@Lauderwe are ok with it. Just remember because he’s an orc, he will receive MAJOR discrimination. Not only because of being non human but more so for being an orc.

They would have been driven out of the desert as well.

Questions?

@Kitty and/or @Aerandir can answer them!

FQA

Magic- Magic can be taught to anyone, but it is extremely difficult in many cases. There are people who are born to be more magically in-tune. But this has nothing to do with Bloodlines. So no 'Pure bloods'. Also being magically in-tune does not mean with a single type of magic, but magic in general. This doesn't mean you can master everything insanely fast. But able to understand it better than mos

Races- You can play as an elf, dwarf, half-ling, or orc. (Please ask before you create an entire sheet about your race that's not part of the basic version of fantasy, so you don't go through the entire process and get shot down on the race. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO DO THIS, Note your character will face extreme discrimination within the kingdom of Tricealia. They wont have a high position in the government, and treated as third class citizens. Even Shrikanti/veiled ones; who are darker skinned are discriminated as well. Even magic users born into the kingdom still can face it. Please take this into account while creating your character.

Map- I have no problem updating the map, and would love to do so if you think of something that would be in your characters history. (If they are from a farming town, or mining town. etc.)

Character sheet

*When creating your character, Kitty and I appreciate any questions you might have about our world. We also would like all of you to come up with a sub main story you want for your characters. The end goal, hopes and ideas for the future, adding city or area (mountains, lakes, rivers, plains, etc.) on the map you want your character to be from so we can add it to the map. That way everyone’s character has a plot to work on their own and somehow we will mix it with the other players and Main plot.

This will help build the world and lore, and make it feel more organic. This will also include everyone and make an amazing story at the same time.

Once you do, please send it to Kitty and I by PM's. That way we can work together with you on it.

The Vanguard

Name
The Vanguard

Race/Faction
Soldiers tasked with protecting the throne

Age
Founded 356 years ago

Motivation
To protect the royal throne and the country as a whole.

History
The Vanguard has been around for several hundred years, and to do their history justice would take more time than available to describe. Some of the most important events however are these:
In the beginning, the Vanguard was a small guild devoted to being highly skilled mercenaries who worked out of Tricaelia, however in their 15th year of founding the then King, King Byron Reise Tricaelian, hired them to act as bodyguards to his daughter Princess Ameliadae, who was considered the most beautiful woman in her time, from being kidnapped by a group of renegades during a rebellion. After protecting her for 16 years faithfully, King Byron rehired them as the personal bodyguards for the entire royal family.
20 years later, and the group had grown into the military during the war with Druitar. Their abilities on the battlefield had thrown everyone into madness. After destroying the front lines they began to give Tricaelia the upper hand leading to the first signing of the peace with Druitar and Tricaelia, Queen Ameliadae being extremely proud of her warriors and bestowing on them lands and influence above most of the present forces and guilds. After being elevated in such a way they began recruiting people directly from the military and the provost's (to clarify, the police.) and rotating them between whatever war front (if applicable) and patrolling the streets. Unlike most elite groups they did not prevent commoners from entering their group, however the prejudice did exist and the majority of individuals remained nobles' second sons or the lower houses.
For the next 200 years the Vanguard held up as the strongest force on Vraca (the continent this takes place in) and have only increased the rigor of training and expectation. At this time, there is no known force that is more powerful.

---

Strengths
The Vanguard are an elite force of swordsmen and shield-bearers, experienced fighters who know both the front lines of war, and patrol in the mean streets of the poorest neighborhoods. On top of that, they are trained in disaster relief and first aid, they are the first teams sent out in reaction to national emergencies. A select few are trained in counter measures of magic work and know most of the common ways of preventing or subverting magic.

Weaknesses
The Vanguard tends to follow the King blindly. Some are steadfastly loyal and unquestioning towards the king, some are more aware of the consequences of that mindset. They are also the most prejudiced against magic users on a more general level, which pits them against most magical groups and guilds.

---

What is your Faction's greatest flaw?
They follow the King without hesitation or question. While the people who are a part of the Vanguard are not evil, they commit acts that would be recognized as such if not for their protection from moral questioning by those who are dead.

