"Ten years ago... Ten, long years ago, the princess of legend banished the tyrannical Gods, forever fulfilling a one thousand year old destiny. I was with her that day, for the somber celebrations... In a way, we all knew that such a victory in the name of freedom would come at a high price.

To the north, the once-upon-a-time slave state superpower now has to contend with a significant goblin revolt, led by one of Kouri's compatriots. At the same time it is also fighting the revival of an ancient Imperium, trying to spread to retake its homeland... Between the two, we cannot depend on the Free Holds to stop the inevitable invasion.

Across the sea of blood, in our own lands, once proud and united under the banner of Father and the Mother, our two gods, must now face a civil war. The Papacy, refusing to step down after their right to authority became void, holds the capital. We of the Templar Order are doing our best to restore a proper rulership over the people, and yet, some of those people and even some of the younger members of our order have defected to a third faction, eager to form some kind of... Republic. Either way, the once stalwart armies of millions of united crusaders, are shattered in war.

Even to the south, the revived kingdom of Renalta, bringing in hundreds of thousands of refugees and immigrants all praising the Queens who brought them liberty and freedom have but a limited military and no real authority over the rest of the nations of the world, though their attempts to unite us all are admirable, they are ultimately futile.

... Yet, even in that futility, there is a certain hope, as word spreads of cults springing out of hiding, sacrificing people to summon demons and create gateways to the nine hells... Even I have seen some of my own lieutenants, once stalwart and honest, succumbing to some... Strange form of corruption that makes them, vapid, obedient to a force that strips them of their humanity.

...By the Gods Kouri, if you have a plan, no matter how foolish... I really hope you enact it soon. Or there won't be a world left for Rheinfeld to live in by the time this war is over.

May the Gods, banished as they are, watch over us all."


--Templar Order leader Taigyn, issuing an emergency statement by courier to the royalty of Renalta.

Welcome one, welcome all, to Legend of Renalta's sequel interest check! This story starts ten years after the original, on the verge of an invasion from the nine hells the world has broken out into civil wars, revolutions, and worse. Seeing the threat posed to not just her own kingdom but the entirety of the mortal realm, Queen Kouri of Renalta gathers as many heroes, villains, and mercenaries together as she can, from peasants to soldiers to mages to gunslingers to alchemists and more.

In this role play you will start out just above the average in terms of power, and quickly grow from there. Gaining favours with the nobility, recruiting allies, forming alliances, empowering yourself or gaining command over soldiers, mercenaries, specialists and more... To be a professional assassin, a duelist with a sharp tongue, a magnificent magician, or a brave warrior... All of these, and more, are possible paths to take for you and your characters.

If saving a world rich with history, colourful characters, a large boiling pot of cultures, supernatural beings, vampires, werewolves, magic, and more, all the while gathering armies, artifacts, powerful spells, forging alliances, and of course fighting against the literal incarnation of hell itself are your cup of tea, then please, do come and stay for a while. Your every choice will have consequences. The fate of the world literally rests in your hands. Will you come and save it?

Ask as many questions as you like and I'll try to answer them, or just state your general interest to let me know that you'll be joining in the adventure.

This role play even has a world map for you to peruse to get a sense of the scale.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoyed every word of it!

I'm interested. Never took part in the first LoR, but I presume that's not going to be a major issue since you're apparently looking for interest from all sorts rather than just veterans.

Mm. I'll express interest for this - I think I have a character idea. We'll see if it turns into something more than a seed.

Don't worry, even if you have some trouble at first, those more familiar will likely be all too happy to provide help where they can til you can find your feet. :3

Ah, been there. I've reworked a lot of character ideas in the past. In fact, not one but two of my surviving characters from the first game started as just loose ideas written into a CS. I had no purpose for them at all until later in the story. : P

However, I must warn, there is a trait-point system to balance the game in place. It is not currently placed up, as I'm sure that will be placed into the OOC when it has been posted. This is, largely, to keep anyone person from being too powerful starting out and encourage growth throughout the story-experience.
