This idea has been stewing for a long time now and I wanted to see what all interest there was here to work it out with people. I have lots of information on it already and lots of places for characters thus far. I thought it would fit in the casual section better so here it is.

Power is something that most hunger. Money and strength, soldiers to serve them and beautiful princesses to marry. They want the Throne. In a old world, long forgotten now and fading away from ancient magic that has no been soon for so very long, it is here that our story takes place. A King sits upon his death bed, his two sons and daughter clinging to their protective mother, none yet old enough to rule. Four great houses below them hold the four corners of the world; North, South, West, East. From there four families each. Each completes for power, hope, magic and family. Love, hate, war, peace. For the last two hundred years the kingdom has been nothing but peaceful but spiders lurk in the shadows, watching and waiting for the perfect time to put their pawns into power.

Nobody, yet everyone, can and cannot be trusted. Will you win; or will you die?

Inspired by multiple works of fiction, including Game of Thrones, Eragon and Hobbit. I hope that you find it interesting as I do. Ask whatever you like before joining :)

Seems really interesting. My question is that there are loads of houses, does there need to be a full set in each house or are people allowed to choose different characters from different houses

@Classified
You can make as many characters from as many different houses as you like. As well as characters unrelated to the houses. There's also a Council of nine in the works atm that assists the king.

No interest eh?

I'm interested in this, yes.

Cool so we have two people :) We'll need more to make the plot go though :/

*sighs* Anyone there?

COOL! I'm in.

?some of the listed people are missing their ages?

Sorry if I didn't make it clear, but I'm interested too

@Emma

Yeah I know. I hadn't gotten around to editing some of the ages and adding some lol

@Classified

I understood, I was just assuming there wouldn't be enough to really get up and go. but if you guys are fine with three players then I don't mind starting it and getting the OOC up with some info and stuff.

@McHaggis

Yeah or you can play a character not listed at all. I only put up nobles and such.

OOC is up guys!