---

The Veiled Ones/Shrikanti

Name
The Veiled Ones

Race/Faction
Shrikanti/Mistos

Age
Unknown, but it has lasted much longer than Tricaelia.

Motivation
To remove Tricaelia's control from the deserts of their homeland and more specifically out of Laralel the Pearl by the Ocean. That is all they care about. They could care less about what happens in Tricaelia.

Description
A race of people currently living in the Desert to the West of the Kingdom, with the majority of their people living in Laralel, The Pearl by the Ocean. They're a mostly nomadic tribe, however, they have 3 major cities. They are traders with an unknown amount of wealth. Sometimes an over-abundance. Sometimes they cannot feed their children. They travel throughout the Lands and trade with different peoples. Their weaving is considered extremely valuable and the Court Ladies in Tricaelia compete to have the cloth. However, they have their own fighting and magic systems. They use a curved sword and a form of martial arts that is based on dance movements to strike the enemy down. They are fast and graceful. Men become warriors. Their women become witches. their magic is curses, minor healings, and drawing water up from the ground or out of the air. They work in groups, no single Witch will attempt to take a group of enemies down, however, they could. (If you want to play a male who uses magic or female who uses a sword that is not forbidden but they'd be kind of an outcast to society at large).
They worship Sol, the Life Giver and Death Bringer. Shrikant, Desert wind. Macea, the lady of the Oasis. Basic religious ideology is that Sol is neither male nor female, but the creator of Shrikant and Macea who came together and gave birth to the world at large.
There is some sexism within their culture however, they have female tribal leaders and the Witch covens have power throughout their people.

History
Unknown, as they have little to no written history.

---

Strengths
A hardy people who know suffering, but have not fallen to it. They are warriors who know how to go days in the worst of conditions, without food or water, and still fight at the end of it. Mothers who can feed their children with nothing but sand to see for miles. But they are also merchants and traders, knowing the value of things in an almost intrinsic way. They also have a rich oral tradition, though they do have writing even if not everyone knows how to write.

Weaknesses
They are extremely insular, and have an us versus them mentality. Anyone who does not fit the mold is considered an enemy and will be held at arms length. They are poor more often than rich, so their city is literally built from canvas and twine, their people hunger and knowledge is scarce and is considered a valuable commodity to the point that individuals do horde it at the cost of others' loss.

---

What is your Faction's greatest flaw?
Their insular nature makes trade, their livelihood, much more difficult than it needs to be. Unlike most groups that deal with barter and goods they can't open their arms to new peoples and short themselves in the long run. To survive this mentality must change.

The Ouroboros

Name
The Ouroboros

Race/Faction
Mystic cannibalistic wizards

Age
Founded 290 years ago.

Description
An organization that is held to be myth by most, few believe in their existence, and of those who do believe they exist even fewer believe the stories about cannibalism and leader who has lived for the entirety of it's existence. Even fewer believe that they are capable of instigating a war between Tricaelia and them thinking they are to weak to do such a thing. They are shrouded in mystery and speculation, but what is known about them rivals expectations. The Ouroboros have a hierarchical order.

Scales = Outer defense/first layer of security. Generally weak or non magic users who aren't aware they are part of Ouroboros. Bandits, thieves, and small gangs that act as the footsoldiers and scouts.

Bones = the support. Healers, or merchants who support the organization through various actions.

Liver = The individuals tasked with the dirty work. THey clean up the messes and deal with internal conflicts. The cleaners and internal affairs for the operation

Heart = The instinct and emotional driven members. Some of the most powerful are located here. However, they are young or inexperienced. Some have been driven insane by the abilities of the Ouroboros.

Throat = The orators, and "voices" of the group. They strike the deals, they instigate war, they know what to say when to say it, and who to say it to.

The Teeth = 32 members of offensive powerhouses who's positions can only be lost through death. Even if they betray the organization (which wouldn't happen.) They would remain as a Tooth of the Ouroboros, however....the liver might just have a nice little meal later that evening.

The Eyes and The Ears = A four-member team acting as the knowledge gatherers. They are the greatest diviners and spies. Each takes the right or left position one eye and one ear. One skilled in the physical, one in the magical. However, do not underestimate any of them. They're all powerful by themselves.

