Introduction
When the king was 50 his wife bore him a son, but this young child had none of the kindness of his father in him. The child was cruel to his core, capturing and killing small animals just for the fun of it; always making them suffer before finishing them. When his father learned of what was happening he immediately started to discipline the boy and teach him the proper way of the world. And it seemed to work, but the child was faking.
Jump ahead to 10 years ago, the King suddenly falls ill and dies with no explanation and his son is crowned King. That is when the problem begins. Unlike his father the son rules with an iron fist, making laws that take away the freedoms from Aesmund's many citizens. He condones racism and feels that humans are the superior of the races in the world, he is raising an army at this moment to march upon the many different kingdoms who split away from Aesmund when his father died. The King is actively seeking out the tome of ancient knowledge that will allow him to summon and control demons so he can rule the whole world instead of just Aesmund.
Is there anyone who will rise up against the Evil Dictator? Or will the world of Aesmund be forever cast into the shadows and left to the demons? Grab your swords, its time to kick some ass.
Races
Humans- The basic race. Capable of doing almost anything when they put their mind to it. They are a strong race and can cast magic along with being great with a blade. But humans are weak of heart and fall easily to corruption from outside sources. They have average night vision and make great leaders.
Elves- One of the oldest races on Aesmund. The elves are capable of great feats of agility and magic. The elvish rangers are known for their skills with a sword or a blade, specializing in either one or the other to be the best they can be. Elves are a distrusting race, and most dislike humanity for the destruction they cause and leave behind wherever they settle.
Dwarves- Dwarves are the oldest of the races. They tell stories of how the first dwarf was born from a rock when lightning struck. Dwarves are a stout breed who have tremendous stamina and are known for their great feats of strength. They prefer to stay within their mountain strongholds but will venture out at times when they feel the need to go on an adventure. Dwarves are quick to anger but are among the most loyal of friends one could have.
Orcs- Orcs are a race of large humanoids. They have tremendous strength and have been known to rip trees up from the earth and use them as weapons when all else fails them. Orcs are a race of very few words, and are known to sell their skills to the highest bidders.
Fairies- A race of small beings. They are about the size of a small dog and fly around faster than the untrained eye can follow. Due to their small size they need specialized equipment and weapons which can be quite spendy because of the care for detail that must go into it. Fairies excel at magical skills and are among the best mages one will ever find, able to use specialized magic that is only available to their race. The myth is that if you catch a fairy it will stick by your side until it feels it has earned its freedom.
Goblins- A race of small humanoids. Goblins stand at about 3 feet tall and are among the greatest thieves. They are quick with their hands and tricky. The will weasel there way into any situation they think could earn them some money. If you are traveling with a goblin keep your possessions close or they won't be yours for long.

"I need to find the leader of the Silverhawke Mercenary Company. Hopefully he can help me gather a force to bring down the king... If not, I'm more than enough for a couple of soldiers and a king." He continued to ponder as he finally found the path that led to the nearest town, Mulho. At that very moment two men dressed in all black jumped out from behind a large boulder and went to either side of Tsuinken.
"Give us what gold ye got, and maybe we will let you live!" Snarled the man that stood to Tsuinken's right and slightly behind him.
"Drop the pouch and leave the weapons," The man on the left said with a crossbow drawn and aimed at Tsuinken's heart.
"Are you sure you want to do this..." Tsuinken said, his voice losing its usual friendly lilt and replaced with a dark, dangerous voice, "I promise neither of you will live..."
"You hear that Charlis? This bloke here thinks he can take us both, the legendary Thief Brothers!" The one in front said laughing at the one behind.
"Last chance boy, drop the gold and go..." The other man said as he advanced closer to Tsuinken.
"Okay...just let me loosen the strap from around my waist..." Tsuinken said slyly as he moved his hands close to his swords and the suddenly pulled them from their sheaths dropping low as the crossbow bolt flew over his head, ruffling his hair.
"Missed me!" He yelled as he pushed off the ground and flipped backwards, avoiding the sword blow he knew was coming. As he landed he stabbed forward with both swords piercing the first Thief's lungs. Pulling his right handed sword out he flicked his wrist and sent the lightweight weapon slicing through the air and into the other Thief's heart.
"Sorry boys...I warned you..." Tsuinken said to the bodies as he gingerly pulled his swords from each of them. "May your souls forever rest peacefully..." Looking up he noticed the sign that pointed further down the path and said 'Mulho'. "Maybe Jager will be here...Unlikely but maybe." Tsuinken said and finished his sentence with one shrill whistle. From the sky dropped a hawk that landed lightly on his shoulder and rode there as he advanced toward Mulho, and toward his destiny.

Duluk had little time to think however, he heard a slight rustle of brush before the form of a giant appeared. It looked like a grotesque, bulky human the size of a tree.
"Come 'ere, little Orc. Stealin' ain't tolerated." It stated in a blunt, accented voice. With a heave, it raised an enormous wooden club and advanced toward Duluk.
"I was-" Duluk managed to say this before sprinting off in fear of the beast. It was quickly gaining on him, so he turned to fight in likely vain. The giant bought its club down on Duluk's location with a grunt of anger. Duluk found just enough time to dodge the blow and took the opportunity to strike. He swung his axe into the giant's massive leg, cutting deep into the flesh and causing the giant to wail loudly. Duluk stepped back a bit before leaping up and sinking his axe into the giant's torso. The giant tried to stand, but fell back in its weak state.
Duluk felt a burst of confidence as he strolled back to the giant camp and salvaged some food before setting off again.

