Beyond the Desert Sands [Adventure, Fantasy]

**[Click here for the OOC.](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75688/posts/ooc)** The people of Theris never knew a world beyond the desert sands. In their homes of sandstone bricks, they lived in ignorance. The Theri worshipped Aquitas, the God of the Sun; according to Theri legend, he bathed the lands in his glow to save them from darkness, and in return for their homage, Aquitas granted the Theri good harvest. Who were the Theri to disobey the almighty Aquitas? For it was he who led them out from the dark, who rebuked the demons of the air, and who forced the sands of death to hold back from sweeping away the Theri from the face of the world. The elders of Theris warned the people that straying out of the crop fields and into the barren desert would bring their ruin and kill them all, so the people complied. They believed the unknown desert would unleash its demons if any man stepped forth into the sands. The loving of men, the unholy desires, the demons, all of them came from the evils of the sand and the air. Many stories were passed for generations, but their mantra was the same: anyone who stepped outside of Aquitas's holy gaze met doom and hellfire. The daughter of the Theri chief, blessed with blonde hair reflecting the light of Aquitas, claimed to a world outside of Theris. She envisioned endless plains of flowing water, dirt pillars with green obelisks reaching the stars, and tall dunes made of rock towering above the world. The town thought she was insane. She fought to convince whomever she could, yet she only found audience among the young, gullible enough to believe her fantasy tales... ---- I'm not finished fleshing out the plot, but I just want to see who's interested in the premise so far. Any takers? The plan is for a fantasy world with other races, but the Theri are humans. I'm looking for people who are interested in an adventure.

I'm interested, what kind of stuff are we going to expect?

I'm thinking about a conflict between the villagers developing, and I'm also thinking about an external conflict involving an ancient evil, a forgotten goddess, and some monster-fighting. There'll be a whole world to explore, of course, and at some point I'll open up to the creation of characters of different races.

God dang double post from mobile!

Adventure! Well, this certainly is something I am interested in. I can't resist a good ole adventure with monster killing.

Thank you for the interest! Just a side note, I plan on leaving the roleplay open indefinitely. I'm looking for at least 3 or 4 more people before I start.

Bumping for the evening crowd. c:

I would be interested.

Definitely count me in

Sounds good. Would be interested.

Thanks for all the interest! With that, we have plenty of people to open a thread. If we get lucky, maybe more people will join us for the ride. I'll make another post in a few hours with a link to the OOC.

I *might* be up for the ride ^_^

Veeery cool~! I'd totally love to do something like this.

When do you plan on making the thread?

> When do you plan on making the thread? I was going to make it last night, but RPG crashed when I finished typing it, and I have to start over. :( **Edit:** It turns out that RPG isn't letting me create the topic at all. The server *didn't* crash, but for some reason, creating a thread gives me an internal server error. I'm seeking out the problem right now. Hopefully I'll be able to get the OOC up soon.
