Tales of Eyreseum - The False King

For those who wanted to know how far magic really goes in this world (as far as I have written), check this out:


And for those who have been wondering what my faceless land looks like, here is a lovely (work in progress) map:

There are grasslands on the in-between that divides Pine Forest (South) Ravenfell and Oak Forest (North) Ravenfell.
The mountains in north-east Ravenfell are known for their misty and sombre appearance, with only three notable settlements nestled within. The rest of the mountains are mystery that border on disappearing travellers and explorers getting lost in the mists. Only the more foolhardy bandits make their encampments in the misty mountains.
The red circle indicates where Arthroyeaux is, but I imagine we might use the rest of Ravenfell in this Roleplay, so I'm working on this map all the way through. I'll update it here when I add more.

Another note, if you guys enjoy world building, this is a sort-of "open-source" Roleplay, so if you want to make a contribution, like ideas for names or fun-facts, pop me a message and we can have a nerdgasm chat!

Tales of Eyreseum - The False King

Name:
Lamont DuFairre
Age:
19
Gender:
Male
Race:
Ravenfellan Breton

Weapons:
Lamont wields the DuFairre Rapier as his only weapon, which he keeps in a sheath of leather to hide the recognizable ornate blade that is decorated with inscriptions.
Equipment:
Lamont wears humble garments, which consists of a leather vest over a white cotton shirt, laced leather pants and boots.
Inventory:
Purse of gold and silver coins on his person, and in his horse's saddlebags he keeps hunting bow and arrows, cooking supplies, food rations, water, and medicines.

Appearance:
A young Ravenfellan man, Lamont has a light olive skin tone with a smooth complexion only dirtied by life in the countryside were baths are a pure luxury. He has a slight athletic build made up by years of farmwork and hunting, and also has little facial hair for his age. His hair colour is of a dark black tone, and his eyes are a hazelnut brown colour. He only bears a small scar on his arm from falling over on one of his hunts.

Background:
Heir to the DuFairre lineage, Lamont claims to be the legitimate and lost son of Vertreaux and Lindelle DuFairre.

Vertreaux had kept Lamont's birth a secret at the time his mother passed away after delivering her second and last son. Vertreaux thus sent Lamont away to be raised in a humble cottage far away from Arthroyeaux and it's complexities. With the servants who took the baby, he sent the DuFairre Rapier with him, to prove the son's birthright eventually. He made sure a replica was made so that everything went unnoticed by the nobles of court.

In the forests near Marceilles, Lamont was raised by the humble servants who wore the clothes of humble peasant farmers who were happily married. Lamont lived a quiet life, unknowing of his real father as the years went by.

Lamont mingled happily with the other peasant children in the village close-by. Lamont easily made friends, and attended school with the other children as soon as he was old enough.

Lamont later had visions of becoming a heroic chevalier, as he watched the local baron of the white and blue often ride by to patrol the countryside. Lamont would usually lean on the wooden fence to peer out and watch the shining knights ride off into the distance.

His foster parents learned of this, and called for a fencing trainer to attend to Lamont when he was 16. Lamont demonstrated an eager and foolhardy attitude in his learning, as well as bit of pure talent in wielding the rapier.

Some of the other boys in the village shared Lamont's enthusiasm for adventure, glory and renown, and would often have sparring sessions with him using pitiful sticks they found lying around. Every time, Lamont would demonstrate that he was the most able and skilled with wielding a one-handed weapon.

Two years had passed, and Lamont's fencing trainer finally acknowledged that he couldn't teach Lamont anymore, and that he was quite able and ready.

By that time, the news of the king's death had arrived, and the humble farmers realized what they had to do. They had sat down with Lamont that one night, and told him everything, about his birthright and his duty. It was a lot to take in, but Lamont was able to accept what was being put upon him. The servants passed on the DuFairre Rapier onto Lamont, and bowed before him.

Lamont had a purpose to fulfil, and he took his duty on more dutifully than an angel who purges evil. He confided in his closest friends, and they joined him in his 'quest' to reclaim the throne. After a few months of planning, gathering enough supplies and gaining the blessing of their parents, they set out as a party towards Arthroyeaux.
Personality:
Lamont is chivalrous and dedicated to helping those lesser than himself and others, being willing to take the fall for those around him. His parents often commented that he had the heart of a Chevalier. He is humble and modest, allowing others to speak and present their views before he speaks his own mind, and can make rational decisions. He is kind and caring to his friends, and honourable towards his enemies.

