House Name: El-Andul.
Heraldry:
Allegence Nominally in service to the empire.
Claims and Titles Viceroyalty of Grenada, Suzerain of the Great Houses, and Patriarch of House El-Andul.
House History: Grenada is a land of much complexity with heavy summers, and drenching winters. The heat is as much a part of the land is along with its torrential rain storms. Woodlands adapted to the long dry summers, and strength of what farmable land there is have made people here rather hardy. From this land have come six great houses that rule their perspective lands, and have mostly kept the peace using a pact. This pact forces the children of the current ruler of each house to fight for the right to lead. Some keep the more traditional fight to the death while others have lessened such requirements.
The winners of course will have the heir to the viceroyalty chosen by a second round of combat. 800 years ago this pact sealed the fact of Grenada, and has kept it intact since. Of course outside forces have always conspired to take Grenada, and failed each time. To many this empire is not worth the time of the Grenadians, but rather than face obliteration they chose to allow them in for a price. The taxes paid by those crossing into the viceroyalty help keep many projects afloat. The Grenadians care little for the imperial politics at the capital or there struggles.
Instead they care for the potential threat in the south with the followers of the true way. They have adopted some practices of that faith partially due to cultural exchange, and as a result tend to be focused heavily on hygienic behaviors. With the empire beginning to fail it seems clear to many that a breakaway must be performed. Yet the current Viceroy is loyal if only in some small manners at the moment. This house has had a long storied history, and perhaps one too long for those who want to know the short version.
House Members: Patriarch Hamid El-Andul (age 20).

Grenadian Culture:
* The Great Houses themselves are true political entities bonded not by blood only, but by ties, commitments, obligations, and duties. As such it is the duty of every women to produce children by any means necessary. Should their husbands be unable to do so they seek audiences with men in their court to perform the deed.
* Should husbands be unable to give children to their wives they are permitted to seek other men to do it for them instead.
* Both men, and women organize kidnapping parties to chase after their desired spouse. The more scandalous the affair is the better especially if the kidnapping is done during a wedding.
* Both men, and women can for a price be allowed to have multiple spouses.
* Eunuchs are the preferred type of servants in the courts of the great houses.
* Castration for service in the court is considered an honor by those in the lower classes.
*Types of Clothing include the following.

*Sacred Groves are created for the use of pleasure, and worship.
*It is acceptable for both men, and women to have harems of anykind.
* If the wife upon the death of her husband is beyond childbearing age she joins the sisterhood of the ash wives. Grey robed women who rub their face in ash, and handle giving rites to the dead, dying, and newborns. In their worship they can choose many ways to serve the three such as medicine or birth delivery. Upon death their bodies are burned as they become one with the cosmos.
* The Grenadians believe the god of three is a corporeal being made of matter, and so are humans, and all of existence. Therefore upon death our souls "die", and rejoin the three in a blissful sleep till an appointed day we can come back into existence. No matter what is done to a body the matter will always be there to allow resurrection.
*To Grenadians the natural world being part of the three view anything "supernatural" as part of the non material world, and thus tainted by the darkness. The Grenadians honor the natural world with dances, feasts, offerings, and much more. Death itself is nothing to fear, and sadness over it is the taint of the non material afflicting humans.
* Wars, and conflicts can be prevented by a series of tournaments to solve the core issue. Often these tournaments are bloody, and spectacular sights meant to show the cost of wars that could fragment the realm.

It started innocently enough. A thread on 4chan's /x/ board posing a number of questions relating to the possibility of religious ties to a number of events and happenings in history. This ultimately culminated into contacting several local priests and sisterhoods to get an answer. Though said answers were summarily deemed 'inadequate'. Though a single Anon found out the best way to find an answer, E-Mail the Pope. After waiting nearly a week for a response, they got around three sentences explaining that such questions could not be answered.
Finding such a response to also be 'inadequate', the thread made a plan. In classic 4chan fashion of getting shit done when it's least expected, they decided to break into the Vatican Archives to learn the truth. Unbeknownst to the secrets, artifacts, and souls contained within. Instead, they'll stumble upon a conspiracy that has lasted over 2000 years.
And then they'll be in for an adventure.

