THE REBELLION HAS BEGUN
-
A rebellion is on the horizon, tensions between the royal family and members of the community rising to dangerous heights. Sooner or later, something is going to give.
Whether you're a noble knight for the republic, a sly assassin for the Order of the Black Lotus, or a simple farmer living on the outskirts of the capital of Torinth, this war will affect you. One way or another.
In this RP, you can play on either side of the rebellion, as a rebel or a royal. Or you can start off as a neutral who will eventually have to make a decision for your own future.
The republic of Torinth, one of the most prosperous city-states in the world. They possess one of the world's greatest military and naval forces, winning a slew of wars during its long existence. It lands span miles across the continent of Agoria, its neighboring countries posing no threat to them.
Torinth attracted many visitors from foreign lands, whether they came to study at the fabled libraries said to hold scrolls and texts of ancient teachings, to learn from the scholar mages who serve as the nations peacekeepers, or to try their luck out in the docks or bustling marketplace, known to the locals as 'The Square'. Commerce in Torinth was second-to-none, the ports always busy with incoming and outgoing ships.
The current royal family, the Rothstones, had been ruling for over a century, bringing the Republic of Torinth into the age of prosperity it was currently in. They hadn't seen war in over a decade, thanks to the prowess of King Allaister Rothstone's military. No one dared challenge the greatest king in the land. On the surface, the kingdom looked perfect. The Torinthians appeared happy, content and proud of those that ruled over them.
But there was corruption. Council members took bribes from wealthy civilians looking to influence the community, generals were spotted in brothels, and soldiers in the street harassed civilians on occasion. The royal family had their fair share of secrets as well. But they did their best to keep everything under wraps to keep up their perfect personas.
That is, until the Order of the Black Lotus began to rise within the shadows of Torinth with the intention of overthrowing the royal family from their seats of power. Thus, the rebellion was born.
The Order, named after the original dark mages who worshipped the black lotus flower, which was said to possess magical capabilities. The group is composed of the nations most dangerous mercenaries, thieves, assassins, regular disgruntled civilians who feel that the royal family has outstayed their welcome in the palace. Even a couple of dark mages have joined their ranks.
They operate out of the southern district of the kingdom in a city called Siegmore, a place the royals rarely travel to. It's one of the poorer areas of the kingdom, the perfect place for the birth of a rebellion.
The rebellion is in the early stages. They've been biding their time, growing their numbers and performing certain acts of defiance, waiting for the right time to launch their full assault on the royals. Spies have been sent into the palace, disguised as servants, cooks, and knights. Soon, it will be time for a full-on attack.
And war will commence. Blood will be split, ties will be cut, families separated. And destruction will occur on either side.
So....yeah, this is my first RP (hopefully). Who's interested? I'll make the CS post when I get at least 4-6 people interested (though, I would like a bit more than that in the long run).
