Greetings Everyone! I have returned from a long hiatus with a Roleplay idea. The basic plot is as follows:
---------------------- The King's Contest --------------------------
The Immortal king Aldarn had ruled over the kingdom of Riwer, for five generations now. Riwer had known only peace and prosperity since the king had rode north to meet the threat of the Horde head on. He slew the barbarian king that day, parading Gruumrish's head around on a pike as the citizens cheered for their beloved king. The feasts and celebrations went on for two full weeks, and within that time Aldarn, took notice of a humble serving girl. She was indeed a diamond in the rough, the most beautiful maiden in all of Riwer, and Aldarn took her for his wife.
Thus began the golden age of Riwer, where peace reigned, and the people were happy. Aldarn took every opportunity to protect his people, riding out was not normally a kingly thing to do, however he saw it as the one thing that he could give back, protection. Any small threat from the northern hordes, the Djinn in the south, or the Elves to the west were crushed without hesitation.
During one of these campaigns, they say he was within the realm of the immortal elves, he came upon an artifact, an orb that glowed with blue-purple-and greenish hues, like the skylights in the north. It is said that when he touched the orb, the soldiers that were with him vanished, much like the grey hair and wrinkles that had started to creep up on him. He took the orb back with him to the palace, and although he brought in mage and scholar from each of the 3 continents, none could decipher how it worked. None could get it to work again.
Years passed, his wife aged, he did not.
He continued his campaigns, even sailing to the far east, none had an answer for him, until he received word from one of his messengers on his way back from the campaign. His wife was sick, she was dying. He took the fastest griffon back to Riwer, but it was too late. He threw himself on his own sword in agony, only to find that death was not the escape that he longed for. Many suicide attempts followed, the golden age was over.
The Dark ages had begun. Aldarn was haunted by the memory of his wife, and this was further compounded by the mysterious presence of a dark elf witch in his court. Rumors suggest that she is poisoning his mind, causing him to forsake his kingdom, and mourn his wife in unhealthy ways. Years passed, the kingdom was shut off to outsiders, it stagnated, much like the king.
Recently, however, one of King Aldarn's greatest generals (and good friend) passed away of old age. On his death bed he urged the king to forgive himself, to reopen the borders, to look for new love. The Dark Elf whispered in the King's ear, but it was too late, she could only influence his actions in part, for the love of his friend was too great.
The King reopened the borders of Riwer, and decreed that there would be a contest. He sent messengers to the four corners of the world, relaying the rules of the contest. If any woman throughout the world could entrance him as much as his first wife, he would take them as his queen, be it Elf, Dark Elf, Djinn or even Orc, all of the glory, gold and kingdom would be theirs. The King sat on his silver throne, and waited on that day to come.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, first off, thanks for reading! I would be playing the role of King Aldarn, and possibly the evil corrupting Dark Elf witch. (Unless someone gives me a good story as her and would like to play that Role).
I am looking for Females to create characters with varying motivations in order to try to Save the Kingdom of Riwer. Now this can be done over IM's, PM's or in a thread. However, I won't play 1x1 in thread, it would have to consist of multiple people being interested and wanting to do it. Because one of the main goals is to find a new wife for the king, the soldiers are only allowing females to enter. However, there is much more at work here than just the king being depressed (that I can elaborate on a bit if people are interested.) , and another goal can be to find out who the Dark Elven witch is, and why she is corrupting the king. That being said, I also intend to have a few contests for the final few maidens that reach the King's short list, that the Witch will surely try to sabotage. The King is also able to pick more than one "winner" so alliances can form between contestants in order to get ahead and eventually become his wives.
If you would like more information on the different races (pictures, descriptions, etc.) feel free to PM me and I can send that to you. If you are interested in playing in a thread you can respond here. If you would rather play privately, send me a pm and we can talk.
