Heroes from all walks of life banded together under one common goal. The greatest threat the world of Deilia has ever seen defeated and sealed away by the merry band of unlikely heroes, but at a terrible cost. The brave leader of this group sacrificed herself to ensure the safety of not only her companions, but the world itself. Her name was Octavia Ravenwood although very little was known about her, anyone who had the honor of meeting her will tell you she was something out of a fairytale. Benevolent, valiant, selfless, these were just some of the words those lucky enough to meet her would use.
Before her untimely death and their disbanding, they were quite formidable group amassing quite the reputation as they ventured far and wide. They've hunted demons, destroyed evil cults, felled vicious beasts, made peace with dragons, ended decades long feuds and united kingdoms, and even revolutionized the way we use magic, yet none of their achievements come close to defeating the ancient eldritch dragon who almost destroyed the world. Coming from seemingly humble beginnings, these legendary heroes are known and celebrated throughout this land and many more. Their accomplishments remembered through embellished tales and misconstrued stories around taverns, through story tellers, and in various libraries throughout the land.
Our heroes had gotten their start in the city state of Bradena as sellswords. From the stories that we've been told, Octavia had been looking for work and what was supposed to be an ordinary job turned into a crazed eldritch beast running rampant. Along with who would turn out to be the first member of the company, they defeated the beast and this was just one of their many feats. There were many adventures to be had in Bradena for them and as their reputation grew they would soon leave the city they had gotten their start in.
Their most notable accomplishment was bringing an end to a long conflict with the dragons. The peace that would ultimately bring dragon and the other races together after the eldritch dragon's display of power by razing a the city of Pherora where it would make the city its den and eventually comsume half the country of Trai Spia. For those who need a memory refresher, the people of Trai Spia shared their country with the dragons and while the dragons and residents were not exactly on the best of terms before the dragon showed up, they left each other alone. Things would ultimately come to a head when their fragile agreement to share the land was broken with the razing of Pherora. The citizens blamed the dragons for the eldritch's appearance and even accused them of helping the eldritch. The heroes arrived and brought an end to the conflict after months of tension and fallouts on both sides. How they did it is still a mystery to this day.
Their battle against the dragon would be their last as it saw the death of their team member and spelled the end for their company. After amassing an army through its corruptive influence, the eldritch had the power to bring the entire world to its knees, but it wouldn't go without a fight. The heroes with the help of the many kingdoms that had united under one banner fought the dragon and its army to the last and as the soldiers held the eldritch's army at bay, the heroes battled the dragon. It was a hard fought battle but the day was won and the dragon was defeated. The heroes battered and exhausted carried their fallen comrade away from the last battleground she would ever see and brought her back to the city where it all started. After saying their goodbyes, she was buried in Bradena with her sword and shield on her grave should she ever have need of them.
Several years had passed since the that epic battle and the various cities and countries had rebuilt never forgetting what the heroes had done for them and the sacrifice they all made that day. But what happened to the heroes after everything was all said and done, why did they disband, and where are they now. This tale chaser aims to find out.

Hello friends! Sorry for the lengthy and slightly confusing read. If you've read this far, then I'll take it you're interested and if you're wondering why this reads like a magazine article, that's because it is supposed to. I made that way to give really drive home the fact that the big adventure (or so our heroes thought) is done. This will take place several years after the defeat of the big bad and have us taking control of our characters living the life of a.....well, a hero. Their reputation, powerful skill and abilities (magic or otherwise), and what they've done with it all will be acted out by our characters. If this gets interest, we will start by being approached by a mysterious "reporter" looking to hear each of our tales and various adventures together as a group and we will be later brought back together by a rumor that an old enemy has broken free of its seal and returned to life. I'm looking for about five or six people and I will most likely max out at eight. I'm doing this rp while going to school, so I wont be expecting a post every day, nor will I be able to do that myself. That being said, I would hopefully like to get people to post once every one to two weeks. If you can't wait that long, you can post sooner, jsut try not to get too ahead. Post length does not matter to me, it's all about quality, just as long as you aren't doing one-liners we won't have a problem. If you're interested great, drop a notice and start on your character, oh and as for classes and races, it will be DnD/final fantasy style. Orcs, elves, dwarfs, humans and the like along with your standard barbarians, paladins, black mages, white mages and the like (NO GUNS, don't ask).
