Aedoran Tales: The Age of Kings [OOC And Discussion] {M}

[Atrum Daemon]

[Rated M for violence, language, alcohol and drug use/abuse, sexual themes and content, and other misc nasty things]

The first age of Aedoran was the Age of Industry. The first age saw mankind rise above its primitive state with the arrival of a goddess of time and progress. This goddess, the Maiden of Gears, gave many gifts to mankind through her prophet Orion. A civilization built upon clockwork machinery rose and through cultivation of magic, all the world was at man's fingertips. The master of this civilization was the Geared King, a favorite of the Maiden who was given the secrets of eternal life through clockwork construction.

A great marvel was constructed by the Geared King, envied by even Elvenkind and the Dwarf-folk. A grand tower was built, a monument to all the Maiden had gifted man with. The Tower of Aeons: a magical thing powerful enough to grant wishes and alter reality. The shining light of a time of peace shone upon the world. And that light drew forth the darkest shadows.

The Calamity came in a storm of darkness and fear. The technological advances of mankind allowed them to put up a stalwart defense, but the war still ravaged the land. The Calamity wanted the tower at the heart of the Clockwork Kingdom. The dark clouds loomed over all the Geared King held dear. But the tower, the object of the Calamity's desire, would not be the saving grace. The Maiden of Gears bestowed two final gifts to the King and his subjects: the Golgoth and the Infinite Chime. The Golgoth was a metal basin etched with curious markings and the Infinite Chime was a resonating bell of dark obsidian. The Infinite Chime was suspended over the Golgoth and rung once. The clockwork civilization shattered, the world shook to its core, and all quieted. The Calamity was gone, but much fallout remained. Dark entities, monsters, and demons remained. The Calamity ended and so too ended the Age of Industry, with only the Geared King remaining to guard his tower for all time.

The second age was the Age of Gods. The coming of the Unbowed Sun marked a new dawn after the Golgoth Blast. New Gods for a new world and mankind found renewed faith. Seeing the devastation brought by the Maiden's work, her worship was made blasphemous even as a new foundation was built on the ruins of the clockwork kingdom of the past. The Unbowed Sun brought with him the Eternal Moon, goddess and wife. More gods appeared and a new pantheon was born. Prosperity born from grand magic and miracles alongside clockwork from the past washed over mankind and their kingdoms rebuilt. Religion once again brought happiness and routine to the people.

But in the shadows of this new age, the Maiden of Gears still had followers. A cult devoted to her known as “The Industrialsts” began engaging in outlawed work with clockwork and recompiling the Maiden's teachings, sure in their belief that such knowledge should not be lost.

However, it was not the presence of The Industrialists that brought the enduring age crashing down. Sure, they had their conflicts with the Solar Order, but it never got overly violent. No, the true tragedy came when the gods turned violent toward one another. For all of the good qualities, the Unbowed Sun had just as many negative. A burning need to be on top drove him to inevitable war with the gods of the other races. The Heavenly Struggle brought the Age of Gods to an end with a fiery, thirty-year war that consumed both the heavens and the world below.

New light came in the wake of the godly war. Might gods fell, but their wills remained. And those wills chose exceptional men and women to endow with great power, elevating them to demigods. In the wake of the war, the Unbowed Sun and his kin took a step back from direct maneuvering, to recover and try to make true peace with the other pantheons. The mortals who were elevated gained immense power, enough to reshape the world. They became Kings. And the first Kings raised their domains, which would become the basis for the modern kingdoms. The mantle would pass freely as a King fell, the will seeking according to its own parameters. Sometimes years would pass, but inevitably a new King would rise. The Age of Kings brought the world together again, unifying mankind.

Spoiler: The Kings 

The Eternal King – Since the Age of Kings began the Eternal King has been Gilgamesh, the Golden One. An indomitable, unshakeable will that refuses to be conquered and refuses to die. The Eternal King presides over the northern land of Aurum, a small yet diligent kingdom. The Eternal King remains the only King to never take any Knights under his banner.

The Dragon King – The burning will of the Dragon King has inspired the kingdom of Courvaye for generations. A masterfully destructive pyromancer, the Dragon King is often regarded as one of the mightiest Kings. The current Dragon King is Henryk Ironblood, a soft-spoken leader with a dreadfully explosive temper.

