AN INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the continent of Shareima. A cold land just north of the Paltiac Ocean and surrounded by the Baliac Ocean on the Northern and Western shores. To the east is the inhospitable Desert Byan, which has been walled of to keep out the Barbarian tribes that roam the Desert Byan. The land of Shareima has long been ruled by many houses.The minor houses picking up the scrapings of the major houses.
The major houses squabbling for the Vacant Throne of Ussex, vacant for Hundreds of years since the Death of the Last King of Ussex, Micheal II. To keep control of the argumentative houses, the Regent in the capitol of Ussex, under control of the House of Ussex, convened the General Congress with representatives from every house, free city and bloc of power to advise the Regency, effectively subjugating them all into the service of the Kingdom of Ussex.
It is now Jaisan (January) the 1st of the Year 222 A.M. (After Micheal), two months ago the aging Regent of Shareima, Emile Sax-Wazen and Ussex has died. For centuries the Regency has been chosen from the House of Ussex. The Regent had no heir, the General Congress, seeing its chance to rid itself of the crumbling rule of Ussex unanimously dissolved itself. The time has come for houses to become dynasties, for dynasties to attain thrones, and for thrones to survive a millennium.
GAMEPLAY
This RP will follow the escapades of the Royal Houses of Shareima, ancien or noveau as they attempt to dominate each-other and gain control of the Land of Shareima. Players can play as a major or minor house, a Free City or as a Ducal State under the control of another existing House.
The two types of Houses will be Minor and Major. Major houses will be large and powerful houses who control a sizable portion of the continent and that exert powerful influence on their surroundings. These houses will be the top contenders for the ultimate Crown of Ussex, the vacant crown that could give the house the bears it the ultimate weapon in the land.
The second type of House is a minor house. Minor Houses are smaller, weaker or significantly weaker than a major house. These houses are either cadet branches of a Major House or a vassal of a Major House. These houses usually are used as pawns by larger Houses, but with the right amount of skill and tactic (and significantly more effort) these Houses could attain ultimate power.
Free cities are cities, usually wealthy ports that are autonomous of auxiliary control. They usually have significant trade power, such real life examples include the Serene Republic of Venice, Athens, Sparta etc. The fourth type of entity you can play is as a Ducal State, these entities are independent state in which the Head of State is a member of an already existing houses. The fourth and fifth options will not be able to be played until a significant amount of people have joined this RP. I will also allow two players to roleplay as "Oligarchic Republics" of a sort not unlike the Most Serene Republic of Venice. To roleplay as one of these please contact me so I can provide you with an app.
SOCIAL STRUCTURE
This Roleplay will be set in a time not unlike or own 12th century A.D., technology will be akin to that of the 1200's in Europe.
it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of the structure of medieval society, customs and technology to be able to roleplay with us. As in our medieval times everything is run by the feudal system, Nobles at the top, followed by Knights, followed by Merchants, followed by Free Peasants and serfs at the bottom.
Religion and culture is very important, three prevailing faiths dominate Shareima. The first called Veidusism which is centered around the belief in the harmony of nature and cooperaton between every living being. This religion is notoriously pagan and the believers of Veidusism believe in a pantheon of thousands of gods, with the main god being Veidu, who takes the form of a white oak and spreads his branches of love throughout the world. Veidusism is most prominent in the Northern lands of Shareima.
The second religion known as Cetridivinism is founded on the belief that four beings rule the world, and that each one is a fraction of one all-powerful god. Each of the four gods represents either East, West, North, South, the four sacred directions; and one of the four sacred elements, either Water, Fire, Earth or Air. This religion is most prominent in the Southern and Western areas of Shareima and was until recently the official religion of the now dissolved Kingdom of Ussex.
The third religion is known as Viensidivism. Which advocates the belief of one god who rules all. The Viendsidivistic bible, the Sanctrium states that their god, created everything, and everyone in the world. They live by a strict set of protocols known as the Victum, that advocate discipline, community and cooperation. As such societies believing in this religion have developed a very communal and warrior lifestyle.
The cultural arrangement of Shareima is much akin to that of Europe. With the East and North are Germanic, Scandinavian and Slavic, which in this RP we will call Sascician. The South is populated by Latin-likes who are called Escadiac and the West are Briton-Celtic who shall be called Gothian. I will allow individual players to name regions.