The Brain = The defacto leader of the organization. She holds all knowledge and controls all actions. She is immortal in thought and deed. Infallible and perfect. However, she is endlessly hungry and incapable of self-control. She is held in check by the Head (The combined power of The Teeth and The Eyes and Ears.) and tempered by the Heart.

The Tail is a core knowledge in the Ouroboros in the ranks from Liver up through Brain. We consume ourselves until the end of time, to be reborn anew in shapes we never knew. All can rise, and All can fall.
Not one member can remain where they are indefinitely, and more importantly...The Head's duty is to watch over the rest of the Ouroboros util the end of time. Not one member is without value, all will take their turn in the Stomach.

The Stomach = A group removed from the hierarchy of the organization. They prepare the individuals so that specific skills, knowledge, or mental states can be drawn out of the flesh and be imbued into the bodies of those to take their place. A member of the Ouroboros will eventually become the meal of Ouroboros, and the Brain is one who has devoured each and every position and has grown to know all of the Ouroboros and lived the lives of a Thousand Men. But even she will fall to the blades of the Stomach.

Motivation
To bring Tricaelia into a state of chaos, and further their own magic

History
The Ouroboros are a very mysterious and isolated people. More will be revealed as IC develops.

---

Strengths
As powerful magic users they have collected, through various means, one of the most vast collections of magical and historical knowledge. On top of that, while specific individuals within the order are not immortal their knowledge and skills are not lost, just passed on to the next to take their place. With some of the best information gathering techniques currently available to them, they are more aware of movements by their enemies than those enemies could expect.

Weaknesses
On the downside, as powerful magic users, they are weak when it comes to physical actions. While they can use their magic to sort most of these types of problems, magic does have its limits and they can't reach beyond those limits. ON top of that they've learned to value the life of humans lowly, including their own, believing that their "reincarnation" is a path to eternal life, which leads to them taking risky steps they otherwise shouldn't. Most importantly, they can not find common ground with the people and without that, they'll only ever be half successful in their endeavors.

---

What is your faction's greatest flaw?
They are monsters in thought and deed however they do believe that they need to fix" everything that was done wrong by the Tricaelian kings.

The Woodsmen

Name: The Woodsmen

Race/Faction: The Kingdom of Tricaelia

Age: 300 years

Description: The Woodsmen is a guild essentially of scouts/spies, and keeping the peace. Despite its long lasting presence, it has remained relatively small because of how they operate. However the size of the guild is unknown to anyone. Even the king. It’s also rumored other branches of the guild have gone out, and they operate worldwide.

Motivation: They look to the future of the kingdom, all they do is in service to that goal.

History: The Woodsmen’s history is covered with mystery, no one really remembers how they came to be, But the only thing known for fact is they started in Tricealia. They keep meticulous records of everything that happens in the kingdom. This vault, which holds all this knowlege is unknown to anyone but a handful of higher ranked Woodsmen. They trade knowledge often with other branches around the world. They have a headquarters somewhere outside of the capital.

Strengths:

With three hundred years of making connections and keeping meticulous records, they almost always have leverage over some Lord or another.

Their abilities to keep secrets on their numbers and whereabouts and operations makes them a dangerous group because of the unknown factor.

They are legendary archers, and masters of stealth.

Weakness:
Because their secrecy, they've gotten a dark reputation as black magic Sorcerers. Most of the commoners and lords fear them because of that. While it can be considered a strength, it does make it hard to gain trust at times.

What is your guild's greatest flaw?

Their secrecy hinders their growth, and building trust.

Good Magic guild

The Royal Inquisition

Name:
The Royal Inquisition

Race/Faction:
The Kingdom of Tricaelia

Age:
As old as the kingdom itself

Description:
The Royal Inquisition is (along with the soldiers and town militias) the king’s tool to maintain the law. The inquisitors function as both crime investigators and judges, allowed to use any methods necessary to reach their goals. Those methods usually include kidnappings, threats to friends or family or inventive ways of torturing people. The inquisition mainly targets those who pose a threat to the king or the kingdom – rebels, agitators or just the people who would badmouth the king or sing a banned song on their way home from the inn.

