Seeking RPG

Hello! We have a roleplay starting up right now that might float your boat! It's sorta like a big thing of dungeons and dragons, but a little less magic. You can apply to create your own empire and duke it out between the warring countries, or if that doesn't suit you, you can always just make a character. We have a discord server and the IC is just starting up. Feel free to check it out!

(Carver Pentaghast (Main), House of Decus in the capital of Great Praelium)

"This could mean war, Lord Tyrannus!" A Dec slammed his fist at his desk. "We've lost an entire village and we haven't got a clue from whom!"

Carver's brow furrowed, frustrated with the Dec's aggressive tone. It seemed that the man only wanted to talk about sending scouts to all over the continent, searching for a reason to go to war. The last thing Carver wanted was to mobilize his forces against any of the other countries. To attack one would mean to open up a weak side to another. The On'hinians were warmongers, and although Praelium had no provoked them, he wouldn't be surprised if they were to launch an attack whilst they were weak. Benaduza was one riot short from a shattered nation, and it wouldn't be long before someone would try to make Praelium their home if they were weak. And last but not least, the warring tribes to the north. Their defense against them was constant, and were the tribes given one tiny advantage, Praelium would surely lose too many good soldiers.

"We'll look into it, but there is no reason to snoop around other empires." Carver said with a stern look to the outspoken Dec. "To send scouts to other countries would only cause us to look worse in the eyes of other nations. And that's the last thing we need right now."

"We already look bad, Lord Tyrannus," The Dec said smugly. "Having our people burned to the ground by seemingly absolutely nothing? We look weak!"

"Then that's their mistake for thinking that!" Claudius almost seemed to roar at the Dec, causing the season veteran to flinch. "If they come to our land, that's their loss for fighting our people. They underestimate the power of Praelium if they set foot in our territory."

Carver nodded. "Claudius is correct. If they come here, we will end them. Until then, we play the defense. I want to at least have to sides of our country not under constant threat of attack before we leave ourselves defenseless."

"You doubt our might!"The outspoken Dec laughed. "We could easily win a war while maintaining a defense on our borders. Benaduza is only a potential threat! It isn't even real!"

"I value our people, Dec," Carver's fist clenched and teeth gritted. "We could win the war without a doubt, but at what cost? Half our army? For our nation to survive, our people need to survive. Do you care not for our people?"

The Dec's laughter stopped. "That is not what I meant sir," He looked towards the ground, sheepishly. "I was merely trying to-"

"Make us lose an entire generation of Praelium citizens." Carver waved his hand at the Dec, dismissing any further statements he had to make. "We keep our investigation local and tighten up forces around borders. Allow former citizens under the age of thirty to rejoin our forces to boost numbers. Opposed?"

The House of Decus responded with silence, and Carver nodded his head.

"Council dismissed. The forces that burned our village down will be stopped, but without enticing a war against all the other countries. We all know it would take a simple gust of wind to send them into chaos."

The House chuckled and all left for their separate ways. Carver sat down in his chair at the head of the House, rubbing his temples. Claudius made his way to the troubled Tyrannus.

"Excellent decision, sir." Claudius patted Carver on the back. "It would look bad if we sent scouts out to countries we are trying to make alliances with."

Carver looked up to his right hand man and cracked a weak smile.

"Ah, if only politics was as easy as slaying a bear right?" Carver chuckled, but he turned his head and began to stare out into nothing. "Dominus wanted to talk to me..."

Claudius a little, surprised at what Carver had just said. The House of Dominus had never spoken to the Tyrannus before, except to usurp them. But that was usually right before their body was burned with a spell of fire.

"Dominus? What do they want?"

"Private Tryannus buisness!" Carver voice tried to be light and his faint grin returned for a moment. However, it ultimately failed and he could not hide the weariness in this voice. His eyes were still locked into nothingness.
"All they told me was that it was urgent and it involved business from the past."

"I'm sure it will all be fine, Carver." The dragonborn tried to reassure him, but even he knew that it was bad news when Dominus was intervened for anything.

"I'll drop you off at the palace, and then I'm off to Dominus," Carver said, slowly standing up and making his way towards his coach. He stopped in the archway and turned around to Claudius. He cracked a smile. "And you're right. It will be fine. What's the worse that could happen? They tell use a giant, flaming rock will fall from the sky, crushing all of Praelium?"

