Retribution of a Fallen God Signup

[SaigoKusunoki]

Yeah so I guess Im gonna try my hand at this. Mind you, it's been years since I've started/run an RP myself so bear with me. Firstly, this is more of an experiment thing; Im writing a series of books, that started with an RP on a different board many years ago. I wanna see how the same idea would go on a different board with more mature RPers. Anywho, here it is;
__________________________________________________ ______________
Archanas. Land of the Free, the most powerful and wealthy nation on the continent of Talea. A country ridden with strife and corrupt leaders, everything was set right when one Saigo Kusunoki stepped to the throne. For nineteen years he ruled justly; the people were wealthy and happy, food and clothing was abundant, and for all intents and purposes, the country was an example of the perfect country. That time was cut short.

Prime Minister Morian Baneblade, part of Emperor Kusunoki's High Council for nine years, was sent with one million soldiers, along with the entire Royal Navy, over the western sea, to seek new lands. When he reached new land, he happened upon a tribe of feral humans calling themselves the Gorobar. In a gesture of peace and friendship, they gave Morian a flesh covered tome, the contents of which explained the coming of the Demon God Malak'har. Slowly, the tome began to turn Morian insane. He began to hear whispers of Malak'har, slowly at first, then he began to have conversations with the God. Malak'har had possessed him.

Using his newfound power, Morian turned the minds of the million soldiers, the Legio Dominatus, and corrupt in purpose, they returned to Archanas, murder in their thoughts, as well as three million Gorobar backing them.

The destruction rent was intense; brother fought brother, father fought son, and there was sorrow in Archanas once again. Even Emperor Kusunoki himself, though one of the most powerful beings in existence, fell to Morian's sword, thus damning the world.

For five hundred years, the peoples around the world suffered under Morian's harsh rule. Those who resisted, died. Those who gave in still suffered as horrible monstrosities, warped and twisted by the mutating powers of Malak'har. There are few places that now stand against his ultimate power.

There is a prophecy, however, that soon, God will fight God, and peace will be restored.

Alright this RP is set in an obvious fantasy world. The technology is about as far as having gunpowder rifles and cannons. Thats about it, everything else is sword and shield type stuff.

Now, on to specifics. Here's a list of races and their starting locations.

Humans(Archanans): Hardy humans of Archanas, those who have not fallen to heresy or died. Typical humans, if not post-Apocalyptic mindset types.
Starting Location: The Academy, Bastion of Dawn's Light

North Elves: North elves are sadistic, sadomasochistic, and are surprisingly, against Morian. They are so because their King, Kalaador Aferaanor, was friends with Saigo Kusunoki. Typical elves in the sense that they live forever until killed, heightened speed and such, frail. They are more close combat oriented than the other elves, their cavalry being unmatched in the world.
Starting location: Naorond.

East Elves: More peaceful elves of the East. They are highly in tune with magic and prefer to work on pieces of art or music instead of making war, but in times as desperate as this, they are not without their fighting capabilities.
Starting Location: Ultherathor, The Academy.

Sylvan Elves: Elves who live in the living forest in Archanas, the Divine Glade. Typical wood elves in all senses, leaning more towards the Asrai of Warhammer.
Starting Location: The Divine Glade.

Dwarves: Hardy peoples who once lived in the mountains of Archanas, but were almost completely wiped out when Morian turned. Typical dwarves.
Starting Location: The Bastion of Dawn's Light

Humans (Dhala'kar): Barbaric peoples of the southern rainforests, friendly with the Archanans. Have adapted to two climates, the harsh humid rainforest, and the cool darkness of a complicated underground tunnel system that stretches all throughout the continent.
Starting Location: Dhala'kar

Demons: Beings summoned from the Nether to serve Morian. They are his most expendable resource, as there are at least one thousand demons in the Nether to every one being in Talea. They require a complicated ritual to be summoned.
Starting Location: Daranaughl.