Motivation:
To protect the king and the stability of the kingdom from any inside threats

History:
The inquisition’s history is tightly bound to the history of Tricaelia – the organization was founded shortly after the kingdom has been established, originally as a neutral force to investigate common crimes like theft and murder, while the judicial power was still within the hands of the local nobility. Throughout the time, the situation has changed several times, depending on the current king’s view. At some points in history, the inquisition was almost all-powerful with the authority to arrest, interrogate and sentence people, another time it was merely a small group of people scattered around the kingdom who helped the barons determine the truth in some criminal cases.
Right now, during the reign of king Willum, the inquisition is going through its golden ages. Powered by ruler’s ambitions and paranoia, the funds and authorities granted to the organization are nearly endless. No one is safe from its reach.

Strengths:
Support from the king, which means a lot of funding and authorities. The inquisitors are held with respect everywhere and have power over most people.
A lot of manpower. Aside from a number of newly accepted apprentices, the inquisition has several skilled, experienced and, above all, trustworthy members.

Weakness:
Feared and hated by the common folk. While this works as a strength sometimes, mostly it just means people are less likely to cooperate with them willingly.

What is your guild's greatest flaw?
Black-and-white view of the world. King’s word is the law, regardless of whether it makes sense or is it unnecessary cruel, the inquisition will always follow and punishes anyone who doesn’t.

King Willum

Name
King Willum Ayrshire Tricaelian, The Endless Reign

Race
Human

Faction
The Kingdom of Tricaelia

Age
47

Description
An extremely tall and broad man, King Willum is 6' 5" and weighs about 260 lbs. He has light brown hair, and brown eyes. On top of that there is a sense of power around him. An imposing nose, and full lips surrounded by a goatee gives him a traditionally masculine appearance. Considered to be handsome by a vast majority of his kingdom, this king feels very self assured in his appearance.

Class
King of Tricaelia, Ruler of All

Motivation
King Willum isn't entirely certain what motivates him anymore. Other than a sense of superiority and a need to destroy that which denies him, he is mostly apathetic in life. Though growing his children into the most powerful leaders of their time has become a near obsession for the man, despite not knowing why.

History
Tricaelia's complicated history and lore will unfold as IC progresses.

---

Strengths
A long time King is skilled in a silver tongue. Whether to be a sharp razor or a sweet treat, this man knows his way around words. Educated from an early age, there are few people who are as knowledgeable about the world as the King, and even fewer still who have his knowledge regarding magic and its various uses, he was a prodigy with blade and spell growing up, despite the prejudice his title saved him from open hostility about it. Lastly, this King seems to have some unnatural ability to be good at just about anything he picks up, no one is sure why, but it seems to be a trait of all of the Kings of Tricaelia, as the Right To Rule is shown, they rule over even the most inconsequential of things.

Weaknesses
King Willum is said to be without flaw or weakness, at least if anyone can hear you that is what you say. The man truly has a quick temper, and is incapable of "letting things go." He is impatient, and cares little for his people, you could even say that he is openly hostile towards them. Most importantly there is a hidden madness eating away at him slowly.

---

What is your character's greatest flaw?
There is nothing that stops Willum from destroying everything that stands in his way. even if that is his family...or himself.

---

Strengths
A diplomat naturally, the Queen has spent years learning how to walk among people of all types and make more friends than enemies along her path, though at times she chooses to antagonize and get the same results, she seems wise beyond her years, and it is unknown how good she is at divining the truth and information she shouldn't know, but tends to have an eclectic mix of knowledge that most couldn't keep up even when they have trained for it.

Weaknesses
Queen Eris loves her children to the ends of the world, unfortunately this blinds her to any faults they might have. She is also easily manipulated through them. She is trapped in a loveless marriage that was once the world to her, leading to a depression she struggles with at times, going so far as to force herself to face her husband and try to get the feeling for him back but cannot. This stays her hands when she knows the truth.