"Sir," the burly orc bowed.
Jager took a deep drink from his flagon of ale. "What news do you have, Brulan?"
"You may want to finish your meal first, sir." Even though Brulan had a reputation for being stoic, he looked uncomfortable. That was what worried Jager.
"No, deliver the news to me now. I won't mind."
"Very well, sir." The orc took out a canvas sack that was dripping ... blood? Jager instantly regretted not finishing his meal, but he had no appetite now anyway.
Brulan opened the bag and Jager motioned for him to come closer. The orc held the bag open.
A severed head was inside. Or at least, Jager thought it was a head, because its face had been so horribly mutilated that its features were almost completely unrecognizable.
"Who ... Brulan, who is that?" Jager asked, forcing back bile.
Brulan took a look at the head, frowning. "I think ... I think it's Fiorin. Or Rhurin. No, it's Fiorin. The remaining ear looks pointed."
"How did this happen? How ...?" the mercenary commander was unable to speak, and managed to gesture weakly at the head. Fiorin. He knew that boy, young for an elf and eager to join the Silverhawkes three years ago. The elf told him he'd been working to feed his younger sister; they'd been in poverty since their parents died.
"A courier came by, bearing the King's seal. Fiorin was sent on a scouting mission in the forests about two weeks ago, to check if there were bandits. He never came back."
Jager was quiet for a moment. "The King's seal, you say?"
"Yes sir. I've ... heard news that the King has been ... intolerant of non-humans."
"I see." Jager nodded slowly, like an old man. "You're dismissed, Brulan. Come by later and we'll talk. And give Fiorin ... what's left of him, a proper burial." Brulan bowed and left the tent, taking the severed, brutalized head of young Fiorin with him.
Even after he left, Jager kept seeing Fiorin's severed head, dripping blood, the remaining eye slack and blind, his face barely recognizable.
"What do you say, Jager?" he murmured to himself, swilling a bit of the ale. "Do you have the stones to rebel against the king?"

"Greetings, Orcish brethren; what is it you seek?" Duluk asked in a polite, stoic tone.
"Silence, thieving filth!" Exclaimed one Orc, who was visibly larger than the other. He approached Duluk menacingly and raised a shortsword to his throat, twsiting it around and causing a scratching sound on his beard hairs. Duluk gulped loudly and began to sweat in a tense fear.
"We're bringing you back to our great chief so that you may answer for your crimes." The smaller Orc stated darkly. He quickly made his way behind Duluk and pushed him, gesturing for him to walk. The larger Orc lead the way as they trekked through the forest. Duluk was upset and confused; he hadn't stolen anything from the giant, it was all a misunderstanding.

"I am Duluk Wide-Gaze, and I belong to no clan; my father, my brothers, and I moved to mannish territory when I was young. I have been travelling throughout the land seeking folk who aim to bring down the racist man-king. The incident that occurred in the forest was a misunderstanding, I presume." Duluk took a deep breath before continuing his explanation. "Frederic seeems to have taken me for a thief, but that is not what I am. I was simply inspecting his camp."
The speech was long and straightforward, and Duluk was confident that the Orcs would trust him. He looked down at the ground, and then to the Orc chief, and then back to the ground.
"I can offer you my axe in service, if you'll accept it."
Duluk pulled his axe from behind a strap on his back armor and kneeled down, raising the axe to the Orc chief in a respectful manner.

"What be your business in Mulho?" A voice spoke from behind the door.
"I'm just passing through," Tsuinken said trying to quickly figure out what to tell the guard if he asked for more details.
"Where ya heading then?" The guard asked as he opened the slit in the door so he could see Tsuinken.
Damn...Now what do I tell him? Tsuinken thought to himself as he quickly thought of something to say. "I'm heading to the next down, Litar, to see my family. I received word my father was dying..." Tsuinken let his voice drop a tone to make it sound sad as he said the last part.
"I'm sorry son..." The guard said awkwardly as he opened the door, "The town bar is in the square if you want to drown your sorrows."
"Thank you..." Tsuinken said as he shuffled past the guard and headed straight towards the bar, 'The Dragon's Treasure'.
He entered the bar but no one seemed to notice, so he took a seat in the back dark corner far from the door but near to a window in case escape was needed. I should sit here and listen for word of where Jager is currently located, the head there as soon as possible. If there is no word by nightfall I shall take a room and leave at first light. He thought to himself.
"-me?" A voice made Tsuinken come out from inside of himself.
"I'm sorry what were you saying?" Tsuinken said as he looked at who had spoken to him. It was one of the bars serving girls, and she was rather attractive. She stood at around five feet tall and had raven black hair and slightly tanned skin.
"I was asking, sir, if you would like a drink? We can't really just let you sit here and take up space if you aren't having anything." Her voice was like velvet and was warm and inviting.
"Well in that case bring me whatever the house special for food is today and a glass of water, I don't drink."
"Yes, sir," The woman spoke softly as she turned away and headed into the kitchen. Tsuinken perked his ears up and listened for any word of Jager's location.

Re: [OOC] Aesmund: War of Ages
Since I quite enjoy characters who defy convention and the image of a short, drunken, angry, racist slinging fireballs is just too good to pass up.
