WORLD INFO Kingdom A and B have always been at some stage of war with each other. Even when they aren’t killing each other on the battlefield, they are warring in their courts or locked in cold war. Caught in the middle of these two warring giants, both geographically and politically, is Kingdom C. Predating the other two nations, Kingdom C is a small nation often used as the site for treaty signings between Kingdoms A and B. With a massive desert to the west, ancient forests and soaring mountains to the south, the ocean to the east and an easily defended isthmus to the north, Kingdom C has been relatively protected from the wars of its two neighbors and maintained its Independence. However, the arrival of flying airships changed this. Seeking to expand their holdings and put pressure on Kingdom B’s southern boarder, Kingdom A invaded Kingdom C, taking it quickly. Different lines can focus on different points in the invasion of Kingdom C and in any (or all) of the three lands.
A PRINCE’S QUEST Desperate to turn the tide of the war, THE PRINCE decides to seek out a legendary weapon. THE PRINCE journeys to an ancient temple hidden deep in the mountains where the stories say the weapon is hidden. There he finds not the weapon but a young sorcerer who holds the clues to finding the weapon. THE SORCERER is willing to share his knowledge but only if THE PRINCE takes him with him. What THE PRINCE doesn’t know is THE SORCERER is much more than he appears to be, he is a dragon and capable of helping THE PRINCE more than he could imagine.[THE PRINCE can be from any of the three kingdoms. If from A or B he probably is looking to win/prevent war with the other. If he is from C then he wants to either save or liberate his kingdom. I am looking to play THE SORCERER.]
MEETING DESTINY When his homeland was destroyed by Kingdoms A THE HUNTER found a new home in Kingdom C. For years he has lived a simple life in a small village. When he was out hunting/gathering lumber/whatever one day THE HUNTER found himself being watched by a wolf. Before he could raise his weapon the wolf was gone. For weeks this continued, THE HUNTER going out into the woods and being followed around by the wolf until one day THE HUNTER finds the wolf being attacked by a small pack of other wolves and saves it’s life, allowing it to limp away. Later that night THE HUNTER awakes to soldiers from Kingdom A attacking his village. Following instinct, THE HUNTER goes to fight back but finds himself overpowered until THE DRAGON swoops down and saves him. Before THE HUNTER can even cry out the soldiers are dead and THE DRAGON has him in its claws, high above the village. When they land, THE DRAGON shifts into the wolf that THE HUNTER had saved and then into a young man. After having a minor freak-out, THE HUNTER decides to travel to Kingdom C’s capital where he plans on joining the resistance to save his new home from suffering the same fate as his last, a journey THE DRAGON is determined to join him on. Together they possess the potential to not only change the course of the war but also fulfil and ancient prophecy.[I'm looking to play THE DRAGON.]
STOPPING THE END The truth behind the invasion of Kingdom C is not as cut and dry as many believe it to be. While though the acquisition of Kingdom C has increased Kingdom A’s military might that is not why they took the lands. The truth is Kingdom C holds the remains of an ancient empire that processed unmatched power. There is a legend of something so destructive that it had to be forever sealed away hidden somewhere in Kingdom C. Kingdom A is searching for this power and it would mean the end of not only Kingdom C but also the world if they found it. THE CHARACTERS set out to stop this.[This can be combined with either of the above two lines.]
RECLAIMING THE THRONE When Kingdom A’s forces invaded Kingdom C they made a decisive attack right to its heart. The entire royal family was believed to have accidentally died in the chaos although the truth was they were executed in their own palace, except for a single prince. One of the royal guards managed to secret THE PRINCE IN HIDING away during the chaos and hide him away. Rumors of the survival of a member of the royal family has fueled a resistance movement but the lack of proof keeps Kingdom A from destroying the land in a search for the rumored heir. THE PRINCE IN HIDING has remained in hiding since the attack but it is time for him to reclaim the throne and free his kingdom. Enter THE PRINCE CHARMING, prince of Kingdom B. Kingdom B’s has no great love for Kingdom C’s sovereignty but it is much more preferable than having Kingdom A knocking on their southern boarder. THE PRINCE CHARMING has come to help THE PRINCE IN HIDING reclaim his throne.[I'm open to playing either role.]