Humans (Heretics): Those living in Archanas that chose to submit to Morian instead of die. Their bodies are usually horribly mutated from being so close to so many demons, as well as their own demonic worship. This also includes the Gorobar, those who introduced Morian to Malak'har.
Starting Location: Daranaughl

Vampire: A completely neutral race. Not so typical vampires; as crucifix's dont exist in this world, they are instead repelled by any holy symbol that would ward against evil. They can be out in the sun, but holy water and a wooden stake will still kill them as normal. Not undead as typical of Vampires, but living beings. Cannot transform into a bat or anything, but older ones may grow wings. They can be aligned with either Morian or any other. Not necessarily evil.
Starting Location: Anywhere.

Heretic (General): Any race could have traitors who began following Morian, so if you want, you can have a character of any race starting in Daranaughl under Morian's rule. The above were just a majority count type thing.

Alright, now a little more describing of the starting locations themselves.

The Academy: When Emperor Saigo was just a teenager and homeless, he was allowed to attend the world famous Archanas Academy of Magic and Warfare. It is here he learned everything he knew. There was no strict racial or monetary policy; room and board was free for those who had the drive to learn. People from every race flocked to the school to become learned in two of the most valuable professions, magic and warfare. Nowadays, the school is home to civilians who survived the Sundering at Daranaughl. Before he died, Emperor Saigo placed a magical, protective seal around the school, that would only fade if he was to return to the mortal realm. It keeps the students and residents safe...for now.
Important Residents:
Sunev Kusunoki - Saigo's wife, the Empress.
Elvilad Elrundel - Saigo's High Council Master Strategist, now Headmaster of the Academy.

The Bastion of Dawn's Light: When Morian turned traitorous, Saigo was actually in Dhala'kar making peace with it's people. He raced back to the capital when he felt something was wrong, leaving his army behind. Led by his good friend and former teacher Geliath Jerramas, the army marched back Archanas to find it in ruin. Assuming they were the only living Archanans, they made their way to the northwest, to the newly completed Bastion of Dawns Light, a massive fortress set in a gigantic mountain. For five hundred years, the soldiers and their descendants have fought off demonic assault.
Important Residents:
Abzadrael Stormshatter - A descendant of Jerramas, he is the Grand Marshal of the defense at the Bastion.
Enav Dunedhal - Dwarven swordsmith, master Engineer.

Naorond: Land of the North Elves. The climate is cold and dry, with little trees and many mountains. Despite this, the Naoronians are known for their expert cavalry, who defy physics and gravity by weaving their horses up and through mountains. The King, Kalaador, is benevolent but merciless. His people love him, but his enemies fear him, as they should.
Important Residents:
Kalaador Aferaanor - King of Naorond.
Bracchus - Kalaador's aged Dragon mount.
Maleus Pegasi - Horselord and the King's right hand man.

Ultherathor: Beautiful land of the East Elves, covered in rivers, forests, and grasslands, always green. It is bordered by mountains and a large ring of fire, both conjured by High Mage Corynnaar to keep Morian's forces out.
Important Residents:
High Mage Corynnaar - Leader of Ultherathor. Powerful mage

The Divine Glade: Entrancing forest in the middle of Archanas. The trees themselves are alive and motile, and thus, have been able to keep Morian's forces from destroying the forest. Home of the Sylvans, whom are led by the noble Neldor Starwind. Their King, Dorinaar, has been missing for over eight hundred years and is presumed dead, though Neldor believes he is still alive.
Important Residents:
Neldor Starwind - Current leader of the Sylvan elves.
Ay'Tiesh - A gigantic treant, the oldest living being still alive.

Dhala'Kar: Thick, humid rainforest of the south. Filled with poisonous fruits, plants, and insects, it is a veritable no man's land, and it is where the Dhala'kari make their home. There are a few caves which lead to a massive underground tunnel system, that stretches around the entire continent. None but the Dhala'kari, and Saigo knew about this tunnel system.
Important residents:
Arturo'kar - King of Dhala'kar.

Daranaughl: Once a massive, beautiful city unmatched by any in the world, it was destroyed in the death wakes of Saigo Kusunoki and was rebuilt in a twisted mockery of it's former glory. The walls seethe and writhe as if alive, and the acrid taste of disease hangs in the air. It is here where Morian and his army makes it's home.
