Gʀᴇᴇᴛɪɴɢs Fʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜᴇ Lᴀɴᴅs ᴏғ Lʜɪᴠᴏʀɪᴀ




Iɴ Tʜᴇ Bᴇɢɪɴɴɪɴɢ...

Lhivoria has housed five main families for as long as anyone could remember. Ainsworth, Hyland, Gully, Coulbourne, and Bouroode. Each family has had their own important role to make the land flourish and grow in to what it has now become. Though many battles have occurred, for the most part all of the people lived in harmony.

Our story takes place on the day of a large festival that will be held in honor of the princess for coming of marrying age. She is the only daughter of King Samson and Queen Margaret and has been welcomed very openly by the people of the kingdom. During this event one suitor from each of the families will be chosen to compete in a competition for the hand of the princess for a future wedding.

Unbeknownst to our characters, sometime during the festival King Samson will be murdered by a mysterious man sent from the Diovire Desert. The kingdom is put into a fury as the mysterious man is searched for. Many people will be accused and sought after, as Madeline's mother tries to balance the kingdom as well as the life of her daughter who now has a kingdom placed into her lap.

Our characters will be two families. Groups of people from either Mount Promonon or the Quell Sea. You will need to figure among yourself how you are all related. I encourage someone who will be dedicated and active to take the lead roles in each family. You may use bastard names from any of the areas, but must be related to the original two areas in some way or some how, and you live with your father from which you came in your ruling area.

You are allowed as many characters as you can handle as many will find their fates at the end of a sword.


Tʜᴇsᴇ Lᴀɴᴅs Aʀᴇ Oᴜʀ Hᴏᴍᴇs

◾ Corevial Castle ◾

Ruling Family
A I N S W O R T H

Corevial Castle sits in the "core" of Lhivoria, surrounded by the high peaks of Mount Promonon. Their buildings are mostly tan with orange and red roofs. It is one of the most overpopulated areas, giving home to most of Lhivoria's people and of course the royal blood line: Ainsworth. A princess had just been born, giving her the heir to the throne and the availability for a future marriage and deal with another area. Their people tend to be more materialistic, focusing on what in on their backs rather than whats on the inside.

The bastard name for anyone born into this area is Slate.

◾ Mount Promonon ◾

Ruling Family
H Y L A N D

Mount Promonon surrrounds all of Corevial and has the second highest population, but the biggest and most well trained army. These people excel in hunting, trapping, and weapon making. They are a hearty group who believe in loyalty, and hard work. They are proud of where they came from, and believe strongly in their name. Despite their tough appearances, the people that come from the mountain are full of creators, philosophers and dreamers.

The bastard name for anyone born into this area is Sky.


◾ Quell Sea ◾

Ruling Family
G U L L Y

The Quell sea lies west of Corevial, and around the mountain. It has the largest ship fleet, and is home to many fishermen and tradesman. Piracy is common though considered illegal by the king. The people here are hard workers, but tend to keep to themselves rather than work together to complete something. They are the most suspicious and have a hard time doing trade with any of the other lands.

The bastard name for anyone born into this area is Trout.


◾ Vaernin Forest ◾

Ruling Family
C O U L B O U R N E

Vaernin is what embodies Corevial, but lies most heavily to the south. Wildlings and very rare mythical creatures reside here. They are very rich in agriculture and archery. They are the only group that does not believe in Divine Rule and worship the Oak tree that is littered across Lhivoria.

The bastard name for anyone born into this area is Oak.


◾ Diovire Desert ◾

Ruling Family
B O U R O O D E

The Diovire desert lies east of Corevial over the mountain range. Their people are split into two groups. The first group are tradesman, who live luxurious lifestyles trading spices, silks, and exotic potions. Slavery is a heavy influence in thier culture. The second group are a brach of nomadic people, like the wildlings who decided the cold weather and forest life was not for them.

The bastard name for anyone born into this area is Sand.

◾ All of The Guild rules apply here.

◾ No God modding or anything in that nature.

◾ One liners are terrible. Don't do them. A paragraph or so is great!

◾ Speed posting? No way! Please wait 2-3 people between your posts or 1 hour.

◾ Though this roleplay has mature scenes and content, don't flirt with the banhammer.

◾ Be creative and have fun. I love both of those things, and am always open to ideas for plot!

◾ Kindness gets you far with me. You can be snarky as you want in character, but don't do it in OOC.

@MissCapnCrunchNot going to join but can I just say holy shit you've made and absolutely amazing OP?

Like holy fuck, this boggles my mind how you managed to do this. I haven't seen anyone pour this much work into an OP and its without a doubt one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. So much so that it warranted a random comment of appreciation and awe ^3^

Good work :D

This sounds preeeetty good, so I'll probably be joining!

I'd just like to clarify whether all of our characters will be blood-related or if we'll all just be from different families in Mount Promonon and the Quell Sea.

This was probably stated but want to be sure. Are we allowed to play Queens from either Quell Sea or Mount Promonon?

FRIENDLY REMINDER:


As listed in the beginning our characters are either from the MOUNTAIN or SEA. They are split between just the two last names; HYLAND AND GULLY. (Including bastard names of Sky and Trout). Sorry for the inconvience that may cause for your character creation but I needed to limit this so that people have the most character interaction and growth as possible in this large land.

All the other last names are for story purposes only.

If you want your character with a bastard name from another area, you still must be related to the main leader of one of the two main areas. IE: Your father the lead of the HYLAND's has slept with someone from another land and you were born there, but now live in his castle.

Blood related. IE: Father, Mother, Brother, Sister, Uncle, etc.

The only real "Queen" is the one ruling in the Corevial Castle. However, you are more than welcome to play a lead woman in either of those places. Think of a Lady Stark type role, where you're kicking ass and taking down names for your people but you don't really have so much authority as the Queen of Ainsworth.

@MissCapnCrunch Do the main castles have names like Winterfell or Highgarden or Sunspear? Or are they the same as the area names?

@MissCapnCrunchAh, alright, so we're all playing family of one of two places.
I guess I'll go with a tree-hugging bastard.

I'm still dancing between the two houses...who needs a bastard brother?

I love him so far :)
You can edit him as you go (That goes for everyone)
Drop him into the character bin and I'll add him to the list of Hyland family!

Let me know if you had any ideas for the name of the castle :)
