"I always knew they were something special. It takes a fine eye for talent to get to my position, you know. Mind you, no one knew at the time just how big the storm clouds were brewing. Maybe the skyseers, but they didn't tell no one."
The year is 500AOV. Seven years have passed since the Fourth Yerasol War ended in defeat for the nation of Risur. Her lands remain largely intact, and under the rule of king Aodhan, she has began to take on the technological trappings of her historical foe Danor. Risur's traditional allies, the fey of the Unseen Court, are not impressed.
New technology, firedust and steam power drive change and extend the influence of the nations of Lanjyr. Growing power leads to growing influence, and a decade ago king Aodhan ordered the formation of the Royal Homeland Constabulary. The RHC works to root out, undermine, capture, and if necessary kill any groups who endanger Risur.
From within the ranks of the RHC step five constables who will help shape the changing of the world, the spirit of the age, the :
Erik Pride, a battle-scarred war hero trying to juggle a wife, a child on the way, and a stress-filled job. Erik has served with the RHC for over five years, and is viewed by his superiors and by most of the PCs as the leader of the group. But Erik has seen to many dead, experienced too much war, to be happy in that role. [Human Thief, pistol-focused]
Cassi, a young woman raised in the military. Cassi is plain of face but strong of arm. Cassi served in the Fourth Yerasol War as a runner, and missed most of the fighting. Two years ago, she was transferred to the RHC and came under Erik's wing. She looks to the older veteran for validation. [Human Knight]
Thornt, a youth barely out of his teens, but possessed of special talents that have brought him to the attention of the RHC. The most bestial in appearance of the constables, but also perhaps the most innocent. Thornt is the newest member of the group, but quickly proved both his own impulsiveness and the value of keen senses.[Razorclaw Shifter swarm Druid]
Willheim Graff, a blue-skinned immortal currently serving the RHC for the fourth time. Willheim, with his centuries of life experience and long service with the RHC, begrudges Erik his leadership - especially since Erik was present at (and failed to prevent) Willheim's last death. Despite that, the deva cannot help but like his leader. Willheim shows great respect for Cassi's martial proficiency. [Deva centred breath Monk]
Tok, the face of the group and a seemingly bottomless well of bravado and pride. A true Wild Card. Tok served his probation under Erik when he joined the RHC. Knowing Tok's obsession with puzzles, the older man gifted him with a puzzle box upon his graduation two years ago, and Erik is proud to know that Tok has not yet solved it. Or so he thinks. [Changeling Bard]
The world is changing, and these five constables will soon find themselves in the centre of the maelstrom.
