Character options are very open here with the exception of vampires, demons, angels, ghosts, lycans. Acceptable characters would be more like; elves, half-elves,humans, orcs, half-orcs, dwarfs, gnomes, any sub race of the aforementioned would be fine to but you have to contain a brief description of that race.
If anyone likes my idea please let me know and I'll post something up in the OOC forums.
Forgot to mention: The story line is a bit classic but I do have some twists and turns along the way planned.
The Story
Eye of the Beholder
Nothing is as it seems........
Nothing is as it seems........
In the farthest reaches of the Crestian Sea lay the islands of Yara. A small kingdom when compared to the others of Lore. Life revolved around the importing and exporting of exotic sea and island supplied products. Such things as fish, pearls, fruit, special woods that only grew on the islands, and sponges. Although small, Yara was a rich kingdom. Unfortunately for it's people the royal family was a jealous and greedy sort.
For the last few centuries, Yara was ruled by the most self-indulgent of three kings. They taxed the working class heavily and punished many for petty crimes. Because the income of Yara revolved around the exporting of goods, farmers weren't allowed to keep any of their crops. They would have to purchase everything they needed including the food that grew by their very houses. This only served to fatten the kings' pockets even more. So life was for each of the past kings that ruled Yara. It was only until recently, after the death of King Malozar, that the people have been living in peace.
Leaving only one heir, Princess Katarina, she ruled with a gentle hand. By lowering the taxes and making life for everyone brighter, she gained the love and respect of her people. She was a beautiful young woman. Some would call her the âNymph of Yaraâ because of her goddess like looks. Her hair was so long it traveled down the length of her legs. Naturally a dark brown color, the outer most layers of hair were bleached to a copper color because of the exposure to sun. She was deeply tanned with crystal like blue eyes. You could swear she could see through to your very being as if you were an apparition.
One evening she vanished. It seemed almost out of thin air. Her personal guardsmen were on watch and swore that they knew and saw nothing of her whereabouts. They said that Princess Katarina was famous for taking strolls along the shores by herself in the middle of the night, and offered this as an explanation for her disappearance. The head of the royal guard, Vincent, ordered five of his best men to search the seashore for her. They however, never returned.
In her absence, Vincent was left to run the Kingdom as best he could. Like many of the people of Yara, he loved his princess and was adamant in finding her. After sending several searching parties for her, with no return of men or message, he decided it was time to seek more adequate help. Instead of sending his best men in search of Katarina, he sent the wisest and smartest of them overseas in search of adventurers who were capable of completing the task.
