Perils of Xepreath

Xepreath is a relatively young planet. And in its youth, it is an unharnessed land, possessesing a vast, unbridled well of magic. Said magic can be held accountable for the creation of man itself, and all their ilk. It is said that Xepreath's magic is so great that even the gods, and beings of similar power, were drawn to the planet from far and wide.

Yet, what may appear to be a blessing is not always so. Alongside such raw power comes a seemingly ungovernable arcane chaos. Said chaos has been the plight of man since its inception. And the only reason they have managed to survive thusfar is due to the natural ebb and flow of such energies - the lulls in the magical fluxes during which they can recover.

But the lulls seem to be.. shortening. The fluxes are changing - increasing in power. Among many things, these fluxes are tearing at the borders that seperate one plane from another - causing other planes to seep into ours and vice-versa. Rifts are opening. Things are warping, changing. Over the last two decades, this has become the worry of every nation of Xepreath: What will become of us if this isn't held at bay?

Lonthinn Empire - The most industrially-progressed and militarily-structured nation of Xepreath. Holds negative views on the other nations and is pretty much hostile to them, at least in unofficial capacities. Heavily-forested, temperate lands.
Xernoa - A sizable but mostly barren land, with patches of prairies. Mostly reclusive, but holds a strong governmental face.
Allyanik - A partially-untamed scape of land with colder northern territory, and warmer southern territory. Has solid military presence despite non-ideal geographical circumstances.
Scithia - A region wartorn by the magical fluxes of Xepreath. Its governmental and societal structures are very weak, and the northern portions of the nation are flooded with beasts from the magical rifts of the Mallaene Mountains. The region is rain-forested to the north, and tropical to the south, and the region's heavy rains rarely cease.
Tembloran Coalition - A swampy and unconquerable landscape, the land of the Tembloran Coalition - which takes in refugees of societal prejudice - is largely unapproachable. It is headed by ousted races like Lizardfolk, Thri-keen, and Goblinoids - but the large continent-island to the east is held tightly by the more fey-aligned peoples.

Lehtal - An ancient and, simply, unresponsive god. Most of the Lonthinn Empire worships this Deity. Domains are Faith and Obedience. Lawful Good.
Runaish - A wise but young-in-soul god that holds a loose sense of benevolence. Founder of The Red Wraiths. Presiding over the Domain of Balance. Chaotic Good.
Algonne - A, fittingly, chaotic and care-free god-creature of unknown origin. Widely disliked by those of Xepreath, and even the other gods. Domain is Chaos. Chaotic Evil.

More TBD by us!

Some years ago, the nations, aside from the Lonthinn Empire, embraced a group of brave wanderers who appeared from seemingly nowhere and called themselves 'The Red Wraiths'. In truth, The Red Wraiths were simple followers of Runaish. In Runaish's desire to stifle the imbalance of Xepreath, he sought to reach out to some of those who would listen - and grant some of them his blessings.

But over time, the Red Wraiths were diluted, in a sense. No longer are they all reverers of Runaish - although many of them are, considering his benevolent nature - they are now partly just travelers of capability. The nations promote the Red Wraiths as the glue that strains to hold Xepreath together - and in a sense, they are right. The nations of Xepreath would surely be in a worse place without them.

The Red Wraiths have one job, but it's one very important job: Stem the wounds which are opened by Xepreath's chaotic magical spills, providing reprieve to anyone they can. They serve as a form of reserve-force, scattered about the world of Xepreath, ready to act at a moment's notice.

We stand among the Red Wraiths. We are one of a couple dozen squads amongst their numbers, and whether we joined due to a calling from Runaish, or because we just wanted to help, or because we owe a debt to specific people, we're here. And we answer the Red Wraith's call.

Hello there, my friends!
Welcome to what I hope will become a great collaborative masterpiece that tells a tale of a group of fuckos who actually managed to do something good despite all the bullshit that they got themselves into.

I've been wanting to scrape up enough inspiration to do something of a DnD game of my own making, and it seems here I am! Except, I don't want it to just be my own. That can be a bit boring sometimes, don't you think? So, I'm bringing it out in the open so I can make something great with a few others, hopefully. Let's build this world up together!

I'm looking for about 5-8 players, including myself, for this RP - and it is an RP. I often feel that tabletop projects on the guild are less rp and more action-y, but I like a healthy mix of both, as the tags and theming might suggest. I'm keeping the information very simple to start out - mostly because I am welcoming new players to DnD, of which I have one interested already. Your ability to RP and write are much more important than your leet dnd skillz.

But uhh, yeah, I don't want to ramble too long or give a big textwall, so here is me checking for interest!
Below I'll include some rules and a sheet, simply to weed out those who may not like the style. So, let's see who's in, shall we?

Standard guild rules. Don't be a prick :P
GM word is final, of course, but that does not mean rulings are not to be questioned. I'll let you know when discussion is closed<3
You don't have to use my sheet(the coding is kinda a mess), but you must include all the info on it.

This will probably be a jumbled list in no particular order.
House rules/Custom rules
Wizards of the Coast™ official content only, unless otherwise specified. I can be persuaded if it isn't absurd.
In character creation you can either take your classes' recommended equipment, or start with 50gp and purchase gear yourself.
More TBD

Other rules
Our characters start at level 3.
For rolling, we do 4d6-minus-lowest. You can retry for a different array once. If you have questions, ask. Roll using the site's rolling system, link the rolls.
Racial bonuses go to any ability score you want, as per Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
More TBD.
