LEGACY
"It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it."






For years the Old World found itself in a period of relative peace, but something stirs beyond the walls of civilization. From the great forests of the lands, the Beastmen seek to reclaim their ancient ancestral grounds from the races who stole it from them, their small raids becoming ever fiercer and larger. From the east, a new horde of Greenskins pour over the World's End Mountains, their bloodlust and warmongering unparalleled. From the north, the savage Norscan tribes with their unholy pagan gods are only becoming more and more dangerous as the bitter cold winds speak of great, horrific rituals they carry out for their gods now try to summon something. From the south, the living bones of a long dead empire reawakens, with them they carry the reclamation of their vast empire with legions of warriors that now serve them in death as they had in life.

War is coming. A great, eternal war.

This was a story of how people held firm in these dark times chasing after a glimmering beacon of hope. This was a story of how soldiers faced perilous odds but held brave in front of death. This was a tale of how leaders faced both bitter defeat and glorious victory. The battles would be legendary on a scale rarely ever seen before as would the hardships of war on the people. But from them would be forged the greatest of heroes and villains.

This was their story.

This was their Legacy.





Welcome to the world of Salvus, one right on the edge of inevitable all out war. Inspired heavily by Warhammer Fantasy as well as some other fantasy universes, this NRP will be focused on a part of NRPs that we all love but never really get a chance to do, war. Yes, the main focus of this RP isn't diplomacy or expansion or whatever, its just war. That said, there are three things I am going to heavily stress:

1 - You cannot "win", there is no victory and nations/races cannot be completely destroyed without their creator's approval first. This may be a war-based NRP, but its to create something more of a story and also letting people release their desire to write epic battles and just generally have bloody fun.

2 - While the main focus of the RP is good old fashioned killing with some grimdark mixed in, this isn't a nothing but slaughter edgefest. Even in times of great despair, people usually find something normal to do or to be happy about and your posts can relate to things outside of war such as rituals or just about normal civilians who aren't directly in the front lines.

3 - Rule of Cool is definitely in play here but I still do encourage some bit of reason and realism. Most armies aren't made up of only heavily armored knights in real life and they shouldn't be in here. Besides, that's a terrible tactical choice anyways. I'm not going to allow you to have magical nukes or for every single one of your soldiers to carry Unholy Flaming Bastard Swords of Brutal Skullfucking +99.


Because I don't know where to put this otherwise, here's the military crunchy bits which know are confusing. Trust me it was hard enough trying to write it out while knowing what was going on.



NS guide that will certainly be edited, revised and explained more than once:



An explanation of how victories can be negotiated/drawn up, curtsey of @RisenDead the coGM.



Current claims also map curtsey of RisenDead.








Are you ready to forge a legacy in an age of war?

Probably should have mentioned this before, but all you really need is your unit roster if you want to go IC (when I open that up soon™) and you're playing as a pre-exisiting Warhammer race that isn't dramatically changing what the race is about.

Hmm, does giving my Orruks two genders count as dramatically changing them?

@LauderHmm...
Might be best just to post what you have here. Ain't like the IC is going to open up any time soon until more people trickle in if they stayed.

Just to make everyone clear of my intentions, the Fallen Elves are NOT Dark elves. Rather they are WoW blood Elves with an even more focus on dominion over everything like nature and locals. I'll make my lord soon.

You still accepting apps? I may make a Tzeentch-Cult focused Chaos faction, or perhaps Skaven, I haven't decided yet.

The RP is Warhammaner-inspired but not a Warhammer RP itself. The biggest difference is that there are no Chaos gods, all the crazy vikings up north are just balls crazy motherfucking murderfucking vikings and not Chaos balls crazy motherfucking murderfucking vikings. You're still more than welcome to try for a Tzeentch-like god and a faction following it but that would require some more explaining.

A Skaven faction would be more straight forward in this case, just change some names and maybe some other bits and you should be good to go. Still going to be doing that whole underground empire thing though?

I may, it would probably make some sense. I already have plans for making the Skaven "not exactly-Skaven" in a sense. I think they'll be easier to make than a Chaos-like faction, plus I've never really tried playing as them, so it could be interesting. I'll see about an app here.
