[u]An Introduction[/u]
Welcome, to Trameria. A land filled with mystery, adventure and of course, treasure. In the past Trameria has seen both heroes and villains rise and fall, all of them forming large stashes of gold and even some magical items. However years of passing down stories has led to large vaults of treasure being lost in the sands of time. Now many of the current leaders are former adventurers who made their fortune and power from looting the stashes of heroes gone by. Rask is the leader of one of the newest Adventuring Companies, and you, are his first recruits. You come from all across Trameria, however for one reason or another you have ended up in the East of the Empire of Civitas.

[u]The World[/u]

[hider=The Empire of Civitas]The Empire of Civitas stretches over most of the western quarter the Trameria. Civitas is an empire that is on it's way out. Years of expansion and conquest led to a great many riches, however the other nations bound together to halt its advance. As such the Empire has fairly frosty relations with most other nations, especially the Gothi Federation which suffered at the hand of a number of massacres. The Empire is rife with corruption, and whilst on the surface it appears incredibly Holy, however this is not the case in truth. The empire is similar in style to that of the Roman Empire, in regards to naming and structure. Gothic-Maxima is found on the small border that the Empire shares with the Gothi Federation.[/hider]

[hider=The Gothi Federation]The Gothi Federation is the union of multiple Gothi tribes. Famed for their barbaric ferocity the Gothi are not trusting of many people. However those they do rust boon from access to some of the finest pelts and timber that the north produces. The Federation is made up of a government of representatives from each tribe who then elect a High King who takes control during times of war.[/hider]

[hider=Midcy'ru]Midcy'ru is the cultural home of the elves. These elegant people live in beautiful and illustrious home. However they are a small group in truth, barely a quarter of the population of Civitas despite a similar size in land. The elves have long been the most adept at using magic and Midcy'ru is home to a number of enchanted ruins and caves. The elves are led by a Great Mother who rules from her forest fortress in the center of the nation. For elves family is very important and so clan history is a must know.[/hider]  

[hider=The Trattican Empire]The Tratticans are an old family that hails from Civitas.However around 170 years ago there was an internal power struggle and the family left with around half of the Imperial army and created this new nation. At first they tried to take lands from the elves, but after a number of smaller skirmishes they were forced further east and instead annexed some of the freeholds in the east. Since then, with the help of the elves, they expanded north and invaded large swathes of the dwarven lands.[/hider]  

[hider=The Plains]The plains are a free ground here. A land not taken by anyone but whose sovereignty is protected by all. This is a haven for criminals and big business alike. It is controlled by a number of small lords and barons, all of whom govern and police their little patch of land.[/hider]

[hider=Pinnor]Pinnor is the last remaining mountain home of the dwarves. After years of retreat the dwarves have finally created a strong line of defence against the humans in the Trattican. These dwarves are very proud people and pride themselves on the riches that flow from their mountains. They truly are the masters of craft and mining. THey also have a small fighting force of elite soldiers, however not nearly the number the humans do. Most believe it is only a matter of time until these dwarves are killed off.[/hider]

In regards to magic it is a rarity, however not unheard of and so I am happy for people to use it. But don't everyone have a mage, and don't expect to be throwing meteors around as you will.

[u]Your Story[/u]
From here it is now up to you to make a character to live in this world. You are free to do this as you please however there are a few things to adhere to when creating so that your characters are realistic for the world. ALso, please, make them three dimensional. I don't want any perfect heroes who have a history of saving the world and getting the girl with nothing lost. Your characters are not the best, hell they are signing up with an unknown in a fairly shady neighbourhood. They may once have been big shots, but not anymore. I also require that you be willing to vaguely create and play as NPCs and side characters for the purpose of story. Finally, I am not going to run this like a D and D. Yes i have plots and stories etc. however if you think we could use a twist, throw one in. I am more than welcome of it. So now that is all done, there is a character sheet below. Please post a finished copy in the OOC and if all is well I will give you the all clear to post it in the character tab. If you want some diversity in the group let me tell you now, Rask is an accomplished swordsman and has very minor magic use.
