[OOC] Rule and Decree

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Incognito on Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:53 pm

"Rule and Decree"

It’s 1097, two years after Pope Urban II called upon the Christian faith to join a war against the Turks. The Siege of Antioch has begun and isn’t predicted to end anytime soon. Despite this, members of the Church are confident of victory. The Crusade has progressed slowly but surely and Jerusalem, the holy city, is predicted to fall in the next few years.
Due to the Crusade, new wealth has flooded into the European nations. New lands have fostered great material wealth and agriculture has exploded in an effort to feed the warring armies. New families have been founded; castles abandoned by their previous Lords, who have died in the Crusade or just never returned, have been “acquisitioned” by nobles newly risen to power as well as questing knights returning from war.
It is a time of great change, where the middle-classes and noble-classes have blended together and anyone, at any moment, can rise to the top.
You are one such newly established noble. Whether you are a knight, a caretaker, a rival noble, or even a simple merchant, risen to new heights by the trade brought in from the middle east, you have recently acquired a new castle from a Lord who has been forgotten with time. Your subjects are unruly, the peasantry lacking direction since their Lord has been away. Military strength is at an all-time low, as most of the armies have been called away to the Crusades. The nobles who inhabit your recently acquired land plot your demise and seek to supplant you. Will you rule through military might, creating an order of ruthless knights who follow your every command without question? Will you choose a diplomatic path, negotiation your way into the political fray to acquire newfound riches? Or will you make your own path, something no one has ever seen before?
As you sit in your newly acquired throne, you know it will not be easy. Whatever your choices, you must act quickly for there are whispers of something dark brewing in the east, that the sins of man have opened the gates of hell. Despite what you may or may not think of these tales of fancy, only a fool chooses to ignore a possible threat completely.

I'd love to be a part of this roleplay! Only if I could be a daughter or a wife of a scadelous Lord. xP

This looks interesting... In the short time i've looked at it, i've already thought of a character concept!
But i'll wait until a proper character goes up so that I know what you want from a character sheet, Incognito.

Yes, but it's one deliberately left nondescript so as to represent the faceless masses/NPCs. I don't think he/she wants us writing our PCs like that...

Vengeance is indeed correct. The character sheet on the information tab is what I want everyone to use, no matter what position you're playing. The only difference between the Lord/Lady character and the other characters is the Stats Sheet that goes along with it. The stats sheet will give me a feel for you're Lord/Lady's personality and the sort of problems they'll be faced with as well as how the public will perceive their decrees and actions.

Bump!

Note: We have two Lords, both adequately developed. It would be nice if someone could roll a Lady! Just to mix things up.
