Fantasy's Shattering

[TheWendil]

Since as far back as anyone can remember, the world has always been splintered. Broken. Divided. Shattered beyond all recognition. There was a time though, before the cataclysmic Shattering, when this world was whole. Legends of the ancient times speak of this world being much greater than its current state, a place of everlasting peace…and boredom. The Shattering followed soon after, bringing conflict into the world. No one can say for sure what exactly caused the Shattering, though many researchers of our time agree that it was the actions of some primordial deity, perhaps, the deity that created all realities. But that is mere speculation. What is known are the stories of the Thirteen Heroes and their journey to stop the Shattering. It was through their actions alone that this world halted its descent into destruction and did not fall apart completely. However, shortly after their victory, the Heroes were locked away, kept hidden from the world. Or so the legends say. Enter the present day. Since those dark times eons ago, bids for power have risen and fallen. Through it all, one force has forced its way to the top, becoming a government to unite the world as one: the Imperium. Things are much different these days. The majority of people live out their lives either serving the Imperium or exploring the territories of their broken world. And then there are the Mercenaries. Arms at hire, criminals to most, but most of all, treasure hunters willing to risk all for their prize. To become a Mercenary is to sell one’s soul for pride and profit. Few dare to even consider the lifestyle. In one day though, the strings of fate become altered once more. Legend Relics. Thirteen powerful artifacts said to contain the legacy and mementos of each Hero that stopped the Shattering. The Imperium has proclaimed an order to all for the request of these objects, placing the highest price conceivable for their return. Why does the Imperium seek them? What worth do they have now? To what end is the world slowly becoming shattered again? That’s not your problem. Your concern lies in locating those Legend Relics first before your rival Mercenaries do. For this is the greatest treasure hunt ever proclaimed by man…

Hmmm interesting

[TheWendil]

Well that was fast.

Co-GM here, checking in. Feel free to ask either myself or Windel any questions you might have, we'll answer it to the best of our abilities.

[FVGT]

I'm interested, but what shape are the relics?

@FVGT

They vary in all sorts of forms. Some can be as simple as an amulet or torn piece of cape while another can be as diverse as a shard of the Heroe's weapn.

[JurassicHole]

Interested.

[Zran]

Sign me up. But before I fully commit how much activity is expected? I'm not asking to be lazy but in one week I will be starting university and can't guarantee more than 2-3 a week tops.

[McFazzer]

I am interested, but what level is the technology? Are we Medieval? Renaissance? Napoleonic War?

@Zran

Honestly, it will vary. However, this will be a little more smaller based in terms of people wanted, so I expect posts to be quite frequent. But if you can somehow squeeze your character back in after a week of inactivity, then we're fine with that.

@McFazzer

This will be full fantasy, at least initially. That means magic and spells galore, though there are also Medieval aspects.

@TheWindel

Awesome I'm sure I can manage, just expect a few long posts. If this gets off the ground quickly I can guarantee at least 2 weeks of solid posting the first week back won't take too much of my time. I'm keen to start already.

[RedXCross]

I'm interested!

[TheWendil]

Good to hear! I'll be making an OOC later and posting it up. Also, the relics will all have the same form; colored amulets.

[JurassicHole]

Awesome, can't wait for it to be up. I should be able to get a post a day in, possibly every other day at times depending on assignments from classes and work. Also, on a side note, what anime is your sig from? The animation looks amazing. EDIT: Just realized it changes. The one I'm referring to is the girl with the lightsaber thing swinging crazily.

@JurassicHole

Ah. That's actually Sword Art Online 2. In which Kirito gets a female-esque avatar. Also a lightsaber. The OOC should be up tonight.

[TheWendil]

Here's the OOC everyone.
