Every two years, the inhabitants of Tarsha participate in a Blood Oath ceremony. All masters who own slaves or servants are to prepare one or two slaves for a sacrifice to the apparent gods. However which of the slaves is up to the gods. In order to allow them to choose, the masters send out one/two of the least desirable slaves and set them loose. These slaves are called the Bound as they are now bound to the Blood Oath celebration. It is believed that the more slaves you sacrifice, the higher the blessing and the more likely your more worthy slaves will be spared. Exactly three hours after the first slaves are released, two hunters are also released. These are the most honoured of the slaves/servants. There job is to recapture the Bound. If the Bound are re-captured they are punished using various torture techniques before being publically executed and sacrificed. If the Hunted fail to bring back the Bound they will take the Bound's place. The ceremony has been celebrated for centauries. The Blood Oath ceremony is near. Will you be Bound or become Hunters.




Basic Plotline:
You will be either Bound servants or Hunters. There is also an opportunity for people to be a master, however they will need to be skilled roleplayer's and also need to have strong character sheets. Another role is also a run away, a slave that has decided to escape with the Bound either through friendship, love or just for freedom. The roleplay will start when some new slaves are purchased for the masters (these slaves cannot be Hunters). After they are purchased they will be taken back to the masters house and will begin to serve and meet the other slaves/servants. After this the masters will chose the Bound and Hunters (obviously this will have already been worked out, but we will roleplay it out). After this the Bound will be released, and later the Hunters. The Hunters will then proceed to find the Bound. After this it is really up to us, though I will add that there is always a possibility of the Bound being captured, but later being rescued by the others…


Rules about Slavery.
1. Slaves/Servants must be given the sign of their masters to show ownership. (This will either be an earing, ring, tag etc. depending on the master's taste)
2. Slaves/Servants must remain silent unless spoken to. (Obviously this is a rule that is and can sometimes be broken by characters, though punishments may occur)
3. Slaves/Servants are not to associate themselves with other slaves/servants (This is another rule typically broken, but severely punished)
4. The Bound, once chosen, must be branded on the left side of the neck to mark them.
5. The Hunters must be given trackers. (Trackers ensure the Hunted can't escape like the Bound. The only piece of modern technology in the rp)



Setting:
The setting is almost identical to Ancient Rome with the exception of the trackers. There are no modern weapons or technologies.
