Forget the sparkly, red shoes. Forget Toto. Forget Kansas. And Elphaba and Fiyero and Shiz University? Those don’t exist. This Land of Oz draws inspiration from L. Frank Baum's and Gregory Maguire’s masterpieces, but it stretches things in ways that neither of them dreamed up and creates an alternate universe of what could have been.
Meet Raslan, the new Wizard of Oz. Unlike his infamous predecessor, he actually has power. Immense power. His bitter, greedy, and blackened heart yearns for indestructibility.. and he will stop at nothing to get it. Dark was the day that Raslan Galdar took over as the Head Wizard of Emerald City. Dark, and filled with darker days to come.. |

| Fable 3: most wanted: Reaver, Hero Queen |

Seven months have passed since The Crawler's invasion had nearly decimated Albion. A month after the coup d'état had failed during the Ravenscar Keep riot, life still has not yet returned to normal for the citizens of Albion. With the collapse of the economy still present despite Reaver's return to his post at Reaver Industries, lower-class to upper-class families are suffering the consequences of the otherwise glorious defeat of the Darkness.
Rebuilding homes and communities takes time, but what about the countless lives lost during the invasion? The Crawler's attempt to replace light with dark had been successful in its own way. Albion's future is looking bleak with so many disillusioned people not knowing how to pick themselves up and move on.
The new Hero Queen's otherwise popular rulership notwithstanding, quality of life is at an all-time low. In Millfields, the local balverine population had doubled after Reaver had invited his entourage of sophisticated balverines to the community more than a year ago. Balverine attacks are steadily on the rise, and not a day goes by without an incident involving these monsters.
After ex-Sergeant Saker had turned his mercenary guild into a legitimate business, the few bandit gangs scattered across the realm continue to intimidate trader caravans and adventurers. Amid all of this are rumours of Shadow Temples, and an Assassin's Guild settling comfortably amongst the ruins of Albion's once healthy society.
And if these issues were not enough, the port town of Bloodstone has recently been brought to the attention of the Hero Queen. In spite of being isolated from the rest of the Kingdom due to Wraithmarsh, compared to the Bowerstone region... Bloodstone as a community has flourished.
On account that lawmen are as rare as hen's teeth, organized and disorganized crime is the way of life in Bloodstone. Nearly everything is for sale, and work is easier and more profitable than anything that could be found in Bowerstone Industrial, legal or not.
The Royal Family have no neighbours to rely on for help. Samarkand is too far away; the Court's troubled relationship with Aurora has yet to change for the better, and now trouble is brewing at Bloodstone. These matters have left the Hero Queen with few allies.
What is to become of Albion?

Anyone play Mark Wahlberg and interested in a Mark/Donnie line set in the early 90s? Since my last one died, I've really wanted to start another one.

| Marchen Heights |
[13 Jan 2012|11:55pm] |
Once Upon A Time is such an innocuous phrase. No one says when that time is. There’s nothing to say that it wasn’t 1838. 1924. 2012.
Once Upon A Time, a building was built on a vacant lot in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The area had been left alone for years, unclaimed by state or owner due to a technicality in legal work. The lot was rumored to be haunted, because of a ghastly ghost story which circled the area. In the late 2000’s construction began, creating a building that was advertized as reinventing the apartment complex - Marchen Heights.
It appealed to the wealthy, looking for a new place to claim. For some, it was an escape from bitter exes or a past rife with scandal. It appealed to the poor, when a lottery offered spots to a select few. For them, it was a chance to flee an abusive home or try to make it in a grim world. It appealed to those who fell in between, not realizing they needed a change. Moving across the Charles River – or further – wasn’t always their intention. Marchen Heights and the people who rented out the apartments were impossible to resist.
What few realized though was that those given the chance to live in this complex were not there to seek out a fairytale life. That had already been granted to them. There’s reason to fear the man with rumors about past wives – to be kind to the maid with ashy feet. Each resident has a story even though they’re not aware of it yet.
Marchen Heights is a fairytale and folklore based game with a set time frame. Characters are based on figures from tales around the world and will be ensnared in the mysteries of Marchen. A smaller, fast-paced game, Marchen intends to be a unique roleplaying experience.
