WARHAMMER: COME THE STORM
OOC Thread
"In Hochland, a man may love his Longrifle more than his wife."
Popular saying
The great Twin-Tailed Comet, a portent tied to both Sigmar and the Empire, has been seen in the sky. To some, it is a sign of hope. To others, the harbinger of doom.
Lurking within the tangled depths of the vast forests are mutants, Beastmen and worse.
Mostly, they wait for the day when they shall pour out of the forests to burn the cities and claim The Empire for Chaos. According to various omens, that day is coming; the warpgates will again expand and the Gods will reward their chosen people with blood and the gifts of Chaos. So they wait in the forests, picking off those that wander too far from the roads but mostly fighting amongst themselves - for how else shall the strong prevail?
Dangerous as these bands are, they are not as great a threat as those Human servants of Chaos already in the towns and cities, plotting the downfall of The Empire and worshipping the Chaos Gods behind securely-locked doors. These are indistinguishable from the ordinary citizens of The Empire. Such are the Chaos cultists within The Empire, working to undermine it and paving the way for the ascension of their foul gods.
And so, in dark subterranean caverns and behind the magnificent facades of rich town houses, they hatch their foul plots.
Life in The Empire goes on as normal, the authorities satisfy themselves with the occasional trial, and with sanctioning the destruction of villages believed to be harbouring the agents of Chaos.
As the nobles of The Empire continue to indulge themselves in parties and other glittering social events, and the middle classes go blithely on their way seeking to enrich themselves and join the ranks of the nobility. At the bottom the common folk struggle to do the best they can, worshiping their gods and praying that the harvest will be good this year. But the times are changing, the number of unnatural births is growing each year, and the Dragon's Wood stirs..
And so the stage is set... To Games Workshop, Warhammer Fantasy may be dead, transformed into the so-called 'Age of Sigmar', but in our hearts it will always remain!
So there we are. Warhammer Fantasy lives! It is the Imperial year of 2520, and in the far north, the Hordes of Chaos stir. So, too, do the forests of Drakwald stir, the ancient evils there waiting to strike in cooperation with their northern 'allies'. Set in the Imperial Province of Hochland, this Roleplay will see you as a character of your choosing as they live their life, be it one of a simple peasant, a daring adventurer, a stern Witch Hunter, or a drunken Dwarf - or whatever else you might come up with!
You are free to do as you choose, creating your own story, albeit it should be set in Hochland. The Empire is a large nation, and a single province of it is big enough to allow for many different things to happen while also promoting character interaction. If you're unsure what to do, just ask - we'll come up with a nice little quest or event for you, or another writing prompt you might desire for. I'm not sure what else to put here so let's proceed!
Hochland & The Empire
Rules & Application
As always, there are some rules in place - these shouldn't be too hard to follow, I believe, and are pretty much common sense, but here they are anyway!
Follow the site's rules.
Don't godmod/metagame/etc.
Use correct grammar and spelling.
Minimum IC post size should be one paragraph compromising of at least 4 lines.
Don't be an ass.
Characters should make sense for the location. You won't be seeing Tomb Kings here, nor a Northmen invasion.
Preferably, stay away from an a very powerful position. The RP is character-focused, not faction, and it should stay as such. Witch Hunter? Yes. Imperial General, or even Captain? No.
You're allowed three characters total - none of them should be Canon characters, and if they're related only distantly so (exceptions for minor characters). ie, you're not Karl Franz's distant cousin, no matter how badass the man is.
Have fun!
Behold, thy application form! Please don't start out with silly OP equipment, or with ridiculous abilities or background stories. Cheers!
