"Hear all citizens! King Gonagas, the Lord of this land and the Defender of the people, has sent out a decree to all cities, towns and villages; to all who are now living within the boundaries of the Kingdom. Hear the words of your King!
"From King Mikill Gonagas to all ready and able who are willing to take up arms in defence of the Realm,
"'The Kingdom is facing a threat from the surrounding countries and the lands round about it which requires immediate action. To protect the freedom of the people, I, the King, will send a dispatch of the Royal Guard joined with all the volunteers who are given a rank in the Guard, on a pre-emptive quest to strengthen the position of the Kingdom and our ability to defend it.
Report at the gates of Helsset, the City of the King, before the harvest season begins.
May the hand of The Guardian be over us all.'"
This was the tidings the messenger came with. You are a person of remarkable skill and talent in your art be it swordsmanship, controlling the supernatural and the elements, stealth, alchemy or anything else. Regardless of the questions and doubts the strange and unexpected open call aroused, you answered and left for Helsset. Whether it was glory or adventure, title or rank, revenge or revolution. You had your reasons.
You met a group of other volunteers in the previous village you traveled through, the village of Giron - the last at least somewhat politically meaningful village on this streak before arriving to Helsset. Since Giron, you have been traveling together as a party. That was three days ago.

This is the premise for the game. The actual game that I have written begins when the players arrive to Aanaar Field on the shores of Lake Guhkki. The events of the game take place in and around Avveel (a small town on the way to Helsset). There will be two main tasks (a search and a rescue mission both with the possibility of failure) and some free (though somwhat limited) roaming.
I have a fair amount of solid lore written of the world of Idumea that I can share for character creation and narrative reference. I won't be taking part as a player. I will focus only on GM, environment and NPC roles. Exact details we can talk through in the OOC.
Questions? Concerns? Yays or Nays?
