"And so a new being was born into this world, one of the gods, one of magic. And the kin of man, were confused. Just as much as the new beings were."
The lands of Nodros has always been plagued with struggles for power and a superior place in this world, but this struggle is one of magic, that which has been bestowed by the gods. It started a long time ago, when the gods blessed normal mortals with powers that are of god like proportions. Men and women could now bend flames, call a storm from the sky or the sea, or shift the very ground below us. It was kept among themselves, a secret magic that only a few held. But once someone of power was granted these powers, King Didus of the city of Caurdrin, it became known nationwide. He used it to threaten his citizens, other kings and leaders, even his very bloodline. The king was overthrown in a hasty coup, King Didus was executed, and his unruly and strict cousin, Malin, came to power. He outlawed the use and creation of this magic, locked away or executed those who were open about their magic. Those who weren't so, went into hiding. Soon, Malin wasn't the only leader who was locking away magic. It became taboo, evil, and they believed malevolent gods had bestowed it upon them, not the holy ones they worshipped.
By now, almost all the lands of Nodros have outlawed magic. But it hasn't stopped the kindling of their flame. More and more were being born with magic in their bodies and there was no way of stopping it. They were thrown away, shamed, and lost. Forsaken by their former kind. They became different from humans,
they became the Forsaken.
"They were forsaken by man, thrown out like the monsters they were seen as. They were lost, but they weren't gone."
The basic premise of the roleplay is that your character (YC) is a Forsaken. "Blessed" by the many gods with magic that no man could have. But the Forsaken have been well... forsaken by people. There is no safe haven for them and they are become distressed, and some even angry. The story, or your story, is of you deciding what your place is in this world. Will you hide your powers? Will you use it for good? Or use it to take back what was yours?
More will be delved into such as setting, locations, the exact magic, events, and everything that makes up this roleplay. But this is just the basic premise. Thank you for reading my interest check, please ask questions if I left anything out!