The world of Nestrica is an cultured, wonderous and dangerous place. Massive metropolises of stone and iron dot the landscape, while tribes of bandits, highwaymen, orcs, elves and dens of wildlife dot the landscape laying off the cobble roads and clear cut crops. All of them risking the lives of those in the villages and hamlets throughout the land directly, while indirectly risking the collapse of the massive cities in which a bulk of the population lives.
Recently, an ancient evil awoke in the far north, an army of the undead and monsters from the underworld threatened to spill forth upon the world. Millions died, many more left refugees or wandering. THe world was on the brink, but then the Gods answered. A single being, half elf, half orc, took the call to strike down the threat that was going to take down the world. So he gathered a collection of followers, set out, and turned the tide alone. This man vanquished the evil, praised as a hero, given a statue in a multitude of cities, and became inducted into the halls of legend.
Turns out he wasn't the only person in the world with a sense of adventure, he was just the only one who wasn't a lazy goober waiting away in a tavern taking contracts stapled onto the board outside.
This is where you come in.
There is no great evil to be conquered, no big bad to strike down, no evil empire out for the blood of millions. You are a Cowl, one of the many adventurers who go out and deal with the stuff that's either too trivial for the guard, to small for the military, or too dangerous for anyone else. At least if you're paid enough. Just a bunch of sell swords on payroll from an adventurer's guild, trying to make ends meet with a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. Have a good one.

On March 3rd 2019, a joint program between NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, the ESA and CSA was declared: Patrocles, starting a path to extra-solar exploration. Engine designs, hydroponics, new space age materials and cold storage of both supplies as well as people were avenues all explored. All bore some sort of practical fruit, that is, all but the cold storage and resuscitation of living humans. Cadavers had been used prior, causing no notable tissue damage, and after that animals, with no other notable damage. The scheduled event that was to freeze several volunteers from international selections was halted, 2006 DP14 was discovered on a collision course with Earth in May of 2020.
Avenues of approach were brought up, but no real thought was put into the asteroid actually impacting earth. Though as the days, weeks, months passed, it became more and more concrete that Earth was under a very direct and very serious threat. ICBM usage was jossed about, as was the usage of mass drivers to deflect it, as time went on, even the incredulous thought of a manned mission to destroy it was brought up, but none could have any reliability, much less feasible attainment.
And then, a mere moment of hope. Ironically, Deimos, entered the path of the Asteroid, causing it to fracture, but not disappear. Humanity was now no longer confirmed to it's death sentence, but now, massive chunks were not only confirmed to still be heading into Earth's gravity well, but most likely into a decaying orbit. All humanity had left was time.
On September 14th of 2028, Humanity managed to gain some form of assurance, a massive system of mass drivers located in national countrysides built to destroy as many meteorites as they could to avoid as much damage as possible. On November 30th 2028, an extra step was taken, a number of people, from all walks of life, and all occupations, were entombed in cold storage containers. Inset into the long since decommissioned depths of the Butler County's Iron Mountain Data Center. 340 Men, women, and children were frozen. Only to be awoken at a later date when humanity was safe, or when power ran out.
December 25th, 2028. Humanity's last, honest Christmas, first impact in the East China Sea. Over the next day, hundreds of impacts would rain across Asia and Europe, trailing over to North America and the Atlantic. Billions die in the initial bombardment, many more follow. Within 3 years, Earth's biosphere enters another ice age, the amount of debris in the atmosphere preventing proper temperate changes. It ends after 79 years, altering Earth's biosphere to an unrecognizable degree. Sans those scant few humans that survived on the surface, and the much fewer in their frozen tombs.
The date is now August 18th, 3312. Earth has shifted considerably, many landmarks are now either overgrown, eroded, or occupied by religious tribes. Craters dot the Earth, many deep enough to have volcanic activity. Coastlines have forever changed, raising dramatically compared to the previous level. And deep within the bowels of the Earth, a nuclear fusion reactor finally gives out. Setting an auto release for over 340 Cold Storage pods, their occupants in a dreamless and perception-less sleep for nearly 1300 years, less than a quarter will awake. The rest falling victim to the untested and unused systems, nothing more than withered husks with un-maintained pods. Those that do awake, will be as disoriented as someone literally blinking through time periods.
You are one of those remaining few who have the privilege of waking up.
This is your story.