Job:
Prince
Skills:
Proficient at fencing with a rapier, Lamont can make swift and accurate cuts and stabs through the air, to the point where missing is almost only deliberate when he runs into lesser foes. He is able to disarm an enemy quickly, and move quickly around his foes. He is also capable of cooking his own meals and hunting with a bow and arrow, as well as riding a horse.
Traits:
Lamont is swift and precise with his rapier, able to take the right steps to not only evade an enemy but also disarm them at the same time. He is fairly agile
Magic:
None. Lamont doesn't demonstrate any magic potential.
Talent:
DuFairre Reversal - Lamont uses his graceful balance to turn the tide on an overbearing foe, letting the foe take the fall whilst drawing his blade through them. He can use this at anytime he holds a parry with an enemy.

Strengths:
Lamont's foolhardy and noble attitude towards any situation, he can maintain his cool in the face of stressful circumstances. Both his courageous and calm approaches inspire others around him.
Weaknesses:
Lamont's compassion for the poor and weak can not only lead him to being manipulated, but also can lead to him taking more injury for others than he should.

I'll let you tweak it then make my CS.Also yeah Shadowmancy was a gathering of a wierd type of Necromancy from a book I read, something from some other sources and I formed it to seem cohesive and fit into roleplays. This was something I typed up for a roleplay so yeah if it needs tweaked for your world do so.

Ah, I had no idea! I'm only familiar with it because Supremacy Kills had a Necro Character who had something similar. >w<
Regardless, I'll see what I can do and then post back here with what I get! :3

I always hate the system so this is easy for me :P

Ohoho, is that right? Well then. =3

Also Andre, not going to lie, I think this would be amazing to do on roll20. I really do,

I have considered at points to make a kind-of tabletop RP in Eyreseum, but that requires effort and I'm split up enough as it is. @_@
I see what you're getting at though, and I do agree. XD

Recommended Races (Will be added to!)

Races of Ravenfell

Ravenfell Bretons - Silver-Tongued men and women of the southern pine forests and low-lying mountains, the Ravenfell Bretons have an intricate knowledge and familiarity with the affairs of court and political matters, just like their cousins of Wesirinfell. However, unlike their more diplomatic relatives, these Bretons are more familiar with the arts of subterfuge, sabotage and stealth, and are not at all strangers to elaborately cunning plots and dishonorable deeds. However, the dirty laundry of the dishonest amongst them is hidden beneath fashioned facades they have learned to devise through their nobility and politics. On the surface, a stranger would never believe that Ravenfell Bretons could potentially be the most sly and deceiving of many, if not all, Humes. Otherwise, it is not uncommon to find Ravenfell Bretons that therein bear an affinity and resistance to magic, nor is it uncommon to find those who would take up the Flower of Chivalry, and they in Ravenfell who swear their oaths in fealty embody the glorious Chevaliers that are known to rival the Knights of Wesirinfell.

Ravenfell Argonian - Lizardmen of the muddy swamps, rivers and waterways of Ravenfell, they have developed a strong resistance to disease and poisons, and possess a keen sense of restorative and mystic magicks, as well as a descendant knowledge of herbs and plants in Ravenfell that can be used in medicinal and alchemical works. The Ravenfell Argonians are a mostly native and tribal people in the boundaries of Ravenfell, with many tribes bearing a more warlike and hostile stance towards people of the region due to the enslavement of many of their people during the Freydommen. Otherwise, the other tribes keep to themselves, and even try to foster goodwill with the Bretons of Ravenfell. Some Argonians may be found in the Hume cities and towns working as average cityfolk, but that is all they are. Most cityfolk Argonians are generally mistreated by the nobility of Ravenfell, and never really get higher in Bretonian Society. These Lizardfolk however have a good proficiency with spears, bows and other crude hunting weapons, and are most capable of camouflaging amongst the undergrowth. They can also breathe underwater and swim flawlessly in the deep rivers of Ravenfell. There is one thing that the Ravenfell Argonians can all agree on, and that is a longlasting feud with the "Crowpeople" or "Netixels" of Ravenfell.

