The world as its people know is tearing itself apart. A vicious and brutal war wages across the continent of Alskyra as the ambitious Dremorian Empire continues to expand its territory. Renegades and bandits prowl the road attempting to take advantage of the chaos. Wild beasts and monster attacks grow in frequency as fewer and fewer soldiers are left to take care of them, leaving the task almost entirely of mercenaries or adventurers. The world itself appears to have gone mad.

Amidst this fighting, a terrible and powerful force is growing in strength in the mountainous lands of Altamea. An ancient evil that once nearly destroyed the world only to be barely defeated by a band of heroes lost to time. No historical records exist until roughly three hundred years after the event. It only exists as a universal legend told among every culture across the world. However, even with the world engulfed in war there remains a place that stands as a true place of peace.

A black castle, larger than any built, sits against a stormy sky only briefly illuminated by flashes of lighting. On top of a cliff it resides, far removed from a world that knows nothing but constant conflict and suffering. Here it stands as a place of refuge, only able to be found by those truly seeking asylum within its walls. A safe haven protected by powerful and ancient magic built by a powerful group that has long ceased to exist. It is guarded by a single individual of remarkable power along with a host of sentient automatons. Anything and everything one could desire is located within its walls so to provide the utmost comfort to those that stay there.

Everyone has their own reason for arriving at the Sanctuary. There are those who are permanent residents of the castle, choosing to spend the rest of their life within its magnificent and every-changing walls. Others come seeking a chance to turn their life around using the knowledge located there. It exists outside of the prejudice and problems of the outside world. Peasant or noble, ex-thief or paladin, it does not matter within the walls of the Sanctuary.

Beyond its primary function as a safe haven, it serves as a place of learning for those wishing to better themselves. Each one of the numerous automatons contains a wealth of knowledge that they will impart on any who are deemed worthy of receiving it. Several stories about legendary warriors and scholars involve the same story about encountering a rough time in their life before encountering a massive black castle. Every account never states the exact location of the castle, as anyone who leave the castle for good are forced to forget its position.

With a legend such as this, it should come as no surprise that there have been individuals who try to claim the knowledge and riches inside for themselves. Those that have attempted to sack the Sanctuary are never heard from again. However much is uncertain in these dangerous times as nations throw their power against each other.

I do like the concept of holding a place of respite, a Bastian against the dark.

Interested.

I like the concept, but I was wondering if there was a plan in mind for whom the antagonists are.

@HeySeussThere are two so far. A militaristic country called the Dremorian Empire and later the army of an ancient and powerful lich. I have another two in the possible works.

@Dragonydas
Sure, just PM me! Now that a few people have shown interest, I will be updating the interest check with much more information.

Regrettably, I need to duck out. I'm committed to other stuff and wouldn't want to be a weak link among your players. But I wish everyone well!

Oh, dark fantasy! This definitely has my attention. And great job on the lore btw. Very comprehensive. Also, are all the "civilized races" playable?

Still game.

I want to play something completely inhuman. The tree people, lizards, and spirits look interesting. Lets see what others play as.

Regardless of what I play, my character will be religious, worshiping the pantheon or devoting themselves to a particular less martial god.

@Glyph

Thanks!

All the races are playable. The only restriction is that a dragon would have to be a young adult
