Amalouras: Fall of an Empire {Open/Reboot}

[LiviathRose]

This roleplay was recruiting awhile back but only had one person interested. I put a lot of effort into this and don't want to give up on it, so months later I am trying again. I will answer any questions you guys might have!





749 AD
To the Citizens of Amalouras,
The Kindom of Amalouras has recently been attacked by unknown entities.
We had a successful repel of the attack but we are now encouraging all able
bodies to pitch in on repairing the walls and stores. This is mandatory. The King
has agreed to make the Kingdom of Amalouras tax free during the repairs.

750 AD
To the Citizens of Amalouras,
The Kingdom of Amalouras has been under frequent attacks by unknown
entities. We are encouraging an evacuation of the Kingdom to either
Wandering Hilltops or the Kingdom of Evorath is taking limited
refugees.

751 AD
To Anyone Alive,
Your King is dead, your Kingdom is ours and you're next...

The Kingdom of Amalouras has fallen to unknown, dark entities who come only that of nightmares. The Kingdom is in complete ruin, perhaps with a few partial building and at night you can see the glow of the embers that still burn. You are a survival of the incident among a group of others, but were unable to evacuate during the times advised. Among this group, you are cold, hungry, tired, ill, and unstable. However, something deep down keeps you going and with that, you all have agreed to rebuild new in Amalouras. Yet, you are always in frequent danger as the nights come and go, in addition, if the creatures of the ruins are not driven off or blocked off, you all will face the same fate. It is time to rebuild and fight for your life.
Throughout the story you will be going on missions, teaming up with others, and going on an grand adventure to survive and take back the Empire of Amalouras. You'll have to work together to balance each others pros and cons to make the most out of what you have meaning you'll rarely be alone on your adventure.

Spoiler: Map and Rolls

**Please ask before using the map for your own personal use. I'll send you a copy of a blank one.

There is no telling what sort of enemy is out there. (During the Day: Roll for "Successful Scavenger", "Injury Consequence" and "Followed Chances". At Night: Roll for "Successful Scavenger" then "Injury Consequence").

Amalouras went through with their promises but tax the poor harshly to make up for their travel time to the kingdom. Now that Amalouras has fallen, the people of Wandering Hilltops live in peace. They are not very welcoming to the survivors of the Kingdom of Amalouras, but are still open to trade for food. (Roll for "Trading Conflicts" or "Successful Theft" and "Karma".)

  • A dangerous area usually inhabited by crooks and bandits of all races. Some serious riches can be found here and possibly supplies inside the cave just on the shore.

There are plenty of natural resources but taking from this land is illegal except for fish, small game, and select herbs. (You can roll for "Successful Theft" of resources then roll again for "Karma". Scavenging from legal supplies is guaranteed success thanks to an unnatural blessing of the land.

• 5. Kingdom of Evorath
  • Kingdom of Evorath is dominantly Elves, but are welcoming to most species. This is also referred to the City of Glass, and is an excellent trading site. Unlike the Wandering Hills, Kingdom of Evorath has just about everything to trade. However, tends to be a little pricey. You can find scrolls of knowledge or recruit other members to your travels. (Trading is always Successful. Cannot access until a boat is crafted.)
• 6. Island of Sorrow
  • The Island of Sorrow is often a dark place to travel. There is little resources on this island other than dead wood and a surplus of clay.

[Heyitsjiwon]

Seems pretty interesting! Am I right to assume that you would take on a DM/GM role in the RP?

Edit: You might want to throw up an interest check in the dice section as well!

 

[LiviathRose]

Correct but I still want to give players freedom to create the world around them as long as the can still accomplish the current goal/mission/etc.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Got it! Just sent a PM to see if we can get this ball rolling!

Edit:

Ahh, also are those rolls just examples? I don't imagine we would only be limited to those actions?

 

[LiviathRose]

Heyitsjiwon When you roll for certain events, you are left with the thought, "Okay, I rolled X and failed to steal from X. How can I add this in my whole post?" Meaning whatever you control your character to do does not matter as long as the end result (in this example) is you failed to steal something. Now, rolling isn't part of the whole RP, it's just a balancing mechanism so no one can be "perfect" or "play god". You can do whatever you want prior to the mission your character is assigned. So, no you are not limited to those actions.

 

[AyeXian]

I am interested.

AyeXian Awesome, go ahead and send me your CS when you finish so I can make sure it balances out. Let me know if you have any questions.
