http://www.roleplaygateway.com/roleplay/midnight-rebellion/Prologue- The land of Tiberen has been in turmoil since the last great war, in that war Crimeth, the land known for its strong warriors and advanced tactics was the aggressor, they wanted to rule all of Tiberen, but the alliance of Coronia, known for their advanced abilities in magic, Dregnovia, the land of the beast tribe, Gallica, the land of the bird tribe, and Florin, the land of the reptile tribe. Stopped the advancement of Crimeth and defeated them. But because of this utter humiliating defeat Crimeth was forced to rebuild all the land they had destroyed on their ridiculous campaign, this angered the people of Crimeth that their king, Fendrel, would just sit back and let this happen. The people of Crimeth revolted, because their taxes were being raised to pay off the countries debt. This drove Fendrel to do terrible things to his people, he forced his military to put down the revolt by executing any who went against him, he forced his people to pay taxes with money they didnāt have, he also forced young male and female children to join his army and be trained for war. Fendrel then decided he would get his revenge on the alliance that stopped him from controlling Tiberen, he had all the leaders of each of the countries assassinated, except for the Coronia leader, Queen Alice. This threw Dregnovia, Gallica and Florin into panic, without their leaders they were vulnerable, it also caused the people of these three countries to distrust Queen Alice, because she was the only leader not assassinated. When the three countries were finally able to put new leaders on the throne, they went to war with Crimeth, Queen Alice tried to stop this war, but the alliance would not hear of it, they couldnāt see why Queen Alice did not want them to go to war after what had happened, because their anger blinded their judgment, the alliance of the three countries were so powerful it was said you could feel the ground shake as they marched. But this was also their down fall, the generals of the Crimeth army lead the alliance into a mountain pass, and as the ground shook so did the rocks from above, causing boulders to fall down killing hundreds of the alliances soldiers. This made the alliance even angrier, they wouldnāt stop till Fendrelās head was detached from his body. And that was exactly what happened, Fendrel was killed by his own people, because his army that he had once used to put them down, had left to fight. It left Fendrel open and the people took the chance. No one was sad about the mad kingās death, he was a tyrant and all the people of Tiberen rejoiced, the people had a brief time of peace, the peace lasted for five years, then the new king of Crimeth, Edmund, who was the general to Fendrel, decided he wished to govern more land to have more people to pay taxes. Well the land they decided to take was the land of Gondal which was land that Coronia had control over. This started a small battle that Coronia quickly won. Ashamed by his failure Edmund moved on to a new land, Angria, which was a small land, it had no soldiers only farmers and a band of teenagers known as the Midnight alliance, this group of kids managed to hold their own against Crimeth soldiers, but they couldnāt hold forever and were defeated. The land of Angria was taken over and with it three more cities, Kalya, Lavernith, and Anexia, these three cities were known as the sister cities, because they were so close and helped each other. But because of Crimethās powerful soldiers the cities were taken over and taxes were given to their people. Dregnovia, Gallica, Florin and Coronia all wondered what Edmund was planning, but since they couldnāt send in spies without starting a major battle they could do nothing. Crimeth stopped itās quest for land with those four cities and they then started to build their army, mostly likely to start another war.
Main cities and countries
Crimeth- it is a somewhat large country, it takes up most of northern Tiberen. The main capital is Volren, the city is where the kingās palace is and it is guarded by a large wall. The soldiers of Crimeth are well trained and are the strongest when it comes to using weapons. Crimethās soldiers are the only soldiers that are riders, most common riders are horsemen, but they do have dragon riders, and beast riders and Pegasus riders.
Coronia- the land of the Elven people, the people of Coronia are mostly Elves, but they do have Humans and Fairies, mostly everyone in Coronia is capable of using magic, some use weapons, like bows, swords and spears. But their most powerful tool is magic. Coroniaās capitol Orithan is a village hidden in the hundred year forest. The village is guarded by the forests natural magic, any who try and get to the village to do harm to it will never find their way out in over a hundred years. It is located in the western part of Tiberen
Dregnovia- is the land of the beast tribe, the beast tribe are very kind people, they appoint their leader by strength and wisdom. The capitol of Dregnovia is Zerix. It is a desert area, the sandstorms guard the city, the desert is almost impossible to cross unless you are of the beast tribe or can fly. Located in the eastern part of Tiberen
Gallica- the land of the bird tribe, the bird tribe are strong aerial fighters, the capitol of Gallica is Drovnin, it is a island in the middle of the Golren sea, which is east of Dregnovia and Florin. The leader of this tribe is chosen by strength.
Florin- the land of the reptile tribe, the reptile tribe is strong, but they donāt flaunt their strength. The leader of this tribe is chosen by wisdom and age. The country is located south of Dregnovia.
Angria, Kalya, Lavernith, and Anexia- these four cities are a part of Crimeth, but they are located to the west of the main parts of the country, these four cities are the farthest from Volren. So few soldiers are sent to these cities. Mostly humans live here but a lot of other races have been hiding in these cities to help the Midnight Alliance take the cities back.
Main races
Humans- They are the most common, they are located in almost every country. They are the best at using weapons. But nothing else is really special about them
Elves- this race is very magical, they are capable of controlling the elements and can calm any beast if given enough time. The Elven
Fairies- they are normally about the size of a humanās index finger, but they have been known to be smaller than that. They are usually given to young Elves who have become apprentices, They are very capable healers. Some are good offensive magic users as well, but most use defensive magic.
Lytherens- they are known as were-beasts, by the humans, they take the form of humans with animal like characteristics. They are able to change into animal form at will, their agility, strength and other abilities depend on what kind of Lytheren they are. While in their human like form all Lytherens are vulnerable.
Beast Lytheren- they are the second strongest Lytheren, they are the second fastest of the Lytherens, they are very agile creatures and use their agility to their advantage.
Bird Lytheren- they are the fastest of the Lytherens, They are the weakest when it comes to strength. They can see farther than any other resident of Tiberen.
Reptile Lytheren- They are the slowest of the Lytherens, but their strength makes up for it. The dragons are faster than any other Reptile Lytherens, but they arenāt as fast as the Beast Lytherens
Classes
Trainee- they are beginners in the art of sword combat, they are trained to be fast and strike with efficiency. But because they are new to the art, they arenāt very good at it.
Hunter- They are beginner bow users, they are capable of shooting things that arenāt to far away from them. But they arenāt good at shooting things farther away. They are faster than Traineeās and can dodge well. But they arenāt good with close combat
Recruit- they use lances and spears, they are very balanced between defense and attack. They are good at fighting in the front lines.
Squire- Though not quite as strong as Recruits, the Squires take advantage of their skills while on mounts, they use lances to give them a ranged advantage. They can mount a Horse, Dragon, Beast or a Pegasus. The horses are most common because they are easily controlled.
Apprentice- they are magic users, though they only can use one element they are quite good with it. They arenāt fast or strong, so they rely on their ability to use magic from afar. They can use their magic well in both ranged and close combat, but while in close combat they are very vulnerable.
Thief- they are good with knives, they arenāt good at throwing their knives, yet but some can do it. They are experts at sneaking and stealing. They are very versatile and are handy in any fight. They have great speed and can out run almost any other novice class
Fighter- they use their hands to take down their enemies, they are good at some types of martial arts, but they are only beginners in the arts. So they mostly use it for defense to take away the enemies weapon. They have speed equal to a thief if not greater.
Traveler- They are axe users, they are the strongest of any other novice class, but their speed leaves much to be desired. They specialize in one on one combat
