The Raiders of Norn

Premise

On the shore of the Sea of Gales lies the port town of Brighthaven. Although its official name sounds pleasant enough, you would get another idea of the place once you heard the natives names for it; Bloodhaven or Thief Town being among the more popular ones. It is a big, wild place, full of people of all sorts of questionable occupations and backgrounds. It is not a place for the weak of heart. Living here is risking everything, but still people flock to the place like flies to freshly spilled faeces. Why, you might ask? Because of Norn, that's why.

Just a days travel north of the city lies the great forest of Morkador, and within it, the ruins of ancient Norn. Norn was once the capitol of the Nornum empire, a realm of great power and influence which fell to an unknown catastrophy over a thousand years ago. Although a long time has passed since then, and despite the numerous expeditions into the dark woods, the place is still teeming with treasure. Gold, jewels, silver, and foremost of them all: magical artifacts.

Magic is rare nowadays. Some say it is leaking out of the world. Others say that the art has simply been lost to time. Whatever the case may be, the fact of the matter is that the most potent, and valuable, pieces of enchanted goods can be found only in this place. But delving into Morkador is not without risk.

In fact, most expeditions into the dark forest end up as failures, or are never heard from again. The woods hold all sorts of nasty surprises for the unwary and expert traveller alike; beasts, ghosts, bandits and other adversaries haunt the ruins of old Norn, and have proven a daunting challenge even for the most illustrious of adventurers.

But still they come, from near and far, and for every imaginable reason. Its a great gamble, with your life at stake, but the treasures of Norn and the promise it brings just might be worth the dangers of Morkador.

Hiya folks and welcome to The Raiders of Norn!

This is an adventure game in which we play as treasure hunters looking to make a fortune, or a name, or both, from extracting valuable items from the ruins of old Norn, hidden inside the dark forest of Morkador. 

You will have great liberties with character creation, and the story will be fast paced and dark, but light hearted. My only two demands concerning your characters is that they're A) desperate for some reason, and B) that they're just as weak as they are strong. It's a fantasy game, so feel free to play anything you like within that spectrum. Just don't get too weird.

There's no pre-made character sheet, as I trust you can make one perfectly fine on your own.

Questions and applications for interest below, as usual.

Looking forward to a great game!
