Magia Maledicto
It has been twenty years since the law was passed that saw magic outlawed, ten years since an incident that destroyed one section of the castle resulted in magic becoming a crime punishable by death. The king is resolute. Magic only destroys; a dark force that must be wiped out at all costs. The people who witnessed the days of magic and the work of the High Priestesses still remember them fondly. There isn't many that believe the story that the Queen was murdered, but nobody dares to step out of line. Defending one of magical blood has often led to the person sharing the same fate as the witch.
The children of the past twenty years have been told to fear magic. Magic leads to no good. Magicians passing through, the dwindling few oblivious to the strictest of all laws, have been arrested, or once or twice, lynched by the blood-thirsty and ignorant mob.
Despite the loss of magic, the kingdom has not suffered any major disasters. Corruption runs through the kingdom, but it is rarely obvious. Most of the populace remain happy; there is still enough food, water, wealth and land for all. As long as you are not one of them that is.
Over time, a grudge has developed in parts of the magical community, especially within the younger sect. They have been run from their homes, many forced to wander aimlessly or live in the dense forest or mountains in order to escape persecution. The High Priestess is believed to be alive, but her existence only adds to the bitterness of many; why does she sit and do nothing while her people suffer? Their numbers are few, and their resources are limited as of yet, but a force of young magicians is living in the forests that surround the capital city of Burgeness. Waiting and watching. Mingling occasionally with the people. Trying to win back not just their rights, but trying to take the kingdom for themselves and rebuilt a haven for all those of magical blood.
Many, including the High Priestess herself, believe that this will pass. The Prince has a good heart and a pure soul, and that one day, he will see reason, and restore all of his people to their rightful place. Letting this gaggle of youngsters wage war against the ordinary people will tip the balance against them once and for all. Their reputation as being evil and corrupt will be cemented, and magic will truly die out.
Invisible tensions are growing beneath the happy and peaceful exterior of the kingdom. War is heading towards the horizon at a frightening pace, and it is your decision that could swing the outcome.
The plot of this role play will be heavily influenced by the personalities and attitudes of the different characters. As such, I have only provided a brief description of each role. The main roles are as follows, if anyone requires more information on a role, if it is here or not, don't be afraid to PM me!
