[WE ARE FULL PLEASE DO NOT APPLY, I AM SORRY] :(

The City of Swords lies at the heart of this world: its wealth and power renown to all, its foundries and buildings stretching far beyond the eye. For many citizens, there is no life beyond its walls. For many citizens, they have never even seen these walls. Upon its seat lies the Lord of Swords, Philius Garnax, the all-powerful monarch of this land, ruling with an iron fist. Backing his rights to the throne are the five Houses of the Guard (House Crow, Raven, Rook, Jackdaw, and Vulture) – their loyalty unquestionable, their limits only beneath the words of their Lord. It is this gruesome hierarchy that terrorizes its citizens: poverty, famine, public execution, torture, slavery. These things keep the outnumbering seas of the common people in their place, for the foundries smokes must never quench – the swords must keep coming, the Lords fist never loosening, the cycle must go on. But today, a new power is rising. A power the Lords eye has yet to spy from his colossal tower in the center of the city. The people have been enslaved for too long. Change is coming, and we are that change.

(This is fantasy plot but there are no magic or supernatural entities or powers: primarily based on medieval custom yet completely fictional)

I will be online Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays between 4:30pm and 11:00pm (UK time - UTC+00:00) So that will be the time for posting.

General Rules

(As I'm unfamiliar with this website and this is my first hosted campaign, help me to get these tweaked so they are perfect for everyone :) )
- Don't post until at least two other people have posted before you
- No 'automatic hit' actions
- As GM, I will play NPC's and will have no unique character of my own
- As GM, I can post as and when is appropriate without the two post rule
- Responses can be as long or as short as you see appropriate (I was going to ask we refer to our characters in the first person, however I know this will be confusing, so 3rd person please)

A question, would/could our characters be members of the five Houses of the Guard?

This sounds like it could be really interesting. The question I have, is how speedy the post turnaround would need to be for this in order to not ruin it for you guys? I can get on every day but work impedes when that can be.

Keep me posted but, if it's not to be for me, then good luck with the RP.

@Rook


Me too, mate, so hopefully the timings won't be mucked about too much. As I say, I would be interested in joining but I don't want to mess it up for you if I can't reply straight away.

Could for example a character be a double agent working for the Lord of Swords and for "rebellion" that is coming soon? Although I imagine him as a mercenary for both sides.

One more thing I need to ask. You stated there are no supernatural powers, but could they use skills and techiques that make their norml attacks stronger?
