The Frost Barren Lands (For good friends of Storyboy only)

[Storyboy]

Blue- Explanation of the RP
Black- Explanation of each group of people
Green- These will be major people after we do CS's

This is a story based of mythology of different sorts but will be more like (from what I've heard) Game of Thrones, where mythology is there but not always seen. Each player will play the role of a human, a demi-god, and a god; all of which could belong to different tribes. There are a total of five tribes each led by a Jarl (chieftain). Starting from west to east there were the sea wolves of the west, The Bogmen (will change title if someone claims this tribe), the Volkor (again change if you pick this tribe), and the Kyrk of the Kylak Forest to the East. Lastly there are the Kaldara to the North on the other side of the snow peak mountains.

Not only are there the five tribes (based off of Scandinavian Vikings) but there also two other factions. The Skoti (based of Russians around 500 AD) and the Holy Army (based off the Romans). To further note there are sects that broke off from the tribes and worship more primal gods that some refer to as demons. These are few and far between but their cults are dangerous.


Fortshire (claimed)- A war based tribe. They are the main defenders of the land and also bring in many foreign riches through their raids. They are a proud group of tough of pirates and soldiers. They are known to bring fear into the hearts of their enemy with their rage and determination to bring you down. This is technically the most powerful tribe but each of the four southern tribes rely on each other in order to survive.

Bomen (unclaimed)- They live in the thickest swamps on the face of the planet. They grow trees and flood resavoirs in different patterns throughout the years in order to cause invading forces to get lost and/or killed. They are also well known for the herbs and medicines they provide.

Bjørn (unclaimed)- Their lands are mossy and mountainous. The hunting is good here and the weather is some of the best. This is the only land of the country that can grow plants well and therefor most of the farming is done here. Though they produce much more crops than the other tribes the mountains of the land keep them from producing enough for the population to be as large as their enemies.

The Kyrks(Claimed)- The Kyrklands are also home too substantial forest but the trees that grow here produce a finer wood that is needed to produce the sturdy boats that are used for raids and distant fishing. Their territory varies more than most in that it stretches from coast, through forest, and to the base of the snow peak mountains. Their shore is not as safe as that of the Sea Wolves with its rock and shallow bottom, nor is their northern game as abundant as their Volkor neighbors but they have the essentials and trade for what ever else they need much like the other tribes.

The Kaldara(claimed)- The Kaldara of the north have the largest region by far. Their land is equivlant to that of all the southern tribes put together, but they are direct neighbors with the Skoti and their land is barren. Their tundra stretches for as far as the eye can see and more but other than their naked trees their is the occasional hare and deer but not much else. Life to the north is tough, but that's just how they like it.

The Skoti (unplayable)- The Skoti are known for their skills with a horse and bow. They have been around ever since the tribes were formed and possibly before then. They train well are survive off of plunder but they lack the ferocity of their native counterparts. They have seen the land many times in their attacks but they have not lived on it and therefor lack the home advantage.

The Holy Army(unplayable)- The best trained and the most well equipped. Their armor shines gold but it does no good in the cold and harsh weather of these foreign lands. They come in numbers in the spring but those numbers dwindle in the come of fall. They have met the natives ferocity with tactics and sometimes they win. Though they may not always win, when they do they make it count.

Tívar(unplayable)- With the foreign armies came their gods and they grow powerful with every prayer they receive.

Feigr(unplayable)- Demons summoned by their necrophiliac worshipers. They thrive off of sin and sacrifice.

Unclaimed groups can be renammed and have info changed. If you change your own group let me know.

Change the color from red to something else it is hard to read.

[Storyboy]

changed also noticed I had a tribe and my guy as the same name...changed that too

[Platinum cobra]

The Kaldara are claimed and the Skoti are unclaimed.

[Storyboy]

thanks for that. Changed it to say claimed for your guys and unplayable for the other factions...also were you okay with the land I gave your group? You can change their description before the rp starts I just wanted everyone to be different

[Platinum cobra]

Yeah it sounds perfect to me since my guy is an Ice god, I will make my demi god his son and then the human character probably the chieftain if that is ok.

[Storyboy]

sounds good to me. I will likely have my human in the same tribe but my demi-god I'm thinking a female in another tribe XD...speaking of which, what more do I need to do to satisfy Ms. Kitty?

[Platinum cobra]

I don't know she hasn't contacted me, about anything why did she talk to you.

[Storyboy]

through a pm yeah. Just she wanted more concrete info. I think I did that, you two will build off of it now. Like the Tivar I want to be more like Greek/Roman gods, which is why I wanted you to change from ice to ice and something else because Greek gods were one thing, like Poseidon of the sea

[Platinum cobra]

From ice to ice?
