@idlehands-I'm sorry to lose you, idlehands.

Bloody hell, y'all are fast when it comes to this stuff.

Out of curiosity @AmongHeroes, how much can we play around with the Knightly traits or are they set in stone? For instance I was wondering if the Lion's Roar could be retrofitted - fluff wise mostly of course - into something akin to Joan D'Arc only more . . . motherly, for the lack of better words. I apologize for not having the most concrete words to describe it but I was thinking over the possibility of creating a female Knight that utilizes that trait to something resembling Joan's reputation / romanticized "aura" if it makes any sense.


The manifestation of this trait is probably the most ambiguous of those I listed. I think it would be appropriate for you to have it as you described. Just please keep in mind that there really is no magical "aura" or ethereal aspect to this trait.

@Zendrelax-Nicely done. Accepted.

@Gowi-Also very well put together. Your theme reminds me of someone...hmmm...Accepted.


A Note Upon Setting and Historical Relevance


So there have been a couple people express concern over the timeline of the RP, and how it relates in representation to the true era in which the Arthurian legend is to take place. For all intents and purposes, our story can be viewed as taking place in the heart of the medieval period--think chivalry, plate armor, longbows, heraldic crests, great castles and cathedrals, etc.

Almost every representation of Arthur, from Disney movies, to books like The Once and Future King, express Arthur and his legend outside of historical veracity. This RP is simply for enjoyment, and scratching the itch I've had of doing an RP with great knights, vile villains, and an air of magical wonder.

I hope this clears things up for everyone. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
Are we going for Arthur the welsh warlord or Arthur from Mallory here? Tone wise I mean


We're going for Arthur, the just, righteous king and savior of the Britons. Think of the Lancelot/Grail cycle as a basis.
@icmasticc-Don't let her rush you. She'll grow power hungry.
@Rockette-Your recruitment prowess is without equal.
@icmasticc-I'd be glad to have you.
Quick question before I start working on a character: I don't think it will be a big deal, considering the plate armour I've been seeing, but how strictly if at all are we avoiding anachronism stew here? Mainly in regards to styles of combat that did not exist in the 5th and 6th centuries (Sword and dagger fighting, etc.) considering if we went away with ALL anachronisms then there'd be a slight problem with including knights (8th century) or jousting (high middle ages) at all.

I suppose the question sorta resolved itself as it went on. Anything short of gunpowder era arms/tactics goes I assume?


If you're worried about historical accuracy, this is not the RP for you.
@Clumsywordsmith-A great read. Definitely accepted.
@Rockette-Beautifully done. Accepted!
@RisenDead-Well done. Accepted.
