This is my first time GMing so bear with me. If anything needs to be added let me know I'm still working on defining everything about the story this is just what i have for now.
Its sort of similar to the Fullmetal Alchemist world in the magic aspect but it still needs refining
RP Name: Depths of Jantur
Setting: Empire of Iman (see General Map) Mappp! Unfinished!
The basis of this story goes as thus: Our Empire is in shambles, the Emperor is somewhere high in his fort watching the chaos unfold in front of him like a chess match, as if calculating his next move. War has befallen his people, and the threats he has faced in the past are nothing compared to the fear the people of his beautiful empire will feel in only a few short weeks. He fears what will become of his beloved people. His whole life he's strove toward peace and prosperity that this country deserved for far to long, he wanted to be a better ruler than his father was ever.
Emperor's POV: Emperor Donavis sat in his empty thrown room in Capital contemplating what to do about recent events, the Kingdom of Suris was gaining influence within his own council. The war had spread faster than he had ever expected. King Sulan and his army of some of the best Drawers in the world had taken Panus and Drakos within the first few days of the War. In his grandfathers time, Drawers had been a powerful asset to the empire of Iman, though as time progressed more and more people began to sway to the side of the Kingdom of Suris. In his last attempt to free his people and claim what was always his, the Emperor called together a team of the best Drafters still loyal to the Empire and they began forging artifacts for the art of war.
King Suris POV: As a boy king Suris watched as his people starved, and died in the streets. Free willed, intelligent people couldn't scrap enough together to feed themselves let alone there children. He would look up to his father and ask him on days when the people where suffering the most, 'What is this all for? Why do they endure this?' and his father would look at him with such passion and simply smile, giving him a little pat on the shoulder with his rough warrior hands. One day after many years, the king after he had come home from a long campaign, he found the boy refusing to eat his diner, the king would ask 'What is it that has my Prince so down? Why will you not eat my boy?' and the prince looked his father and said 'I will not eat while they die in the streets!' His father laughed a deep genuine laugh 'The fire in this boy!' he said looking to his head of military Chek. 'Im going to answer the question you asked me as a child after your mother died and we would walk together in her gardens down in the city.' he said a tear nearly welling in his eye. 'They die for there freedom, because they know that here they can be who they want to be, live the life's they want to live.' After that Suris stormed out of the room. Those were the last words he ever heard from his father.
King Suris is 19 now, a young king, he gathers together the best Drawers in the world and wages his first war, against the Emperor. When he hears news of the Emperors new weapons he gathers a team together himself and begins creating weapons for war on a mass scale.
What side do you chose? Fight along side the King and free the world from its captors? Or work with the Emperor to unite the people once again. The choice is yours.
Magic System: The Magic's name in this RP is Jantur, its a science of using runes to do many things from farming to war. The only limitations I want to have on Jantur is that all energy comes from somewhere. So if you want to cast a fire ball you'd have to use something to fuel the flame of that fireball, or if you wanted to imprison someone in stone you might loose half of the stone just moving the rock. Anything goes if you can figure out a way to disassemble something and make it into something else its fair game. Also body modification is possible the only side affect is your left like that for good, there's no transformation (except for those working with King Suris and even then your whole body will be covered in runes, something your not likely to survive). Chimeras are present on the Emperors side, though mostly in animal form and a few human animal hybrids, these more often than not turn out to be mindless blood thirsty beasts. If I need to refine the Magic System some more please let me know.
Creatures and Races: Chimera are fighting for the Emperor so if you want to go that route you got to fight for the big bad wolf( he aint all that bad ;)). And as far as races go id say in terms of populace this is how it would go. Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Dark Elf, Etc. If anyone would like to add another race just let me know, and so far the Halflings are actually the best when it comes to Drawing, they have a knack for ignoring the law of fueling your magic, though its only that case with metals, they seem to absorb some of the energy for there magic off the metal. All races cant do this from one degree to another but Halflings are the best at it.
