Bump
The majority of the heavy details are in the OOC, but this is an RP dealing with a great nation that has split into two, one rooted in the past, tradition, and prejudices, and the other itching for advances. Neither of these new countries can stand the other and the mounting distress has lead them both to fear invasion from the other. Lyune, the more advanced, has made innovations to counter Kovno's structured and sword driven armada. Kovno has prepared a large regiment in hopes of overwhelming the more segmented Lyune with sheer numbers. Both are reluctant to use magicians, as they both try to subjugate magic users for their protection, but in strategists's worst fears the war that is about to erupt will pull no punches whatsoever.
A group of outsiders (many of them magic users who wish to escape their oppressive homes) has been wandering between towns and the two countries in hopes under the guise of a travelling circus, while in reality they are hoping to find the one destined to take the crown and reign over both nations as one again. They have found a scepter, a mystical object, that supposedly knows the one who is to be that king. Many in the caravan are starting to give up and fear for their capture and probable murders. If the group cannot find the ruler soon, war will dash any hopes of reunification. It is within the best interests of many to stop the "circus" and many other insurgents. The plan's not foolproof by any means, but if no one attempts to make a difference, when will anything change?
Head over to the OOC if you'd like more detailed information and background. If you have a pressing question you may ask it here or in the OOC. On top of that, you can also just drop a line if you're interested here, but please keep CSs to the OOC thread.
