Captivating Power

[ViolentViolet]

This idea has been stewing for a long time now and I wanted to see what all interest there was here to work it out with people. I have lots of information on it already and lots of places for characters thus far.

Power is something that most hunger. Money and strength, soldiers to serve them and beautiful princesses to marry. They want the Throne. In a old world, long forgotten now and fading away from ancient magic that has no been soon for so very long, it is here that our story takes place. A King sits upon his death bed, his two sons and daughter clinging to their protective mother, none yet old enough to rule. Four great houses below them hold the four corners of the world; North, South, West, East. From there four families each. Each completes for power, hope, magic and family. Love, hate, war, peace. For the last two hundred years the kingdom has been nothing but peaceful but spiders lurk in the shadows, watching and waiting for the perfect time to put their pawns into power.

Nobody, yet everyone, can and cannot be trusted. Will you win; or will you die?

Inspired by multiple works of fiction, including Game of Thrones, Eragon and Hobbit. I hope that you find it interesting as I do. Ask whatever you like before joining :)

Might wanna clarify what sort of roles you picture the players having.

[ViolentViolet]

Well since there's a bunch of families inside the kingdom on the continent of Oneria, they would be able to play characters from all over the world really.

The House Vallion live on the islands. The Lothian in the North. Harrington in the mountains. Martel, Helios, Praetor in the desert. Braxton in the riverlands. Lancaster in the plains. And the royal family of course, the Valyrian.

They could play as peasents, knights and servants as well. And there's even a few organizations throughout the kingdom.

Should I post a list?@Primal Conundrum

[Primal Conundrum]

It would help, yes. Also, what's your stance on more exotic fantasy races, i.e. minotaurs, centaurs, gnolls, etc.?

[ViolentViolet]

Well for the beginning I would prefer to have everyone human. Since it's for plot purposes to bring back magic later, though I suppose I wouldn't mind divulging some of my secrets ;)

For now I would have to say no more exotic creatures right now. *bows* I'm sorry

Alright, I've mostly been hunting for something where I can play a more monstrous race, so I'm gonna head off. Best of luck.
