Silver Wolf
Something Random
I was planning to start this up around a month ago, but due to family emergencies I had to pull back for a month. Now it's going to start up again! I will also ask this. If you can't commit, don't bother posting here. This has lead to so many problems in the past.
Fifty years ago, the Kranian Empire created by humans had spread across the entirety of the continent of Kranar. Few independent nations lived during this time, but the empire's autocratic rule and cruel treatment of many races and enslavement of all races led to it collapsing under it's own weight.
Power vacuums were created all over. Lords claiming their land as independent states, the old military taking the opportunity to take matters into their own hands, loyalists trying desperately to keep their once mighty empire alive, underground factions and guilds that have rose to the surface, and the oppressed and enslaved taking freedom into their own hands. This is what formed in the collapse: Anarchy. A state of near lawlessness created by voiding the power, where small and large powers alike have equal footing and fight for dominance in a state of flux.
One faction has arisen recently though. A faction that is slowly rising in power, but is now growing exponentially. Aequaliberi, this faction seeks to rebuild the empire in a new way. One where all are treated equally, where life was far better than the old oppressive empire. Rising from the dark void of chaos, they seek to ally themselves and repair the damage made.
Here's the lore of the whole thing.

One where all are treated equally, where life was far better than the old oppressive empire. Rising from the dark void of chaos, they seek to ally themselves and repair the damage made.
Here's the lore of the whole thing.
Aequaliberi: This is the faction that your characters are a part of or will be part of. These are the ones who hope for equality. They will also do so by any means they see as necessary. They have been hiring assassins, soldiers, and even allying themselves with anyone that can find themselves to align with their beliefs.
Krania: The collapsed empire taken over by the son of the former emperor who is far worse than his father was. Driving out his family, he and the rest of the empire that is still loyal seeks to restore its former power.
Dracar: The most organized and omnipotent faction of vampires who have taken over towns and made the mortals into their cattle. They do not kill people unnecessarily, but they do enslave them.
Trira: A violent alliance of slaves who were the races that weren't human. They seek revenge against the empire and enslave humans along the way. They preach humans as evil and appeal to the oppressed who wish to give into their rage.
These are NPC factions. Factions you can create freely to forward the plot so long as they aren't too significant.
Lords: Nobility who have gained independence from the power vacuum.
Vampire Hunters: Profuse haters of vampires and hunt them down violently.
Bandits: Outlaws who have gained power of their own through illegal means.
Peaceful Vampires: Vampires who do not see mortals as cattle and seek to blend in with them.
Tribes: When any form of race forms an independent nation/community.
(All races except for vampires age Normally)
Humans: the most adaptable and potentially versatile race. They can go in any direction, but they are easily influenced, making them susceptible to both good and evil change.
Elves: The most perceptive and agile race. Elves aren't very strong, but they are very agile and perceptive. They are more fragile, and they keep their beauty longer than most other races.
Beastinari: People who are owners of mammalian beast traits such as an animal's strength, agility, or senses. They have no distinguishable difference from humans aside from the fact that they grow ears, tails, and sometimes have their animal's fangs or eyes. Because they have high amounts of beast traits, they have more instinct as well.
Vampires: These can be the appearance of any race because they can force others to become vampires, but they have powerful abilities of utilizing the energy from other living things to have power. They can halt their aging process by drinking mortal blood which is a fairly strong urge and sometimes can become an addiction, but it isn't a necessity. They also have very powerful healing abilities that can only be stopped with magical properties. And vampires can never become vampires on accident.
