The Northmen - - A band of men have endured. They have survived it, the evil chilling-winds that are spewed from the north. They have proved to their gods, that they are able to survive in such harsh climates; that they are able to eat, drink, and be reborn in the evil weather. Of course they are able to. They are the Northmen. The Northmen seek glory to please their gods. Their world revolves around the words 'honor', and 'glory'. They seek out courage and bravery. They test their will and fearlessness in battle. Afterall, what's there to fear in battle, when death is glorifying for them? - Religion: The Northmen refer to themselves as 'Vieldunes'. They do not believe in a single god/God, but many of them. They believe their gods are alive and watch from Gellehalle, influencing their lives, and favoring some over others. Roverrodin: Ruler of Gellehalle and father of the gods. God of warriors, honor/courage, and fighting. Represented in Northmen mythology with an axe and shield. Clarre: Daughter of Roverrodin. Goddess of hunting/fishing, women, fertility/farming, animals, family, and marriage, wisdom, and knowledge.. Represented with a bow. Krefflin: Son of Roverrodin. God of smithing and forging, luck, humor, ale, friendship, courtesy, and humanity. Represented with a hammer. Cloeise: Daughter of Roverrodin. Goddess of love, marriage, beauty, endurance, emotion. - The religion of the Vieldunes is called Meltian. They believe the Earth was created by Roverrodin as training-grounds. He was trying to create dummies, but he accidentally created humans, orcs, dwarves, and elves. He loved these creatures as much as his children, and so he added detail to them. He called the gods together and cut off little pieces of their soul and used it to bring them far deeper into reality. From Clarre, he took intelligence and wisdom and gave it to them. From Krefflin he took friendship and kindness, and gave it to them. From himself, he gave them a ferocity and anger. From Cloeise, he took love and emotion, and gave it to them. They were now ready for existence Vieldunes (Northmen), believe in a Gellehalle, or heaven. To reach Gellehalle, Vieldunes know there is only one way: To die honorably in battle. That is why Vieldunes do not fear death. They welcome it, when the time is right. When they die, Northmen count on Roverrodin to either send take them to Vliekhalle (boring heaven), or Gellehalle (fun heaven). In Gellehalle, the bravest warriors fight each other and die every day. They are then resurrected, drink ale, and then go back to fighting. - Lifestyle: Vieldunes live in small settlements. They have a king, who governs them, and a court system, which can punish or reward them. Vieldunes are very aquatic, and build boats and ships to raid cities and kingdoms. They are known as savages and heathens, throughout. They take what they can and rarely spare lives. After all, a man/woman utilizes all his or her riches in Gellehalle. They usually farm or fish to acquire foods. - OOC/App (You can always join RPly) : Ooc - Minecraft IGN: Skype (not required): ----------- RP - Name: Age: Race: Reason for joining?: Will you convert to Meltian?:

Grey Company In ages past, the rulers of Oren were protected by the Dragon Guard, who were later dismissed for a lack of need and incompetence. The duty fell to the Lion, who were disbanded into the Red Dragon, and they had other duties to attend to. This led to King William III of Horen to commission Grey Company, and elite bodyguard answerable only to him. The duty of Grey Company is to protect the Crown, and it's family, but firstly the Monarch. They take orders from the King alone, and not even the regent would command them. For if need arose, they would even remove a corrupt regent if he was threatening Royal power and rule. They would put the kings life above all, and risk anything to save him, even the capital or royal blood. Equipped with superior arms, armor, and skills, they make sure the king is never in danger, his tasks are completed or they die trying.

-+- The Crimson Fist -+- (( Information given in this thread is solely out of character, and must not be metagamed )) The Crimson Fist of Retribution, more commonly referred to as The Crimson Fist, is an organization started and led by Darius Mercer and his most trusted friends. It is a rebellious order with the intention of reforming Oren, and bringing justice to its officials. For a long while, the group has lurked in the shadows, and is now finally ready to spread its influence on Anthos, both in Oren, and in other nations. The Crimson Fist wishes to bring back what they call "the old ways", which is how Oren was ruled a long time ago, before the phoenix revolution. They hope to win the hearts of the people, and amass an amount of people large enough to destroy Oren through violent actions. In order to do this, The Crimson Fist is also searching for possible allies beyond Oren, who are just as dissatisfied with the tyrant emperor, Horen V, as themselves. Through political propaganda and persuasion, the order attempts to turn the citizenry of Oren, against their own throne. They are no fools however, and will at this point not preach openly in front of a crowd, for they wish not to be compromised. As an alternative, the order works in the shadows, writing political propaganda to hand out to common man on the street, or individually speaking to the illiterates of the society, about the cause. Where the order resides at this point, is only known to the members. Only individuals who are trustworthy may join the organization, and any treason within the order is harshly dealt with. ((At the moment, recruiting is done IG, and there is currently no way of contacting the group, unless contacted by the organization itself. This may change. I'll add more information soon, as the order grows. Since there have been several requests on apps, I've decided to add them. If you wish to join, fill out the short and simple app, and then we'll contact you in game, and arrange something.))
