Welcome to the Worlds of Might and Magic
And now the page before us blurs.
An age is done. The book must close.
We are abandoned to history.
Raise high one more time the tattered standard
Of the Fallen. See through the drifting smoke
To the dark stains upon the fabric.
This is the blood of our lives, this is the
Payment of our deeds, all soon to be
Forgotten.
We were never what people could be.
We were only what we were.
Remember us

"All keeps hold a Gate, all castles Gates."
Lord Pain of Shigeinama
The world of Eldanar was, near two hundred years ago, was no different from all the many worlds that existed in the World Tree. That is, until the rise of the Void. The Void was anathema to the Word and thus all of Creation, causing widespread panic and darkness and those who once practiced magic became consumed by what was once considered safe. Mutations, cult risings, and the sudden rise of barbarous hordes saw the world slipping into a World War. The existing nations of Eldanar, despite their great magic or might of arms, could not expel the Void. One by one, the nations of Eldanar fell to the might of the Void until only the Athean Empire remained free from the deprivations of the Void and even she was buckling under the pressures of invasion and the cults.
All seemed lost until a hero rose from the masses of people. His name was Vezimmir and he glowed with the light of the Word in his eyes and the power of his voice was able to unite the people behind one banner. Vezimmir of House Calmcacil was able to push back the Void and liberate each land during a subsequent forty seven year sequence of wars that would come to be known as the Void Wars. From each land, great and powerful heroes rose to follow Vezimmir during his liberation. With the aid of these Heroes, Vezimmir finally was able to quell the Void and finally crush them.
With the defeat of the Void, Vezimmir was declared Emperor of the Holy Empire of Eldanar and each Hero that had followed him became the High Lords (or Ladies) of all the lands of Eldanar. But there were many things left to do with the rise of the Inquisition to hunt down heretics and mutants throughout the world. The Magistrates were organized to monitor magic use as well as maintain Imperial Law in Eldanar. There were also those who wished to return to an independence that existed before the rise of the Void. These rebels, as they were called, were brought to heel by the might of the newly forged Holy Empire.
Time passed and the world entered an age of glory and prosperity for all. Eventually Vezimmir, despite his power, succumbed to the weight of mortality and passed, leaving the throne to his son Tyrion. Emperor Tyrion continued the work of his father, creating the Imperial Church and the Knights of the Word to act as the militant arm of the Church. However, something was missing. The High Lords/Ladies were growing restless and the people yearned for more. Also, the rebels had found a united leader in the form of the Freeborn, a group that wanted the world to return to what was before the Calmcacils.
Tyrion, using the power that he had inherited from his father, proposed the opening of intergalactic magical Gates to a new world. It was simple, the World Tree needed to unite to defend from the deprivations of the Void. The only problem was the Gates all opened to a single world...Earth...in 1100 AD.

SO! Basically the story is this: You each play as a High Lord (or Lady) that rule the lands of Eldanar or you can play as the real world leaders of nations that existed on Earth in 1100AD. You decide what will happen when the Gates are opened to our world in 1100 AD or how you react when the Gates open in your nation. By the way, anyone that could match up the world map I have with the nations that existed on it in 1100AD, that would be great.

RULES:
1) No Godmodding or Meta-Gaming
2) While this is a fantasy rp and I expect some pretty amazing stuff, please keep it based in reality. For instance, if your character starts walking to point A to point B and point B is a thousand miles away, it should take a while.
3) No steamrolling other races or other players just because you can.
4) No massively powerful races like Gods and what not. Dragons are allowed, but please sparingly.
5) Technology on Eldanar is High Medieval level but can flunctuate if you choose to have less magic and more technology or vice verse. Just don't overdo it.
6) While there are weapons of mass destruction in real life, I will not allow their use in this RP. They defeat the purpose of this RP.
7 ) On the world of Earth, each Gate must be at least fifty miles from another.
8 ) Other positions can be acquired by just filling out the Hero App.
9 ) IF YOU ARE INACTIVE FOR MORE THAN TWO DAYS (48 HOURS), I WILL CLOSE YOUR GATE AND RENDER YOU DOA UNLESS YOU SEND A TG STATING YOU'LL BE INACTIVE.
10 ) Remember, if you play as an Eldanaran nation anything magical about your technology, races, or what have you, will be rendered inert when you go to Earth. This is to be sure that no one has an unfair advantage over Earth nations. Races from Eldanar that are magical in nature will survive Earth but any magical abilities will be useless.
11 ) Any human from Earth who goes to Eldanar can theoretically do magic!

Co-Op Rules
1) The Co-Op is allowed to accept Apps. After accepting, they will TG me the APP to be added to the list.
2) There shall be ONE Co-Op
HOW GATES WORK AND THEIR SIZE AND PROPORTIONS:
A Gate can range from only ten feet wide to nearly a mile wide. I'll leave it to your choice. They are about fifty feet thick and made of a mysterious silver alloy found nowhere else on your world with millions of strange stylistic glyph covering their entire surface. When activated, lightning will play across their surface and then a light will start to shine in the center until a shape begins to appear. You can see into the other world and the step through is painless and without discomfort, although the environment on the other side might be radically different from the one you just stepped from.
Each GATE leads to the same world, our world.
A NOTE ON HEROES:
Heroes are the champions of your lands They have a sizable impact on battles between players and add a level of depth to the RP that would otherwise be missing. While each High Lord (or Lady) could be a Hero you can also have up to three mini Heroes.

I'll be co-op. And advertising... a point I haven't considered yet, but I could go and post a link to this in the Historical Group HQ thingy. That should get a few RPers, I guess?