The Storm King [Taken!] – The Living Tempest rules the eastern kingdom of Korvast from the temple-city of Jord at the heart of the great jungle. The last Storm King was both warrior and philosopher, a great mind snuffed out before his time facing demonic hordes. The will that bends the air and weather, bestowing powerful atmokinesis upon the King, seeks a new soul to bear the mantle.

The King of Dreams – Before the war with Belthax, Willem, the King of Dreams, fell into a deep and seemingly endless slumber. His domain, the kingdom of Belgaria, stands as the largest mainland kingdom and was hit the hardest by the demonic forces. The Dreamer's power is mysterious, as not even Gilgamesh has ever seen the King of Dreams use his abilities in combat. He still sleeps even after the war is done.

The Dark King – A master of necromancy and dark magic who rules the island nation of Dalera. Always at odds with the other Kings, he has led several attempted invasions of the mainland only to be beaten back each time. Such animosity led the Dark King to abstain from fighting in the war with Belthax. Even so, the Dark King Torvold was invited to sit at the meeting.

The Crossed King [Taken!] – The Crossed King is a natural warrior, boasting powerful auramancy in order to bless himself and those fighting at his side. The kingdom of Jorgaard, to the east across the Sea of Serpents, is the domain of the Crossed King. The will that demands strength and order seeks a new soul.

The Glittering King [Taken!] – A master arcanist who led a scholarly order that was crushed under demonic might during the war and the King was overwhelmed. A will that demands insight and serenity seeks a new soul.

The Hidden King [Taken!] – A master of the shadows whose dealings, even in death, are shrouded in secrecy. This secretive will seeks a resolute soul.

Spoiler: Religions of Aedoran 

The most common religions of the current age are the individual cult followings of the Kings, each worshiped by those who live in the kingdoms they rule. But beyond these followings, organized faith still remains strong.

The Solar Order
The religion that worships the Unbowed Sun still stands strong in the Age of Kings. Their temples and shrines remain and their warriors are stalwart and always watchful for encroaching darkness and those branded as heretics. Regions under heavy Solar influence are quite rigid in their thinking, keeping the laws of the Unbowed Sun as truth and following the philosophy of the Eternal Moon as a guide to a happy life.

The Order's paladins are unwavering in their enforcement of Solar Law and have been known to go to extreme lengths to hunt down those they deem dangerous. They are particularly watchful of outsiders within their borders and are generally hostile towards mages who practice magic that does not fall in line with Solar Law, which is everything beyond elemental and restorative magic. The leader of the Solar Order is the Celestial, seen as the living manifestation of the Unbowed Sun's will on earth. The current Celestial has not been seen in public for almost twenty years.

Elven Spirituality
The faith of the Elves centered around ancestor worship while looking to the cosmos beyond the world for guidance. Their gods and goddesses are of the stars and cosmos, the principle god being Dwai'neth the Great Father. The mystical nature of the religion leads many to assume that this leads the Elves to lead lives of non-violence, which is simply untrue. “Any who would threaten the hearth and home of any elvenkind cannot be suffered to live” is a core principle of the faith. The Cosmic Choir, the leading body of the Starlit Temple, dictates the spiritual guidance of the elven race through a direct link to their gods.

The Industrialists
Both a religious order and secretive society the Industrialists are those who follow the teachings of the Maiden of Gears, a doctrine forbidden in the modern age. Belief that progress must be a gradual and guided process has led to the Industrialists being labeled renegades and criminals for their actions of sabotage in almost every major kingdom on the continent. The high-ranking priests of the order often trade parts of, if not the whole of, their flesh and blood bodies for those of clockwork gears. The highest order of the priesthood are the Harmonizers, powerful magicians who guide the Industrialists as best they can in absence of the Maiden, with a Grand Harmonizer at the head who takes the name Orion in honor of the founder of the original religion.

