In Character- Adventure Upon The Summer Shore IC
The Summer Shores or Sulveter in the ancient tongue is a peaceful land, troubled not by the threat of wars or invasion, or the looming fear of magical horrors from another world. For you see, thousands of years ago Sulveter was ruled by a coven of Aelfs known as "The Summer Kings", who's names have been lost to time. The Summer Kings witnessed many things throughout their lives, the arrival of the first humans and the first true understanding of magic by the people at large, under their rule the land was prosperous even to the point where a human was able to secure a place on the coven of kings. However no tale is complete without tragedy, while the details have once again been lost to time it is known that one king turned on the other. Now the summer kings where wizards, and wizards of great skill, it would seem that the coven unity would be their downfall as kings began to choose sides and in a cascade of magic, left no trace of the kings, save for their crowns.
Now one would think that the destruction of the monarchs would leave the island in chaos, but no. For you see the inhabitants often come to believe that there is an ebb and flow to life and so they adapted, while there was a short confusion and concern for the safety and future of Sulveter, it was decided that it would be given two leaders instead, a king and a queen. Life has continued on Sulveter like this for many years, seeing its fair share of Human and Aelf leaders, all the way to the island current rulers King Fayvin and Queen Alirya two Aelfs from one of the noble houses of Altum, the islands capital city.
And then there's you, now your..no one special perhaps your a fisherman or a farm hand. You may even be a apprentice mage or even a knight, ready to defend the realm, either way you hold little sway in the world.
Now there's one thing that the inhabitants of the Summer Shores love and that is stories, legends of brave heroes exploring the lands and finding glory and treasure are a favorite among taverns and inns. So go, go and carve you name into legend, go and become heroes!
And maybe one day, when the adventure is over you can go back home and rest, and pass on the story........or maybe the life of adventure is too much to pass up?
This RP, being more peaceful and noblebright will focus more on character interaction and development, think of it as a sort of slice of life but fantasy. Now when it comes to exploration, its gonna be like D&D, you'll enter a room and you can state what your character is going to try and do, such as look in the small room off to the side or search those old boxes, and then i will roll a dice and depending on that roll, pick an outcome to see if anything happens. This will also be similar for events and NPC dialogue.

Yampan River- the largest river that runs through the island, while its frequented by fishermen on a daily basis due to its high population of a variety of water based fauna, sometimes it is plagued by river pirates, however the problem is normally solved with either the aid of the town guard or some privateers.
Altum Visu City- Altum is the main governing city on the island of summer shore. It sits atop the plains in the center of the island. The castles and homes of the city are all varied, coming from different ages and times. You may start at the main castle Salinval, a relic from the time of the first summer kings and walk down a short while and come to a market that is bustling with merchants, blacksmiths and alchemists. If there is something you need and the Altum market doesn't have it, there is most likely a sailor or explorer you can pay to find it.
Kinallen Town- One of the bigger towns that is a fairly lengthy walk away from the city of Altum. The town is best know for its hunters. Meat and leather are the towns main exports, with people coming from various towns to come and sample the high quality resources. The town is populated by a variety of species. Humans, Aelfs and even Kobolds.
Silmit- Silmit is a coastal town, primarily inhabited by Aelfs and the odd spattering of humans and Verminus. The town is a very peaceful place, generally known as a sleepy town where nothing is in a rush. Given that its a coastal town there's often a few interesting people there, sailors from far off land or traveling merchants looking for a rest
Mossley- Mossley was one of the original human settlements on the island and has remained as such. While there are other races in the town of Mossley, they are a large minority to the larger human population. The humans of Mossley are very proud of their towns origins, making sure to educate all withing the town about the towns history. The towns main export would be anything related to metal work, be they weapons or tools, many people will come to the human blacksmiths to get them.
Karinex- Karinex is a "town" primarily inhabited by Kobolds and Verminus. While its not a slum its not the most glamours place, the houses are normally inhabited by Kobolds while Verminus often make their warrens either in a random piece of land or in a Kobolds house.
Ruins- The island is dotted with many ancient ruins, relics from the bygone age of the Summer Kings. These ruins generally pose little threat apart from the "Awoken" these creatures are essentially undead, usually in the form of skeletons that re-animate in order to either take care of the ruins or to talk to travelers, either way they are generally considered to be passive creatures and cannot leave their ruins
