Introduction Hello! I am looking for 4-6 players for a game, tailored to your needs! New players are welcome, of course, as the system isn't even a month old! Before I get into some of the world details, I'd just like to talk about the style of game here. The game is intended to be fairly free and open. A bit more of a sandbox than your standard game! However, if you're looking for a finely crafted story, I can do that as well. I also tend to tackle more mature, brutal, and sexual themes in my writing, hence the 18+ tag! If your sensitive to certain topics, I can make sure that they will be avoided. I also ask that all players respect one another. Don't be a creep! I intend to tailor the game to the wants of the group, so communication is key, here. It's vital to talk to one another, and ensure that everyone is having a fun time! The game will use Discord for voice/text chat. Please make sure you have a Discord before messaging me! With all that out of the way, let's look at the world! The Crucible Resting directly in the middle of the Elemental Planes, the Crucible is the prime material plane of this world. Each of the four lands on this world lead off infinitely, until they eventually reach the elemental planes, land fading into raw, elemental energy (Or... more land, in the case of the Plane of Earth!) This world was forged by the power of the elements, and the meddling of higher powers from other planes, seeing this unique melding of the elements as a lawless playground, onto which they may unleash their most vile creations! The Lands of Fire Home to Humans, Halflings, and Dwarves, the Lands of Fire are a tense political struggle between budding nations, with the shadow of an Empire that stretches far beyond the limits of imagination, all the way to the Plane of Fire, based on some accounts.The arrival of Elves from the West spurred on the natives of the Lands of Fire, driving them in their colonial ventures across the seas, in serach of untapped goods and treasures. The kingdoms of Elves, Men, Dwarves, and Halfling fight and squabble over every little thing, while the vast Empire looms, all but ready to bowl them over. The Lands of Earth A strange and jungle-infested land, home to a series of increasingly small Empires, now ruled over by the small Kingdom of Kinera and various Orc and Lizardfolk tribes. The primary race of Kinera are strange insectoids that call themselves the Apis, who worship their mysterious Queen with zealous fervor! Traders and travelers from all other lands come here to exchange goods and slaves with the Apis kingdom,as only they seem to be able to traverse these deadly and dangerous jungles with any ease. The Apis are rather insular and xenophobic, however, limiting trade to but a single port city along their borders. None of this has stopped colonists from the Lands of Fire from building their own settlements, however. The Lands of Air The Lands of Air are the true home of the elves, who exiled themselves under mysterious circumstances after an unknown disaster. The remaining elves have formed some strange, death worshiping cult which spans the land, and have stepped far back into the continent's interior, leaving the coasts and all its valuable resources to the encroaching colonists from the kingdoms in the Lands of Fire. Ruins of great, and abandoned Elven technology and magic can be found, but even modern elves are completely unaware of their original function. The Lands of Water The Lands of Water consume all. There is no evidence that there ever was any civilization in these lands before the current Dragon Emperors, but since even the most recent constructions of these old and powerful dragons are practically in ruins, and their loyal followers are unable to repair them, one could assume that countless empires have risen, destroyed vast swathes of jungle and swamp, built their towers and their pyramids, and were consumed, nature feasting upon the corpses of countless cultures and civilizations. These lands are clearly the most hostile of all of them, so it's no wonder, then, that the colonies from the Lands of Fire in this region are the most tested and troubled. The Unknown Between these lands, there are countless uncharted, unexplored, and unclaimed islands, fortresses, and perhaps even underwater structures, land that had sunken through the ages, either weighed down by water, or forced down by forces beyond comprehension! And even still, nobody truly knows what realms lay beyond the Elemental Planes, and whether or not The Gods truly have a home of their own... The Campaign My goal for this campaign is to tailor it to the players. based on where they would most like to go adventuring, and what sort of adventures they'd like to go on! So, it's a good idea to come into this with ideas of your own, based on where you'd like to begin, and where you'd like to head. I'd also like to ask you to be open to the idea of the campaign taking place somewhere else. If any of this interests you, please message me with a short introduction and your Discord, so I can invite you to my server! If none of this interests you, I thank you for reading all the way to the end, even though you didn't enjoy it. You're a real trooper! (And another thanks for everyone who read, and was interested!) If you're somewhere between interest and disinterest, and would like to know more first, feel free to ask any questions you might have here! Have a good one!
