Introduction
The ancient lands the kingdom was founded upon contain a dark history where wars of elementals, dragons, and all living things collided. Many adventurers come upon small temples and shrines giving glimpses of the past. Worshiping strange gods and even the elementals, all seeking atonement, forgiveness, or even power. As time went on a very peculiar ritual was discovered, the power to control the elementals... With such power one could easily conquer the kingdom of Runefaust, any other kingdom, and possibly even the other planes.
The ritual is not so simple though. It requires much preparation and unvieling of ancient magics. It was with the revelation of one such magic that caught the attention of Kalkahnor. He felt the disturbance and quickly found the shrine where the ritual was detailed. Knowing that such power existed and that someone somewhere was seeking to unlock it, he knew that he must act. But with ancient magics that would source from elementals he would need help. Even being a skilled sorcerer he would not be able to overcome a primal elemental should even one stand in his way. He quickly sent out a plea for help, offering wealth of any sort to try and bring out the most powerful of allies...
He awaits them at the Coughing Raven...
Rules
We ask that when it becomes available for others to join, that you have a character with depth as well. We want more than just "because everyone needs this" or "A dark past shrouded in shadow with a mysterious persona."
No god modded characters. We aren't saying make your character die. Make your character believably challenged. We shouldn't have to wait until we get to a climactic fight for you to make more than a few sword swings to show you are being challenged. Having items that solve every problem is hardly any fun either.
Work WITH us. The only way to be truly immersed is to interact with the players. The story has its villians already. And going around destroying someone else's work is just plain rude. You don't have to be good. You just have to be able to justify your acts, or make yourself seem invaluable (such as having saved someone, or have skills that others don't)
As a side note, this roleplay is heavily referenced from Dungeons and Dragons. Picking up a few books or downloading some of them will prove useful in seeing some of the creatures that we present. As all of us are pretty savvy when it comes to that knowledge base, we don't find it necessary to describe every small detail of the creatures.

