OOC- Well, let's see if anything comes out of this. I want to start a story thread (obviously) that contains sex, but is not all sex. Bear with me for a few minutes, and I'll list the basic concept as well as a few of the more major characters.
BASICS-
The continent upon which this story will take place is called Norinth. Norinth is divided up into several nations. The largest of these is the Elven Nation, in the North of the continent. Typically, elves have magic, humans do not, thus their signifigant military advantage. The Inner Sea in located along their Southern Border.
To the Southeast ies the Dwarven Mountain ranges. Typically, the dwarves are isolationists, tending not to interfere with human or elven affairs.
Southwest of Elven Lands lie a nation of Barbarians called Vald. They are a fairly warlike group, and often attack the elves out of sheer race hatred. They have never had an organized force capable of doing any real damage to the Elves until recently...
South of Vald lies Ambri, a loosly organized nation, composed of individual feifs. The Ambri lords control lands that are very much the "breadbasket" of this continent, ensuring their continued wealth, despite the fragmentation of their nation as a whole. Typically, they also train the greatest cavaly force in Norinth.
East of Ambri lies two nation. The Northernmost is called Gaul. It has recently come under the rule of a dictator who has propelled the Gaul's armies to the forefront in both training and strategy. The Southern land is called Lesk, and is ruled by an "elected despot" Essentially, a ruler elected by a coucil of landowners. Lesk and Gaul have a long history of bitterness, and Lesk has recently been losing lands to Gaul's newly improved military.
East of these two lands lie the last nation on the continent. Laurin has a matriarchal society, ruled by a queen (who typically takes the name Laurin when she ascends the thone) Laurin's strength lies in it's proximity to the dwarven lands to the north (thus completing the circle) They are the only nation on trading terms with the isolationist dwarves.
In the ocean to the South of the continent lies a number of islands, called the Brema. The Brema people live and die on the Ocean. They fish, trade, sail, and pirate. A Council made of represntatives of the larger islands makes up the ruling body of Brema.
MAGIC-
I stated earlier that The Elves typically have Magic, thus their battle advantage. Magic in this world is often forged into weapons, and simply put, the elves are the best at it. Those few humans who do know the technique for placing magic into weapons have, without exception, been trained and monitered by the elves. This doesn't mean that other nations don't have magical weapons, but the supply is limited. Given Vald's relationship with the elves, they have few in the way of these weapons.
Among the magical weapons, there are a certian number of exceptionally powerful items, labelled as Mageweapons. They are:
the Ashen (A glaive with the power to null other magical weapons)
the Seril (A staff that contains healing powers that have been rumored to wake the dead)
Cutter (A longsword so keen it can passes through anything save another Mageweapon)
Daunten (A battle-axe that can reshape mass amounts of stone and earth. Need a castle? You got it)
Draxin (A katana that allows the holder to change their shape, ranging from an earthworm to a small dragon)
Dring (A small gold ring that imbues the holder with immortality. The ring can only be voluntarily given to a new owner. Should the holder lose the finger upon which the ring is placed, they will die, and a new body will grow from the finger.)
Adium (A shield that summons an adjustable dome of crystal around the holder. This barrier is impenetrable as far as can be determined. It can be extended to 25 feet)
Chrona (A warhammer that can speed or slow time around the weilder. Most useful in combat, where you seem to move so fast other often see merely a blur)
Selem (A long blade that actually contains a spirit within it. This spirit was once amoung the greatest of weapon manufacturers, as well as a wizard of no small import. To cheat death, he placed himself into a blade. His thirst for power grew however, and he organized an army against the elves. The elves sealed Selem away, but It has escaped, and found someone who hates the elves as much as It does.)
NPC's-
I tried to leave the countries and rulers vague so people could write and create as they went. There are just a few specifics I need.
Pathin- Highlord of the Elves. Carries the Ashen, is soulbound (Elven ritual which allows two people to share their thoughts) to Aerthi, the Elven queen. (Spot Taken by me)
Aerthi- Elven woman. Carries the Seril. She is mostly a sorcerer/healer, but could hold her own in a fight. (Think cleric DnD terms)-Open
Lyni- Pathin's younger sister. (Looks around 13) Claims, quite justifiably, to be the greatest swordswoman in the world. For the 70-odd years she's been alive, she has done little but train. (Due to her age in elven terms, this part cannot enter any sexual situations.)
Graves Tavin- Man organizing the barbarian "horde" into a cohesive fighting force. Is also weilding Selem. -Open
Selem- A magical, sentient weapon with no need for rest, or spell memorization. Essentially, a lich in blade form. -Open
Rulers of Gaul, Lesk, and Laurin repectively. Those who take these parts would build the nation as they saw fit in their posts, following only the loose guidelines above. they may choose to have any of the availible Mageweapons. -Open
Please feel free to invent anyone else you care to, just bare in mind, magic is a bit rare. If you're interested, please post and start writing.

IC-
Pathin was winging his way back to the Elven capital of Malquist after a near month long journey across the Western portion of his realm. After so long from home, and away from Aerthi, he was becoming very irritable. Indeed, the constant toadying of various functionaries, each trying to secure Lyni's hand when she came of age was becoming more then just an irritant. He nearly punched one lecherous old noble who had been certian Lyni would fall desperately in love with him, despite the several century age difference. The purpose of his visit had been to inspect the defenses in the Eastern portion of the realm, but these people take any opportunity they can get.
He sent a thought to Aerthi, but it seemed that she was sleeping when no response came. The elf sighed, just a bit longer, then he'd be back in his own bed, with his wife and all the frustration of the past month would be cleared. The walls of Malquist were finally in sight, and already Pathin could see a griffon moving out to join Arcus. It seemed someone was anxious to see him back. As they grew closer, Pathin realized why. Lyni was flying out to greet him, and Pathin could guess why...
"You didn't do it, did you!" the girl yelled as her mount wheeled in beside Pathin's. He grinned at his sister, deciding to have some fun.
"Do what, sister of mine?"
"You know perfectly well what! I swear if you've pawned me off to some arrogant noble..."
Pathin interrupted, drawing the name of a particularly ugly candidate for Lyni's hand. "Well, Lord Ambron made a very convincing argument..."
Lyni's scream echoed for miles...
Pathin chuckled. It was good to be home.
