The seeds of the Glasic Fields near the edge of the Arrowfell province, a source of power in the form of small crystals. Anyone who holds one could have the ability to transmute iron to gold, cure illnesses, and create magical feats once thought impossible. Most seeds are little good except as a good luck charm. But some — some, the especially rare ones — can change a common person into a noble and create enough wealth to satisfy a middle-class family for generations.
The Wizard Queen of Arrowfell, in her quest for power, has been trying to control these fields since her violent ascension to the throne two years ago. However, her efforts have been repeatedly thwarted by an enigmatic figure, disrupting her court and causing suspicion to fall on the Duke of [insert name], a small hold within the Arrowfell province that has been neglecting its fealty and tax obligations to the Queen for several months.
Many of the commonfolk are unsatisfied with the corrupt Queen, and more and more support is being shown to this duke. The stage is being set for a civil uprising as, within the court, sides are chosen. The side of the Queen, or the side of rebellion.
Hey! I’ve been playing with a King of the Hill type RP game where you are either a part of the Queen’s court as a duke or duchess, or a part of the rebelling duke’s court. This is loosely inspired by Skyrim, mainly on the magic system and factions, but liberties will be taken, such as making custom spells for your character. You can lead as a single entity, but I would suggest also leading a faction, and creating NPC sheets for those who will go out and do your ‘dirty’ work. Factions I’m already thinking of include the Thieves Guild and the Nightingales.
I’d be playing the role of the corrupt Queen. Besides that, the roles are pretty open.
This is all about dirty politics, political moves, and backstabbing each other in the pursuit of power.
