A Life Lost, for Another Gained…
The world is a dark and cruel place. Your loved ones grieve for your corpse, as it is laid to rest, whatever remains of it at least. The world is further more left in the dark, you have been taken to it and your life ripped from your body before it had even begun to live.
Woe to those whom have befallen such misfortune in their youth and adolescence. Woe to those you have left behind young soul, your heart and your character were seen as true and kind to those whom miss you now. You could never have fathomed in life what now they around you have lost in your death.
Not that any of that matters to you now, not that it ever mattered in the first place. While indeed your loss from this mundane place and realm you call Earth, is a shame to those left behind, woe to them who know not what lies ahead for you.
Your place is no longer among the stars of that place called reality, but in my world, the world of Laancris, where my children have sown the seeds of ill fortune. Go now, for your place is no longer among the lost nor the dead, but in the light of a new world. This is your destiny, your fate, your purpose.
Your character has died a terribly tragic death, the death of one taken from our world far too soon. It’s a fair enough thing then that the Four Divines would see you adrift in the Void and determine you, among others like yourself, to be worthy of rebirth into Laancris.
It's the name of the game. All of the player characters have died here on Earth far too young to have been considered for having lived a full life. Stating this, the player characters are individuals whom are morally just or good or whom were not inherently evil or corrupted.
The four deities of this world that have aligned themselves against the Corruption now place their hopes, and their favor, in your characters. They have given to them the right to do what none have been able to do before, to be reborn into a body. They have given the characters a chance at rebirth.
There are a total of four major races, the four races being the Faefulk, the Unterfulk, the Viehfulk, and the Munfulk. Each race utilizes a specific set of traits and talents taken from the patron deity of their race. The only exception are the Munfulk, whom in being the one race with the least affiliation to the Divine Ones, has the ability to seek out One of Darkness, though this is highly forbidden.You have been Chosen, Though the Choice was Yours…
Welcome to the land of the living once again young friends. We were told you’d be coming, though we’d not expected anything like this. Quickly, come, you must be assessed and oriented to this new world. Blood oaths and holy sacraments must be taken, protection from the Corruption must be offered forth to you so that you may join our ranks.
To some of you, the world is new in texture, in flavor, in sights and sounds. To others it will feel safe and familiar. Do not be lulled into this sense of false complacency, for there is much amiss. Notice how some of you no longer possess even your bodies you had in death? Here now you have come, given the lives of those whom had nothing left to give. Their sacrifice must not be made in vain.
You are no longer children of ill-fated destiny, you are a beacon of hope in this world. The lands you come from are far and foreign to us. Your tongue is new and there is nothing of ours that isn’t. Caution you must exercise until you have learned the laws and customs of these lands. Fear not though, for you shall carry our banner forth into the world, for you all are of Palatinus.[size]Given the choice to come to this land, you now have been reborn. You, however, in this new state are weak and while the bodies to provide are many, the opportunity to properly protect them before they must be dealt with is nearing its close. We need your help more than ever, and you need life more than ever. This, above all things, is a second chance to truly live and fulfill a purpose in your life.Together you shall Rise, Alone you shall Fall…
The world as you know it is no more. This is Laancris, a land of magic, filled with the beings your kind would have called Elves and Dwarves and Beastmen. There are others, the ones that we cannot speak of in the light. Their presence is the abomination of the Four Divine Ones. Work not alone against them, for while allies are everywhere, so too in their shadows lie those whom would see your untimely departure from our realm.
Quickly, hasten to unite the lands of Laancris, assemble the armies of Humanity, the Covens of the Faefulk, the hordes of the Beastmen, and the legions of the Unterfulk. Together we can see the filth of the Corruption that plagues our land, exterminated once and for all. Alone though, no race, nor creed, nor walk of life will see another era, for the darkness will consume all and the world shall grow and still beneath their reign.The world is a place now determined to destroy you, your friends, and your family here in Palatinus. Only united can you stand the test of the tides, steadfast and strong against the oppression of the Corruption. This is the world of Laancris, this is the place where you shall truly determine your fate.Let your light Shine, Become the beacon of our Hope.
Tell us more of yourself, let us know you for all of your worth young one. Let us believe in your legend-to-be, your songs-to-be-sung, your tales-of-valour-and-honour. No matter your humble start Paladin- no, Hero, we wish to know it, for the depths of your depravity in the lives before this one shall serve as all that higher a height to aspire to.
Let us sing tales of your distant homelands, let us aspire to dream of such foreign and alien locales and their citizens. Let us think upon their philosophy, their philanthropy, their society. Only by divulging every last detail may you truly let us know the great potential and weight you intend to carry. You are our hope, our dreams, our greatest aspirations.So let your fate be great. Let your character be great. Above all things, let Laancris too, become great again. The world waits for you oh young traveler between worlds, and between lives. Perhaps we should prepare for the coming of the end of the Corruption sooner than later?
