To Whom It May Concern:
As you know, the year is 20XX.
Unknown to most historians, and sadly most of the world, magic is not a myth. Recorded accounts and whatever the hell they stuck in those history books of yours did a good job of disguising the impact of magic upon human history, but it doesn’t prove the whole “wizard and witches are myths” idea.
Now, that was not entirely the fault of historians, because they had been fed facts and sciences that would suggest that just about any living creature in the world held not a single ounce magical ability within their bodies. Such a thing is due to the great finder of our magical order, who made it a point to keep magic and science separate.
Of course, you might be asking that if magic exists in this world, does that happen to extend to the paranormal and other such mysteries? Well, to excite a small percentage of you, magical creatures do exist in this world. All the ghost, monster, and fantastic tales you have heard are most definitely true, and you’re just going to have to accept that – especially when magician relations with such creature can be rather rocky at times.
But, that’s not the truly important part. All that is just history.
Now, in regards to why I am sending out this notice, well, I am in need of people who are interested in forming a covenant with me. Now, for those of you who did not grow up with a magical background, a covenant is something of a home for us wizards, a sanctuary where we can research and experiment in our labs, and have our little goblin and kobold buddies to bring us our meals in silver trays! I don’t believe in slavery personally, but people seem to think we regard such creatures as members of such a foul institution.
Nonsense. These magical buddies get paid a fine salary for their work.
Regardless, I acquired a nice, cozy place for us to return to from our journeys through the various mazes of modern science and crime, but I need companions. Not to say that I’m a lonely man, but to be honest, I am! I have seven assistants, so to speak, but only half of them speak English, and half of that English-speaking number isn’t even human!
Anyways, that is my situation, so I would really appreciate it if any mage, educated or not, in want of a covenant come by my place and possibly consider joining. We’re just a simple covenant experiencing the spring of life, and I certainly don’t want to force you to choose us over a more established autumn covenant or something like that, but I would most definitely appreciate at least being a candidate.
I mean, all of us are descendants of the different houses of the Order, so we’re basically family. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to use magic.
And for the, um, mages out there who are unaware of their powers, I suppose I can send out people to go look for you and bring you here. You’re definitely safer in this house than out there in the world without a friend.
Yours truly,
Lord [Redacted].
Premise
For the general plot of the RP, its basically characters who'll be playing as mages who have been invited into a new covenant. The focus of the story will be the development of the covenant, but the means through which this would be achieved, will be varied. It would depend on what the players prefers to do.
From their on, bits and pieces of what the magical world actually is will be revealed to everyone; so in a way, we'll be having a bit of world building. Possible plots that you have strive for would be improving one's magical capabilities, garnering a reputation in the magical world, attempting to settle in the new life given to you, become some sort of a hero, take on odd jobs, et cetera. Given the premise, we can basically go for almost anything.
For now, I just wanted to find out if anyone would be interested enough to join me in this idea.
