The world teetered on the edge of chaos, carved by steel and shaped by ancient magics. It was a time of heroes and monsters, of crumbling empires and forgotten gods who walked among mortals in disguise or in wrath. In the wild borderlands, warlords claimed kingdoms with blood and blade. Sorcerers, both wise and wicked, plundered the ruins of fallen Rome, seeking knowledge older still. The stars themselves whispered omens, and strange beasts prowled the darkened forests. The veil between worlds grew thin, and the spirits of the old ways stirred once more. Amid this tumult rose champions—some noble, others damned—whose deeds would echo through the ages. Bound by fate or vengeance, by prophecy or desire, they strode the shattered world as giants among men. And as the twilight of the old gods fell, and a new light gathered on the distant horizon, all knew: the world would be remade, one final time, in blood and fire. Welcome to the Age of Swords and Sorcery. Will you rise as a hero, or burn as a tyrant?[/i][/center] [hr] So this was an idea I had kicking around in my head for a while. I want to do an RP with more of a gritty [i]Swords and Sorcery[/i] setting. Think [i]Conan the Barbarian[/i] or [i]Elric of Melnibone[/i]. Magic exists in this world, but it is viewed as dangerous. You're not going to see wizards or mages slinging spells everywhere, and the ones that do possess magic often use it for nefarious purposes. Monsters of every kind roam the land, and they can range from your run-of-the-mill fare of giant spiders, wolves, undead, dragons, etc. to eldritch abominations and cosmic horrors. You may even run into cults who worship these beasts as gods-and yes, they will sacrifice you to them. There are also a pantheon of gods out there who could either be benevolent and just-or downright evil and destructive. Perhaps you align yourself with one of these gods-the choice is yours. Anywho, I've said enough. but I will be sure to explain more later. For now, I just wanted to get this out and see if anyone else was up for it. If you love tales of adventure and heroism like I do, and you pine for the days of down-to-earth, no frills pulp fantasy, then this RP is for you!
