Silver and Blood: A Warhammer Roleplay
Warhammer World Map: gitzmansgallery.com/shdmotwow-full.html
Basic Background:
Karak Eight Peaks, also called the City of Pillars, is a place of ceaseless bloody battle. Once a mighty stronghold of the Dwarven race and one of its greatest kingdoms, the city has fallen to hordes of both Greenskin and Skaven defiliers. After years and years of struggle, in which the Dwarfs fought bitterly for every inch of ground lost, the city eventually fell. The underground portion of the Karak, in which lay the majority of the city and its wealth, eventually fell into Skaven hands through the ingenious plotting of the Council of 13, the dreaded governing body of the Under-Empire, who used countless bodies of rat-kin to achieve their eventual victory. While the Skaven control the under-reaches of the City of Pillars, the surface portion is largely controlled by the Greenskins who have seized what they could and defiled the rest of the Dwarfs ancient ancestral home.
The Dwarfs, however, have not yet yielded the city. And with bitter determination, good dwarven steel and shot (along with a few well placed human mercenaries) they vow to reclaim the Karak inch by inch. While their efforts may constantly be thwarted by Skaven and Orc alike, they can at least take comfort in knowing that the two will happily kill each other almost as equally as their own. So far their bloody efforts have yielded little more than a foothold on the surface, but its given the Greenskins pause to consider that perhaps, the ‘stunties’ aren’t quite finished just yet. There’s still a good fight to be had, and they’ll surely relish the chance to clobber some more.
Meanwhile, the Skaven beneath the city continue their insidious scheming. While they may seem the most secure, with the difficulties of breaching the under levels as daunting as it is, they are far from invulnerable. Indeed, Dwarf and Greenskin incursions into their underground stronghold may be the least of their worries, as various Skaven Clans jockey for power over such a valuable prize as the City of Pillars is, and even amongst individual clans: loyalty is a precious commodity in short supply. After all, who best to be the mighty Warlord of the Pillar City but the lone Skaven who is most willing to kill anyone who stands in his way? Fur or no fur.
Characters:
You have the option to choose from various races and groups in the RP. Skaven, Greenskin, Dwarf, and Human being the most likely choices but not necessarily the only. If you can provide a valid, lore-friendly, reason for a character’s inclusion, then it might be permitted. However, you should be prepared to lose your character at any time, and in fact it's encouraged to try out multiple different characters throughout the RP. The idea is that this is a bloody battle unending, and if your character winds up in a situation where they face certain death: then they should.
