The Kingdom of Valerith. Today it stands as a proud beacon of law, religion, academics, and everything that is good and just! Everything is uniform and as they should be.

Many years ago this Kingdom and its beloved people were rocked and shaken to its core by a horrific revelation. While historians have recorded this revelation, none would dare to speak of it again. This revelation led to the Ruling Family banning all magic from the School of Enchantment. Over time, the fear did not subside. Instead it grew and grew, until eventually, the Ruling Family banned all forms of entertainment.

They reasoned that entertainment was used as a conduit for Enchantment magic by Bards, so it was best to ban the tool for such foul magic as well. Anything that was of the creative arts that did not provide substance to the people of Valerith were banned. So, the people grew up without it.

Our story focuses on those who spit at this ban, and proudly show their colors while making mischief in their merry-making. Their first true adventure is about to begin, and it may lead to more revelations for the people of Valerith.

Copied from tabletop interest check.

Hheeyyy. I see you have a bunch of players. However, I usually end up being note taker and with that inventory management. Most of the time I play high cha characters so that I can manage the funds with the best discounts or haggling possible. Just wondering how y'all are going to run the game. Furthermore, if you need it would like someone to bounce some concepts off of. I wouldn't mind helping out. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to play or cogm.

This kingdom sounds very Arthurian. No magic of x, y, and z. I mean in Arthurian lore it was a full magic ban. I imagine there being an enchantment branch of inquisitors who hunt those people down. Same could be said for the neceomncers.

The Mortem Finalem(Final Death) or Absoluta Mors(Absolute Death). Emblem could be a sun with a circle around it. The circle indicates the cycle of life. Undead break that cycle. The sun usually weakens undead. Furthermore it has a cycle.

Surdis Auribus (Deaf ears), Invisibilis Oculus (Unseen eye), Lingua Scissa(Snipped Tongue). These would have the generic entertainment icon of the three things with a line through them. Each face would be in the foreground depending on the branch. Surdis Auribus would have the face of someone stabbing themselves in the ears, Invisibilis Oculus would have the same but for the eyes, and Lingua Scissa would have the same except for the tongue being snipped.

These are just basic concepts and can be applied to other organizations that the kingdom has to hire or gets them forced upon them. Religious sects akin to the Vatican. Zealous, overbearing, they know best, and their faith is absolute kind of people.

After umming and ahhing for a bit, I think I might finally have a character concept I want to play and I'm working on that sheet.

... hope he's not a little too out there for what ya'll are going for ^^; Let's just say one of Haruki's earlier statements about fictitious stories being 'punishable by death' got me thinking.

Based on this Kingdom... is it safe to assume that anyone caught lying is punished with death? Mainly because anyone trying to manipulate others is seen as bad. I mean that is right, right?

Also, if the other two don't join up. I may make an old man, who knows things and drinks.

That is correct. It is safe to assume that. In fact, the fact that people have manipulated others in the past would be another reason that the Ruling Family decided to ban everything of the Creative Arts, other than it just being a way for enchanters to cast their magic.

Sounds good. ^_^

People would probably call him a clown because of the way he acts. However, he is not one.

Also, a list of no no spells?

He may not start as clown. You may not even intend for him to be clown. But he will become clown. Make no mistake.

This is a clown game. Clown is inevitable. Honk honk. >: 3

I feel like with the no lying thing. People could be happier. Example. You have someone say that they don't like being a non citizen or want a career in x but ate required to be a citizen in order to do so. Get into military service in order to become a citizen!

What do you think? @Guardian Angel Haruki

I was also wanting to know if I could make a cursed King old man at the bar type? Thinking Paladin or Cleric. Could be that he broke his oath as a Paladin to save people or some such. He would have sold everything he had in order to survive. So powerful relics, armor, weapons and such. He may have the armor left. Something as a reminder of what he did. Maybe something smaller? I don't know.

Could I make Goku? I mean Vegeta always calls him a clown. jk jk.

Always love a Paladin and we do need a tank. Cleric is so fun though!

Especially since I have decided not to play a cleric now. Going Divine Soul Sorcerer instead.

(Also wouldn't it be funny if we were ALL Charisma casters?)

Sounds interesting! And there could be other ways to become a citizen, like joining an artisan's guild.

A Cursed Old Man who was once King sounds amazing! In fact...I did have some lore regarding a Cursed King brewing in the back of my mind.

@XxFellsingxX Hi! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Yes, go ahead and post your character in the Characters Tab.




I don't think the two new players are going to be joining us, but one more person has expressed interest via PM, so I will be letting them know that there's a spot open. ^_^

Hey you Clowns!

I'm the person the DM mentioned. I'm in the middle of making a Dwarven Fighter with a Gladiator background. (He was captured by goblins and made to fight in the goblin gladiator pits) I hope to have the sheet down today or tomorrow. The technical mechanics are done, just need to write up the background. (I think)
