphs. I would like to keep the frequency to at least one person posting per week. We're pretty laid back here, so if you need a little extra time due to circumstances, no worries. That being said, if you're looking for a fast paced rp where we all post back-to-back on a daily basis, this probably isn't what you're looking for.
