~Brief back history and places~
The kingdom of Arlos is vast and diverse from verdant thick forests, rich black soil farmlands, mountains of jagged rock, cold rolling hills and hot plain lands slipping to whipping desert sands. To the south are the cold rolling hills of Hearath, leaving the most hearty and stalwart people to survive in a region where the summer yields to snow occasionally former Kings before the Great unification betrayed by the Lords of Rock. Subjugated and the first to fight the Arlosi crown. Now just staying to themselves mainly, offering seclusion too those who wanted to get away, still sour after their defeat a thousand years later and the first to after Calvert declared war to separate from the crown. The former royal line is burnt out in name but still lived on threw its female members.
The Lords of Rock, often called the Blue Lords separate the southern lands. Named after the Blue mountains that they rained over. Crops grown in the low laying meadows, more often having to import grain and fruits to combat a protein heavy diet. Trading it mostly for the copper, iron and coal that supply the arms, armor and most other needs that required such metals. Throwing themselves the crown during the unification in exchange for food as they'd been starving. Giving the crown safe passage to southern lands in exchange for the food they so desperately needed.
The western land of Caralen Covered in thick forests, bountiful in most aspects and the old seat of the first Arlosi King. Home to the capital city of Selvant. It's foundations built on an even older set of ruins who's name is long lost to the tides of history. How they originally came to be the dominant power isn't exactly known as there are several various reasons as to why. But no one anymore cares as they live in the now and present. Beneath the city lays a complex network of ancient sewers and tunnels. Housing the homeless and other unsavory characters. The only true maps of underneath the tunnel complex has been lost by the royals but there has been no need of retreat.
The Lands of Tuburar and and Lachia were joint kingdoms that neighbor Caralen. Tuburar ruled by a nameless chieftain but gave his seat up to the King of Lachia in order for safety against others. The Rolman King Lefner knew however Caralen was subjugating land left and right and held a meeting between the two nations. One that would result in years of bloodshed. Not a soul knew what was said but it started the ten year war. Fighting as an equal and the Lachia king was willing to submit for one reason and one reason alone. That he be allowed to marry the Princess Leycia, who's beauty had been unfathomable. Caralen gave up its prized flower for an ally in arms.
The north of Ecala, deserts and oasis's often staying out of petty politics and the kings of the south. Due to the immense amount of prized wines and fine silk it made it the last target of the Caralen conquest. As a deeply religious people though believe that the gods would save them from any threat. Caralen attacked during the start of new year, a holy day taking the capital by by storm. Subjugating the last of the kingdoms.
All this happening over a thousand years ago. Creating and consolidating and compacting the newly formed kingdom. Now a new conflict comes to rock the kingdom to its core. War will become rampant. Crops will be grown in blood and stream will run red. A feud between a bastard and a man who's honor had been deeply gouged.
Note: You can create anyone from any aspect of life. Magic using and foreigners will need to be approved. Also this world will not be just up to me to create. I want everyone input and ideas to help create a fun and fruit full roleplay. Also characters I would like to see is Calvert's only daughter and the pretender king.
