Aegis

“My trip to the city was remarkable in many regards, but I feel it has given me great insight to some issues that have troubled me greatly. First and foremost is that the city, though a beautiful testament to the willpower of mortals, it is also tarnished, its beauty and splendour hides something foul. Though it shimmers like gold I feel like it is slowly suffocating me, dragging me deeper into an abyss of foul thoughts and wakeful nights. The second and yet more disturbing thing I realised came to me as I stared up at the towering rib-cage that surrounds the city. It is that nothing truly dies, it merely changes.”
-Penthius Farorii ‘memoirs of the road’

The dark god Mephestus died. Falling from the heavens his massive body shattered the earth beneath him. They said a god couldn’t die, in a way they were right. From the body came life and new beginnings. However darkness cannot be undone and the world faces a great and terrible threat. The question is, what will be done?

An ancient world of dark fantasy filled with monsters and conquest. An empire has risen from the skeleton of a fallen god and now marches on the world under standards of red. Their Imperator is said to be immortal, baptised in the skull of the fallen god and reborn as a living celestial. This game takes place in the early years of the empire rising. The players will have to survive in a world that is on the brink of collapse. Their actions and decisions will shape the world and etch their names into history no matter which path they take.

The game is heavily role-play focused with empathises in difficult combat and low magic capabilities. Magic users are rare and highly sought after as are magical items of any description. This means that potions ect are very rare and very expensive. The world is very homebrew so players must be willing to adapt your character backstory to suit the world and in return i will make the world accommodate for your story. There will also be homebrew mechanics such as lingering disease scars psychological damage and ageing. All races from player hand book allowed as well as a list of other races posted in main thread. All classes also allowed along with Matt Mercers bloodhunter (1.8) and gunslinger. I am not a rule Nazi and I am much more interested in the overall story we build together. I also dislike min maxing or meta gaming.

If this game goes well it may be taken to twitch or youtube as long as all players consent. Lore on the world including badly drawn world map (I’m no artist) will be included in world thread. you do not have to read the lore before posting application as the lore can always adapt to suit your character.

Game will be played on Sundays 5:30 GMT voice is required and video allowed.
