Story
It is the age of innovation in the land of Maltha, and the dawn of a new century. The 4th Shield War has ended, and many of Maltha's nations are still recovering from the conflict. One such nation is the Trade Republic of Bresiroth, who had tried to remain neutral during the many wars of the last century, but suffered nonetheless due to the aggressiveness of its neighbours. Bresiroth's new Stadtholder and Head-of-State, Sir Miles de Geld, has expressed a passionate interest in colonising the recently discovered western megacontinent known as Kasum. The first colony of Bayheath was successfully established last year, but four months ago, the colony had failed to write home about its status and needs. Another month passed, and in response, a fleet of explorers was sent to investigate the silence. What they found shocked the people of Bresiroth: the colony had been attacked, its buildings burnt, its citizens slaughtered, and its fields salted. Rather than giving up on the new continent, Sir Miles has sent another fleet of colonists, but this time, with an army of mercenaries to fend off whatever foe might dare contest his will.
For one reason or another, you're part of this new colonial venture, signed on as one of the valiant fighters here to protect the men and women of New Bayheath. Unknown to you and your comrades is the ancient power that lies at the heart of this land. Be prepared, for in the shadows of this unexplored world lurk ancient forces prepared to stamp out whatever invaders dare encroach on these ancient territories.
Information
This roleplay takes place in a low-fantasy world where magic is rare and monsters are the stuff of legend, not sure yet if I want to include other fantasy races like orcs, elves, dwarves, etc. The players would be tasked with performing various tasks with and for the NPCs to grow New Bayheath, while additionally fighting off waves of attackers from the dense jungle. I would be controlling all of the enemy characters and colonists, while the players would act independently. Player death is possible, and encouraged if you're in an inescapable situation.
That's all for now, leave a reply if you think you'd be interested in this sort of roleplay, or have any questions.