(Carver Pentaghast (Main), Courtyard of the Castle of the Tyrannus)

With a mighty battle cry, Carver brought down his great sword upon his foe. A mighty clang rang throughout the courtyard as the sword sliced through the flesh of his victim and found it's way towards the floor. With ragged breaths, Carver slowly reclaimed his sword from the floor. This battle was hard fought from both parties, but Carver arose the victor from this one.

"Lord Tyrannus, did you really need to fight a bear? Was I beginning to bore you?"

Carver laughed as a servant ran up to him, handing him a rag to clean off his sword. "Come on now, Claudius. No need to be upset about it. A just needed a little mix up, that's all. He cleaned off the blood from his sword and smiled, remembering his days of glory fondly. "Besides, I wanted to break out my broadsword again. It's been so terribly long..."

The gruff voice revealed himself. It was a dragon born clad in high ranking Praelium armor. He was a bit annoyed with the Tyrannus. He considered actions like these childish. Carver's argument was that he could do these things in his free time, and that while Claudius would prefer Carver relaxed, relaxing was never Carver's thing. "I'll sleep when I'm dead!" was his favorite line.

"Well sir, if you're finshing enacting your revenge for the lumberjacks, the House of Decus requires you in two hours."

"Right then," Carver replied, sheathing his sword. "Ready the coach and I'll be unbloodied within the hour."

(The bear had killed several woodsman. Instead of merely hunting and killing it, Carver wanted to see if he still could hold his own in an actual battle and requested for it to be brought to him, so he could kill it himself. Were he to find any real trouble, Claudius was standing by to assist.)

Carver "Swift Colossus" Pentaghast
Main

"My superior told me, 'Swift Colossus! That's your warrior title,' but I told him I was upset that they didn't named me 'Carver the Carver.' Carver, as in carving through enemies. He laughed at me, and I did 200 pushups. It was worth it."
-Age: 42
-Height: 6' 3"
-Weight: 220 lbs

Clothing

"These looks nice, don't they? Too bad that's all they're good for."
Normal
See image. The armor he wears is light and is mostly for show, and would not hold up in combat much better than studded leather armor.
"Ah how I miss the glory days. My back, however, does not feel the same sentiment."
Battle Gear
Carver rarely adorns any battle gear anymore, as he did his duty as a soldier and no longer fights in wars. However, this does not stop Carver from pushing himself and practicing his skills with the royal guard. His weapon of choice is a broadsword, to which he used to be able to move with much agility when he was in his prime. However, as he is older and out of actual practice, he is somewhat clunky with it, and has moved on to try and master the long sword. He wears plate mail when he has to fight.

Biography:

"Ah, youth. How I long to go back to it."
Carver was son of a Dec and lived a fantastic life as a young child. He received excellent schooling and top notch combat training. He excelled in both fields and this trend continued onto his military career, where he joined the army at the age of 14. He wasn't deployed onto the border against the north until 18, and that is where he made a name for himself.
"The border was so boring. I spent most of my days counting grains of sand in the desert. Which I counted all of. Twice."
Carver's first two years on the border was nothing eventful. It was mostly keeping bandits and thieves out of Praelium. But one night when Carver was watching post at the end of his 2nd year on patrol, he noticed an usual light in the distance. He pulled out his spyglass and saw in distance something the size of a large battalion, headed straight towards them. He immediately sounded an alarm and readied his weaponry for battle. However, the people on station were outnumber 3 to 1, and Carver could only hope to hold off the oncoming attackers. Carver did not fear them, and rallied the men that he had and began their defense. With Carver's leadership and battle prowess, he held of the attackers, who wore flags from a single northern country. He reported this information to the House of Decus, and thus began the War for Praelium.
"Their biggest mistake was first attack the post that I was on watch for."
The northern country that had attacked was leaving their homeland due to the poor desert conditions and rise of an imminent attack from other countries onto them. Hopelessly outnumbered by the much larger country, they decided their best option was to launch their own campaign on Praelium and take over the much nicer land there. Praelium, however, did not bend over very easily, or at all for them. With reports of Carver's great leadership skills and proficiency on the battlefield reaching the House of Decus, Carver was immediately promoted and given his own battalion of soldiers. The war lasted for fifteen years, as the fighting was relentless from the northern country. The war only ended when the last of the northern country's people had either surrendered or perished. Carver's incredible defensive tactics and actual presence on the battlefield played a great role in the seemingly impossible victory for Praelium, so when the old Tyrannus passed away it was no contest for Carver when the election was held.
"My rule as Tyrannus as been the 2nd best experience of my life. Nothing quite beats the thrill of good guy versus bad guy in war, though."
As Tyrannus, most everyone in Praelium agrees that Carver has done an excellent job. As his country is recovering from the war, he has focused on reconstruction of damaged buildings and a bigger defense against another possible northern attack. He is a big proponent an alliance against the warring country to the north of him, as his country is the closest thing one to the warring battlefield of the northern desert.