Ravenfell Netixel (Credits to Xiga) - The "Crowpeople" of Ravenfell, Netixels are slightly more organized than Argonians, but are no less, if not more, exiled from Bretonian Society. The Netixels are unlike most other Beastmen races, as they have less bestial features than they do Hume, and sport a more "flat" than avian face. They have their own set of wings on their back, and are thus sometimes mistaken for "fallen angels". They gather in hidden communes far from the prying eyes of Bretonian people, and keep to themselves mostly. However, Netixels are known for their roguish and stealthy behaviour that befits the region they dwell in, as most Netixels hide amongst the pine trees and wait for unsuspecting travellers to pass by. They rob and steal from anyone who look like they are worth robbing, and are quite particular to shiny trinkets and food supplies. Because of this, Netixels are even more unwelcome than Argonians in Bretonian Society. In fact, they are not allowed to enter any city or town under Bretonian rule, and even if they visited outlying villages, the Bretonian peasants have half a mind to show the utmost contempt or even hostility towards Netixels. They are even disliked by fellow beastmen, the Argonians of Ravenfell, and have a longlasting feud with the Lizardmen.

Goblin - Ugly and orc-like gnomish creatures of Euraiya, the goblins are a race of crude, tribal and greedy nature, and live in a primal and territorial fashion across the southern mainland, not populating past the forests of the ethnocentric High Elves and watchful Wood Elves. The goblins of Euraiya mostly keep to themselves, only retaliating when disturbed. There are few larger goblin tribes who organize their war parties actively, raiding villages and, although seldom, sometimes assaulting whole towns. Goblins are assumedly as dumb as they are ugly, but it is actually on the contrary. Goblins are smarter than they smell and look, and prove their cunning through laying traps, ambushes and even planning organized raids on villages. A fair number of goblins even have magic potential, with said goblins becoming shamans of their tribes. However, due to the state and nature in which they live with hostility towards all else around them, they are viewed as beasts to be killed whenever they stray too close to civilization. Only a small few of the more intelligent and sentient-like goblins have the privilege of experiencing life amongst other races, and always after difficulty.

Jobs of Ravenfell

Chevalier - Bretonian Knights of Ravenfell who have sworn their oath to the Flower of Chivalry, and have taken arms in service of an order or a lord. The three most prominent Chevalier orders are: The Chevaliers Blanc, The Chevaliers Rosere, and The Chevaliers Evone. There are some Chevaliers who swear their oath but do not swear allegiance to a cause or lord, but instead roam Ravenfell to help the people, much like the Hedge Knights of Wesirinfell. These "Freelance" Chevaliers are repaid with a place to stay and food and supplies for their deeds. One thing that all Chevaliers have in common, whether they are Freelance or Servicesworn, is the oath they all took, and thus they follow the Code of Chivalry that all Knights and Chevaliers follow to the letter. However, being Ravenfell, there are a few Chevaliers who are involved in the dark underside of Ravenfell's politics and intrigues. And, like all Knights, it is forbidden for women to swear an oath to the Flower of Chivalry.
RESTRICTIONS = Ravenfellan Breton Male

Bard - Singing poets in their own right, the bards have a voice for singing songs. These songs are not ordinary, as they strengthen allies and weaken enemies. Each bard will have a totem instrument, given to them at the start of their initiation. Bards carry either daggers or blades to protect themselves.

Nightingale* - It is said that there are none more knowledgeable and omniscient of all things that happen within and close to Ravenfell than the birds of her native land. This is all the more true for the Nightingales, who play the eyes, ears and sometimes the claws of Ravenfell. This secretive sect of rogues who roam the regions within Ravenfell's borders collect intelligence and information on all goings and occurrences, maintaining a reputation that says, "nothing goes unnoticed within Ravenfell under the watch of the Nightingales". Not much about the Nightingales is common knowledge, even in Ravenfell, as they have extensive connections to people to ensure their order is kept a hidden secret. However, they are rumoured to be mostly comprised of fair maidens with silvery voices, often playing as songstresses and bards within taverns or courts. There is more to them than meets the eye, however, as they are professional at their craft of deceit and subterfuge, using disguises, shadows, poisons, daggers, and persuasion.
RESTRICTIONS = Ravenfellan Breton Male/Female

Courtier - The noble people of court, the courtiers are those who populate the hall of the local baron or, if famously privileged enough, the king himself. These courtiers learn the arts of speechcraft, elegance, appearance, diplomacy, and other courtly skills that prepare them for the affairs of court.
RESTRICTIONS = Ravenfellan Breton Male/Female

Beggar - Where ever there are nobles, there are also beggars, and Ravenfell has no shortage of poor people who roam the streets of even their most opulent settlements. They find becoming unnoticed the easiest of actions, and know the layouts of the cities and towns they roam very well.