Draconic Orders
At one time, the worship of dragons was present all over Aedoran. The great beings were seen as living gods and their priests were possessed of immense power. The rule of the dragons was near absolute until the Age of Gods when the Unbowed Sun appeared and waged terrible war with the dragons and their followers. Anymore, the Draconic Orders are as small and secretive as the Industrialists. Only a few true believers remain in a unified religious front and search for one who bears the Dragonsign, believing that the bearer is a kind of messiah.

The Azure Banner
A brotherhood of warriors in service of Sigura, Goddess of Justice. They are easily identified by the azure capes they wear and the banner they carry into battle. Whether together or apart, the brothers of the banner seek to do good deeds and keep the peace in the name of their Goddess. At least one of their members seems to show up involved with or near events of potential importance as though guided by divine providence.

Spoiler: Technological Level of Aedoran 

Thanks to the recovered knowledge of the Age of Industry, the advanced clockwork of that ancient civilization has been married with arcane power to produce the technological level of modern Aedoran. In this age, the people can travel from the heart of Belgaria all the way to Courvaye and even to distant Korvast by way of the Great Road: a grand piece built by clockwork construction machines. Houses are lit arcane light mastered by machine and travel is made faster by mechanical horses that never tire.

The methods of war have also changed. Black powder weapons remain the most common and the new rise of repeating rifles have made many older models obsolete. Alongside the black powder weapons exist arcana weapons. These weapons use the solid form of arcane energy, colloquially called mana, for ammunition as opposed to powder. These weapons are many times more deadly than their “mundane” counterparts as they have a potentially limitless supply of energy. However there are few engineers and weaponsmiths skilled enough to produce arcana weapons on any large scale; this is due to the arcane intake that converts ambient arcane power into mana to use for ammunition being notoriously difficult to make properly. So, black powder weapons remain the more abundant of the two.

Our Story
So now we come to the heart of the matter. It is the year 1788 of the Age of Kings. The world waits for the return of two fallen Kings while the land heals from the last war brought on by the demon lord Belthax. The Tower of Aeons remains as silent as ever, one of the only unchanging things of the world. In the midst of all the unrest the Eternal King Gilgamesh has called a meeting of all the living Kings, something that has not been seen in centuries. The chosen meeting ground became the Solar Temple, a place of worship and neutrality where the Kings could set aside their personal squabbles and try to mend the wounds left by the demon army.

Aside from the lands of the Six Kings, the world hosts numerous other kingdoms and republics that will inevitably send emissaries to make witness of the King's meeting. But this grand meeting is not where our story begins. No, our story begins in the port city of Harlan. Here the destinies of several people will change forever and will draw in others of particular character. Here events will set in motion that could doom all the world. An unlikely ground for the footsteps of heroes, but the unlikeliest of places can have the greatest impact on the world. For darkness stirs once more at the corners of a land becoming accustomed to peace. Some say the dead walk in the countryside of Belgaria. News from the far north whispers that the fortress of Blackfrost, built to be a garrison against the foul demons north of the Frost Spine mountains, has gone silent. But in a time of peace and rebuilding, who has time for doomsaying and raving?

Regardless, it all begins in Harlan. It is time for the fallen Kings to return. For the sleeper to awaken. And for the dragon to find his fire.

Spoiler: Rules 

All standard forum and Mature Section rules apply
In my station as GM I have final say on all issues that arise

I am looking for a decent level of writing ability. The capability to write a couple meaty paragraphs per post without being dull is what I am ultimately looking for. If you understand all of these rules put In The Name of The King at either the top or bottom of your sheet.

The King slots will NOT be a first come, first serve basis. I will judge each applicant sheet on their own merit and choose the one I feel is the best fit.

So this game has been crafted with the spirit of high-power level in mind. What does this mean exactly? Think “Exalted” for a tabletop RPG example. It means just what it sounds like in that characters will be capable of far more than the average person right off, including the non-King characters. Being able to essentially walk through an ambush by your average band of highwaymen alone is expected. I have done this to both allow the characters who are not Kings to keep up and (hopefully) add a level of enjoyment to the action. So if you want to go with the kind of character who has a collection of mildly-ridiculous martial skills that he announces the name of right before using, go right ahead. I simply ask that you be reasonable and keep in mind that characters will have room for growth.

