This is a RP centered not on mighty battles, but on assassination, intrigue, power, politics, and betrayal. It is set in the continent of Mardol, in a universe of my imagination. The technology level is early rennaisance. So, without further ado, the plot.

In the troubled land of Mardol, the rich like in lavish wealth and the poor starve on the streets. The country is ruled by the vast Archonic Empire, a once great kingdom that is about to topple. The latest kings have been weak, and have given too much power to the governors and viceroys, so that now the cities rule themselves in all but name. The great city of Archon is the center of Imperial culture and power. There are many forces that would change the destiny of the city. The poor are banding together, and threaten to revolt inside the city. The royal families battle in a duel not of swords, but of daggers, poison, wits and spies. No one is safe, and inside the city, it is said the very walls have eyes.

The cities:

Archon: The greatest city of them all, with a large population. It is a city next to the river Daedeloth. It is the heart of the country, and the hotbed of everything, really. It has many labyrinthine passageways, deep cellars, and large caves known collectively as the Undercity. It's existence is known to few, it's secrets, to fewer. It connects almost every point in the city.

Styx: A large city, with a rather small population however. It is ruled by the Stygian Council. It is the home of many assassin guilds, and has a large branch of the Potioneers Guild.

Duskhold: A smaller city, though very powerful, as it the center of trade. It holds a near monopoly of trade, and is ruled by the powerful Merchant Princes.

Rethyr: A city built on a swamp, held up by rotting support beams. Rather queer city, with many strange peoples and cultures. A melting pot of lifestyles.

Arkenport: a city holy to the Cult of Chanthor. It is light, airy and elegant.

Ship's End: A rough den of pirates, privateers, and other men of the worst description.

Hellholt: A city built on a ancient volcano, sitting atop a mountain of obsidian. It is home to the powerful Ashlords, a dynasty of ambitious rulers who poisoned, murdered, and bought their way to power.

Factions and Religions:

The Imperials

The men hell bent on keeping the empire unified. Ruthless cut throats.
