You know, I've heard stories about what is in the center of those mountains. You know, the giant ring in the center of the mainland, impossible to miss. It's said that no one has ever gone in and returned, and that the few that have gone in have been great heroes of old. I heard old Karrov himself went in there in his old age with his personal guard. Not a one returned from the trip. What could possibly be in there that is so dangerous as to kill the man that united the entire country? People still climb up to the tops of the mountains to try and get a good look in, but all they can see is an impenetrable mist. I once climbed myself, just to make sure nobody was pulling the wool over my eyes. But there it was, plain as day, the mist obscuring everything from view. Hell, it might have just been low hanging clouds that had gotten caught in the mountains, as high as that mist was. Didn't go in, obviously. More brains than that. I hear that some people are gathering up to go in, though. Bunch of fools, I tell you. Recruiting. Might go take a look, if you've got a death wish. Ha ha ha...


On the grand island nation of Veretta, the country is ruled by the Senate, and order of nine individuals, three from each of the three original races: Fenrir, humans, and imps. The Inquisition watches over the populace with an eagle eye, searching for mages and hunting demonologists, those foul mages who would dare try to enslave the spirits at the will of daemons. Mages are taken to the Tower of Magi, where they are educated on their gift, and are then either integrated into the Guard or Army, or allowed to roam the Southern Island to eek out a normal life, let out for business purposes only. And under it all are the "noble" families, rich or old families that date back to the founding of the Republic, that wage secret wars against each other to boost their own power.

You are simply a person wishing for something more. A government funded expedition into the center of the mainland has begun, and is recruiting new hands. Any man or woman may apply, but only the strongest and bravest may join the ranks. These mercenaries will be traveling into the center of the mountains, and record what they find inside. Their findings are to be returned to the Senate upon return. Supplies are to be given, able to last the group approximately three months. However, the group may return at any time with their findings, and will receive just compensation.

The expedition will be run by Sir Roland Grover and Sage Romanov. Applications will be taken at the Sleeping Nymph Inn in Upper Karlathine.

Races


Humans: Humans make up the second largest population in Veretta. The humans that live on the island are light skinned, with hair ranging from blonde to black. Eyes are generally some variation of blue, green, or brown. Height is normally between five and six feet by adulthood, though there are exceptions to this rule. They are numerous, but less so than the fenrir.

Fenrir: The fenrir are large humanoids that seem to be a mix of wolf and human. They stand tall, most standing between seven and eight feet, though the rare one known as an "alpha" gain become upwards of nine feet by adulthood. Their fur ranges between white and black, while their eyes are normally blue or yellow. Their temper is usually short, and they are quicker to fight first and ask questions later. They are rely on emotions rather than thoughts more often than not, and so make poor politicians. However, their streak in military success attributes to their keen intellect. Many become members of either the guard or military some time in their life, or become a member of the Inquisition.

Imps: Imps are small, white skinned creatures that once inhabited the mountains in the center of Veretta. They generally have curly brown hair, and a mouthful of sharp teeth. They have pointed, angular features, and grey eyes. They're height is low, generally between three and five feet. They are most often merchants, though they still have their old warrior spirit from their days as warlords of the mountains, and as such their numbers are seen in the military almost as much as the fenrir.

I would like this roleplay, I think. Would you be willing to have a female Alpha Fenrir?

I will post a bit more world info and some history, though I'll just ask now: What would you like to see, specifically?

I would accept this so long as the backstory was good.

Make that one more person, you have gained my attention. This reminds me of The Legend Of Grimrock if you have heard of it. A question I have is about the prevalence of magic with in this world

Relatively interested, though a little bit more rules of tech and/or magic would be awesome.
