The Age of Iron

Awesome compliment

@Undying Curiosity

Thank you so much! I'm sure this will be a great game!

The Age of Iron

So I just went ahead and launched it. We can take it slow in the beginning, to allow for latecomers and strays to join in before we get the story rolling.

The Age of Iron

The bloody steppe, the badlands, the wild country. People have many names for it, but in the tounge of the native Taniwhans it is called Koraha. It is seemingly endless place, stretching from the Maunga mountain range in the frozen north to the high peaks of the Tokas in the sweating south, divided only by the great river Awa which tears through the neverending leagues of grassland like a great ugly scar. It is the home of many forms of life, both beast and people, and has stood witness to the rise and fall of many civilizations. Dotted through the landscape are the great ruins of the ancients, foremost of which are the great skybridges that run uninterrupted from north to south in great arches, hundreds of feet above ground. Below rages the bloody struggle of everyday life; beast eats beast, beast eats man, man eats beast and, in some cases, man eats man. It is a dangerous place, no doubt, but also a free place. It is said that even in the time of the ancients, Koraha was much the same as it is today. Undisturbed, pure wilderness.

It sure feels that way to you.

For one reason or another, you are here. Here in this, the very heart of the wild, an eternity away from the cities and civilizations of the rest of the world. How you got here is a story of its own, but the story of what you did here is just beginning.

---

It has been days since you last saw anyone else, beside distant herds of wild horses and other creatures. Days since you last spoke. Then suddenly, as you were about to call it a day and make camp for the night, you see something. High upon a hill in the distance you see a light, perhaps from a fire. It is not too long a way away to reach before darkness envelops the land. You can't make out the details from here, so there might be anything there from a lone wanderer like you, to a dozen bloodthirsty Taniwhans. The question is if you will risk the dangers for the possible reward of company.

Nice to see your characters this far. I'm torn between launching the game now or waiting for more players. Your thoughts on the matter?

@Gate Keeper@Undying Curiosity

Accepted!

The Age of Iron

This rp sounds rather interesting, I think I might just drop a CS here. Of course that is if you are still accepting characters.

@Kindos

I am, as a matter of fact. Go ahead and drop it :)

The Age of Iron

@athanshadow

Accepted (for the record, we already discussed this via PM)

The Age of Iron

Question: aside from the Taniwahns, are there any fantastic races in this (e.g. elves and dwarves and their ilk)?

@Komamisa

There are.

@Kingfisher

A fine character, accepted!

The Age of Iron

Maybe the archer-fellow isn't all that keen on going back to the feudal tyranny? ;)

@Gisk
