A Tale of Owls and Wolves


The world of Ithea is a wondrous one; fraught with powerful nations and technologies that aim to shake the foundations of this realm. Be it the High Elves of Valenndale, the Orcs of High Mist, or the humans of Carthus and Penault. This tale is one of triumph, exploration, and conquest.

Beware the misty glimmer of Ithean shores; not all is at it seems. For even the owl's ivory feathers may be plucked, and the wolf's fangs, dulled.






Rules

    If the RP is closed, but you're still interested in participating please message the GM! We can always find room for guest RPers and interim GMs. Maybe you can even help make a quest for the main party! I can also put your character on reserve should a main party member drop out.

  • Try to avoid power playing or god-modding. If you're unsure about taking a certain action ask the group/GM through the OOC or in PMs respectively.
  • Please do not harass or insult your fellow players. If you are running into a problem please message the GM in a private message.
  • Consult fellow players before making sweeping decisions about the World State. Choices that change the world or impact multiple characters requires the agreement/consideration of the party.
  • Secrets among characters are fine, but make sure to message the GM to ensure they can prepare properly.
  • Avoid OOC chat in the IC
  • Stick to the lore of the story!
  • Have fun!

The Essential Ithean Atlas has been updated!


^So whenever someone in the party learns about a new piece of lore (discovering a new place, new faction, or character) the above notification will be posted above my next IC post. There's no pressure to check it right away, it's just a way of keeping you all notified when you've discovered something new! Hope this helps! If you all totally hate this idea I can scrap it.

The Quest Log has been updated!


^Alternatively, this will appear above my next IC post whenever your party completes a major portion of a quest! I'll hopefully try to give a summary of how the mission was completed for your use later.

I believe so! A solid number of people expressed interest but I've only gotten a few character sheets so far (with one person not responding as of right now). So things are still really open! I'm also completely cool with allowing others that might not be able to join the main party, create quests for the main party and RP with them through that way (having guest RPers or interim GMs, if that makes sense).

The short answer is, yes, we're still accepting character sheets for the main party. I think everyone is learning really quickly how 'wordy' I can be, lol. Sorry, in advance.

Aight, sounds good. I'll see about making a character when I get home Friday or on the weekend, thanks for the reply.

Sooo, with all the options available I thought of a multitude of characters that all seem interesting. But how can I play as all of them without convoluting the thread? Card Spirit Summoning! My character has a deck of heroes/legends and he can switch between them!!!
Well since they are legends it would be too OP to have them full power so they are limited by the power of my character and their stamina.
What do you think?@Famotill

Edit: He uses a card to merge with it, changing his outer appearance and powers matching that of the heroes.

For the time being I think it's best if everyone in the party has just one character.

You bring up an interesting idea, but it conflicts with the way Pact magic works in this world (which summoning typically falls under). In order to use Pact magic you have to swear an oath (or be forcibly bound) to one patron. They then provide you with magic through their own otherworldly power. Typically betraying that oath is a very bad choice for a character to make.

Another potential avenue is shapeshifting (a form of Primal magic) which could allow you to turn into certain creatures. I just want to make sure that all characters are balanced out here, and fit well into the lore of the world. Though if you want a character with a card motif there are some avenues we can explore (poison cards, cards as projectile weapons, etc.)

Lastly, your character could actually be a Bard. Bard's sing or play instruments to aid in combat. So your character could potentially write hymns based on legends/heroes to grant themselves or allies abilities/buffs in combat. For example, a hymn/song about a mighty warrior may rally a downed teammate causing them to get back up and have increased strength.

Also, if you have a number of ideas please feel free to share them here or through PMs! I think it'd be nice to hear constructive input from everyone regarding the characters that will end up in the main party!

There's my guy. I might have gone over board with the backstory. I just liked the idea of a up and coming young noble trying to work his way to the top. I read a similar plot in a book once and I liked the idea.

No need to apologize! Longer backstories help me in preparing for the future! I am really enjoying the character! I'm definitely interested in creating a bit more lore for Bram's father if that's alright with you! I'll need to flesh him out should the party choose to travel to Cambridge at some point.

Also, I just want to let everyone know (probably should have said this before ) that you don't have to start off as a well-trained or grizzled veteran to combat. The idea is that these characters will be learning, growing stronger, and gaining notoriety as they advance through the story!

I left him vague for that reason! I wanted to let you run wild with the characters. So is he accepted then?

Oh and my guy is not grizzled or well trained. Not really.
