The Pursuit of Ashbringer

[Murar Bonefang]

THE PURSUIT OF ASHBRINGER

 

 

"Anira Tyamlayean eo Illairfmelvam" closely translates to "The Pursuit of Ashbringer" This is ritual, going on for the last 300 years, that all male elves undertake, upon reaching adulthood. Participants of this event are known to be brave ones, atleastm, the ones that made it back alive. Yet, no one has yet managed to complete the task as yet.

 

The Ashbringer was a once mighty sword, that literally brought about instant death to the Undead that now rule upon the continents of Kalimdor. All that remained was ash.....

Sadly the mighty sword is no longer in existence for the scourge minions, the Forsaken, has captured and with the help of some strong magic has broken up the Ashbringer into pieces and has it scattered throughout the lands.

It is rumored that the individual factions are well hidden deep into the lands, but these individual pieces of sword are powerful artifacts themselves, each imbued with powerful magic.

 

Several factions will compete annually for this auspicious journey, some for their own benefits, some for the reputation of the tribe factions or some for the greater good. Frustrated with the years of failure, this year onward, the quest has been made open to all the tribes, even the humans and the half-lings have been allowed to compete in this dangerous quest. What awaits these travelers is eternal glory.

The tribes which are participating are: Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Half-lings.

The ex-scourge members, the Taurens wanted to participate too, but they were not allowed. And a warning notice was put up that any Tauren/Orc people captured dead or alive would be rewarded.

 

The Mechanism of the RPG

:

Each player will start off from his village; whatever is known of these lands has been notified to the participant. The player will choose his starting faction and class from among Fighter, Ranger, Rogue and Wizard. New classes might be made available at higher levels.(15+) The participants have been granted some meager rations and some arms and equipment. It is believed that a strong competitor will be able to procure arms and equipment by killing the several guardians that roams these lands.

On killing each adversary, the adventurers will gain experience, level up, and get access to newer skill sets. They may also find several merchants who ply in these lands, offering their goods and services to all people, the good and the bad alike. Several smiths of these lands have been assembled to make fine goods available in the individual shops the starting villages, for the benefit of the explorers.

You did NOT say that the Forsaken are the minions of the Scourge! If you're going to make a Warcraft RP, GET THE LORE RIGHT!

^ Uncalled for.

 

However, you're missing RP rules. Add them. You have 24 hours.

[Murar Bonefang]

what RP rules needs to be added ?? i am at a loss here :(

 

@ keto :

what ever hasn't been posted, isn't there in the world. as time passes along, they might be added. for that matter, i have not yet added undead as well . forsaken > undead ? :o

[Kōsuke Ueki]

I'll reserve for now. For a N00b(and I hate myself for calling you that) you have a lot of experience when it comes to making an RPG.

[Murar Bonefang]

i would have like to be called a newbie from a 5 star member ...

[Asriel Dreemurr]

You mentioned in the plot that the Forsaken are the minions of the Scourge. I will admit that my immediate reaction was inappropriate, but lore wise the Forsaken, or in World of Warcraft the playable undead, are one of my all time favorite factions. The Forsaken are the Undead that broke away from the Scourge under the leadership of Sylvanis Windrunner. That being said, in the absence of my anger I actually see this as a pretty cool RP. Good job man. Still deciding whether or not I wanna get in on this.

 

Also, the Scourge are the undead under control of the Lich King, in other words they're the undead you cannot play as. And as far as RP rules, you need to make some up for this RP. Even if you just put in "All YCM Roleplaying rules apply".

[Murar Bonefang]

yeah .... I am pretty aware of it myself.

 

I didn't add Undead faction for a reason, if one certain player starts with undead summoners, he will some point in time want necromancy, that would severely handicap the game.

 

Hence i abstained from Undead faction, among the Horde, i will allow only the Orcs. Also as i mentioned before, this is influenced not only by warcraft but also several other games as well.

[bury the year]

...if you're aware, then you should've added the rules. LOCKED.
