40 years ago, a young man now known as the Hero of Twilight saved the Kingdom of Hyrule from being consumed by Shadow. After which it is rumored he returned to the town of Ordon, which back then was just a village. A statue was built in the middle of castle town at the request of Queen Zelda. Over the years, several threats to the kingdom has risen and was cut down every time by the Hero. Another threat is looming on the horizon and many people can feel it. One of the biggest threats since the Rise of Ganondorf, not like the armies of other nations or threat of a creature wiping out a village. This is much more than any of those. And this time, the Hero is nowhere to be found. Some think he sensed it and went to confront it. Others think assassins killed him long ago, the last time him being seen in public 14 years ago.
Rumor has it that Queen Zelda has summoned warriors from every corner of the Kingdom and even foreign lands to investigate this new mysterious threat...
As you might have guessed by now, this will be a high casual role-play based in the LoZ Universe, taking place 40 years after the events of Twilight Princess. In this role-play, we'll be exploring morality, war, and the effects of being called a Hero. The cast aren't heroes or even consider themselves heroes however, they are warriors, soldiers, and mercenaries called on by Queen Zelda to prevent a Kingdom wide disaster. There will be a cast of 6-7 characters at most, I won't put on defined roles as I find that limits the player's creativity. I hope to create an epic and moving story with you, the players of the guild.
Once a small village and the rumored birthplace of The Hero of Twilight, Ordon is a bustling town deep in the woodlands of Hyrule. Trade to and from there is common and many move there to get away from the fast city life of many settlements like Castle Town. It is famed for it's beautiful forests and seamless integration with nature. The Hero of Twilight himself built a ranch in the hills of Ordon, supplying many people with the finest horses in Hyrule. A small statue of a young Hero of Twilight resides in the center plaza. A figure in local legend is the Spirit of Ordona, A spirit of Light that looks over the forests around Ordon.
The gateway to the woodlands of Hyrule at the southern most point of the Southern Hyrule Field, Faron City is a place of music and art. About 6 years after Hyrule was liberated from the threat of Shadow, A group of artists left in protest of the populace ignoring culture more and more. They started building their homes on the edge of the Faron Woods, many of them thinking it's a beautiful place of seamless transition from plains to woods. With help from Ordon, they established a secure foothold and begin learning and adding to the culture of the area, making major contributions in art and music. To this day, Faron City is a must visit for any type of artist.
A wonderful example of how species and cultures can interact and blend together, Lanaryu is a small town built around Lake Hylia, where Hylians and Zoras live together in harmony. Many come here to meet Zoras, participate in the plentiful fishing, visit Lanaryu's Cave, or simply take in the beauty. Many of the buildings extend onto the water itself, though mostly Zoras live there. This is referred to as the Aqua District. Lanaryu is the light spirit of the Lake and has a shrine in the water cave over the water.
The biggest city in Hyrule, it is a melting pot of culture, diversity, and wealth. If it exists, you can find it here. This is the center of diplomatic and military activities, where 95% of the Kingdom's military is trained. Species of all kinds live and work here, Gorons with their exert craftmanship of weapons and equipment. Zoras with exotic jewels and goods. And even maybe a Gerudo or two, working as guards or vendors of exotic equipment. Over the years, Castle Town has moved away from it's very culture and tradition centric society towards the wealth and progress, expanding even more over the years from it's size 40 years ago.
A species of aquatic humanoids, The Zoras are known for their love of nature and respect for waterways. They are also known for their cooperation with other species and craftsmanship of exotic gems. Though rarely seen in battle, Zora Spear Technique is famed for it's effectiveness out of and underwater.
Natives of Death Mountain, Gorons are known for their craftsmanship of weapons and battle ferocity. Their diet consists of rocks and metal. Those who do not live on Death Mountain or in Kakariko Village are blacksmiths or mercenaries throughout the kingdom.
Home of the Gerudos, not much is known to most in Hyrule, as they cut off contact after Ganondorf was killed. Those who are in Hyrule are usually hostile who anyone won't pay them. Gerudo bandits are a common occurrence across the plains.
I quite like the looks of this. If it's all the same, I'd like to join as a male Gerudo. With the Gerudo sparse by Twilight Princess and the stigma around the whole... you know... Ganondorf destroying the world stuff, I think it would be cool to play a social outcast everyone is already half expecting to be a villain.

Ah! I haven't done a Advanced RP since the older forums :O, I might- just might try to join this one. I've loved the Legends of Zelda since I was I kid. :D