*This will update as the world will continue to build*

Locations of Interest

Cities

Kingdom of Tricealia

Akarath- Capital City of the Kingdom, and home to the Royal family. Largest of all the cities and surrounded by forrest. River flows from the north and splits just north of it, Flowing south west and south east. These splits have helped the city grow immensly, and quickly as they are large enough for barges to bring goods up from the coast. Making it the busiest trade city not on located on a coast.

Ruvale- A thriving port

Tychan- Larger town, which once served as an outpost/trade center between the Shrikanti and Tricealians land trade routes.

Yabella- Founded by the Shrikanti originally, taken by the Tricealian Kingdom thirty years ago in a small war between the two people.

Yeruse- A port and farming town,

Yhore- An ancient city with countless different styles of architecture. Its strategic position guarding the small inlet for trade made this city desirable and targeted many times in war. Trading hands often. The original kingdom that founded it is unknown. It has been in the Kingdoms possession for the last two hundred years. (Nikolaus Aeitos is the Duke of this city)

Khunrith- Farthest eastern city of the Kingdom, Set on the river that serves as a boarder to the kingdoms in the east. Another thriving trading town through land and sea. It also has a large garrison, and heavily fortified walls. The city is governed by Earl WIlliam Allaway, Father to Sir Fenros Allaway, a war hero who serves as the personal bodyguard to the Princess. The earl is far different than most of the nobles of the kingdom, Loved by those who live within his realm of rule.

Curant- A large mining city to the north. They have taken over the mines of the Dwarfs and have guilds that specialize in exploring the abandoned Dwarven cities.

Laralel- The Pearl of the Sea. Shrikanti founded this thriving port trade town. Taken in the war thirty years ago. It was the capital and jewel of their kingdom, Unlike most of their cities now, this city is one of the last with culture and their once beautiful architecture. It is now occupied by the Tricealians who have a large standing garrison there.

Shrikanti

Caella- One of their larger cities, their new capital.

Holy City of Macea- A place of worship, and the highest concentration of their witches. Men are not allowed in to the the heart of the city. Reserved only for the women of their faith.

Mountains Gate-A massive fortress built right in the pass of the mountain. Built hundreds of years ago to stop the Shrikanti from pushing further east.

Macea’s Oasis-A holy site to the Shrikanti, here they believe Macea took pity on their people when the grand river dried up for some unknown reason. Allowing the water hidden deep within the earth to come up, creating a massive oasis. They believe Macea lives within the depths of it. Shrikanti try to make a pilgrimage to this city a few times in their life.

The Jawbone mountain range- A massive mountain range that looked like a Jawbone at the end. Dwarfs used to inhabit these mountains. Thousands upon thousands of tunnels and cities remained abandoned.

Viva la Vida: The Price of Freedom (Closed)

The kingdom of Tricaelia, a powerful country, was the spearhead of the war on non humans 300 years ago, leading the different nations under one banner to eradicate the threat of being ruled by powerful elves, advanced dwarfs, and mystical faes.

The war was not only successful in driving the non-humans out of their lands but they succeeded in pushing the faes to extinction. After the war, the Tricaelians had peace for a while. But after some time, they began to turn on each other. The people now fearing the ones who still had magical powers...despite them being human as well.

Much knowledge of magic was lost during this time, there were burnings of books and mass executions up until only hundred years ago. At this time the current king allowed the return of magic under strict observation.

Though even till this day, magic users are feared and often discriminated against. Even within the court of Tricaelia. Only around non-humans could they be relieved from their discrimination in place of the non-humans becoming the targets.

Unlike the Tricaelians, the Shrikanti of the west held magic close within their culture, embracing the magic. This is one of the many reasons there is a constant tension between the two kingdoms.

The recent king rules with an Iron fist, cruel and unmerciful. He plans to expand his lands through what ever means necessary, taxing his people to fund his plans. Though the king may be unpopular because of this, he has made his kingdom strong and protects them from bandits and other kingdoms.

Rumors of a rebellion are quickly spreading, though no one knows by who or when it will happen. Even still, the rumors spread like wild fire, giving the people hope and fear.

Which are you?
Do you feel hope? Are you ready to fight for a better kingdom? A place without the discrimination it faces every day?
Or
Do you feel fear? Are you worried of losing your title? Your safety? The money you earn based off the way the kingdom is run now?