This game is meant to be fun despite whatever dark corners we step into. So, have fun with it. Just don't metagame or powerplay as both of those will be punished rather swiftly and suddenly.

I would like for everyone to post at least once a week. I do understand that sometimes things come up, just be sure to let me know either in the thread or over PM.

Spoiler: Other Notes 

Clothing styles do not need to be typical fantasy medieval as most common clothing style is more similar to Victorian-era and modern trends with the upper aristocracy favoring more Renaissance-era styles.

Kings can name Knights among those who swear service to them. Knights obtain the ability to tap into the power their King wields and use it themselves. They are powerful individuals indeed.

Spoiler: Notes for King Applicants! 

If you wish to apply for a King slot, indicate which Kingship would want in the provided field and then tailor the powers/abilities section to fit the character and Kingship. From there it's just a matter of making a good-looking sheet! Good luck to everyone! Also, Kingship can only be granted to living beings. The King Will can't resonate with the undead. Another important thing is King's are incredibly durable beings. Conventional weapons or your average mage will have little to no permanent effect. You may get cut or stabbed, but unless the blow comes from a being of equal power the damage will not be lasting.

So is this kinda like a fusion of steam punk and fantasy? Also a couple question for potential kings. Is the term limited to only male characters or is it possible to have Queen? How does one become a king? Is it something they strive for or are they chosen?

[Atrum Daemon]

Less on the steampunk side since there's very little actual steam power and more like clockwork-fantasy.

"King" is just a catch-all term that caught on, but there's nothing stopping a King Will from choosing a female. Which I guess answers your last question! King Wills choose the souls they will touch. Sometimes it is someone who strives for greatness and sometimes it is a mundane person who has not striven for such lofty heights. It has a lot to do with the will finding a compatible soul.

[AngelDellaNotte]

Okay, thanks. Reserve me a spot. I'm thinking of making a character that is an Industrialist but am about to leave for work so I probably won't post until tomorrow. I have the luck that every time there is a rpg I want to join I notice it just before work.

[Atrum Daemon]

Consider the spot saved.

[Cfavano]

I call a paladin of the Solar Order. A Grey Guard, to be specific (think, Paladin Gestapo. While they still cannot willingly commit outright evil, and must aid someone in need, they can lie, intimidate, torture, and basically do whatever is necessary in their hunt for heretics and such.)

[dakkagor]

I am thinking either one of the Kings or a sentient clockwork golem, a decomissioned soldier bot who's been around a bit. Which would you prefer?

[Dire Hoef]

I think a King is right for me. Please reserve me a spot.

I noticed there was no equipment section, so I can put it in the abilities section?

Powers/Abilities:

Spoiler: Abilities 

Lay on hands - a mainstay of paladins, he can heal injured by touching someone and saying a quiet prayer. While this is not as good as an actual healing spell, it still works.

Debilitating touch - working like Lay on hands, but instead of positively affecting somone, it temporarily sickens them (basically, how you feel right before you throw up, but instead of that instant, it lasts for a while). This can make interrogations easier, or interrupt spellcasting.

Devastating touch - as Lay on hands, but opposite. Instead of healing, it injures, and very painfully so. Typically this is used for torture, as wounds gained in this manner are typically the most painful, while doing the least amount of actual damage.

Justice Blade - By channeling the power of his deity, he can increase the power of his attacks, allowing him to smite his foes with divine energy. He can do this 7 times a day.

Remove Disease - Channeling his energy, he can cure someone of any disease, including magical and supernatural ones. he can do this 5 times per week.

Divine health - he is immune to all diseases, even magical or supernatural ones.

Detect undead - he can tell whether or not there is undead in the area by focusing.

Aura of courage - He is immune to all fear, including magically-created fear effects, and all allies within 10 feet of him gain a resistance to fear.

Aura of Rejuvenation - Any ally within 5 feet of him gains active regeneration.

Sacrament of the true faith - He has gained the full confidence of his faith and order, granting him the freedom to act as he chooses in the fight for Justice and Good. He does not risk banishment or penalties in the pursuit of a just cause, and he answers only to the authority of the Celestial and the Order of the Grey Guards.