Personality

"Describe myself..? I think Tyrannus is a good enough descriptor."
Although Carver can be disciplined when need be, he prefers to take things light when possible. He tends to avoid conflict and likes to compromise when possible. However, when his back is against the wall Carver can be aggressive, ruthless, and passionate, especially when it comes to his duty as Tyrannus of Praelium. During his youth Carver was quite cocky, but since then he has toned down, although his bravado still bleeds through sometimes.

Praelium

Political System

Stratocracy (Military based). Praelium is ran by the House of Decus, the House of Dominus, and ruled by the Tyrannus.

Tyrannus

The Tyrannus is essentially the king of Praelium and can steer the country to however they wish, as long as they act within the bounds of the law. The Tyrannus, in addition to leading a the country, also controls the military and can declare war whenever they so please. They are expected to attend to international affairs and represent the nation as a whole. When it comes to the House of Decus, they run the meetings and can also act as an individual Dec within the House.
To become a Tyrannus, a soldier must rise through the ranks of the military and be honorably discharged. If the Tyrannus dies, all soldiers eligible and willing to be a Tyrannus is selected as a potential candidate for Tyrannus. An election is held between all members of the military, and the Tyrannus serves until their death or they are deemed no longer fit for the position.

House of Decus

Essentially the equivalent to the United States senate, but holds a bit less power as the Tyrannus holds most of it. Members of the house are referred to as "Dec"s, and create laws. To become a Dec, one must rise through the ranks as a soldier to a certain rank (obviously not as high of a requirement as a Tyrannus) and if they are willing, are granted to be a Dec.

House of Dominus

Only few citizens of Praelium remember the origins of the mysterious Dominus, but they hold power that is much greater than the Tyrannus. A majority of the people consider the House of Dominus not a part of Praelium, but instead a mysterious cult that was there long before Praelium was established as a nation. While it is clear they look out for the best of Praelium, no one knows their protocol or reasoning. But next to that, most people only have rumors to what goes on with the House of Dominus. All the people know is that all the known Praelium mages are taken there. When a child is born, a member from the House of Dominus is always at the birth and takes the child before the mother even gets to hold her child. From there, a ritual is performed to detect whether or not the child has magical potential. If it does not, the child is simply returned to the family. If it doesn, the child is taken away and the family is notified by the doctor instead of the Dominus. It is said that members of the House go through rigorous study and come out infinitely wiser than most people. The House will insert themselves in situations where they deem necessary, such as a Tyrannus acting out of line or if there is corruption in the House of Decus, which they always somehow find out about. If the population of Praelium ever feel threatened by the government, the House of Dominus is where they go to seek help. The House has overthrown Tyrannuses and the House of Decus before, and the powers they wield strike fear and awe into the people of Praelium. Although their help in the military has been asked by the Tyrannus before, they always refuse, never clearly stating their reasons why.

Territory Description

Praelium is a land of extremes, with either having great mountains as of the Mountain of Imperium or stretches of flat lands such as the Great Plains of Vaux. The diverse terrain provides good farming land and defensive military points.

Significant Places

A- Gloria. Most battles against the "savage" northern desert tribes take place here.
B- Congus. Located in the Congus jungle, troops generally prepare here for fighting in over seas campaigns where jungles are common.
C- Inclina majora. A mountain side fort filled with archers. The archer to swordsman ratio is about 3:1.
D- Viridi, located in the plains. Consists of almost only new soldiers. Used mainly for a boot camp.
E- Artis Port- Trade with the penisula to the right usually occur here.
F- Paline- Home to Praelium's navy. It is as busy as Fort Gloria to the North due to the ticking time bomb below them, Benaduza. Efforts are trying to be made to create a vast and possibly more technologically advanced navy to try and counter Benaduza's king's impressive naval skills.
G- Pacala- A strange mix of a port and fort. Trade done with Benaduza is done here, but regulations are strict. Guards are always on the watch for potential spies or enemies that come from Benaduza.
H- Crementum Port- Trade with any nation to the left of Praelium is done here.
I-Inclina minora- The sister to Inclina majora. Newly established, this fort is small and consists of as many soldiers as construction workers.
J- Tandem, near the capital. Is a last line of defense if the northern desert ever breaches Gloria. A mix of veterans and new recruits make up the population.
K- Great Praelium- The capital of the continent. The capital holds plenty of leisurely activites for the people of Praelium as well as all of its government policies. No one besides Praellium citizen's are allow here.

