For the first time in the known history of the land of Phalann, peace reigned, and the entire continent was ruled by one man alone, King Rickard of the house of Quendor. But for a few ill-equipped bandits who were easily put to flight, the people of Phalann faced no danger.
As far as is known, humans are the only race that lives in this peaceful kingdom, though stories tell of ancient explorers who travelled across the seas and encountered many strange things in far-away lands.
Our story takes place in the land of Phalann, and focuses in particular on the People of the Court, the wealthy Lords and Ladies of the Kingdom, both of the house of Quendor and of others. Phalann is fairly similar to your typical medieval kingdom, ranging from the chivalrous (knights are fairly common-place) to the down-right lowly (I'm sure we can all picture what it must have been like to be a peasant in such times). Technology-wise, there isn't alot. Definately no gunpowder weapons; the most common weapons and the weapon of choice for most would be the sword. Advanced seige weapons like trebuchets are probably around, though I doubt that'll come into play, but you never know. And as for magic: it is around, in the form of a rare, inborn power. Due to its rareity, and the natural human instinct to shun anything that is different, magic-users who do not learn to control/hide their powers often become outcasts, possibly even victims of attacks (Though the more powerful mages would not have this risk, as the normal folk are too scared of their power to do such things).
Of course, for all its peace, the Noble Court is the home of some of the ever-present nobles who have only one person in their thoughts: themselves. Be it by backstabbing, cheating, or stealing, many of these Nobles will strive to get what they want, despite the state of the kingdom. It is in this way that even during times of peace, there is much activity amongst the nobles, and the intricate web of politics is forever being spun.
I shall take the role of the eldest son of Rickard, Prince Olwyn of the house of Quendor, Heir to the Throne. He is 24 years old, tall and lithe, with golden-brown hair and green eyes. He is used to getting his own way, as the eldest son of a King normally does, and, in short, is a spoiled brat. Yet, for all his whining and stubbornness, he is both cunning and intelligent, and, whilst he would not engage in open attacks on people (He is both too civilised and too frail for that sort of action, though he will only put it down to one of the above), he is sly and backstabbing.
He is also married (I won’t give any details about his wife, in case someone would like to take her role), but this is not where his sex life ends. He is also secretly having an affair with his sister (Again, I won’t give any details) in the hopes of “keeping the Quendor blood pure”. But that’s not all. He also uses many of his personal servants as sex tools (both male and female).
Alright. Anyone want to jump in, feel free to. All the characters I have mentioned above (Except Prince Olwyn, of course) are available, that is, King Rickard, Olwyn’s wife, Olwyn’s sister/King Rickard’s daughter, as well as any of Olwyn’s servants. I’ve left all of these characters fairly vague, so feel free to fill in the details for us. If none of these characters strike your fancy, feel free to create your own. I have left it open-ended as to whether Olwyn and his sister have any other siblings, the only limitation there is that Olwyn, at 24, is the eldest son of Rickard, that is, he would have no older brothers, though younger brothers are very possible, and sisters either older or younger. Or you can take the role of one of the Noble Lords and Ladies of the Court, struggling for personal foothold in the cutthroat world of politics.
If you have any other characters that you would like to implement (i.e. a character that is not a part of the Court), feel free to PM me with ideas, but I would like you to get the OK from me before jumping in with such a character.
Other than that, feel free to jump in with a character. Give us some basic details and jump right on in.
And, remember, I’m hoping you’re very open minded with your characters, I for one would like to see all sorts of different activities going on here. (Both sexual and non-sexual.)
Last, but not least, if I’ve forgotten anything, feel free to leave me a PM – I’ll get to your query ASAP. Hope to see you joining this.
