Board Thread:Random RP/@comment-26237442-20160418154227

the wind tugs at sodden banners as it howls and wails flinging it's load upon the mortals below. Under a grey and dead sky the crowd gathers in a solemn manner, unusual for a hanging. Yet by all accounts this hanging was most unusual indeed for who would expect so honourable a lord to harbour thoughts of treason? yet treason was the word on all toungues by the wretched scaffold.

"on this day lord Winterbourne is to be hanged in accordance with the laws of the Gods and men by order of his majesty the king! this man carries the charges of murder, conspiracy, and high treason the punishments for which are death by hanging. the accused has been tried and found guilty in full court and should anyone say otherwise let them speak now" no one did, it was purely customary "Winterbourne you may now address the croud as a man about to die have you anything to say?"

Winterbourne, a serpentine kind of man nodded curtly and seemed about to speak unto the people gathered below, instad he shouted one word and chaos sprouted from that word like a fountain, that word was "NOW"

this RP starts with what appears to be the black knights of vulgharn pouring into Cathlea market square and rescuing a condemed man. in this adventure RP you will all start at the sight of this hanging without any foreknowledge of these events and must react as such, you may not have an, army, entourage or large amount of property to your name. you may be a magic user or knight or whatever else so long as there aren't too many of these people in the RP already please make a new character to fit the lore and one that will be compatible with a quest style RP (no villains please although you may be an antihero should you so desire)

LORE

''The circle of stuhn is one of the most ancient sites known to man, willder or even demon, it's creation lost in time immemorial the circle remains as a symbol of ancient power and focus of thaumic energy. the Stuhnmen are a stranger people still, with minds that are near inconprehensible to even the most skilled soul-seeker, and riddles that a even a bard would be unable to solve.''

''Yet even things of ancient years and magical power come under threat and across Avidita, Cathleon and Vulgharn a great evil is rearing its ugly head. And some march to greet it. As fear of the Black Hand Cult grows Shal'vor's minions seem utterly undetectable... except in one place Ravenstead...''

this will be a custom lore character based RP with basis in high fantasy. I'd like it if everyone could make new characters for it and that they don't bring any more than 3 new people into the group, please do not split up too much as DD and I are trying to keep a running narative.

Magic works as such.

''As well as the normal energies, heat, light, movement etcetra a true practitioner of the arcane will know of the spirit land and the four true energies, ectoplasmic for all that is dead yet not so, Thaumatic for that which exists upon the spirit plane like a human mind and maletic and benetic which are the opposing forces of positive and negative. A mind is an entity on the spirit world and is made up of maletic or benetic energy which can then be transfered into thaumatic. this will then give the arcanist the ability to transform and control whatever energy the thaum is transfered into...''
