![]() Within the Midlands, a desperate offensive has been wrought for the last fifteen years, one whose goal is to stop the advance of the Torment and the cursed Afflicted from spilling forth from the abandoned Western Territories and into the last bastions of safety from the plague that exist in the Eastern Baronies. The first front of this seemingly hopeless campaign lies within the Midlands, a collection of territories and city-states that divide the Western Territories and the Eastern Baronies from one another within the continent of Vitaveus. The Republic, at behest of the Church, wages a three front war – one in which it has been losing desperately over the past thirty years. In the three decades since the Torment’s emanation within the Republic, the once-mighty Church of Decus, the reigning seat of power within the Republic, has scrambled to keep it’s sprawling kingdom from being enveloped in total anarchy. In it’s wake, the Torment has left countless thousands dead, while many thousands more subjected to a fate worse than death the curse of the Afflicted, those who would roam the lands indulging in the rampant murder and cannibalism of their countrymen, without any sense of rational thought or motive apart from primal blood lust. Beginning with it’s official discovery in late 1313, the path of destruction of this harbinger of death can be traced from western coasts of Vitaveus all the way to the eastern shores of the continent. The largest kingdom in the known world of Eden, the Republic of Decus had represented the apex of the known world’s most crowning achievements from culture, to art, to technology and beyond.With the emergence of the Torment, however, this veritable bastion of enlightenment had been set upon a path of utter destruction.Ī debilitating disease of which has claimed hundreds of thousands of souls, no known cure exists for this terror that turns it’s victims into mindless, soulless instruments of murder and destruction. Nearly thirty years have passed since the horrific plague known simply as ‘The Torment’ had first materialized in Vitaveus, the main continental holding of the Venerated Republic of Decus. The year is 1342, as declared by the Decusian Imperial Book of Time. Hope to see you there!Ī Requiem for a Dying World. There may be more, so I will keep this thread open. It is time to find your place in a crumbling world. The beacon of light now shines in Leanantla, the late sister continent of Eridan a forbidden subject left centuries in the dark with its fumbles and blunders.Now come all masters of trade, combat, politics, magics and nature.From the ashes of federations past Greycastle holds proud, but we have also heard it spoken: Time flows like a river, and history repeats itselfīehold, the powers in the spiritual realms are still ever watchful, and fortunately, without rest.Will you join in the communion of man, or will the ways of the ancients overtake you? ![]() What was intended for humankind in the beginning reflects something like a distorted dream so far away.In favorable times, it was called the golden age of man.In other times, it was called Zeal.The ultimatum however, of mankind’s legacy has never been ambition without greed, victory without bloodshed, or light without darkness. So by all means, consider this an open invitation. Now, my previous post did say I'm an avid writer myself, and someone who enjoys the story. ![]() Any attempt to be made here to give recognition to these shards is made by me personally, not the admins for whom these shards are run by. This is my attempt at being a proxy to attempt to garner attention for the wayward role-player or the avid writer. ![]()
