The New Dawn of Kanorth! (Medieval realism RPG)

[Bevolerian]

Btw, as the northern wastes have been separated so for so long, can't we say they speak in a tongue that the rest of the world wouldn't understand? Would make things interesting for my char trying to communicate.

Hhmmm, I need to think about this and even probably have to discuss this with Roran.
I am thinking about this because :

Gain of the idea : The world be much richer of culture etc.
Loss of the idea : That means also that it's bound that it is sometimes very difficult to communicate with the other RPG'ers.

Besides, the people who were exiled to the Northern Wastes were from either Asper or Vinngealos....
I will let you know when I have a answer.

Alrighty, thank you.

He has talent for combat, and is a true natural talent. As such, the dutyfull weaponmaster in their homestead, a fortified village attached to a mighty castle, was under great stress of the responsibility to train Roran. A natural talent is hard to bloom fully, but he has done a great job.

History of House Hawkins: The history of the House Hawkins stretches back to the Old Empire, where they were a proud family that supported the army, yes, lived for the army. They are said to have royal ties, when a bastard of the ancient king married the last successor of a house going exstinct, and formed the House Hawkins. This house has found enemies in the House Belentor, since Tyvandor had discovered Fredrik Belentor as a traitor.

Now with the war treatening their people once again, House Hawkins will lead their people to victory again. They hope.

"Well, now we have the time, I'll tell you about our families' histories. Back in the old days of the Empire, Cavenin was the outmost Eastern stretch of land they ever gained, apart from the islands and traders with the Eastern lands. The Empire had tried to gain contact, or even colonise the Far Eastern lands, but diplomatic actions proved only to reap war. Exactly 1769 years ago, the Easterners invaded what now is Cavenin. In that time, our ancient ancestor was a mere polemarchos in their army. The First encounter between both armies was relentless, and several large scale battles ensued. The Easterners appeared to be winning, and after several weeks of skirmishes, the main Vinngealosean force had to retreat. The first time in history they were ever beaten back! Since their uprising now 1894 years ago, they marched right through any army they encountered. The Vinngealosean cavalry was dispersed over a large amount of terrain, and the Easterners treated them as fallen and destroyed. Our ancestor however, led a small group of cavalry as a polemarchos. His superiors all died, and now he was left in command of the 2000 men large unit of heavy cavalry. This unit was dispersed and heavily beaten however, but through sheer genius and brilliant tactics, he reorganised the bunch of scattered men, and launched a destructive counterattack against the enemy army, completely wiping out their chain of command, by hitting their rear. The Vinngealosean army, now fighting an army led by mere field officers, completely wiped out the enemy forces. The young high king and commander of the army, after the old one had been slain, Aethan Arianti, rewarded our ancestor with a promotion to nobility. Due to sheer loyalty and sense of duty, Evandar Hawkins became a noble, and received the lands we still posses today. And most importantly, as a gift for his valour on the field of battle, he was given the hand of Isolla Arianti, the sister of Aethan, in marriage. That's when our families ties were created. Our family has been loyal to the death ever since then to the Vinngealosean high king, up untill the day of Aethelbert the mad King. He ruled Vinngealos with an iron fist, and was the main cause of the fall of the Old Empire. Under his rule, many innocent people were executed for crimes or sent to the wastes as punishment. Then, the Duchy of Civan separated itself. The mad King, infuriated by the disloyalty, gathered his forces to strike down the rebellion. At the same time, Asper rebelled, and Aethelbert the mad king raised taxes even more, causing his people to rebel everywhere. An upstanding general of the 3th legion rebelled aswell, and when he gathered his only loyal allies, the imperator of the 1st legion, he was murdered by his closest friend. Since that time, chaos has ruled in Vinngealos. Our family refused to remain loyal to the monstrous high king, and followed the Duchy of Civan. House Arianti remained in Vinngealos, and were a beacon of light in the raging storm of the self-destruction of the empire. Eventually, rest returned and hostilities ceased, sealed by the weak rule they had up untill recently. Now, Aedan is reclaimin the throne, as it was his families' 1769 years ago, the same year as when our family raised into nobility, thanks to him. We are honour-bound to help him, so we will."

Brief History: I was born on June 17 in the Northern Wastes, my mother was a criminal here for murder, and was pregenant when they sent her. I don't know anything about my father, and she never mentioned him, but she only lived until i was the age of 5. She died of the freezing cold. I was then taken in by another criminal who hunted here to live, and lets say he did it out fo the kindness of his heart. He taught me to trap, use a bow, and fish if their were and pond not dried and frozen so thick that you couldn't break them with an axe, he taught me to make a fire, build a tent and tan leather. He also taught me how to use the weapon of the sword, but since their is no source of metals anywhere in this godforsaken land, we had to steal it from passing caravans, and that took forever seeing as they only passed here about twice a year. And we built our own forge, he then taught me how to blacksmith.
He alway wanted me to leave this place and now that im older I think will...

[Saggod]

Are we going to have any NPCs? It seems we're all spread out, so it may be a while before any interacting goes on.

[Bevolerian]

Can't we just like.. Make a list where everyone is?

[RamessessX]

Thats a good idea actually

[Saggod]

We could. I just thought there were some things NPCs would be useful for. But that's really up to whoever's in charge.

[Gerontis]

We are going to have NPC's, who may be controlled by yourself or by another. I will make list of where somebody is and their status ( sick etc. )
Still need to make my own character though xD
