Blood of the Crown

@shylarah Great - I like the rune. If you think she's done, wait for me to make a post in characters and then you can add her. (^_^)

@BurningCold No, I got confused - don't worry about it, lol, your CS is fine. Eager to see it complete.

Blood of the Crown

@BurningCold - I adore Kalowick. You did an amazing job of mixing the Old Ways and having an oath to the crown! I really don't have anything to say... other than, could you expand on the Everbranch Border Post? No need to edit the CS, just so I can add it as one of the key locations for the setting~ (^_^)

@shylarah - She seems lovely~ You've got a great start. The only critique I have is, can you explain more about her rune's spells? You listed force, but what does that entail?

Blood of the Crown

@shylarah Ok... ages 12-20? I think that's pretty reasonable. It's not what I'd personally call an important detail, but some details matter~ (^_^)

Blood of the Crown

@BurningCold Added one thing to the CS - that being rank / profession. As for your idea - there can definitely be a coven of druids that are exactly as your describe. The main point to Old Magic is faith.

@shylarah Academy for knights? Not so much - you request to be a squire at a young age and when the knight you're a squire of deems you ready, you take exams to become a knight (mix of martial and tactics probably). There are royal knights, those who stand guard at the castle instead of protecting the lands. I need to add towns, now that I think of it...

Anyways, that role (royal knight) is applied for after becoming a knight. To become a knight commander, it would be more ... like being elected by the current knight commanders and the king/queen (or steward of the throne), but the king/queen vote only counts as one - so some knight commanders do get in, even if they voted for no. A tradition that's been instated for generations.

General ages are what you might expect - 12-20 are generally the ages of squires, 18-26 are knights, and probably... 24+ for knight commanders. I know it's not the most realistic thing to essentially have generals be so young, but it's fantasy roleplay. =3

Hope that helps!

With @LucidRain & @Bartimaeus joining, I'm going to close this to new applicants for the time being. I'm happy to have found my small group~

Blood of the Crown

@Daxam Sounds good to me! I have a soft spot for guardian type characters~

Blood of the Crown

@shylarah It's just 5 players (which is perfect to me), so I'd rather everyone have fun with who they play more than anything else. If that means being a sorcerer instead, then go for it. I can always think of story reasons why the party groups together.

Blood of the Crown

@shylarah Oh! So they are 36 now, got it. I'd say the last king was a kind, wise, and fair man ... so yes, it'd be entirely possible. (^_^)

Edit: Finally finished up the magic section. I'll do more tomorrow~

Blood of the Crown

@BurningCold I do like the idea of the old magic or druidic magic, but I think werewolves and vampires would take away from the setting - so saying a no there.

I also appreciate the offers on worldbuilding. If there's anything you'd like to see, please let me know, and then we can all work together to see how we can fit it into the world~

@Lyla would it be possible for a young knight who is not yet a commander but expected to become one to have a rune? Say, a sixteen-year-old knight who shows a lot of promise? Or are the runes reserved only for the knight commanders?

@shylarah

It's not up, yet, but the king has been dead for 20 years now - so if it's a 16-year old knight commander-to-be, they're too young to have gotten a rune from the last king. As a general question, it'd depend on who sits on the throne if you get one before or after acquiring the rank of knight commander.
