Rolman Flag
"We are beyond Death"


King Abram has passed, fallen from his horse killed from the ride. A sudden yet tragic accident has befallen the six kingdoms of Arlos with its king gone and no legitimate heir to take its place. The small court now ruling as a successor to be found and crowned king to renew its people and bring about a quick end to the unhappiness of the lost king. Only one heir worthy to be crowned the next king is found. Warden of East and Lord of Varim Castle, Calvert Rolman. Not the most cordial man but well known for his justice and battle prowess. Calvert's relation to the late king is his relation threw their grandmother's sister. Mixed was the reaction to Calvert's nomination to the throne, but law was law. Informed of this his only reaction was "Oh", or so his daughter described to the courier.

As it was obvious between Calvert and Abram they didn't quite get along, how or why isn't sure just that there was a mutual disagreement between them that distanced the two when the king had been alive. Regardless though Calvert accepted the duty as king and would come within the fort night when his affairs were set in order. Leaving with the hydra banner flying before them to the capital city Selvant. However when Lord Calvert's entourage came the whispers had been flying. The wide consensuses of whispers being why was he there or hadn't he heard. The suspicion was to be expect but something was off as Calvert and his daughter entered the throne room, a young man and the council going over paper work. Looking the council looking at his arrival as a shock but without hesitation and a sense of joy that he wasn't taking the throne. The young man in question was the supposed bastard of Abram.

Agitated by the notion Calvert grabs the young man chin inspecting the red haired filth claiming to be his nephew and new king. Inspecting the young man but pushed him away in a few seconds. "That is not Abram's stock." He yelled. "Your heads will be there!" Pointing the spikes overlooking the city. Storming out, paying no heed to Calvert as he left but what he did next.

Months later Calvert called his banners. His banner men coming in to heed their lords call for war and not long after two other liege lords claimed independence from the crown. Though he was the most feared because of his battlefield command. All terms were rejected as war was being prepared. The Hydra had been stirred and wouldn't stop until his desire meet or his jaws filled with blood.
Same as above but interested also.

Roughly about ten years or so.
I've done nation roleplays before in other forms, but I'd like to try my luck here. I've got several varying ideas that could prove to be quite fruitful I believe if they're given enough interest. I do however would require a co-gm, maybe two pending on the size of the group we have going.

First Idea
This would be your typical fantasy nation roleplay to a point. Having more of the Tolkien esqe aspect to it as far as the races are concerned. Any race though would be available for your choosing from Elves to the pesky Goblins. The idea that makes this though is the logistics aspect. Unlike most nation threads it would have upkeep. Meaning that to produce regiments of men or buildings would require an upkeep cost. After all it takes food and money to run an army right. To help with this is the economics, trade will play a large part on gathering wealth. So establishing trade routes would be a wise idea. This is a small taste of this idea.

Second Idea
Ready for some time travel? This comes from my absolute love of antiquity/ancient times. Either in a debate of actual nations or city states. Bronze weapons are still the major metals for war but iron working is new and becoming the new thing for all aspects of life. Small skirmishes and tactical warfare are key.

Third Idea
Well dropping the sheets behind any nation are the fief's. Each player would be a vassal for the king hold an individual town. Building and upgrading your town making it more prosperous. All the while sending taxes, food and other various materials for king to use as needed. In times of war would require services and the amount of men you can supply to the effort. The more you give, the more you will receive. Logistics again will play into this. Take a chance and maybe romance a highborn lady and it could either end in downfall or a castle gaining a vast promotion.
Well a bit about me. I consider myself a descent roleplayer but how good is up for you to determine. I came across this site recently and figured what the hell I'll join up. Before it is asked yes I am an actual dwarf in real life or midget if you will, whatever works I use it as my humor. So with that being said, Tyrion and I have a good bit in common ha ha. Well anything else please feel free to ask me what ever comes to mind
I would like to see where this goes. An idea for how this could go is that we are all members of the kings court, playing at the intrigue and backstabbing. But something could spur up an upstart and either war or something and throw all of us for a whirl. Or there is the possibility of starting us of with tourney being held and escalate the plot from something like that.
I would like to be apart of this also, even dispute wanting to make our own clans.
