[Link for Eithloriel](http://i.imgur.com/NVIzsc2.jpg) The world of Eithloriel is an odd warring place. Many empires and great kingdoms of man, elf, and dwarf have risen and fallen in this dark chaotic land. Each race fighting each other, but joining to fight darker races. Races such as the demons, orcs, undead, and other dark things that crawl towards you in your darkest nightmares. Though this seems to be a peaceful time between all races, and many great powers have, in a way, put their weapons away. Though a coming storm may put an end to this almost uneasy peace in the lands. Bringing war with fire and brimstone upon any how stand underneath, like hellfire across the lands once more. The mercenary captain that spins this tale takes a swig of ale, "though that wouldn't be a bad thing for us that is. Plenty of money to be made in war time." He stands up from his log next to the fire,and walks towards his horse. " I've been recruiting lately for my branch of the Black Band," he gets unto his horse and looks down at the travel he had shared a fire with. "If you could do me a favor and help spread the word. That would be great, and I guess that could be my payment for saving you." The captain rides to the dirt road heading east towards _the Imperial City of Avalad_. On the ground he passes 16 or so bandits. The traveler had gave his word to do so and headed south to _Barad Elel_. Quickly word spread that the great mercenary group was recruiting again. All races from all walks of life were welcomed in the Black Band. Well they are welcomed as long as they can pass training and any test that are thrown at them, but pass and money is surely to be made in this mercenary group. The Black Band gets all sorts of jobs, from killing a local necromancer, slaying a corrupt dragon, even fighting in petty wars between local rulers. **So, will you put on the black band?** CS Name- Race- Male/Female- Appearance- Backstory- Skills- (If needed)Magic/magical abilities- Equipment- (If needed)Extra items- Other: The rules 1. we are op, but we are not gods. We can die like anyone else. 2. Within the Black Band there will be a rank, if you refuse to fallow orders without good reason punishment will be given out. 3. Let's try to have fun and get along with each other. 4. If you have anything crazy special about your character then run it by me. As long as it's not too wild it will probably be okay. 5. Let's try not to speed post. 6. Put "I will wear the band" in other to prove you read the rules. 7. Don't go crazy on the gore, and yes we can bloody fuckin curse. 8. Yeah love can happen, just fade to black, and do it in pm Lands of the western men -The Imperial City of Avalad, Gissfell City and fortress, Seawick, the Tower of Gaki, Waburh Stronghold, Avm Keep, Lands of the eastern men -The Blessed City of Orindon, The fortress of Napha the indomitable, The Cathedral of Damubu, Cotegin, Haywold, Hastow, Gadun Land of the Elfs -Mula the city of spires, Caerphy, Barad Elel, Mene the city of rings, Wybrook, Hacoria, Gondortharg, Lands of the dwarves - "claim" all mountains, Runba's Deep, The Astral Port of Hoondon, The Citadel of Buramma Free kingdoms -Taham, Throne of the Gods -Repool, Throne of the Gods -Hyde Tower -The Temple of Elemental Evil Lands of the Demons -Phorne Keep, The Tower of Enteral Night, Ardarth, Eglar Lands of the Orcs -The Cathedral of the Wrath Emperor, the Castle of Broken Worlds, the Narakib Mountains Lands of the Undead -the Fortress of Cusala the Enchantress, The Great Crossroads of Thelorge, The Ruins of Loydye Tower, the Desolation of Ninabi, the Desolation of Saduki, Race info- **the Undead** all serve a necromancer until that necromancer dies unless they have orders to not turn to dust when he does. Some of these undead don't get peace and sleep when their master dies. They get almost a 2nd chance at life, and have their own free will. **the dwarves** have, after many centuries, connected their kingdom and their mountains together underground. Though the dwarves have great numbers they don't tend to leave their mountain kingdoms very much. They have blackpowder. **the elfs** keep most of their kingdom hidden in the Northern Vale, but somewhere in there is the kingdom of the elders. They seem to be the leaders of the Elven kingdoms. **the demons** can be as strong as an orc and as powerful in magic as an elf. Though the power of these tall horned warrior's is limited. If they do not feed off of food from their realm, their powers start to fade. some of the more powerful demons can summon a small portal to their realm. Anyone else who is not that skilled must buy it from them. All a demon needs in a nibble to continue to live in this world. **the Free Kingdoms** arm simply citystates that have a mix of all races. **the orcs** are a great warrior kingdom, but oddly enough have their own advances including blackpowder.

