Long ago in a kingdom long forgotten, A huge war broke out between the five Nations.
To combat this threat, the wise King of Brokwyrd gave instructions for five magic imbued swords to be crafted, one for each Nation in hopes that the nations would keep from battling each other in favor of these gifts. These Knights were dubbed the "Knights of Five"
And for a while, his plan worked, and the Nations were at peace.
but soon the Nation of Kravenfriht Suddenly turned it's back on the treaty, and attacked the others, with several ambushes that were strategically placed enough to cause Kravenfriht's King to rule with an Iron Fist. The people cried out under the King's rule for the other four knights, whereas all but one had been slain, and this knight was no match for a full nation of men who serve their King with the utmost respect.
Eventually he too was captured and locked away, then hanged in full view of the Nation of Kravenfriht's court, as a testament to the King's ultimate power.
Oddly enough, none of the knights who were slain seemed to have a sword on them...
strange....

Here’s the Setup:
There are Five swords. One is in the King's possession and the other four are going to be found during the RP. At the beginning of the story, NOBODY has a sword. they will find them DURING the RP. Sword abilities Must be approved by the GM/Co-GMs, but for the most part are fully customizable.
The end goal here is to get rid of/subdue/kill the King of Kravenfriht.
The Nations are as follows:
Kravenfriht- The Central Nation of Trade. without the King's say, nothing gets through, which means without servitude, your nation will suffer.
Fravkoan- the Western Nation of gold mining. Many thieves reside here due to the amount of gold found coming and going.
Harocrint- The Eastern Nation of Farmland. Miles and Miles of grain and vegetables. and admittedly not the best populace for swordsmanship
Brokwyrd- The Southern Nation of Smithing. the best weapons are always found here, most of them magic imbued, but none so powerful as the Blade of the Knight of Five whom resided there.
Drevmort- the Northern Nation of livestock. People need meat. 'nuff said
And what are the abilities of the swords, you may ask? well that is where I am giving you a choice,
Don'ts
this is a fantasy/medieval world, so the swords can't be used to do things like:
cause black holes
rip the space time continuum
cause massive nuclear or biochemical explosions.
DO'S
They can however:
Become three times the wielder's size without slowing the wielder down
Emit elemental blasts on command (this is not one ability. each element is it's own ability, so if you can shoot fire, you can't shoot lightning as well unless you want to use up another Sword Power)
Slice through anything but another one of the Five Blades
Change form to another weapon for short periods of time
Camouflage the wielder
These are just suggestions and things you can't do with the swords. I expect you to come up with your own unique powers for the legendary blades. Be creative!
This is a medieval idea based loosely off of SoulCalibur, WITHOUT 1 single good blade of ultimate power. it uses five neutral blades and a power hungry King who has obtained one of the blades. the OOC is located here: The Swords of the Five
