Ok, so, apart from the setting, what's your driving motivation for the story? What's the theme?Is it an Adventure? I'm asking that first because I'm almost certain that's what it is. Presuming it is, what's the focus? Over the top combat where heroes slice open heads by the dozen, unleashing landscape altering spells? Gritty realism where down to earth characters try to survive using their wits and the environment to beat superior forces? Avoiding combat entirely by diplomatic and stealthy means? Will travel to exotic lands be important, or will trouble come to us as we centralize around an important location?These are questions that I think have meaning, but are currently not addressed.

I have a few ideas. Most just passing fancies but I will let you in on one of them.

The mythical races ruled the world. From the Isles of the Merfolk, to the grassy plains of the Elvish, and finally to the tops and depths of the northern mountains of the Dwarven Alliance. It was a time of peace in a chaotic world. The races and their individual deities worked their differences out through diplomacy and economical means and the world was in harmony. Though, like every story, It wasn't meant to last forever. Soon the drums of war beat and the mechanics of hatred spurred once more to life. The tribes marched on each other, waging wars across the lands for fifty years. Rivers ran red with blood and the grounds were littered with bodies and weapons of 13 different races. In the midst of this chaos a single city rose in the ashes. "Termina" it is called. A city built on the idea of peace in a war torn age. It is a zone where all races can sift through their differences and make a living not centered through war.

Where are you? the choice is yours.

I'd be interested in a classic fantasy roleplay, but just dumping players into a neutral ground city with no restrictions or common purpose seems...doomed, frankly.
