HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN:
In a world where blue blood is power, where one man is a seed that grows into a powerful dynasty, there is a land desperately grasping for greatness. A land small in size but grand in ambition. A land of grandeur, culture and progress but also of death, destruction and greed. Where knowledge is power and money is method.
Welcome to Duchy of Manburg and House of the Rising Sun Roleplay!
Setting:
You are in control of a noble family in the Duchy of Manburg located in the lands of what was once known as Duchy of Austria. The Austrian Duchy fractured into several smaller states after a long civil war that started off as a power struggle between sons of a deceased duke and ended with separatist movements of the strong noble families, one of which were the von Rittenbergs, your monarchs.
You are in control of up to 15 family members (both male and female) of your royal house that were awarded lands in the duchy. The duchy is divided into four counties and land directly under the Duke. With your family finally on the radar of medieval politics, you are soon to find that nobility is not all milk and honey. You find yourself in a society where the conniving and power hungry thrive and where true friends are as rare as medieval hygiene.
Your goal is to further your family in the social hierarchy possibly even aiming at the throne itself. May it be through honor and justice or belligerence and manipulation, it is completely up to you. Fighting other noble houses for power in the realm is nothing foreign to the lands of Manburg. But you better be careful when you do it. The rulers do not appreciate their manpower being wasted on internal disputes.
Information:
These are mostly technicalities to serve you as basic information on the game and the medieval way of life to keep things realistic.
Troop Tree:
These are just rough guidelines of troops you could find in a medieval army, though if you believe something is left out you are free to implement it. Knowing these various troops will come in handy when describing battles, etc. More troops will be implemented later (cannons and such).
Maps:
Maps will be updated accordingly as the game progresses.
Application form:
The application form should contain Family name (preferably German with prefix 'von' or 'zu', but also Italian, Hungarian, Czech or maybe even French is acceptable), family history and family tree. Coat of arms is most welcome but not necessary. I will post mine in the OC section for everyone to see what it should look like.
SUGGESTION: I personally found it a lot easier to make a family tree first and then develop a family history using the family tree as guidance.
