"From the Ashes" - Medieval Fantasy Freeform
“A war for peace and unity. Well they’ve got their peace now, in the grave, and the only unity they managed was everyone standing against them. Good riddance...”
There once was a great country, a place of racial unity and technological advancement. It was militant in nature, but its armies were used to protect the weak, ward off evil, and contain the destructive flames of war. One day though, this country thought to spread its greatness to the rest of the struggling, unfair world. Or perhaps its great power had finally corrupted its mind. Either way, a war of unprovoked conquest began.
One by one lands were overtaken, none able to stand against the great country alone. Together though, there was a chance. Slowly lands unified against the greater enemy and the tide of war shifted, men dying all the while. After decades the alliance had finally assured victory, but by then it was filled with vengeful rage. The once great and honorable country was wiped out entirely, its armies executed, its citizens murdered, and its lands looted for all their worth.
The war had taken its toll though, and healing for those that remained would take time. But some wounds would fester instead of scar, and turmoil in all forms would trouble the lands. A once hated enemy would lead a righteous rebellion, and a beloved war hero would become a criminal. Convicted gladiators would escape en masse, a weaponized plague would break out, and a great alchemist’s work would fall into the wrong hands.
The flames of war have died down, and now it is time to see what will rise from the ashes.

In a lot of ways, this is a generic medieval fantasy game. The biggest difference would be that it leans more towards lower fantasy than high, though magic and such are still present.
We've of course got plenty of things to make the world unique (gods, history, etc.), but it is otherwise pretty open.
The game is open world, allowing players to do as they please, mostly.
It’s adult rated, so there are some more mature, complicated themes present.
I hope to provide a bit of challenge throughout the game, rather than pushover adversaries and handout solutions.
The game might lean a bit towards action-adventure as well.
Come on in and have a look though, you’ll get a better idea of what the game is really like. :-)
I do not regularly check this advertisement thread. If you want my attention, you are better off sending me a private message in the game, or an rMail if you're new to RPoL (top right).
Update: November 13, 2017
The game has been running for awhile now, but it's still easy for new people to join.
Currently some preference towards an orc, goblin and/or an easterner. Or a dwarf.
We could use some characters that dabble in the criminal world, we're trying to put together a crew. They need some more direct fighter types, already got a bunch of rogue types running around.
We're still open to other ideas though.
