Introduction



Peace was a relative term, but a rocky truce withstood. Thirty-two years of such strained peace had past. It was a record in the history of Calisma, a world that had been broken by war since before the records began. Those old enough to remember before the harmony recall the distress it was to live in such a time. Constant war ripped the continent, death to pay for land that was only to be lost the next day. Magic was rampant, untamed and unrefined. Aggression peaked into what would be known as the Sortelige Wars. Crude and wild sorcery created pandemonium; killing the wielders as often as those they aimed at. It was a savage world.

It was a savage world that was subdued. One man rose from the masses and put purpose to the hordes. His words brought the cessation of the wars. He created the Guild to unite the mages across the realm, and forbade the use of magic without the seal of such Guild. Cities rose and fortified, magic became art and the world flourished. The new peace that rose from such treaties united the nation, and in response he was crowned Dazus Errion, First King of Calisma.

The reign of Errion has been prosperous, but the King had fallen ill to some mysterious ailment. Some say disease, others say sorcery, but all agree that if their King doesn't recover then the realm will fall back into chaos. The court counsel offered up a reward for anyone that can cure the King, but no one is yet to claim the prize. The sole surviving Prince, Rydas, was desperate to save his failing father. He gathered a mismatched band of adventurers and set off in search of one last thread of hope: Panacea. It was a necklace of immense magical power, said to grant health to anyone that wears it. It was found, but comrades were lost, and as the last heir to the throne laying dying on a citadel floor, Panacea resurrected him. However, it was at the cost of his fathers life.

Calisma is kingless. Outside forces, that would see the King pass and have their own hand at the crown, are moving in from shadows towards the castle. The citizens are frightened, ready to rebel. Even members within the royal walls are congregating. The adventurers return to Calisma to set Rydas on the throne. Will the new King be be crowned in time to quell the rising opposition? Will the people be satisfied by their new ruler? Will friends remain friends, or will new enemies emerge?

One month has passed since the adventurers found Panacea, a mythical amulet sought out to heal the failing King. One month has passed since Dazius Errion, First King of Calisma has died. The realm is in mourning for the loss of the man that united them all. More and more people arrive in Paetax daily to show their respects for their fallen leader, and in excitement for the new crowning. Rydas, First Prince, is to be crowned the new king. As new people flood the castle and capital city there are as many friends as enemies joining the ranks. War has taken a new front: politics. Key groups struggle to gain control. Rebel groups are forming, the Guild reach for more power, and the council itself is torn. Calsima teeters on the brink of chaos, still, with only Rydas and his sister able to hold it in tact. Of all the new, and familiar faces, which will be the ones they can trust?

Rules

As well as the common rules for roleplaying there are a few additional ones that you will be expected to uphold:

- Minimum 300 words per post.
- Post at least once per week.
- Use bold to denote speaking and italics to denote thinking.
- Write in third person past tense.
- Please, no anime pictures.
- Adult characters.
- Magic and divine powers are reserved for identifying classes only.
- Flaws add interest, but an orphaned character who has lost everything is a tad cliche.
- Calisma is, at this time, only human.
- Any character without a sheet will be consider an NPC and fully movable by other players.

Please feel free to make suggestions for new characters classes, plot lines or twists, or world building either in the OOC thread or via PM. If for some reason you feel you should be an exception to one of the above rules please contact Modesty in private. Characters will be selected on a "as fits" basis, opposed to first come first serve, in order to create the best possible dynamics between the characters. All submitted characters go through a revision process. This will be done so out of a desire for a long-term roleplay.

By submitting a character you are agreeing to be in compliance with these rules. I reserve the right to change or add any, at any time, and will inform you if any such alterations are made. Please be aware that there may be adult themes that fit within the terms of service of roleplaygateway.com
