Over a hundred years ago a grand war was raged, so fierce it is still know as "The Great War" thousands died over a decade of warfare. The combatants the very forces of good and evil itself. At the head of the forces of good, The Paladins, the self-appointed defenders of what is right and the law against a confederation of every dark force that could be rallied together. For this bloody decade an entire continent was on fire, it was not until the eighth year that a winner seemed to be closed, the Drow seized Agannalu and broke the back of the gnomes. A civil war in The Grey Peaks came into full swing pulling many dwarves from the fight and the siege of Ironhold was broken when the orcs smashed into the Paladins siege lines. King Korris of the minotaurs began a slash and burn tactic on the moon elves slowly destroying their entire forest to force them to fight head to head. For two desperate years the forces of good tried to hold out but were slowly pushed south until they stood with on foot in the burning sands of the Great Desert. There they were shattered forever and cast into the desert to die a slow death. They did not die though, travelling far the survivors and refugees with them built a new city that would be free from the tyranny of the evil empires and readied to defend against any and all comers.

Meanwhile in the green lands the people who lived there prepared themselves to be slaughtered and destroyed. Instead they found their new rulers little different from the old. In Vektis it is said the name of every temple was changed and every statue was given a new head but little else happened. In Korris the ports which expected themselves to be sacked and burned instead found new trade flowing as the minotaurs controlled the pirates and kept the trade lanes safe. Those of Ubara found the guards of their cities and towns dismissed, changed out for new orcoid infantry who did little more than punish crime with severe measures and collect taxes with equal gusto leaving the humans and other people to otherwise do as they please. Perhaps only in the Drow Lands dd the people recieve most of what they expected, almost all non-Drow were enslaved though here things did change. The Drow knew the foolishness of slaughtering slaves without point and so while not treated well, those that served their masters well found themselves rewarded.

This is the world you now find yourself in, one where evil now rules though perhaps is not like what one would expect.

Interested, Would you be looking for heroes to rise up against the evil or for the rightful victors to explore their hard won world?

I was thinking of a orc/half orc ranger with a wild boar animal companion and the orc double axe for two weapon fighting. As an orc character he does whet he can to keep the peace and ward off any rebels who are still struggling to find their place in the new world order. As a half orc he could have been bullied for decades based on his appearance but now that the orcs have won he finds his heritage puts him in the same position all those now below him once were OR he could still be in the same boat because of his half human heritage makes him unfit to be a true orc so he rides the fence as neither human nor orc doing what he pleases where he pleases since no one will accept him.

Honestly I have no preference on character archetypes for this and that is a pretty cool character concept.

Can i ask a quick question?

Can I use the sneak attack the rogue uses instead of the Ninja's sudden strike? I have a good character idea for the latter, but Sneak Attack beats the crap out of Sudden Strike.

yes, I think that is reasonable, particularly since I think this is looking to be a 3 person group.

Hmm, small group but doable. Almost done my sheet, also going to go with lesser drow template since they have no level adjustment. If a drow character is ok that is.

A Drow character is fine, i have not really looked at sheets yet since I have been slightly busy and been unable to look through the crunch on stuff.

Well here's what I have so far. Aliaga Gellantara!

I like how the orc is heavier then the muscle bound minotaur.

So that gives us a half-orc ranger, a minotaur barbarian, and a half-drow ninja. Fallen Muse is working on a character as well.

Also, if I remember right the standard point buy is 25 points so if you roll bad and wish to have something else you may use a 25 point buy instead.

Ya, I could switch to a drow priestess if we need a healer and at least some spellcasting.

Now that the site is back up, I will post my character sheet below. I am wrapping up the back story, so that will be ready to go.

Omega, in chat you said the first group of dwarves were poor and driven from their homeland. Which location was that?
