The story is in the year 1400, in the fictional realm of Harrowfall. The land is divided into three factions. The Noble yet savage Gandians. The Royal yet honorable Mershians, and the selfish yet wise Tamigons. Wars between Gandia and Mershim are becoming more and more fierce as time goes on. Diplomatic relationships are becoming strained. Tamigar acts as neutral area but it has problems of its own.

RULES

This is an instant reply RP but paragraph RPing is also acceptable.
Character name-before any post
<speech that is not in the common tongue goes in angle brackets rather than Quotes>
the written word goes in bold
(out of character dialog goes like this)

No Player Humans, be something interesting please.

Attacking a member of another faction is perfectly acceptable, but it is considered bad RP etiquette to attack an offline person. Friendly fire is also bad etiquette. Please try to remember the politics of your current situation, whatever it may happen to be at the time.

Remember you can declare an attack but you can't decide whether or not it lands. Only a DM of this thread or the person being attacked can decide if the hit lands. but don't make yourself invincible. You are not a god. This is a game, make it fun.

If you die, too bad, just make a new character. (some characters may beg survival for the good of the plot.)

And remember The DMs have the last word

if you have any questions send them to me in a Private Message with the title Harrowfall thread.

*packs bag*
"well ive finished now to set off on my quest"

(Didn't expect to see you as the first player)

(fixed)

(I hope we get players quickly)

*Trains in the mountain castle, practicing hitting targets 80 meters away*
Good, they all hit.

*walks out of his cave and looks around noticing 2 birds flying in the sky*
"i wonder what it would be like to fly"
*walks on*

Mog sits on the side of a hill watching his Chocobo graze while humming to himself.
"nice and quiet"

Gar crouches on the edge of a cliff, overlooking a Mershian encampment just outside of Gandian borders. He stands and stretches for a good while. Crouching like that for too long would give him a bent back and bad knees. After a few minutes, he goes back to his watch, looking for anything that would give away an encroachment upon his nation's borders.

*Looks upon the direction Gar was in, not entirely sure if he saw something up there or not, and decides to send some knights in that direction*

The knights that moved into Gandia's borders only signaled to Gar that Mershim intended hostility. He stood, putting two fingers on a tattoo on his shoulder. The swirling design glowed blue. "Ja'Zet." The whispered trigger word released the mana contained in the mystic tool stamped on Gar's body, allowing it to flow throughout his entire body. As his eyes snap open, the green-red iris was replaced with the crackling blue of speed. In a matter of seconds, Gar stands in front of the contingency of knights, his sword drawn, resting on his shoulder. His other hand rests on his belly, next to a second tattoo.

"What is the meaning of this? You are trespassing on Gandian borders."

*Vada is flying over the nations, and lands in a forest clearing to rest.* "I hope there is enough meat here, I'm starving, and humans don't taste good."

*Mog looks up and watches Vada fly over him and smiles*
"hello Magister Vada"

"Hi Mog. What brings you to these parts?"

"wanting peace and quiet, you?"

*Akira pushed her hair back as she walked into the castle. She had pulled her neck cloth away from the bottom half of her face. She did not need a disguise within the walls. She had come into the castle for rest. She had just completed a job that had required her to seat in a Watering House for an entire night. It had been a tiring mission that ended with a brawl. Akira sighed and went in search of others.*

(eating people? )

(Dragons don't eat people, unless there are no other choices.)

*Vada strechted out, then mumbled a spell and a large moose instantly ran out of the trees. She flung her tail and killed it with an instant blow, magically removing edible pieces.*

(a good dragon woudl not consider that a choice)
(also, lol at magic butchery)

"Zefiir noticed a person or thing looking over the castle, possibly meaning to scout to attack or to seige. We were merely sent to investigate the hill it was standing on, and that alone."