OOC Notes
Runefaust
The large bustling capitol that the kingdom was named after. Also known as the "Pinnacle of the Planes" for many travelers and adventurers. Here, one could find everything and nothing all in the same area. If it had a price it could be sold, if there was a job... well, it was left to the guilds to handle. Managed blindly from inside the fortress by King Artaimis, the guilds maintained control, making guards a formality.
The Guild aptly named held absolute control of the economy in the capitol providing an overlord protection to not only the people, but to the guilds from each other as well. No lower-classed citizen would ever pay the mind however, the thought loomed over middle class, and the uppers... well the corruption ran deep into their own pockets.
Kalkahnor sat at a table in the Coughing Raven Pub sipping his while intently keeping his eyes on the doorway. Any minute now his plea for help would be answered. He had sent out a "Merc Call" requesting mercenaries from the outside lands so as not to arouse suspicion within the kingdom. He stared out the window in contemplation.
And now... I wait... Hopefully this will be a better turnout...
OOC Notes
Jetharius arrived at the city gates long before the guards had withdrawn and the gates lowered, he quickly paced through the streets. This had been the first time he had been in public eyes in ten years, more than a few eyes followed the billow of his cloak, trying to catch more than a glimpse at his swords. Jetharius arrived at the Mage's guild before the doors were locked by a stroke of luck. The old guildmaster eyed him wearily but allowed the hooded human within.
Once inside the guild master asked, "A bit late for an appointment no?"
Jetharius sighed, "My travels have lasted a day and more, I require some reagents of specific design"
The guild master replied, "A simple request, what do you require?"
Jetharius named off four reagents, "Six scrolls, two activation scrolls, two summoning scrolls, two banishing scrolls, and two vials of atomized star ruby"
The guild master paused momentarily before questioning further, "Quite a pricey list, how will you be paying?"
"Platinum astons, what else?" Jetharius responded. Surprised, the guild master hurried away, snapping up the requested components. He returned moments later with the six scrolls and two crystal vials.
"355 plastons please" The old gray guild master asked holding out his free hand. Jetharius dropped a heavy coin sack in his proffered palm and offered his free hand for the materials. The guild master handed him the materials and peeked into the purse. Brilliant white-silver coins filled the bag. The old mage raised his eyebrows and looked up, just in time to catch the door hinging shut.
Jetharius rounded the first alleyway and pulled out his magical dagger, keying his way into his demi-plane, his home.
The tiny plane was dark and cool, the soft grass crunching under his footfalls. He proceeded into the depths of his tiny mountain lair and retrieved two solid bricks of metal, one gold, one palladium. He bit a chunk straight out of both and smelted the metal with his diffused breath. Chewing the metal like soft dough, Jetharius shuffles about for his sized ring cast. He forces the soft metal into the cast with his mouth and lets it cool before splitting the cast apart and repeating the process for a second ring. He swallows the remaining metal and sets to work polishing the two gold rings. After he finished polishing the metal he sets to carving a complex series of runes on the inside of the bands spelling out a long draconic spell worded in wild-magic. Once complete, Jetharius unfurls the six scrolls and sets them upon each other in sets of three. He then sets the ring in the middle of the stack of scrolls and pours the ruby dust inside the ring. Raising a hand over each ring Jetharius channels his magic into the power of the scrolls willing his wild magic to fuel the spell set in the rings to combine with that of the arcane scrolls. The ink of the scrolls glistens and melts into the ruby which then liquifies and coalesces into the band of the ring. Opening his eyes Jetharius examines the work of his spell, re-reading his carved ruby filled inscription. A sparkle of fresh magic dancing over the lettering of the rings. Jetharius slipped them on idly and unsheathed both Miirvyth and Aeshtier, his swords. He set them down gently on the workbench and set his hands upon them. He channeled his intent into the rings to bind to the swords while the spell was still fresh. A fiery sheathe creeped over the blades, consuming them entirely. The blaze grew until the swords vanished from view altogether. Jetharius inverted his hands, his palms facing up and re-emphasizing his will. A fiery mote appeared in his palm which in the matter of only seconds grew into a vertical blaze from which both Miirvyth and Aesthier materialized. Pleased Jetharius dismissed his weapons then relocated to his quarters and retired for the night.
Tomorrow he would find Kalkahnor.

Re: [OOC] Runefaust
my users on there is Kay, Axel Dahn, and Kei Dibble. but that is a sample of some of my work. while some of my pm's will have spelling issues i do use word document in all of my posts before posting. ;) your RP sounds very exciting and i have read a bit of it so far. i am currently unable to see the very 1st posts of the RP for some reason due to some internet quirks.
my submitted character is called Karaglen.

That's what I would call poor time management.
But if they want to be a part of this they better get their rear in gear, otherwise you might want to look into new players? :/
As for the intros, we can move them to a different section later. On a side note, the intros are a good for while we're waiting for all the players.
And also I suggest we make a thorough and organized description about certain cultural aspects of a place that people might not know, either Runefaust or other places within the roleplay.
For example, the currency. What is the currency of Runefaust? What do people usually do? Population info? Stuff like that. I mean we can all assume the normalcies from generic D&D, but the OTHER details will help people fall into the play setting better. If someone was planning on this already, thanks & awesome! I'll be happy to see it be implemented.
Again, while it's good to be freestyle, it's also better to be a little more organized for a better roleplay experience and everyone can enjoy themselves and not have to worry if someone might have a qualm. (thank goodness for "edit")
Cheers~

Mari and I have posted our intro's, im about to post a followup to mine. Pretty much initiate your post as you see fit at this point. We all need to start off at the coughing raven at some point or another. If not its a game of catch-up y/k?

The thread owner intends to keep this RP a private function for the time being. i.e. only accepting requests from people of a long lost RP in the ages of high school some 4 years ago. We decided to resurrect it here, once we have the complete team reassembled then it may open up to others. But again, I don't own the thread so... Its all up to Crack-anor. Sorry Cypher 8(
