I am looking for people interested in a serious group roleplay. I would need someone to play a villain and a few more to play villagers who would have to face the villain. I would be playing one of the villagers and if necessary the villain as well, though I would prefer to have someone else for that role.
The following is the starter:
The Kingdom of Adylath had almost no history of seismic activity, yet for the past year, the village of Norview had been experiencing frequent Earthquakes, and nobody knew why. They started out very mild, only an occasional brief rumble from the ground, but as time passed, they steadily grew more intense. After a year, the Earthquakes were strong enough to knock things over and cause minor structural damage. The villagers feared that if they continued, they would get worse and eventually start causing serious damage and even cause injuries and death.
When the quakes first started, Norview was the only village experiencing them, but soon they were felt in other nearby villages including Icemill to the north, Violetcrest to the east, Dorhedge to the south, and Belwall, which is southwest of Dorhedge. The earthquakes seemed to be centered around what the locals called the Shadowwood Expanse, a large portion of untamed wilderness west of Norview that was always shrouded in a dense fog and was believed to be cursed. Some believed the expanse was a dwelling place of demons, and others believed that the land had fallen victim to some sort of magical accident. Still others believed that the land had been hit by a powerful magical weapon during an ancient war. There were rumors of goblins, ogres, giant spiders, feral dragons, sirens, werewolves, and all manner of demons and undead, but nobody really knew who or what inhabited the expanse as anyone who had ever entered never returned.
The mayors of all 4 villages agreed that something had to be done to deal with the earthquakes before they got any worse, but they could not agree on what to do. None of them wanted to send people into the expanse from which no one had ever returned, but they didn't know what else to do. Representatives from all four villages gathered in the Norview meeting hall to discuss the situation and decide what to do about it.
So, if anyone is interested, please let me know.