Interrogator - Through years of training and practice, he can apply his skills to get information from even the most stubborn of suspects.

Trained detective - As part of his training, he was educated on how to track criminals and investigate crimes. To that end, clues that would be invisible or seem useless to other, less trained investigators, are all too clear to him.

Spoiler: Spells 

Break Enchantment - Frees subjects from enchantments, alterations, curses, and petrification.

Bless Water - Creates Holy Water.

Searing Light - Focuses the power of the sun through his finger to create a ray of powerful and burning light. It is twice as effective against undead.

Fire seeds - can turn acorns into thrown grenades, and Holly berries into placed bombs activated by a spoken command word when within 200 feet.

Bind Body - The targets of this spell are scribed with a holy rune, which prevents their body from being raised as undead after their death. Those subject to reanimation from a vampire's bite, do not reanimate until the spell effect ends, which is roughly a month.

Sunburst - a globe of searing radiance explodes silently from a point he selects, everyone caught in the globe is temporarily blinded and is burned. Those who are harmed by sunlight take double damage, and undead take extra damage.

Sunbeam - he evokes a dazzling beam of sunlight from his fingers, harming and temporarily blinding a specific target. Creatures to whom sunlight is harmful or unnatural take double damage, and undead take extra damage.

Heat metal - a metal object within 75 feet is magically eated to the point where holding it is harmful and damaging. Magic metal items have a resistance to it.

Daylight - He touches an object, and enchants it with a spell of light. The object touched sheds light as bright as full daylight in a 60-foot radius, and dim light for an additional 60 feet beyond that. Creatures that take penalties in bright light also take them while within the radius of this magical light. Despite its name, this spell is not the equivalent of daylight for the purposes of creatures that are damaged or destroyed by bright light.

Blazing fist - This spell wraps his fist in a raging fire. He cannot hold any weapon in this hand, nor touch anything without dealing fire damage to it. Anything flammable he touches with it catches on fire.

Abolishing flames - He hurls a mass of divine fire at his enemy that expands into an explosive burst. The scope, range and point of detonation is controlled by him within the spell's established limits (max range is 100 feet, max area of burst is 20 feet). When the spell deals damage to undead or evil creatures (such as demons or devils), half of the damage dealt stems from a divine source and is not reduced by any sort of resistance or immunity to fire. These creatures will also continue to burn for one minute, and these flames cannot be put out except by casting 'dispel magic'. Every six seconds they burn, they are also magically drained of their power.

Flame Blade - A 3-foot-long, blazing beam of red-hot fire springs forth from his hand. He wields this bladelike beam as if it were a scimitar.

Spoiler: Equipment 

Holy avenger - the weapon of a paladin, magical and holy cold Iron longsword allows his Justice blade to be more powerful, while also granting a modicum of spell resistance, as well as being able to create a small area burst that dispels magic, though it cannot counterspell or specifically target one thing.

Mithral Full-Plate of Speed - a suit of magical armor that weighs half as much as steel, for 1 minute per day (all seconds do not have to be used at once), with a spoken command word, his speed is tripled, including striking and dodging speed.

Efficient Quiver - This appears to be a typical arrow container capable of holding about twenty arrows. It has three distinct portions, each with a nondimensional space allowing it to store far more than would normally be possible. The first and smallest one can contain up to sixty objects of the same general size and shape as an arrow. The second slightly longer compartment holds up to eighteen objects of the same general size and shape as a javelin. The third and longest portion of the case contains as many as six objects of the same general size and shape as a bow (spears, staffs, or the like). Once the owner has filled it, the quiver can produce any item he wishes, as if from a regular quiver or scabbard. The efficient quiver weighs the same no matter what’s placed inside it.

Longbow - a standard longbow made of Yew wood. Solid construction, but nothing special. Comes with 60 arrows.

Javelins of lightning - magical javelins that, when thrown, turn into powerful bolts of lightning. He has 10

Ring of sustenance - the wearer does not need to eat or drink, and only needs two hours of sleep per night.

Ring of water walking - subject can walk on water, and floats an inch above it.

Ring of Feather Falling - regardless of how far he falls, he never gets injured from falling.

