Cosmo
Does Not Know Kung-fu
The Forsaken Realm, a dire name for the lush strip of land that sits nestled between the Toran mountain range and sits just above the Carrion Sea. For centuries, people of all nations and races have flocked to this land, seeking adventure, providence, or merely acting as the agents of powerful neighboring kingdoms, in the hopes of taming it, but all have failed. Most whisper that the land is cursed, that it is too close to the Maelstorm and to attempt to claim the lush valley is to court doom, but the whispers of doomsayers have done little to stop the attempts that have had, very limited, success. Small villages and keeps dot the realm, but nothing larger has ever been established, being destroyed by natural disaster, monster or marauders before they could truly say they hold sway over it.
You, for whatever reason, have been given command over a small village within the Forsaken Realm and must forge your destiny. Are you a knight seeking to establish a chapterhouse for your order? A spurned Elven Prince seeking solace in their exile? A witch seeking asylum to continue her dark rituals? Perhaps a pirate lord of the carrion sea that has found themselves shipwrecked off the coast? Whomever you are, wherever you come from, whatever your goals, the Forsaken Realm awaits.

Hello hello! I am Cosmo and will be the DM for this. As you may have gathered, if you join, you will be taking control of a small village and trying to rise to prominence. Increase the economy, attract immigrants, train your army, build the land of your future, survive everything the Forsaken Realm has to throw at you and claim the valley as your own... for whatever reason you have.
My goal for this is I really want players to feel like their characters are real lords/ladies of their lands, that these are their lands they are developing and lead through crisis. When they are on adventures or quest, I want them to really feel like they are exploring and having a real, tangible, impact on the lands and world. When they ride into large battles, I really want to create that feeling of wonder as you watch these forces you've built up now displayed in front and all the highs and lows that comes with.
But most of all, I want it to be a really fun experience.
*Discord will be used for communication between players and the GM. I will also sometimes do events or adventures on discord, but the actual post shall be here on RPN.
