I’m looking for a small group (3 max) to write a story set in an antiquity inspired setting, complete with local gods, great beasts, and heroic tales. Although magic is real and superstitions have their place, no one is slinging fireballs or magic missiles. Most magic is handled through rituals and sacrifice. Curses, charms, and mythical tools lend supernatural power to mortals.
The roleplay would center on a group of wanderers and travellers participating in, guarding, or otherwise following a pilgrimage to Gor-Deran, a circular fort-city protected by a great beast, Gor the Immortal Eagle. The trip is expected to take nearly three months on foot. It ventures through sweeping plains, mountains, and finally a desert.
The setting is based loosely in the ancient Mediterranean regions of the Balkans and nearby. Particularly the regions of Greece, Thrace, the Turkish Riviera, and Egypt. Ancient wonders like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria are all influencing what I envision in the roleplay, although to a much lesser scale. The expectation isn’t to be 100% accurate but influenced by these areas and the long history associated with them.
Gods and the supernatural gain power through faith and sacrifice. If a city were to pray to an eagle to watch over them, construct a massive tower for it to roost on, and sacrifice beasts of burden to feed the bird, it could become Gor, the Immortal Eagle.
I’m looking for the following
Posts should be a few paragraphs long and move the story or scene forward to some degree.
Posting frequency of at least once a week, though more is welcome.
Please contribute to the world and the story. I’m more than happy to hash things out and just world build OOC over a few days to help the story flow and keep everyone interested.
Lastly, I haven’t written in a long time, but I need to get the creative juices flowing again. I appreciate constructive criticism though, so if I do English bad let me know.
If you’re interested hit me up. I’m okay to do this 1x1 as well.
