Above is the map of Faerundale, a medieval era kingdom surrounded by forests and open farming fields. The world is a complicated place, and simply put, this kingdom is the only one for more than 10days horse ride in any direction. Most people in Faerundale are born here, and die here of old age, never seeing much outside their massive walls. The dark forest that looms to the edge is inhabited by horrendous sorts of monsters, creatures, ghouls.. Strange things come from that forest at times, creatures the humans that inhabit the city aren't so sure about.
The royalty of Faerundale are fair, the queen is beautiful and kind, and her husband the king is strong, he rules with an iron fist, but he does so right. They royals have a young son, about age 11, and plan on not having other children in the future. There is a large amount of guards around the city, the upper class district is usually inhabited by 1-3 of them, the inner walls of the castle are always crawling with them, the peasant district is left to fend for itself, and the main gathering area outside the orphanage usually has a few since the barracks are nearby.
Races available to play as:
HumansElvesHigh ElvesDwarvesHalflingsGnomesAasimarTieflingAs well as any gods listed on the Faerun Wiki there where you see I've gotten my races from, you may use in character, basically, if it's on that Wiki it's pretty much in character, go for it : )
However, though yes that is D&D lore, we're not using roles, this is just regular roleplay, it's all for fun and enjoyment!
==============================================IC==============================================
The streets of Faerundale are busy, carts going by, peasants walk to and fro doing their daily routines. The occasional noble passes as well, guards stay by their posts and children run amock and cause trouble as they please, with their mothers chasing after. It's a normal, casual life in the city, the royals live in their castle, the peasants in their little wooden houses. The tavern is almost always busy, guests going in and out at all hours of the day. Anything could happen, day or night, and we must all be ready for it..
