“I was sitting in a tavern when the messenger burst into the bar. We were foolish that evening, my guardsmen and I. Some of us had just taken out a small group of bandits and we had decided to celebrate the victory with a pint or to. We were well on our way to our drunken stupor when the young lad burst onto the scene. Mud had already caked the bottom of his legs, and a few cuts and bruises. A look of exhaustion pained his face and he braced himself against the door frame; how weak he looked. Somehow, through the crowds of people and loud noises his message was heard by all.

“Our Great King Amar is dead, his army slaughtered. A horde of unknown creatures pours out of the canyon in the far west and marches unopposed here.”

“Silence quickly fell upon the crowds, all stunned what this young boy had just said. We all took a quick look at each other before we rushed out, heading first to the armory then to the walls. We numbered only five hundred hundred men strong, five hundred hundred men left to defend a city of many. I, as this great cities Watch Capitan, quickly issued orders to my men, sending fifty of my youngest and most inexperienced guards to escort the civilians out of the town through the mountain path in the east.

But for me and my men, we stayed behind. We needed this unknown enemies to focus his attention on us, and allow our civilians to escape. We thought our walls were strong enough to hold for a night and a day, two if lucky. We thought we could hold our own against this unknown enemy. But as the forms of the enemy came in view, and their features made known, we learned our situation to be hopeless. Spread out in front of us for as far as the eye could see was a sea of monsters. Many were small, broken at the back and ugly in the face. Their body seemed to be partially bent at their back, forcing them to run and walk with the assistance of their free arm. Their faces were shrived like a prune, and their hair more thin and coarse than any old or sick man I have ever seen. Some were larger, and carried a shield and long sword. Their form most resembled our soldiers, yet their faces made them distinct. Massive tusks jut from under their dark helmets, and their corpse like hair made me cringe with fear. Our walls held for an hour before they were breached, and the flood of those unholy creatures flowed into our city. We tried to fight them in the streets only to be washed away; like we were not there to start with.

At day break, only me and four of my men had escaped the bloodshed. Upon the nearby hill we looked down at the monsters below. Burning every house they could get a torch on, and murdering those stragglers who had fallen behind or refused to leave.

Our city, Talamor, was once the crown jewel of the west; a thing we were all proud of. Now all that remains is a bloodied and burnt out corpse of a once great center of wealth. We fought our way out of the area; through scared and scattered bandits and the vanguard of that dark army; only to learn our city was the first of many. Feer la Den fell later that month and her famous guardians, the Knights of the Light, massacred. Then the Elves of Galadhon were driven from their ancestral homeland. Indeed, only the Dwarves and their strongholds deep in the mountains have been spared, but reports indicate that they themselves face a great evil lurking in the depths.

And here we sit, in this dim lit tavern just down the road from the Great divide and the Sky bridge that crosses it. The enemy approaches this gateway to the east, and we are ready to stand tall against the darkness. We will hold this castle for as long as we can, and allow the great castle across the bridge time to ready it's defenses. But we will not just bide time for them to live, we shall hold and we shall be victorious!”


~ A speech by Knight – Commander Lord Bali, commander of the garrison at the Castle First Reach, gate way to the bridge and to the east. He and his men lasted one week before being overrun


What is history?

The land of Dalan has a history shrouded as much so secrecy as blood. Books are filled with stories of great warriors leading massive armies to victory against the forces of darkness in battle. Demons and their kind have always tried to find ways to pry their way into the realm of mortals, be it through the use of a desperate mages desperation through power or through a weakness in the barrier that separates our realms. Often, these hero's arise when an Elder Demon arises; and together with the people of the land thrust a sword deep into their black hearts and end the conflict.

But the land of Dalan has found itself faced with an even more sinister threat, and no hero nor army to face it. The God of the Dead, Alun, along with a horde of soldiers so massive it is considered numberless has invaded the realm in an apparent bid to grab power. With conventional means of stopping them useless, and the other gods silent, rumors have spread about his plans. All arrows point to one thing; the God of Death plans to create his own kingdom here in Dalan.

Our story starts with us; soldiers of that ill fated defense at the gateway to the east running from the burning remains of a once great castle. We must not only trek our way across the half long Sky bridge to the relative safety across the way. The greatest castle in all the land beckons you to defend her, Castle Solvano calls for your sword. Will you be the hero we need? Will you help the hero even if it is not you? Or will your choices lead to the death of our land at the hands of the God who preaches it?

Decide.


What to know?

-Enemies are varied, yet dangerous. One is more than a match for a simple soldiers, and often time they swarm in massive numbers that thwart even the best of skills and strongest of armors.
-Decisions are very important. Bad things happen when you do bad things, and good deeds are remembered. You can die many ways in this RP, but all of your own design.
-That means that if you charge head first into a vanguard of 10 enemy soldiers, chances are you will be stabbed, hacked and mangled in very messy and detailed ways.
-There will be multiple character personality's to play with, each will offer different benefits and disadvantages in terms of positive and negative traits.
-A Temple Knight will have to come with a requirement to have one positive and two negative traits, while a bard will have 3 positive and one negative trait. Each will be apart of your CS, but what i lay out will not be final. You can create your own class of soldier with the traits mapped out however you like.
-The CS will still be drawn up like normal, but this will help keep each character down to earth but also unique in your own way.
-You can choose any trait you want; be it greed, bravery, lazy, honorable and so on.


Im looking for 4-5 dedicated and active participants in this story. I hope you are one of them. ;)

You would be among the first five, so as long as your CS goes par for the course.
