So after playing a flash game on my favorite game site I had the idea of a RP with four sides, a powerful empire that uses necromancy to forge powerful armies to conquer located in the central lands, a fearless barbarian tribe in the south which ruthlessly pillages and conquers, a strong Dutchy in the west which uses highly trained knights to defend their kingdom, and a small but powerful cult of arcane wizards in the far north rebelling against the empire. Each RPer would take one of the four sides, me being the barbarians, and RP battles, conquests, annexations of innocent lands, and so on. Anyone interested?

peace between the groups, then two of the sides go into war and the others have to decide if they want in or out or they start their own war.

I was thinking the necromancers had conquered almost all the continent but my barbarians in the south and and cultists in the north, and the Dutchy is an island nation in the west, and all sides are against each other. Then we can make peace with each other, and other crap. And a map might be nice.

Alright now we have four players! Thread now closed. So you guys wanna discuss the backstory?

by **The United Soviet Socialist Republic** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 2:48 pm

Well since it seems nobody wants to discuss the backstory, I'll make one up. Now lets describe our lands. Description of mine:The barbarians of the south, known as the Crimson Horde, is a coalition of several tribes under one ruler, the Khan. The barbarians dwell in a vast desert wasteland, and live in tents and huts. Their land is majorly inhospitable to most humans, but centuries of living in the desert adapted the ruthless barbarians to the land. The barbarian army is made up largely of warriors on horseback, and small bands of barbarian raiders often attack and pillage towns and villages on the border. The main battle tactic of the Crimson Horde is to send several small but powerful bands of raiders and warriors to attack several locations, causing surprise and letting them conquer more faster.

Desc. of the Necromancer Alliance: The entire region is centered on a swampy island on a large lake. The island has had several docks that spread out the capital making it a 10 square miles. past this the lake around it start to become shallow and swampy. Once you reach the shore of the lake/swamp you get into a flat plain where various villages and towns are scattered. Each site has a large house known as the Mortition's Manor. Here the Necromancer of the sector controls the area in the sector. The undead don't really seem like classic undead. They look human, but they do not need food or water. The Undead are actually capable of speaking and thinking. There are areas that are rotten on the bodies of these undead, but they are in areas covered by clothing. These undead are mainly military, but some are used as farm hands. The regular humans live in peace with the necromancers and the undead. These regular humans usually are farmers and merchants. A few made it in the military and are higher in rank. The necromancers are the head of society. They control all endevours. There are minor necromancers who mainly put undying enchantments on armor in the case that a soldier is killed, the armor may still act for a period of time. The greater Necromancers head the sectors and military. They are able to summon legions of undead, but are unable to keep them alive in a fighting capacity unless allowed by the Necro Patriarch. The Necro Patriarch is Gratlevor Mortan. He controls the capital, and is the most powerful necromancer of the time. Since he began his kingdom he has trained several followers and has expanded his boundaries ten fold. He prefers a peace time, but if threatened he will act in a way that will cause mass chaos to all those that oppose him.

The Duchy of the west or Aura is a large island. The capital is located on a cliff near a large waterfall that's magnificence and beauty is almost uncomparable. The capital is a castle with high walls that are pure white, almost out of a faery tale. It is constantly guarded by paladins, both with and without horses. Their armor is almost the same color as the castles. They really don't leave their kingdom much. But their ships are large in size, but many carry almost no weapons. The island is mainly forested and most places are guarded by walls. Most of the kingdom is peaceful, mainly near the capital. Also, the capital is on a cliff and is designed to be easily defended. The capital has the only paladins, so everywhere else is guarded by well trained knights. Their battles are normally started off stealthy, but never end this way. The people also prosper and so most would never consider a rebellion.