CS Name- **'The Exiled King' Redswift** Race- Elf Male Appearance- **Backstory**- Born into royalty, Redswift was the first son of the elven queen in the hidden forest of Dumir. His family life was shattered when Human Brigands invaded the forest and a vicious human beserker raped his mother. The elven queen then gave birth to a half elf bastard child, Halen who the entire community instantly reject because of his birth. Redswift cared about his little brother but the politics of the forest prevented him from speaking out. Saldy when Halen became of age he left the forest in fustration of not belonging. He then became a notrious hunter and had many great adventures. After the eventual death of his mother the new King Redswift became very bored with life as a royal and longed for adventure and to see his brother again. The forest was not happy with his desire to join his half elf brother and the forest elders exiled him. The rule of the forest being taken over by a corrupt councilman. Now Redswift longs to grow stronger, learn more about the world and find his brother, hoping to take back the forest he once called home. **Skills**- Redswift is trained as an elven knight during his time as a prince, he is proficient with elven longsword and bow, but is especially deadly with the spear and shield combo. He also enjoys all the physical advantages of being and elf, with amazing catlike agility and reflexes. He is also a master strategist having led armies and campaigns. He is a trained shipwright and naval expert and also has a background in animal taming and is able to train and ride wyvrens and drakes. **Magic/magical abilities**- Redswift has a disdain for magic seeing it as weak and 'femenine' and prefers to fight head on with physical weapons or cunning strategy, but he has a level of skill in elven healing magic which he tries to only use when most nessecary, because of that his skills are somewhat underdeveloped. **Equipment**- Royal Elven Alloy Armour, Elven Knight Spear, Royal Dumir Shield. Elven short sword,15 Throwing knives, strong elven rope. various elven herbs Other: Redswift's time as King had a negative effect on his personality, while inheritly a good person, he can short tempered and rude to those around him with his ingrained royal arrogance, this makes his ability to work in a team rather strained. AND I will wear the black band

Also, how do demons feed on food from their own realm? Do they open a portal or something? I knew I was forgetting something. I'll add it into my earlier post, but some of the more powerful demons can summon a small portal to their realm. Anyone else who is not that skilled must buy it from them. All a demon needs in a nibble to continue to live in this world. It seems like someone accidentally shipped Him to the Imperial City with the Captain's name on the box. Haha, welcome to the band

Alright Frokane, welcome to the band

Avelia Grimbrand Human Female  **Backstory** Avelia was originally the daughter of a merchant king out of the Imperial City of Avalad, though she hardly remembers who or what her original father was. Only bits and fragments remained since the her father was ambushed by orcs on the way to Runba's Deep. Surviving by hiding in a barrel of mackerel, though when she heard voices Avelia had rolled out of the barrel reeking of fish. Finding herself before a band of Dwarf warriors returning home. One of them a general, General Belgek Grimbrand. Belgek was no stranger to humans, but he didn't expect to see the girl. When he tried to inspect the Avelia for any wounds, she out right punched him. Everyone fell silent but the General couldn't help to start laughing and everyone else started to also. Taking her in as a ward of sorts since he had no daughters of his own or sons for that matter. Proclaiming her as his child, teaching all aspects of the dwarvern culture. Training her not only as a warrior but also taking the knack for the rifle that she favored highly, along with anything of an explosive charge. Though it wasn't enough she had to make her own, over a few months she produced a schematic for would be the greatest rifle built or at least to her way of thinking. A massive weapon with a single shot barrel and then a secondary one under it just to blast a hole in things, with dragons teeth surrounding the two barrels. Belgek was sent off to ward of an incursion but due to a lack of evidence the general had been slain, though many in the kingdom think it was just a ploy to get rid of Belgek since he denied to wed Avelia the crowned prince. No hard feelings were between the fathers but the prince was insulted and so many think the general's death was just a ploy to get rid of him. Now on her own she did fine but again the crown prince asked for her hand in marriage in her typical fashion she out right punched him. Breaking his nose along two of her fingers. The ordeal was blown out of proportion by prince and his guard and was sparred the death penalty for assaulting royalty and in the name of her father she was banished. Taking a few belongings looked back at her home one last time and left. Though she vows to find out the truth and give the prince his just deserts. Skills- An expert marksman, devestating hand to hand combatant with her two axes and her fists, almost ingenius inventor and metal worker, can read and right ancient dwarvern runes, fluent in the common dwarf tongue and can drink just about anyone under the table. Can barter with dwarves to get better deals, very enduring can take a lot of punishment. Magic/magical abilities- Minor fire magic, enough to start fires and ignite her rifle. Equipment- A pair jade blast glasses to calculate distance. Two satchels filled with black powder and shot, 'Dragon's Fire' her rife, two two shot matchlock pistols, Two double edged dwarvern handed axes hanging at her sides, variety of hand tools and a couple hand thrown bombs. (If needed)Extra items- A garnet ring ring of her adoptive father Other:I will wear the band (Blackpowder has all the same negative effects as it does in reality, but with additive in Avelia's powder if the powder is used when wet it could create a tremendous backfire because it binds the compound causing it to liquify and amplifying the power.)

Amelian, take your time. If real life stuff is happening by all means take your time no rush.

Thanks Color

we could use a magic user!

> we could use a magic user! If we don't get one from someone who joins, someone could make a second character if they want to. Even if we don't get one, I plan on having npcs for Cannon fodder.

I'll work on making a spellslinger then.

> I'll work on making a spellslinger then. Sweet, can't wait to see it Also if you guys want to look at it the Captain's CS is up. It's a little long, but it will give a couple of hints of were we will be going in the RP. At least for what I have planned so far.
