Part I - Introductions/It Begins!
Length: Short (hopefully)
Goal: Introduce characters, maybe gather information to start on some quests which will lead us to Part II
Setting/Relevant info:
In the Kingdom of Lothlin, there are several small farming villages along the border between it and the neighboring kingdoms. Along the cost are several port towns and plenty of fishing villages. In the main bulk of the kingdom lie numerous villages, small towns, and even some larger towns, mostly scattered along the plentiful trade routes going in and out of the kingdom. However, all of them pale in comparison to the huge city nestled against a mountain towards the center of the kingdom. This city is where all of the trade routes meet up and is the capital of the kingdom, where the current royal family sits on the throne, led by King Corrin. The city is called Osthaven.
Lothlin has many natural resources, bordering the coast as well as being home to several forests, lush plains and fertile land, and several mountains that are a part of a larger range that stretches along the continent. As such, it is a rich and plentiful land, and trade is flourishing, though not as much as it seems it should, as monsters have begun to roam the lands much more frequently. Travelers of all kinds are warned of the dangers on the road, and only the incredibly unprepared go out into the world without some form of protection.
[[The NEW plan, now with bold info!]]
Currently, it's moving into harvest season. The weather is beginning to cool down, and to most, the temperature is quite pleasant and mild, perhaps a bit chilly in the higher elevations of the city of Osthaven, where we are starting.
Osthaven is a huge city, with people constantly going in and out of it. There are several taverns, restaurants, and inns, as well as many shops that provide services such as blacksmithing, armor outfitters, merchants of slightly cursed objects, travel supplies, so on and so forth. However! Being that it is the capital of the kingdom, most items are imported here from around the country, and traveling is expensive at the moment. Not to mention that the city is filled with people, so demand is high, meaning that goods and services purchased here are more expensive than in smaller towns. The exception is in raw iron ore, since iron ore is the main export from the city, being that it is nestle against a mountain. Speaking of which...
Osthaven is surrounded by mountains that stretch around it in a sort of arc, covering the southeast, east, and northeast. The large, intimidating fortress of the castle where King Corrin resides is nestled against these mountains in the rich part of the city. Due to being nestled up against the mountain, Osthaven has a slightly larger population of Dwarves and similar mountain-dwelling races, though it's main population is still human, and being a hub of trade they do still encounter other races on a daily bases. To the northwest of Osthaven is a large forest, full of game and several berry-producing plants. There are some farming fields outside of these areas, but not many, as the ground to the easterly areas are more rocky and most food in the way of crops is imported into the city anyway. Instead, there are some nomadic herdsmen that tend to stick near the city that sell meats and dairy products from their herds. A lot of the people that live in or near Osthaven are miners, mining the mountain for iron.
The people of Osthaven tend to ignore most people -- it is a large city, after all, you can't stop to say hi to everyone. In this way, many people from smaller villages consider the 'city folk' to be rude, though if you do get past the awkwardness of starting a conversation with a stranger in the city, you might find them to be pleasant enough. Then again, the city takes all kinds, and you can also be met with rudeness and suspicion.
[[Alright, from here feel free to post. I will occasionally be putting up rumors and the like for your characters to interact with, or if you want to interact with some NPC's and want to get information out of them I can also provide info for them to give out. Basically, let's start with the introductions!]]
[[Important info! Please Have your Character Name and Location at the top of each of your posts so that it is easy to figure out where everyone is at any point in the rp. If we all stick together all the time, I might nix the location unless you're away from the group, but for now let's make it easy for everyone to find each other. You guys may begin!

Currently, it is moving into harvest season. The weather is beginning to cool down, and to most, the temperature is quite pleasant and mild. It is about midday, and there are a few clouds in the sky. We are starting in or near the farming town of Fairbarrow, where the villagers are friendly and seem used to seeing people of all kinds. Though the population is mostly human, there is a higher concentration of other races located here. It is a slightly larger town, being one of the last stops along the trading route before going into a stretch of uninhabited land between Lothlin and one of the neighboring kingdoms. The uninhabited land is a mix of forests and plains. The town of Fairbarrow itself is backed by woods to the West, a small creek running between the town and the woods. The rest of the town is surrounded by farming land. In the town proper, there's a single inn with a tavern that seems to serve as the town's main hub, serving food, drinks, and general entertainment. There is a small town center where the town hall is located and things like festivals are held. In both the tavern and town center, a board is put up with papers tacked to them containing news and job postings. There are a few small shops in town as well, and many of them cater to the needs of the merchants and traders that are heading out onto the trade road.
