It has been 100 years since the free peoples of Talanar fell under the rule of Alastor. Once he was a wandering sorcerer in these lands, no one knew his past and his origins. He travelled from town to town, gaining followers and sowing the seeds of discord between Talanar’s free nations. Blinded by their quarrels they couldn’t perceive the growing threat in the person of the mysterious mage. He managed to gather enough followers to assemble an army to conquer Talanar. Having realized Alastor’s true intentions, the remaining free nations of Talanar formed an Alliance against him, but it was already too late. Alastor’s army seized one by one each town, creating the Great Empire. Alastor proclaimed himself High Emperor.


Trough the years Alastor expanded the borders of the Empire, undertaking war campaigns beyond the Emerald Seas. Even the legendary Silver cities, considered as the birthplace of the Deck of Foresight, couldn’t withstand the Empire’s might. Now, despite prospering trade relations between the conquered cities, the Empire is weakened by constant wars. Rumours of an ancient prophecy shake the foundations of Alastor’s authority. A party of rebels that escaped from convict’s mines in the Grey Mountains, led by the former High Priestess of the House of Light Dirael, has gathered in the ancient desert of Sintar, searching for the Lost Book of the Fallen. It has been foretold that with this book Alastor’s rule will be brought to an end. But the High Emperor does not plan to give up on his domination so easily. Now he sends his most trusted servants – Biara, High Priestess of the House of Shadow, and Marbas - Supreme General of the Dark Squad, to crush the rebellion.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yay, it’s a RP. :D It’s been a while since I’ve role played and I’ve missed it very much. :) I came up with this RP few days ago while I was reading. Well, now let’s give some more details around the plot:

Races of the Great Empre:
- Humans – people of Talanar
- Dryads (Ancients) – people of the Silver Cities with remarkable lifespan

The Emperor’s Army:
- Front-line Soldiers (Offensive) – swordsman, archers, cavalier
- Priests (Mages) – sorcery; Prophets of the Deck of Foresight
- Order of Assassins – spies (elite force)
- Dark Squad – The Emperor’s personal guard (elite force)

The Deck of Foresight
- House of Light: King (Healer), Queen (Dreamer), Mage, Knight, Swordsman
- House of Shadow: King (Death), Queen (Nightmare), Lich, Dark Knight, Skeleton Warrior
Here I’d like to say a few words about this Deck of Foresight and the Priests. It’s like the Tarot-cards: each Priest, a.k.a each Mage, has such deck and he or she can make some predictions based on the drawn cards. (No, they can’t predict the future, they just try to read the signs they receive through the cards.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I May join. But I was wondering, how many characters are we allowed, and is this based on a book?

If you can manage more than one character it's completely ok. :)
Well the plot was kinda inspired by Steven Erikson's books. Some motives are from his Malazan Book of the Fallen. (wow I just realized that the title of the RP resembles the book title . :blink: That was not my intention. :lol:)

Whatever you choose, both sound good to me - they will fit the plot perfectly.

Btw, the other characters are also free to take. :)

Ok, I will be doing my Bios now.

As for the other characters, I'm rarely good with Canon, I'm better if I do my own histories and personality's.

Here they are.

Name: Selene
Age: 24
Race: Human
Occupation: Rebel
Appearance: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/e ... ogueX3.jpg , http://i00.rnhh.de/eu/shared-images/fil ... -large.jpg .
History: Selene was born on a full moon. She grew up in a small town. At the age of 4 a group of the Emperors men came through, believing the town hid rebels, and ordered the men to bring the rebels out. None did because there were no rebels hiding there. So the Emperors men ransacked the town, killing and burning everything. They entered her home, killed her father and did horrible things to her other family members (I won’t say what). She was witness to it, and almost a victim herself, and being so young and traumatised she ended up with some hair going white that day. As she grew up with who remained, she learned to defend herself using her father’s tools, a farmers tools, and his dagger/knife. She also learned the different herbs, and what they can do, even the once that can kill. And although she works with men, she still doesn’t trust most, and fears their touch. She ended up joining the rebels at age 18 after her mother died, she being the only one unmarried, looked after her.
Weapons: Boa Staff, 2 hand scythes, and a dagger/knife.

Name: Keira/Kira
Age: appears 30
Race: Human/Dryad
Occupation: Member of the Order of Assassins for the Emperor
Appearance: http://imstars.aufeminin.com/stars/fan/ ... 0009_L.jpg
History: Nothing is known about her origins. It is rumoured that she might be a Dryad who was cast out, exiled with no memory of who she is. There are reports of a woman who looks like her throughout history. Her real name is unknown but the first time she killed she was called Kira, she thought this was her name so she went by Keira Since. She currently works for the Emperor but really for Biara, whom she started working for since the woman took her position of power. She has confidence, except when she is face with the Dryads, they make her nervous and doubt.
Weapons: Throwing daggers, knife, poisons, thin rope, and needles, also a touch of magic that shows once in a blue moon when she is in danger.

Yups, their bios are very well thought out. :)

Well, if you want we can get started? I'll take the role of Lethos also. We can both use the remaining characters if needed.

But others are free to join us any time. :)
