Dark Ravens Saga (closed for some friends actualy)
Nose kiss
I thanks the great writer Glen Cook for his books about the Dark Company which gave me a part of my inspiration.
Players are allowed to ask me questions and to give advices.
They are too required to correct me when my english is flawed or when i badly use a word. Thanks.
Welcome in the lands of Carandirr.
This adventure will be currently closed for some friends.
The concept is to add to actual ORP , the adventures and thrill elements of roleplaying games ( as ADD , warhammer or video games as neverwinter or morrowind).
This is still a work in progress and i will update this thread as new inspirations will jump on me.
A group of players will explore and live in the lands of Carandirr, exploring, fighting , some time running for their lifes, festing, resting in their beds ( alone or else , will be up to them
).
The actions and fights results will mainly be regulated by quality and originality of writers descriptions at which will be added their profession skills and a bit of random from me.
For a fight , i will describe the opponents and their actions, the players will have to describe their reactions, after this i will give the result of the actions.
Players
Players will be part of a small company of specialized mercenaries the Black Ravens. Which are specialized in skirmish, exploration, infiltration, rebellions crushing and eliminations.
Everyone in the Dark Ravens is know by a nickname, as in the french foreign legion they come to forget past and noone will ask them about. Most people in Ravens have something to hide, they are as a brotherhood , a familly, not just a temporary group. For alot of them the Ravens were a last chance.
I will play the main officers and npc of the company and of course all the uggly ones ( some ugglies will perhaps be curvy and not so uggly, after it depend of everyone tastes and fetishes )
History of the world.
Religion
At beginning Where "He" and " She" two celestial beings , alone in an empty univers, feeling shapeless,they where wandering in search of their goal , of their achievment.
When they met each others, they knew that their actual quest as gone to it end and that something new was beginning.
They mixed their beings, became one,discovering the pleasure of sharing with someone else. their dreams blended in with each others, part of their essences became reality, became the sprout of our world. Their fears, their nightmares amalgamates too, permeating the world in becoming, flawing it at birth.
It is said that another celestial being was traveling through the primal void.
When he saw the love of the "Two" he wanted to join them, to share with them, but the love of the "Two" was an exclusive one and it was no room for the "Other" in it.
For the followers of the "Two" the" Other" is the one who feed their nighmares, their fears, he is the corrupting ennemy, for the followers of the "Other" he is a kind of Promotheus trying to free us from the chains of the "Two" from the chains of moral, from a world dying to nomore evolving.
"He" and "She" are not gods who rule the world from an Elysean ,they are Carendirr itselff, they are the creation.
religion the essence of the world, the world is them , being it they cant interact with it. They are know too as the "two".
Followers of the "Two" believe that our world is their essences mixed, fusionned, and that what affect them will affect us, and that if our world fall in madness, we will corrupt them in return. This religion encourage harmony, it is not completly a religion of peace and absolute love, but one who ask for respect and harmony, each things are at their places, the poor have to be respected, but the poor have to understand that his place in society is needed, and that changing it would spread chaos.
Sadly chaos is here, invisible deacay breeze ; corrupting the world,incurable sickness ever growing.
Somehints of theses nightmares are, incredibles creatures sometime being met, ravaging a village or slaughtering single travelers, tribes of primitives and savages humanoids ,knew under names of Goubelins, Trolls, wyrms. Theses uncommons creatures are differents from their legends counterparts, they can have their own primitives cultures,they can be our predators , they can be too shy neighbours. But for the humans they are mainly proofs of the spreading chaos, a still benign one compared to others crawling horrors, to the fear of the "Stigma".
Another brand of the crawling chaos are the beastmen, fool alchemy of human parts and animals ones.They hide in the deep forests of Carandirr, fighting each others,festing of the flesh of unlucky prisonners, mating with human prisonners, spreading more the germs of decadence.
The Necromancy is a forbiden art, one that dealt with the nigmares of the "two" with the jealousy of the "Other", the punishment for it practice is often purification by fire.
The "Stigma" is the everyone fear in Carrandir, it can strike as a new born than an adult. It is a slow corruption, witch transform bodies and souls, mutations modeling the victims in caricatures of humans, perverting their souls.
Victims of the "Stigma" often diead burned by the inquisitors, or lynched by their own former friends and familly. Sometime a newborn or child victim of it, is not killed by it desperaited mother but abandonned in a forest, dying here or being adopted by others victims of the "Stigma", by beastmen or by followers of the forbiden arts.
The Carandirr cosmology can different slightly from a region to another.
There is more minor entities which are more as angels or demons, embodiments of qualities or passions.
Here are some.
Dolzamar the Collector: Represented as an old man, he is a being of knowledge, a collector of wisdom .He is not involved in any good or evil moral struggle.
Ishadani the Moon Daughter:Represented as a beautifull seducing dark haired woman, she is a dolzamar counterpart, mistress of mystery arts ,dreams ,secret Muse of the tormented artists . She can be in same time protectrice or amoral. She is equivocal, she creates from the dreams of the" Two"; making the world pattern richer and weaker in same time. She is not evil but she is at the edge of chaos.
Jrorn the Rider of Storm: Represented as a wolf, he is the anger, the rage of the elements, the bringer of war. He is a savage and violent entity but one who have a kind of honor, not a wanton killer.
Trumpett the Jagged: Represented as a little fat furry man, he is a kind protector of the famillies,an helper of the farmers. Entity of peace he is liked by the people of the common.
Bozzbodi the Unsatisfied: Represented as a thin worm like creature. He is a blower of jealousy, of anger. Creator of the lies and protecting father of the avarice, he is a powermonger being. He is not an entity worshiped publicly but it is said that he have many followers among nobles and merchants.
Kuuroînocha the Lust Crave: Represented as an hermaphrodite at the bewitching beauty, Kuuroînocha is an evil of corruption, a selfish entity, concerned in the pleasures of the flesh, in the modeling and corruption of bodies and souls. It cult is a forbiden one as is Bozzbody one a manifestation of the corruption.
The Tribunal: It is a council of twelve nameless entities dressed in black hoods, carrying hammers and balances. The tribunal is a neutral entity, that try to keep the world from falling in chaos or to froze for eternity in too much order. The tribunal is too the judge of the deaths, the guardian of the dormancy of the dead soulswaiting for a new birth.
This make the tribunal worshippers being ennemies of necromants and souls corruptors.
Myria the Maiden: Represented as a beautifull alchemy between the curves of a woman and the size and face of a young girl. She is the protectrice of thoses who suffer, the one thoses in despair pray. Her clergy have duty to heal everyone coming to them , the criminal as well than the beggar or the homeless. She is too the protectrice of the lovers , the one young maidens pray for touching the heart of the man they love.
Ormael the Souls Eater: Represented as a shapeless shadow.His cult is forbiden. Master of the dark arts, he is the teacher of the necromants, for his followers the mastery in dark knowledges have no limits or rules,there is on one side thoses who follow his way and on the other side, the slaves. Ormael cult promote the superiority of thoses who have mastery of the dark arts, it promotes the right to craft and weave the reality pattern toward something far from the dreams of the "Two".
Kroordak the Merciless. Represented as a Tentacular being with claws, fangs and an infinity of eyes. He is destruction, oblivion, the end of all things. His followers are said to be granted powers of destruction in exchange of their souls and of the brand of the "Stigma". His cult if of is course forbiden.
