CALL TO ARMS : The Shadow of the Dark Sun

Post by Aldren » Sun Aug 19, 2012 9:05 pm

***The following missive begins to appear, first East of the Heartlands, slowly spreading across the Realms to appear plastered across markets, taverns, temples, and keeps alike***

TO THOSE WHO TIRE OF THE SHACKLES WROUGHT OF THE DEEDS OF "GOOD" MEN:

*Refuse your laws, they are borne of the Supreme Power.
Laws written by mortals are flawed ; imperfect ; forged in the mettle of nobles looking to pad their purses with the blood of the lessers they view their slavish people as. Those who call themself Just in the eyes of their false Gods, assumed the power birthed rightfully to others who've merely lost it since assuming thrones eternally, have for too long enforced their form of justice on those of lesser office and standing. The day for the end of false Tyrants and mortals incapable of drawing law and order in that which is outside their bounds of duty.

*The call of arms is hereby placed by the Supreme cavalier, Nerian of House Xavril, Bezanturan cavalryman, Champion of the Strife-ridden*
(((An elegant, wolf-head upon a field of sunburst and coat of arms follows the name and title above)))

If you tire of being looked upon down the bridge of your company's nose, tired of the chivalric hipocrisy of the knighthood of lords and ladies, tired of the shackles your dukes and earls have placed over your wrists, I place the call to gather as one force, march against these Tyrants and false prophets, and regain what is rightfully borne of all men - freedom.

Take up your steel, tack your horses for war. Notch your arrows and string your bows, archers. Bastards, thieves, scalliwags, bandits, pirates, men-at-arms, cavalrymen, battlefield medics and clerics of all maligned faiths, I call you all, gather together where we will muster the effort and army to topple the giants of Justice, false prophets them all.

Glory be to the Black Sun, the Prince of Three Crowns, Lord Eternally of the Supreme Law.

OOC NOTATIONS:

This intends to be a long-standing RP, with a number of events planned over the course of the next few months (or however long it takes, muahahahahaha /evillaugh). The first meeting will be a call to see what kind of evils (or chaotics/neutrals with their own agendas) would be up for a roleplay this scale, magnitude, and duration.

The event should not take more than a couple of hours, but the agenda for what will come will be made readily available at this time.

There is no level restriction or faith restriction for this - just because you are not a level 50 fighter of awesomeness, does not mean you cannot contribute in one way or another. Do not be put off by such follies.

The time can be adjusted if it does not match for everyone interested in this RP.

Much as I was kindly reminded that there was an event the day of the Everdusk fete, I'd just point out that there is a Gathering of the Wyld Flock that day.

Whoops, was meant to be the following week. That time I'm hugging trees and such.

This is the day that you suggested I not use for my gathering, because of the tourney. <.<

Sorry, Lylena.

Speeding this one up, eagerly.

I love the idea of this, but it's pretty late for me (1am). I'm fine with catching up with goings on at a later date though so don't change nuffink.

I have considered being sick for work in order to attend this but I don't think I'll be doing that. You'll have to catch me up.

Those that can't make this - this will be the first of many sessions in the coming weeks/months, if you miss this one, there will be ample opportunity to pick up in this roleplay.

Roughly four hours for those that can make this.

Underway, seemingly.

You have my deepest apologies. Work is a you know what these days, and time off is a rare thing. But, you should be seeing the Butcher show his ugly face in the future sessions.

Work's a beast lately, but I'll be trying to make it whenever I get a chance :) Expect a Dark Diva or one of the Stout Folk to pitch in whenever they can

*Posted outside the Ebon Spires atop tall, iron-wrought pikes, large banners appear, simple messages emblazzoned across them. Large, broad, heavy text written flatly across the rich silk of the banners. The first message followed by the second and final.*

*** ...THE SHADOW OF THE BLACK SUN LENGTHENS, DAY BY DAY... ***

*** ...THE DRUMS OF WAR RUMBLE ON THE HORIZON... ***

*** BREAK YOUR SHACKLES, FREE YOUR BONDS, DARKNESS LOOMS... ***


(ooc: this will be the last meeting held before pieces of this RP begin to form together. The goal here is to have as many on this side of things able to make it, make it. Venue changes to the Pride (tavern) of Zhentil Keep.)
