Hello,
I am looking to continue to expand on my own universe which is the world around Broacien. There is a lot of information about the world posted here, and I am looking to add more to it through the only medium that is acceptable on RPG.. roleplaying.
As it stands there is a lot going on in the universe;
The thousand tribes of the Northern kingdom have finally unified after hundreds of years of primitive tribal lifestyles, with a massive number of nomadic people living here. The king/konungr, Ketill the Hrafn, has managed to do so after an impressive life in which he was a pious holy knight in Broacien (a Servant), a slave in the southern Caliphate (which, at that time, was a sultanate) and a warrior slave for a brief time too. One of his first actions was to slowly unify the tribes and begin the construction of a massive fleet, the likes of which had never before seen on the continent. Using the fleet he sailed south, through the new caliphate, to a newly discovered land called Ye'inyani Mereti -- a land of people whose skin was dark as coal, who lived in extreme riches although isolated from the rest of the world. He raided this place and toppled their golden pyramid, smelting it down and taking it home alongside many thralls from the Ye'inyani Mereti, who now live in the Northern kingdom as thralls (slaves), but also as free men or even well respected warriors.
In Broacien a civil war is looming after the death of king Gregar Balin Grochain, with his two sons Harold and Gregar II vying for control. Harold Carley was given the throne due to being the youngest son, but Gregar II got the lions share of the estates held by the late king, and after the crushing defeat at the hands of the new Khalyfate, which saw the loss of Redsand Castle, the Servants began to rally around Gregar II, who was a far more robust and martial man than his younger brother, Harold, who was more politically powerful. Their three sisters are waiting out the conflict -- having no real horse in the race at the moment.
Both Harold and Gregar are knighting new Servants, with Harold marking his new servants with a single red circular tattoo on the forehead, while Gregar II has had all his loyal servants re-ordained with three circles in a more orange ochre. For those old servants who sided with Gregar (most of them did), the three circles are around the red circle, and they are considered 'veteran knights,' a powerful force that are the elite of the elite. Despite this strength in shock troops, the actual armies of Broacien remain loyal to Harold Carley, and while they are only peasants with spears and leather armor, they make up the bulk of any fighting force. The balance of power remains split evenly, for now.
To the south, the new Khalyfate is dealing with increased religious persecutions. Under the new Caliph, the religious minorities that followed different strains of Sawarism that were previously accepted (and patronized) have been persecuted, with total conversion demanded, or otherwise death. The Khalyf came to power after performing a coup by killing the sultan of old, who he considered to be decadent and borderline heretical. The entire royal family of the Sultanate was killed bar two; Najla and Basim, who escaped with Ketill to the North. Here, the religious minorities of the new Khalyfate might find an ally; one of the two sons of the king has a claim to the throne of the Khalyfate, and it is possible that he might wish to use it and take the land for himself.
A more in depth addition that I am wanting to add to the world is the existence of new places, cultures, settlements, civilizations, etcetera. I am thinking some Aztec/Maya inspired place, alongside perhaps something more inspired by native Americans. Also, European proto-tribes? New continents that can be explored, or where explorers are coming from.
This RP will contain adult themes; warfare, blood, death, adultery, and other dramatic things. It might also include smut, when the scenes call for it. I know, shock and horror, medieval people had SEX? Crazy. To add some additional context to that; smut was also a possibility in the RP that built up most of this, but throughout that entire RP it never really happened; characters that are busy with doing medieval things like war and politics generally do not have a lot of time to be sexing it up everywhere they go. That, too, is crazy. Absolutely bonkers, I know.
Ultimately I am open to any story, character and so forth that you might wish to play. There are a lot of opportunities here and I need to know what exactly you'd want to do. Other than that, reading the thread I linked is obviously a pré.
I look forward to any measure of interest I might get in this.
