For centuries this world has known only suffering: death, disease, famine. Ithea rots and erodes as effete and broken kings wage petty wars to enshrine their name in the minds of fools. The traditions that once guided our peoples are dead. Our oceans blacken with taint while we squabble over the morality of power. It is not strength what corrupts you. What weakens the hearts of men is an inability to wield that strength as your sword and thrust it at the world. It is not Cristo or Therest that will save you. Your false gods sit on empty thrones. It is time that men of sense and innovation take hold of the reigns that steer Ithea and her waters. The power we've eschewed for fear of what might happen when we become the makers of our own destiny can no longer go to waste. If it is us who must carve out a future worth dying for then so be it. For those who stand in the way of progress there is only fire and blood.

May logic guide us ever-forward, and may our works light the path. For the odyssey is dark and hastened in chaos.

Medium Interna








The year is 41 in the Age of Owls. Intrepid wanderers, you have found yourselves in the land of spices. For some of you, it may be home, and for others an exotic reprieve from the monotony of life beyond the veil. Regardless, you come to this place to repay what is owed. But not all is what it seems. There are forces at work in the shadows. You have stumbled into a war that was not yours. Can you cast out the whispering hands that grasp for power?

And what will you do should the task of shaping Ithea be thrust upon you? What would anyone do?

This is a tale of owls and wolves, and your stories begin in the rose-petal city, Caracas.









*Feel free to take design liberties with the CS Sheet. I've found this sheet to be a useful skeleton, but as long as you include the information most relevant to your character in a concise and readable way you're clear.*

@Kassarock, @ethanjory, @Dead Cruiser, @Fetzen

Hey all, just wanted to tag you in the OOC to let you know the initial draft is up. I know that the atlas is a bit...expansive, but please don't feel intimidated by it. I don't expect anyone to read up on all of the lore. I just provide it so that folks can read up on what seems relevant or interesting for their character. I'm always open to questions even if you feel like it may have been covered in the Atlas.

Also, please don't mind the crap maps. I'm working on updated versions of each continent map! Thank you again everyone! I hope this RP can prove a fun, stress-free, and enjoyable space for everyone involved.

@KassarockKarlus is looking great! Hopefully we have some other peeps interested in tagging along. I'll have a more substantive review when we start getting some other players. Definitely like what I see though

Hrm, the character I had planned was also meant to be an erudite/scholar/mage, so I guess that idea is shot through.

Well in terms of party composition I'm trying to play it as a bit more of spell-blade, so there's still room for a full caster, I could also tone down some of the more scholar aspects of the character to give you more breathing room?

@Dead Cruiser There are no party limitations on my end. We could have an entire party of mages if that is what the group wants. Though it would make some parts of the RP easier for you all if you had a non-mage(s) it can still be worked around!

@Kassarock That also works

@Kassarock You got to it first, I wouldn't ask anyone to bend their character around my demands.

@Famotill Eh, I may just hang back and observe for a while.

I have been considering playing a Tiefling much more on the strong than on the agile or magic side of things, though whether he'd use that for a Barbarian, a Ranger (think of a very strong bow or a crossbow) or a Rogue route (you don't need to pick the lock if you can break the door gently without using momentum) is still pretty much in the open. So I'm flexible if there are any concerns. Assuming that any of those routes makes sense of course :)

I should mention, since I know a few others are working on a character sheet, if you wish to keep your character's history largely secret you can write a brief summary for their character sheet, and send me the fuller description. This just helps me to make it more relevant to the narrative for each of you!

@KassarockHey Kassarock, I managed to get all my assignments done early @_@ so I had more time to look over Karlus. After further review I really can't find anything that I'd change! Feel free to add him to the Characters tab when you get the chance!

@Famotill safe to say, sir, you and your wonderful worldbuilding has my attention. The question is, do I dust off Ralorin or go from scratch...

@BlitzyThank you so much man. You're welcome to do whichever you want. We have an interesting potential cast thus far including a ruination/apparition mage, a Brith Bard, and a strength-based rogue. As usual, whichever you should decide just let me know if there are any lore based questions.

@ParzivolYes there is, though you'd likely be the cut off save for side/villains characters or drop-outs! I was aiming for 3-5 player characters as more has tended to make my brain hurt. When you start to work on your CS feel free to message me with questions about lore pertinent to your character (or concept), and I can help :)
