The Chantry teaches us that it is the hubris of men which brought the darkspawn into our world. The mages had sought to usurp Heaven. But instead, they destroyed it. They were cast out, twisted and cursed by their own corruption. They returned as monsters, the first of the Darkspawn. They became a blight upon the lands, unstoppable and relentless. The dwarven kingdoms were the first to fall. And from the deep roads, the Darkspawn drove at us again and again, until finally we neared annihilation... until the Grey Wardens came. Men and women from every race, warriors and mages, barbarians and kings, the Grey Wardens sacrificed everything to stem the tide of darkness, and prevailed. It has been four centuries since that victory, and we have kept our vigil. We have watched and waited for the Darkspawn to return. But those, who once called us heroes, have forgotten. We are few now, and our warnings have been ignored for too long. It may even be too late, for I have seen with my own eyes what lies upon the horizon. Maker... help us all.
OP: The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness
Co-op: Templar High Council.
For the first time in hundreds of years, a new Blight has risen, the fifth of its kind. King Cailin Theirin and the Fereldan army have been defeated, the King dead, along with most of the fabled Grey Wardens. Betrayed by Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir, Cailin and the Grey Wardens stood no chance against the Darkspawn hordes. Loghain has seized power in Ferelden during this time of crisis, and has declared all Grey Wardens traitors to the throne. With the Grey Wardens all but gone, and Teyrn Loghain underestimating the threat the Fifth Blight poses, only a few are fighting back against the vile Darkspawn in an effort to save Ferelden from the vile creatures. Seeing the Darkspawn for the threat they truly are, and opposed to Teyrn Loghain, you find yourself in an unlikely company and on an unlikely quest to combat the Darkspawn and to save the realm...
Dragon Age: an introduction
You know nothing of Dragon Age? Outrageous! While it is recommended that you have played or completed at least the first game, if you really want to join, below you'll find several blocks of information and useful links to help you get settled into the setting!
Hey you. Yeeeah you. Do you want to know what this RP'll be about? Then you've come to the right place.
The RP will follow Origin's storyline (partially), but from another perspective. We'll all play as members of a group of darkspawn-slaying adventurers, brought together by the unusual circumstances Ferelden's in. The RP will start shortly after the Battle of Ostagar and the following confusion. We know nothing about the Grey Warden's fate; just rumours we might pick up along our travels. We'll be following our own adventure in our quest to degeat the darkspawn. Without anything defying canon (hopefully :P), oorah! Below you'll find the rules and app for both mages and non-mages (there's a slight difference in the two apps). There are three classes you can play as. Warrior, rogue, and mage. If you're familiar with the game or even roleplaying in general, you'll know what each does. If not... well, this might just not be the RP for you.
The rules are as follows.
*No godmodding and/or metagaming
*Do not insult other people in the OOC, and do not use the IC to insult people.
*OP and Co-OP's word is law.
*Do not break Dragon Age canon. If you do, you'll be informed and asked to correct your mistake - no harm done!
*No oneliners. Try to post at least one to two paragraphs of text per post. A paragraph should at least be 4 sentences of moderate size.
*All NS rules apply.
*The RP will, naturally, include mature content. Keep your depictions in line with the NS rules.
*Only one character per player!
*Your character can not be a Grey Warden, or related to any canon characters (asides from the minor ones).
*Obligatory line about having fun.
And finally we have reached the point where the apps are located. For the warrior/rogue app, please remove the class you are not.
