Background
The lands of Fanoria have for generations been a relatively peaceful place, with only minor skirmishes and battles, often quickly settled. Ruled over by Emperor Marthus I, a man rumored to be not only powerful, but immortal. Unbeknownst to most in the empire, their lands were only safe and peaceful thanks to the efforts of this great man. Everything seemed normal, perfect in the lands of Fanoria.
When a mysterious winter began to settle over the edges of the empire, creeping in from all directions toward the heart of Fanoria, the people were not immediately concerned, thinking it just an early coming of the seasons. But when changes began to come over the land, the once tall and majestic forests of the northern realms becoming dark and twisted places. Crops began to wilt and die, the grounds suddenly becoming infertile and dry.
The normal creatures of the land began to become sickly and diseased, sometimes rabid things. They've begun attacking people at random, spreading diseases, etc.
And then the actual winter came. Blizzards unlike the land has seen since before the time of Marthus, when the empire was still a group of small kingdoms battling constantly have swept in, killing plant and animal and person alike, showing no mercy and leaving in their wake three to four feet drifts of snow. Hale the size of grapefruit pelt the land, tearing through thatched roofs and battering people unlucky enough to be caught in the storm.
What is happening to Fanoria? A winter like this has never been seen in the time of the people who now live, even the eldest can not remember weather like what they are experiencing. Experienced hunters, rangers, druids, and other such wild people are bewildered by the animal life taking this bitter turn. And now strange occurances are being reported, people claiming that strange creatures and mysterious figures have been seen prowling the land, especially at night.
Are you brave enough to attempt to solve this mystery? Are you ready to journey into the cold dark and attempt to seize the truth and return Fanoria to it's former glory?
Characters[/center
This is a game based in a fantasy world. HOWEVER, this is not fantasy in the traditional sense. There are no elves, dwarves, etc, so please do not ask to play one. All characters are to be humans, and while they can have some special ability, do not push your luck. Magic does exist in this world, but as the average person hasn't been trained to use it(if they're even capable of wielding it in the first place), they will not be overly powerful/controlled.
Characters can take just about any role as long as they are common people, ranking no higher than perhaps the lowest of nobles, not even high enough to be land holders. You can be anything from a ranger to a farmer to a barkeep in a tavern, the choice is yours and the possibilities are endless.
If you are interested, please say so here. Do not, however, post character sheets here until I have an idea of what you plan to play and I give you the OK. I do not want people's character sheets to get lost in misc. posts here.

The idea is good, I'll keep that in mind and possibly have you send me a character sheet in a bit.
