mythopoeics redux: arthurian au
A wild post appears! Because organization is key when it comes to gaming, and we need a place to spam properly set this up, and so here it is: Mytho Redux.
THE PLOT THUS FAR
→ This area of Great Britain is broken up into a couple regions, but Camelot is the "capital".
→ An invading army/enemy decided to lay siege upon Camelot! And failed, miserably-- but there were losses on both sides nonetheless.
→ The previous king (currently nameless) perished in the siege, but a new king is put on the throne, a king that is much less liked than the previous.
→ Camelot is not quite in ruins, but the surroundings areas and parts of the castle were heavily damaged. Certain regions also were brought into the fray, and few escaped unscathed.
→ But these regions didn't exactly bond together to defeat the invaders because of any love, or not a lot of it. There is conflict everywhere, and now that the enemy is gone, these conflicts are beginning to surface once again.
→ Some plot, not all, is based on Arthurian legend. Set in England, but could have other locations (i.e. a land called Zurvan, perhaps for our Eastern characters, across the sea).
→ Whose side are you on, in the end?
FACTIONS
→ The king and his court. (Unsure if queen is present.) Consists of ladies and lords, duchesses and dukes, jesters, servants, blacksmiths. etc.
→ Knights of the isosceles triangle Round Table. Knights that have given their lives to serve under the king and protect the realm. Abide by the code of chivalry, often unmarried. Numbers have dwindled over the years-- many knights perished in the siege.
→ Orkneys. Settled on the Orkney Islands. Headed by Morgause now that her husband Lot is dead. Royal family through Morgause, daughter of one of one of the previous kings. They are often affiliated with themselves, but almost all of her children are KotR.
→ Corbenic. Best known for its main castle, but there is also a town. Led by the Fisher King, King Pelles. More or less neutrals and focused on themselves, and was the one area that was not damaged by the siege. (Grail, anybody?)
→ Avalon. A religious, holy and sacred place. Main religion is not Christianity; they believe in goddesses, but mostly the mother goddess. Priestesses and priests come from here.
LOCATIONS
→ Camelot (capital and town; huge)
→ Camlann (town and fort; huge)
→ Orkney Islands (smaller)
→ Corbenic (castle and town; smaller)
→ Avalon (island; unknown size)
* will make a map if needed!
If you guys could copy over from the gdoc which characters you would like to bring, we can poke at each others' threads and offer lines. I know this isn't going to be like a main game for you kids-- this is more GPSL, but it requires some thought and structure. Please don't feel obligated to ignore any other games/your life for this-- it's mostly for fun and getting to write with each other again. ♥ Please know you can bring in any previously played character.
NOTHING IN THIS POST IS ALL CONCRETE. If there are changes to put in, let me know and I'll edit, or if there's anything to add! Also: WHO IS KING?