Culture Description

Praelium holds great value in the honor of battle. They do not view it as a savage act, but instead view it as an ultimate test of mind and body. Everyone must have joined the military at one point and gone through training as per the law of the land. Those who do not show great promise in battle are often given peasant lives of farming or running a stand in a market. While not unappreciated, peasants are viewed as lesser citizens by military ones, but do not suffer from any harsh laws that forbid them from anything, except holding a position in government.
Praelium's people is xenophobic, as they are constantly surrounded by threats of other nations. This xenophobia is further supported by the people's intense sense of nationalism. Most people cannot imagine their life outside of Praelium and very few ever move from their home country. Almost all previous Tryannuses have promoted this xenophobic thinking, but Carver is desperately trying to change that and hope for a more friendly relations with other countries.
The country's main enemy is the warring tribes north to Praelium, and their feelings towards the north are generally nothing short of pure hate. Were it up to the average Praelium citizen, they would happily launch a military campaign of attack to the north and slaughter every last one of the tribesman.
As for other nations, the people take an out of sight, out of mind policy. They care little of the Jagged Mercantile Consortium or On'hino. However, they do watch out for the possible fate of Benaduza. With the direction the nation is going, they fear it will end up like the desert tribes of the north, a constant warring state that will eventually try and attack Praelium. Benaduzians are usually met with caution and avoidance, as they associate the countries unrest with their citizens as well.
The population consists of a human majority, with the human to non human ratio being 5:1. However, as long as one is a Praelium citizen, a human would show no more disgust towards and elf than another human. This tends to come from the bond made during military training and battle.
When it comes to magic, Praelium people are either mystified or terrified of it. The only contact Praelium people come with magic is the ever mysterious House of Dominus.
Praelium's religious culture is quite the opposite of how they view everything else. Religion is generally decided by a single person, and whether they believe a pre-existing one, one of their own, or nothing at all is generally up to the individual. However, borrowing power of favor from Gods is looked down on. Praelium's people believe that the power of Gods should be used strictly by the Gods, and to use it themselves would be disrespectful to any creature of higher power.

Just choose one that hasnt been chosen lol.

Freeform Fantasy Roleplay (Anybody can just jump in.)

@Animera
"Well I suppose it's time I did something." A woman who Caligate didn't notice before stood up from a table. She seemed insignificant before, just another face in the crowd to Caligate. But her calm demeanor to this possible major threat suggested she was far more than just another face. She swiftly made her way towards Caligate, removing her cloak and giving it to the little girl he had picked up.

"Take this child to safety, I will cover you." The woman said. Her voice was soft, but still had a sharp tone to it. However her voice changed, and she spoke softly to the girl. "Don't lose it, it is very special."

She turned around and her eyes locked with Caligate's for a moment. Her hair began to flicker with flames and her eyes began to glow.

"What are you waiting for lizard man? Get out of here now!" Her voice was no longer soft, but was coarse, as if she was growling out her commands.

Apparently, no one knows how to say the word Argonian... Caligate turned and made it to the door. Before he left the tavern, he took one quick glance back to the shadow girl and the fight that was about to ensue. The woman's body was now swirling with flames and had her swords drawn. He did not recognize her abilities as magic at all. It was something completely foreign to him. His natural curiosity forced him to stop for just a moment to observe this new power.

His concentration was broken by the barbarian's war cry as he slashed right into the shadow girl, delivering a fatal blow! Or so he thought.

She rushed the barbarian with her dagger in hand, and Caligate quickly made his way out of the tavern.

As he reached the outside, there was still people running amok, desperately trying to get to safety. He placed the child down."Stay here, girl." He told her, hoping to reassure her safety. "Keep this cloak nice a tight and you'll be safe."

He turned back towards the tavern. "Shit..." He exhaled. "Hopefully this tavern won't come crashing down..." Caligate's hands began to drip with darkness.

"Alright... One giant ice demon, coming up..." Caligate began to concentrate, putting all of his mental energy into this spell. Usually, Caligate could do this quickly, but of course the alcohol was affecting his performance.