Baron* -
RESTRICTIONS = Ravenfellan Breton Male

Nobleman /Noblewoman -

Scholar - Men of the cloth, but not necessarily of the faith, they study the wonders of the world created by divinity and endeavour to learn more about the history of the world, as well as the current state of everything. They are usually harmless men who need others to protect, and seldom are scholars actually women.

Guard - The backbone of any city is thought to be its commerce or people. But really it is the guards that protect it, ensuring the law is upheld and peace is kept. The guards are trained to use a sword and shield to protect the citizens and a bow and arrow to stop fleeing criminals. They have little to use it as the criminals mostly either pay the fine or go to jail. There are the few that resist arrest and may take a fair number to stop, but the guards do their duty.

Zealot - The most fiercely devoted of priests, the zealots are men of the cloth who have taken up the punishing weight of the grand mace to crush non-believers of the Divines.

Mage - Users of the arcane and magical arts, mages are scattered across Vana Diel to study and use the magicks of Vana Diel, as well as to combine and make their own. The idea of mages are split up into Wizards, Illusionists, Conjurors, Enchanters, Alchemists, Summoners, Mystics, Seers and so on. The many sub categories of the Mages are endless really, as is their magicks.

Priest - Bathing in the light of the divine gods, the priests appear to preach and provide their light. Usually seen with maces to protect themselves and a holy bible that has to do with the god they work for, priests belong to any faction that has to do with divine power, such as the Holy Church of Eradia. They use strong Light Magicks. They use pure Mystirica on it's own for their magicks.

Cleric - Healers and saviors of the people, clerics travel around Vana Diel to offer their aid to wounded people. They're extensive skill in healing and light magicks is matched only by the healers and priests of Vana Diel. Many Clerics wear the traditional healer's robes which has the insignia of the healer on the back. They use pure Mystirica on its own for their magicks.

Barbarian -

Rogue -

Scout - Scouts are very well trained in staying hidden and using light armour. They have skill in light one handed weaponry if they need to defend themselves. They have skills in acrobatics and athletics to allow for fast motion and jumping around the landscape.

Spy - Agents of the Royalty, Nobility, or anybody else who has the coin and influence to hire them, spies are stealthy individuals who serve their masters with a loyalty that only coinage can inspire.

Nightblade -

Necromancer - Practitioners of the art of Necromancy, the Necromancers are viewed as dominantly malevolent mages who must be purged through divine fire and light. It is often said that nothing good comes from disturbing the dead from their peaceful slumber. Necromancy is a little more prevalent in the dominion of Ravenfell, the place of its origin. Whether the practitioners are evil or benign, it does not matter, as the High Church of Ravenfell outlaws such practices.

Dragon Knight* - The Sacred Order of men and women who have sworn their lives in service of the Dragon-Gods and Divines, they await the day that the Ending arrives upon Eyreseum, to which they prepare to fight with all their might to stem the onslaught of demons and eventually slay the Demon Sovereign to end the apocalypse. Dragon Knights have established orders across Eyreseum, with chapter houses in most cities and towns. The Fully Fledged Dragon Knights will have the blood of dragons coursing through their veins, possessing powers that are a far-cry from the full capabilities of real dragons, such as dragon breath or constitution, an acute perfect comprehension of time. They also come in decorated armour with whatever weapons they favour or possess skill in.

Sword Singer* - The Elven Art of Sword Singing is still a rare sight in Ravenfell, as fully fledged Sword Singers seldom travel to the province of secrecy. Those who do are fully prepared to trust nobody, and always sleep with their backs against their swords, always vigilant and prepared to fight. Sword Singers are a sect of magic-users who channel their magic through voice and blade, using emotions to strengthen their power. They are also fully trained in using a sword which is held dear to their hearts.
RESTRICTIONS = Elves
