[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 342018, member: 4790"] [b]uberlame[/b] 1. a world dominated by colonization and rebuilding, where magic and religion struggle against one another to decide the future after a terrible epidemic has forced the settling of a new continent. 2. heroes are those bold enough to settle new lands or search for their original homeland. true heroes are chosen by the church to set off across the great divide in search of home, and a way to restore it. 3. heroes attempt to map and settle new lands, or head out in search of their cultures original home. mounts must be aquired from the fertile plains occupied by the 6 "uncivilized tribes, treaties must be made the humanoids of the new world and the lands surrounding maissen and the desert coast must be explored 4. the theocracy of maissen has led the people to peace and prosperity, at the cost of speedy advances and is threatened by the power hungry mages of the desert coast. one year after landing the newly founded mages guild split from the religious leadership, seeing magic as the only resolution to the challenges of the new world. 5. magic arises from the desires of the populace. those intelligent enough to understand it, or wwith the power of personality to harness it benefit the most from it. in the desert coast wizards are abundant and encouraged, while magic in maissen is rarer and belongs mostly to sorcerers who gaurd their knowledge, keeping it secret for fear of repraisal 6. two hundred and fifty years ago a terrible epidemic struck the homeland while its three princes sailed in dearch of gifts to gain favor with their father. as a lat ditch effort to save their entire culture, these three and their retinues were sent off course by the kings mages and ushered through magical winds to a new world. as this world is settled by only a few hundred from the homelands, the world is dominated by halfbreeds. racial purity is used along with religion to subjugate the masses. many adventurer wait in nearly uncharted lands and those who prove themselves through exploration are most likely to be funded and blessed by the church on a quest to find home. the new lands are sparsely populated by the standard humanoid races and the 6 "uncivilized" tribes(so named by the new settlers). horses and other domesticated animals are still in short supply, and the major architecture of the world is still being built. as the three princes sought a foot hold for civilization an argument erupted amongst them, causing the mage voulkos to stike down his brother kalin. in response, fedspar, the cleric of pelor, cast out voulkos and his retinue, and they went on to found the magocracy of the desert coast which is still stuggling secretly to overthrow the kingdom of the fair fedspar. this is one of the drafts at least....just to give a flavor of the submission :) [/QUOTE]
