The Knights Peregrine
The land is dangerous, always has been. From the lowliest filthy bandits to the dangerously majestic dragons, many a threat to civilisation calls the wilds of Langeser its home; and with a days travel at the least between any settlements, there was plenty of it. That is, of course, not to even mention what horrors hide away in the Great Biel Mountains and the horrendous wastes beyond. So it came as no surprise when finally the towns and villages and hamlets of the realms demanded from their kings and lords that they do something, anything, to protect them and their livelihoods. And eventually, they listened.
They founded the Order of the Knights Peregrine, made up of those sons and daughters of nobility whose calling was not to rule, but to protect. Trained from an early age, the Knights knew their way around a blade better than any other fighters in the world. Their courage was the subject of many a tale and ballad. They were regarded by some of the common folk as descendants of the great heroes of the ages gone by. And others, they saw them as sent by the higher forces themselves, as answers to their prayers that would deliver them from their suffering.
But times change, they must do, of course. Under the protection of the Knights, civilisation grew and expanded. The great primeval forests shrank away, new villages were founded and by the Knights' own efforts, the roads grew safer. Some of the realms even withdrew their support of the Order, not for any malicious reasons, mind you, but simply because they were no longer needed. And that was not the only way that the world moved on. The blade itself fell out of favour, for what use is it when a bandit with a musket can shoot you dead before you can even discern them from a bush. The Knights were thus left without one of their greatest attributes, it takes months of practice to be able to defeat a basilisk with a sword, but some ten peasants can make easy work of such a beast if they can get ten firearms. With all of this combined, the Order has dwindled. Its importance has waned to such a point that the Knights now barely ever deal with problems on this side of the Great Biels.
Now, all of the remaining knights have been called back to the Castle Hradek, the traditional headquarters of the Order. The Highmaster has a mission for them that will challenge them in more ways than one.
Hello, and welcome to The Knights Peregrine! Some four years ago I was part of an RP that really seized my imagination, but it unfortunately died as many RPs tend to do. It was titled 'The Peregrine', and served as an inspiration for this. I wish I could at least receive the blessing of that RPs creator, Aona, however their nation no longer exists as a result of inactivity, so I have no idea how to even contact them (if anyone has any ideas they would be very welcome). Apart from the premise the rest of the story is my own creation, as 'The Peregrine' died before its story could really even kick off. But enough of me justifying myself, here are the rules:
The word of the OP is law
No gamebreaking shenanigans, ie. godmoding, metagaming
Your posts should be at least a paragraph long, exception if you are in dialogue with another player's character
Multiple characters are allowed
If you're asking a PC a yes or no question, or something else of little consequence, I think its OK for you to reply for that player as long as you know what their response would be (you can sort that out in TGs)
