Alright, it's been a while since I created any threads, so bear with me.
this thread is only open to people who have read at least the fist two books of Robert Jordan's The Wheel Of Time . I'm not trying to exclude anyone, but the thread will be based to closely on the setting in the books to allow for non-readers to join. (I've tried winging it before with people who didn't know the background, and it just leads to too many misunderstandings)
Only the setting and history of the series is being used.
The thread will be a mystery/fantasy, with members posting their bio's here.
Premise
I want to try to base this on The Great Hunt, as occurred in Book two of the series. None of the events of the book have transpired, and the Forsaken are still bound within the bore. (Except for Ishmael, but that's recorded within the books' history)
Everyone can create any character they want, but must remember the following points:
No specific characters from the books.
If you choose a type, such as Aes Sedai, try to play the part accordingly. (e.g., if you choose a Warder, you need a reason why you're not with a Sister, unless you've teamed with another player who is Aes Sedai)
No invincible characters. Everyone has certain weaknesses in real life, and this should be no different.
I intend to run this slightly different than most threads. Rather than starting with everyone joining together in a quest, as usual, this is solitary or team effort.
You are all out to get the Horn of Valour for yourselves, either for its value, prestige, whatever, your motive is up to you, but you should play that accordingly.
I will not actively participate in the hunt, but will instead create occasional NPC's to give you hints, create forces of nature, etc.
I will also create a character, who will be a Hunter for the Horn, but he will be rather incompetant, serving solely to allow you as the players to attempt to find the clues I have hidden in his misadventures to find the Horn. (By the way, the Horn is not in the Eye, as it was in the books.)
If you are interested, create a bio, and state where you come from. It can be anywhere, so long as it remains on this side of the Arythe. (I don't want to see any Seanchan, remember, that storyline doesn't exist in this thread)
I will elucidate further once I begin to see how much response this gets, and what kind of characters are being played. Feel free to ask any questions you wish.

, I'm having enough trouble keeping up with my other threads right now - that's why I went with Blaze's idea about just showing up here and there with a nice disaster or war.
