This is a new thread for the roleplay formerly(Rather originally, I might add) known as Fire Emblem RP. Due to some complications with the original GM abandoning the interest check and then myself being selected as the new GM, I had no control over the opening post of the OOC and thus this one was created to allow for a more clean and organized introductory post.
Without further ado, here's the information that is required to join this RP
Backstory(Always Evolving):
Kayech Del Vinsenia took the throne of Vinsenia about five months ago when he was able to make the Blade of Kings glow. Since then he has marched on every other nation in the Vale, annexing them one after another. Caldegia was the first to fall, giving much-needed flying support to the slow-moving knights and archers of Vinsenia. Next to fall was Del Monray, followed by the Free State of Del Monray that had split off in a civil war a generation or two ago. Now the Vinsenian forces march on Belinni, the last free nation of the Vale. The border town of Charten, on the edge of Belinni, has hired the Carthul Mercenaries as added protection. Bandit activity has been on the rise lately in Belinni, as the Vinsenian army's sweeping march under the direct command of General Issac flushes them out of their old hideouts in the mountains.

List of Nations(Update in Progress):
Vinsenia: Originally one of five smaller than average countries located in in close proximity of each other, all of them in a very mountainous region of the near the mid west of the continent. It is located in an area especially rich with metals, mostly iron and silver, which are used to arm the exceptionally defensive forces that are stationed in the forts and castle that mark the edges of Vinsenian territory. Most of the working class are merchants and metalworkers, importing much of their foodstuff from their more agricultural neighbors. Until recently, the kingdom had almost no impact in any of the continent's affairs.
Vinsenia's army usually consisted of a large array of heavily armored infantry and archers, with horses being rather useless in the mountains. Spellcasters like mages were considered a rarity and usually were kept in the king's personal guard. Healers, however, while uncommon, were deployed with the standing army.
However, with the ascent of the new king and the absorption of the surrounding nations, the new army has swelled immensely. The largest part and standing force are still the heavy infantry and archers, but the acquisition of new commanders and forces have added a large number of horsemen(Mostly Cavaliers->Great Knights), quite a few fliers(with the vast majority being Wyvern riders), and quite a few addtional forces from various sources(Mages, Fighters, Mercenaries, and Myrmidons)
The usual emblem of a Vinsenian force is a stylized dragon coiling around a sword that points down, painted in white on black.
Other information about Vinsenia: Silver Dragon Knights are an elite unit of the heavy infantry.
The dragon motif is most likely due to the rumor that manaketes or Dragon Laguz once made their home in the mountains.
One of the only two countries in the mountains that holds a legendary item(That is known publicly): The Blade of Kings.
Other Nation Information:
Countries in the "Vale" of the Old Mountains(The group of five countries that populate the mountains where Vinsenia lies)((This place is also hella rainy, being close to both the coast and high in the mountains))
-Vinsenia, rich with metal and defensive units, like knights and archers, has the new king that's conquering the rest of the Vale
-Caldegia, a hilly land in the mountains that uses fliers as it's main troops, is both neighbors with Vinsenia and was the first country to fall to the conquest of the Vinenian king
-Del Monray, a country that just lost have its lands during a civil war fifty years in the past, holds the royal family and the legendary item of the Del Monrays. Conquered by the Vinsenians
-The Free State of Del Monray, the other half of Del Monray, ruled by a noble family. Conquered by the the Vinsenians.
-Belinni, the state that holds the entrance to the Old Mountains. Where the mercs have been hired, A land rich with horses and calvery, also the richest land in the Vale. Is the trade center of the Old Mountains, and where most of the food and cargo comes from. Being marched on by the Vinsenian army and fleeing soliders
Countries outside the Vale:
-Galemoor, to the south, a large state that borders the ocean, complete with a stupendous amount of sailors and fishermen. Usually armed to the teeth and fast talkers, with the military being made up of a combination of cavalry and reformed bandits.
-Del Stalliga, to the south. A city-state in the style of the countries inside the Vale, the small country is located between the giant Stugmarr and Galemoor, providing a buffer between the two that is welcomed by many. Uses light cavalry as a mainstay of the troops.
-Stugmarr, to the south-east, a giant country that has been present since the Vale's founding. Is in a constant cold war with The Empire of Rak'Thurr
-Fellhark, to the north. A harsh and rainy land that covers the cliffs to the north of the Vale, filled with the barest minimum of a goverment and controlled by a variety of hardy tribes.
-The Empire of Rak'Thurr, to the north-east. Another giant that controls the rich plains above the Vale, is in a constant cold war with Stugmarr. Is exceptionally racist against anything that isn't Beorc.
