SETTING: A mythical world call Algoria in what we would call medieval ages. Starts in the middle of a thick forest close to a rebel camp. Eventually the rp will make its way to the Plandin Plains for the final battle.

PLOT: In the beginning the Duke of Iliad, Galias, who was the cousin of the king, was power thirsty. He did not care for the people or their needs but simply to have things run his way and to enjoy the luxuries of royalty. The king at the time did not have any brothers or heirs so if he died Galias would be king. However, he could not simply kill him because his lands were on the other side of Algoria. If the king died while he was visiting, naturally, the court would become suspicious. The matter was easily resolved when he hired Ethen, the Queen’s handmaiden and who was also in love with Galias, to pour poison into the King’s ear as he slept each night. As he died, Galias was crowned as the king. Galias, has been ruling for thirty years. Ethen, who is by nature sweet and quiet, serves him still. In that time, he has severely oppressed his people. Taxes are high, rules are strict. If he captures one who opposes him they are quartered and drawn then starved to death. He disposes of anyone who is a threat to him. To keep villagers from sneaking off at night, he has released his minions, the Nocturn, into the forest. He is relocating or exterminating several magical races. He takes 90% of the peasants’ harvest. While he sits at banquet, his people starve. His subjects are abused by his soldiers. The people have become divided. Rebels have started camps deep within the forests of Algoria. There they are gathering an army of farmers and blacksmiths. But many also remain dedicated to the King hoping to be rewarded for their loyalty. The Nocturn search for these rebels, the loyalists feud with the defiant ones, and some of the magical creatures are beginning their own plans for war. A revolution is about to break out. In this mass of confusion, where do you stand?

RACES:

Humans: I hope this one is self explanatory.

Elves: I hope everyone here knows what an elf is too. Pointy ears, mysterious, live in the woods. They can only die if they are poisoned or wounded with a weapon. If you are an elf you may chose from these powers: foresight, mind communication, controlling plants, or talking with animals.

Vritch: Only two spots left. A Vritch is a powerful and rare race. They are hunted down by Galias, who hopes to obtain their secrets. They are half human, half witch. They look human except they have purple eyes and usually white or light hair. Vritch can make potions, scry, telekinetic, and a number of other things. If you join as a Vritch, I will tell you your main powers.

Nocturn: Only 3 spots left. The Nocturn are deadly creatures of the night. They have two forms. Their daylight form is humanlike with dark eyes, dark hair, olive complexion, with a devil’s tail and usually wearing dark clothing. Their night form is similar to the creatures off of Tomb Raider: the Cradle of Life. They are large but fast creatures that appear to have dark leathery skin, almost like a cross between a large cat and a reptile. They have a large jaw of razor sharp teeth and they can hide inside their surroundings. E.i. they can become part of the tree and then come out in their form. However, they can only see you if you are moving. They hunt the forests at night, seeking out the rebels.

Centaurs: bottom half is horse, top half is human. No useful magical abilities but a good eye. They are fast and are particularly good at archery.

Dragon: I think most of us know what a dragon is

Planis: A cat-like creature. They have tails, fangs, and their nails extend, becoming claws, and then retracts. They have sharp smelling senses, good balance, and great agility. For the most part they resemble humans but they can have unusual eye and hair colors.

Nymph: Beautiful elfish creatures. The most popular is a forest nymph but there are such things as nymphs controlling other elements. They love causing mischief. They use their powers by singing. Each Nymph has a certain element.
-Forest Nymphs: control plants and can communicate with animals. If they have enough training, they may transform into trees or animals.
-Water Nymphs: Can control small quantities of water. They live in rivers and lakes and very rarely do they come on dry land. But when they do they can use the moisture in the air.
-Fire Nymphs: Can control or create small quantities of fire. Generally live in hotter regions.
-Air Nymphs: These nymphs can control dust devils or small gusts of wind. But their main power is the ability to become wind or air.

GEOGRAPHY OF ALGORIA

PLACES/ LANDFORMS:
Summer Sea: the ocean surrounding Algoria
Eldenswell: One of the largest forests in Algoria. It starts in the Great Valley and goes into the Appaline Mountain Range
-White Leaf: The main rebel camp hidden in Eldenswell
-Cutthroat: A second camp a few miles east of White Leaf
-Sinel: Small fief on the edge of Eldenswell
Appaline Mountain Range: The largest mountain range in Algoria.
-Iliad: formerly Galias’s fief, now is large mountain village
-Snow Camp: A rebels’ camp hidden on one of the mountain’s summits
-The Black Mountain:Stands at the very end of the Appaline Mountain Range, surrounded by dark woods and smoke rises from three spots on the mountain side. Many have speculated this, but have come to believe that it is the work of dwarves. The black mountain has a reputation that people have gone missing around it as, if the earth has swalloved them and is avoided by many. In the shadowy caverns of the mountain a greedy being prepares along with his armies to strike.
The Plandin Plains: a large flat Northwest region of meadow that extends for miles and miles and takes a good five days to cross.
-Silcen: Capital of Algoria on the edge of the Summer Sea. Carved into one of the small mountains. The palace and fort are on a cliff face looking over the port below.


BODIES OF WATER/RIVERS

The Moon Mirror: A small pool of water that never dries up and is hidden in Algoria. It is considered a mere fairytale among humans but it is a strong belief in magical races. In this pool you can see your reflection perfectly. Those with foresight can see the future or scry in it. And if it chooses, it may show your destiny.

Lagthen River: The main water source running through Algoria. It starts on the shore near Eldenswell then runs through small forests and into the Appaline mountains.

The Crescent Tributary: A small tributary that runs from the Lagthen river. It provides water for both the White Leaf Camp and the Cutthroat Camp.

Xinel River: This is the only river that goes through the Plandin Plains. It starts in the Appaline Mountains and then runs to the Summer Sea near Silcen.

The Black Mountain Symbol</center>

History:

Kharandros was born as perhaps not the strongest, but most certainly as the most cunniest of his siblings as there were 6 of them. He never gave much credit to them nor did he care for them, as he was old enough he left to live alone. He chose a dark mountain by the name of Athandroc located at the end of the Appaline Mountain Range, surrounded by dark forests where the creatures of the night lurked. In time he gathered immense wealth and began to build his power, he was quiet well aware of what happened in the kingdom trough his spies yet stayed in the shadows. He was angered by the fact as he heard that dragon were hunted like some other races, one by one his siblings and mother fell in the hands of adventurers, mercenaries and other groups eventually. But that was nothing compared to the advantage this new king gave him.

The change of power and the cruelness that it created only served the purposes of Kharandros as to drove humans into his service or to the rebels. He has not made a clear agenda yet, but it seems that he is preparing for something. He has gathered humans, orcs, half orcs and even dark dwarves into his service. Around and inside Athandroc he has created a vast network on tunnels, his dwarven smthies create weaponry for his armies, ruthless training goes on in the dark halls of Athandroc and his influence grows. His people have began to call the whole power, the black mountain as the mountain as seemed to darken and their lord is referred as the `black one`. Kharandros waits in the dark caverns of his mountain, waiting for his time to come as his armies prepare....
