Fantasy Trek of Saints

[Some Guy]

The known earth is dominated by tribes of differing people. While some have relationships between each other, they mostly stick to themselves for their own safety. In each of these tribes, a person with certain inherited abilities appear, called by fate to be a pillar for their community. These are known as Saints. Protectors, leaders, and guides who lead their people the way they believe. For a while, few battles have been waged between them and relative peace was found in their seclusion. However, a new unforeseen threat has arrived amongst the tribes.

A new army, who calls themselves Obsidian, has appeared out of nowhere in incredible numbers, harvesting more than their fill of supplies and livestock from the land, and threatening an all out war against the smaller tribes. Their armor, magic, and way of fighting has never been seen before, and they worship some churning god of steel. The armies of the tribes alone cannot take on the Obsidian without expecting defeat. But there is a way to stop them without risking the number of lost lives. The tribes are sending each their own saint, so that they may convene as a group, and take the head of the Obsidian head on.

Name:Johnathan Windham
Tribe Name: Obsidian
Ability:Necromancy. Must sacrifice skin, blood or flesh in order to summon more than one corpse
Weapons and Equipment: Small dagger, small bottle of blood.
Background: A young boy with interest in the dark arts, Johnathan would fool around within the graveyard of his old tribe known as "Kella". An orphan at the age of 4 (Mother died and father left) Johnathan had to steal or beg his way for food or water. The townspeople never liked him nor vilified him. One day while playing around, he imitated the act of raising the dead, as if a necromancer... only to successfully raise up a corpse from the cemetery. A few days of practice, he began to wonder why he couldn't raise more than one. During his training, he cuts himself by accident and sees the blood sink into the ground, only to find a second corpse rise up. He eventually was given the title of saint of his tribe, however he learned that the tribe was talking behind his back, speaking ill of him. In his anger, he used his power as a force to seek out dominance from the tribe. The tribe then decided to fight back. During his onslaught, he learned that he didn't just need his own blood or flesh to raise the dead but any blood or flesh. Creating an army of his own using others as fuel. One remaining apprentice of a blacksmith then put a curse on Johnathan, stripping him of flesh, blood and skin, forcing him to walk the earth as nothing but bone. Shortly after slaughtering his people, he then pledged allegiance to Obsidian (Because Bethesda isn't as good)

Weapons and Equipment: Steel Poleaxe, Bone-carved Knife, Throwing Tomahawk, fur clothing

Background: The people of a Dragon Ledge are a solitary group of hunters who live in the mountains and believe in Gods who control different parts of nature. One for the sky, one for the earth, one for each of the animals, and few minor ones they worship. They believe that combat determines your true strength. Not that you have to die to prove your point, in fact challenges and duels rarely end in death, but the fact that you are willing to fight for what you believe is a way to determine your worth.
At the age of 20 and growing up to a poor family, challenged the tribe's chief as he hoarded all the supplies for himself while the rest of his people starved. He took him on one-on-one with little experience in combat and no armor to protect him. He realized his power when a fatal blow to his chest broke the chief's blade by the sheer resiliance of his newfound ability. He used the opening to slaughter the chief, and replaced him with a friend he trusted as the new chief. He continued to go out and fight for the tribe with little to no armor with faith in his ability to keep him alive.

[Some Guy]

( alright let's go ahead and get started, i wont be able to reply immediately all the time, so be patient if i dont get to you soon, and please let me know if you have any issues with anything )

A cold breeze flows around an empty and old circle of stones in a humble pile of dirt. In the center of these stones stood two men. One was bent over, grey hair covering his beard and head, and held a cane unsteadily in one hand. He was draped in simple and ragged cloth, worn down from years of use and never being replaced. He is simply known as the Speaker; an arbiter that was chosen to mediate issues and crisis among the tribes, and is held in high respect between every member across the land. Next to him, a younger man stood next to him clothed with similar robes and his own cane, but he did not need it yet. He is set to be the Speaker's successor. They both stood idly while they waited for the Saints to convene at this sacred ground.

This is called the Circle; an area made for communal use where no tribe can be shunned and people from different walks of life discuss various topics and issues to resolve. Many declarations of war were squelched here before they were ever acted upon, and trading routes and marking of territories were established over the centuries. And now, the Saints of each tribe were called here to solve another conflict before it gets out of hand.
