Hey there, recently I've been milling around with my dissapointment in the lack of 'realistic' medieval RP's. So I waited for a while and nothing really sprung up -- there's good fantasy RP's out there but I prefer mine to have very very light fantasy touches, which alter the roles of women and men for instance. So now I have decided that I should make my own then because after all, if you want something done right you need to do it yourself, right?
I came up with the following idea, but I'm up for suggestions or even willing to change everything if someone has a way better idea. The Queen of Arlon, a small but stable kingdom or queendom if you will, has recently been exiled from her own castle by her brother, the illegit king Godwin the Free. He has seized control over the country but foolishly allowed the former Queen to keep one of her assets: the castle of Stags' Rest. Because of her surrender once Godwin seized the throne, she was allowed to remain alive. But anyone with eyes and ears still fair can understand her intentions, as news has spread that she has hired the famous Iron Company, a mercenary group whom travel Arlon and deal death and pain for coin. With promises of wealth and power she has transformed them into the Queens Guard, a new order of Knighthood formed to protect and serve the Queen in any way she deems neccesary.
The Queens Guard, or former Iron Company, are not knightly whatsoever, and in order to fit in with these knights, aristocrats and diplomats they will need to adjust themselves. But their primary function will be at the queens castle, or on the battlefield. They number in the fifties, a small company if you will. But this doesn't say anything about the lethality which was the cause of their name spreading further than the borders of even Arlon itself. The Queens Guard isn't picky about who it hires -- women and men are hired alike and with this new funding from the former Queen, they can afford to hire more suitable guards. All that they ask?
Unfaltering loyalty.

So, I'm just posting this to see if there is any interest. If there is, I can elaborate this into an OOC. Please do remember I am always open for suggestions for plots, or even for total turn-arounds of the RP if everyone agrees to it. If there are people that wish to GM this, just contact me, if people wanna co-GM contact me, etc. Above all please have fun.
OOC here!