Instant fortress - This metal cube is small, but when activated by speaking a command word it grows to form a tower 20 feet square and 30 feet high, with arrow slits on all sides and a crenellated battlement atop it. The metal walls extend 10 feet into the ground, rooting it to the spot and preventing it from being tipped over. The fortress has a small door that opens only at the command of the owner of the fortress.

Interrogator's bag - Inside this portable extradimensional space is a collection of mundane and magical tools used by operatives to interrogate suspects and heretics.

Appearance:

Whenever he is not in his armor, he wears trendy clothes for the local area, to better fit in/hide.

Personality: Elgold is like man Paladins when it comes to personality. He typically acts with honor, is respectful of authority, though he does have a rebellious streak in him, which is why he's not a standard Paladin. He can be a loose cannon, but however violent he gets, his heart is always in the right place. He has a strong sense of justice, and is compassionate and helpful to those who are innocent.

Bio: Elgold was born on the road, his parents being in a caravan that was attacked by bandits. He was found by a travelling knight, being clutched in his mother's dead arms. He would have died had he not been found. His father, Sir Earnheardt, was a very kind and supportive man, who proved to be a great father. He helped Elgold grow and was very supportive of his dreams, and instilled in him a strong sense of honor and justice.

Sir Earnheardt told Elgold the story of his birth on his 18th birthday. He was upset, not at Sir Earnheardt, but at the bandits that killed his birth family. But that was not the end of his troubles. While making a yearly trip to his Lord's Estate, Sir Earnheardt found himself on the same road that, 18 years ago, Elgold was found. He was killed by bandits on that same road, and it was believed that the same bandits were involved. Elgold didn't take it well.

He also had an older sister, named Melleran, who managed the small amount of land owned by Sir Earnheardt, and through a series of mismanaged deals, lost it all. A younger sister, Anna, was only twelve when Sir Earnheardt died. Having no lands or inheritance, Melleran put her up in a nunnery. His younger brother, Sean, was with Sir Earnheardt. His body was never found, so it is believed that the bandits took him. He was six. His final sister, Ellie, was two. He lost contact with her when he left home.

Elgold, now poor, as part of his father's wishes, was sent to join an order of knights, as his squireship was finished. He received Paladin training and aced the entrance exam, his natural charisma and strong sense of justice and compassion earning him high marks among the higher ups. However, he was known to get... emotional, especially when children were involved. While this was not really considered a bad thing, he did often almost get violent during interrogations, and had to be pulled off of suspects.

His captain sent his file to a masked courier and it was sent to a fortress deep in the wilderness. A week later, a reply was given. A positive reply. Elgold was sent away, and indoctrinated into the secretive order of the Grey Guards, forever fighting evil and injustice all over the world.



RP Sample:

The chapel of the Order of the Grey Guardsmen was a scene of jubilation. An Knight-Brother has earned his final Sacrament. Though, by jubilant, it actually meant that the chanting was a bit louder than normal. For his part, Elgold was very composed, looking resplendent in his new suit of Full-Plate, buffed to a near mirror-like sheen. The time for the recitation of purpose came, the High Chaplain leading them, and the congregation responding:

"Without the Dark, there can be no Light,"
"We have purpose"
"Without the Lie, there can be no Truth,"
"We have purpose"
"Without the War, there can be no Victory,"
"We have purpose"
"Without Death, there can be no sacrifice,"
"We have purpose"
"Without Hope there can be no Future,"
"We have purpose"
"Without God, there is nothing,..."
"And we would have no purpose"

"Brother Elgold, rise." The High Priest commands him, and he does so. "What is your vow?"

Elgold stands at attention and replies:

"Where there is uncertainty, I shall bring light
Where there is doubt, I shall sow faith
Where there is shame, I shall point atonement
Where there is rage, I shall show its course
My word in the soul shall be as my weapon in the field."

"Brother Elgold, What is your life?"
"My honour is my life."
"What is your fate?"
"My duty is my fate."
"What is your fear?"
"My fear is to fail."
"What is your reward?"
"My salvation is my reward."
"What is your craft?"
"My craft is death."
"What is your pledge?"
"My pledge is eternal service"

"Go now, and bring Light to the Dark places"
