The Tathrel Chronicles
Tathrel, a world slowly tearing itself apart through war and political strife. It is made up of four continents, formerly at peace. Now each corrodes under its own pressure. What is behind it all? Some say each continent has its own problem, others say that each is connected. No one knows for sure, save a few, and they refuse to speak. From these continents heroes must rise, and reclaim their shattered countries.
The 4 Continents That Make Up Tathrel Are As Follows:
Aurora
The last discovered continent, so named for the stones found there. Geographically it is to the southwest of Tathrel. It is a kingdom, currently ruled by Robert Terrastal III, of the Haven Monarchy.
Aura stones, as the name suggests, give off a glowing aura, and when their power is harnessed, it is said they light an entire city up for around a year. Because of the enormous power of these stones, the King declared that they would not be exported to other countries, lest they be used to power weapons of war. The Vemcol government, angered by the Haven Monarchs mistrust, declared war. The Monarch however, fought back with the power of the very stones that sparked the war. They won, with few casualties thanks to the ancient weaponry they found.
The land is also native to Aurians, a race that has inhabited the continent since before humans. Little is known of them, but tombs and other ruins dot the landscape. Also, it is said to be home to another race, of which even less is known, the Zenith.
Half of the country however is now occupied by the undead legion, who kill all in their path, and for every soldier that falls, another joins their ranks. They are led by the Lich King, and backed by the vampires.
The capital is Haven, a sprawling city of huge proportions, one of the largest in the world. The undead occupying the western half of the continent take the newly built Citadel of Destruction as their capital, though much of the rest of the lands are shrouded in fog, so geographical features are unknown.
Aklere
A religious country, Aklere is filled with priests and other religious types. It is southeast on the map, and divided into four separate lands. The first, and largest, is Aklere itself, the center of the Davalos faith. Its capital is Aklex, a port on the western side of the continent, overflowing with people of the Davalos faith, and the grand cathedral sits atop a hill, silently watching the ocean. North is El'atheal, home of the elves, and also home to many of the resistance led by the man known as Zephyr Gerus. West of there is new Aklere, the land already claimed by the resistance, who claim the Akleran council of high priests is corrupt, and that they fight for the people. The capital there is Rebertha, a fairly small town. South of there is a constellation of seven isles, known as the elemental isles, as the Aklerans believe that each island represents an element.
The country is caught up in strife, the resistance using hit and run tactics. To counter this, the high priests appointed a strange man known as Valkrian as the leader of the elite group known as the crusaders.
Vemcol
A country that, unlike the others, is not being ravaged by war. It is instead being eaten at from within, as the senate that rules the country is fighting an internal war. Assassinations are common, and assassins themselves are in high demand.
Situated to the northwest, Vemcol is home to many different peoples, including the orcs who live in the mountain ranges that populate the country, as well as the Hundai and Praetorians. To the southeast lies Eje, a port town nearest the center of the known world, which is shrouded in mist, and unreachable by land, sea or air.
Curth
Homeland of the humans, and center of the human empire, Curth is also home to the elves, who live in Mei'ora, south of High Curth itself, the central country. At the center of High Curth lies Krath, a city home to the Palace of Emperor Tyral, emperor of Tathrel. Mei'ora is a self governed country, ruled by a group of six in its capital Oratus. To the west lies the country of Santis, it's capital Exeras to the southwest. Northmost is Ha'eal, ruled over by Dark Elves, and some Orc slaves or warriors. They are under the rule of Lord Vartyyk, a dark elf who seized power in the civil war within the country a year ago. The country is at war, Santis having allied itself with the dark elves and orcs of Ha'eal, and High Curth with the elves of Mei'ora. High Curth suffers attacks from both north and west, and the elves of Mei'ora are battered by Santis as well.
Races
Humans
The most common race throughout the world, Humans possess high intelligence and moderate power. They have harnessed magic, and can wield it fairly well in combat. Advanced technologists and inventors, Humans have developed much technology which has helped in everyday life. Their most recent and popular creation was the airship, monstrous machines that glide through the air with ease. They have various views toward other races, varying from person to person mostly, though their official stance is to try and be fair to all.
Elves
Elves are are a generally rare people, usually staying on their own continent of Curth. They are quite tall with pale skin and pointed ears, and very precise shots with a bow. They harness magic well, attack and healing. They keep to themselves mostly, though loud and boisterous cases are not unheard of. They are at home in the forests of Mei'ora, and can even communicate with nature to a point.
Dark elves are similar to to elves, but less tolerant of other races, and their skin is a pale purple. They have higher grasp of dark and offensive magic, but less of healing. Usually aggressive towards others, Dark Elves live in Ha'eal in the north of Curth.
Hundai
A Human subspecies thats exact time of creation and details of is unknown. They tend to be quieter, and more precise in their actions than Humans, and are good listeners, only speaking when needed. When in battle sometimes they can enter a state of high focus, making time seem to slow around them, giving them the upper hand for the duration of this stance. Usually more intelligent than the standard Human, but less interested in technology.
Praetorians
Another Human subspecies, probably created around the same as Hundai. Praetorians however, are very different to Hundai, often hot-headed and rash, better suited to combat than Hundai. When angered in battle they can enter a frenzied state, killing everything in their path. This attack can be dangerous in heigher leveled cases, where the Praetorian loses all sense of who they are allied with, and sometimes even killing allies. Generally they tend not to get on with Hundai.
Orcs
A race of brutish warriors with low intelligence and high power. Orcs have no grasp on magic whatsoever but are skilled fighters. Their low intelligence makes them prime targets for the dark elves who use them as slave labor and cheap warriors. Native to the mountains of Vemcol Orcs have green skin and brutish pig-like faces. They stand a head higher than the average human and have been known to take Human slaves in raids.
Aurians
A mysterious people, of whom few remain. They are skilled healers and excellent at harnessing magic. Of the hundred or so left, none knows anything about the ruins left by their ancestors, as the knowledge has been lost to the ages. Most prefer not to fight unless necessary, but some are less hesitant. They look similar to Humans on most counts, but their eyes are always an emerald green.
Zenith
Nothing is known about these mysterious people, but they are said to be protectors of Aurora, returning when it is in need. If this is so then where are they now? The Undead Legion continues its withering assault yet the Zenith have yet to show themselves. Many believe them mere myth, but others take it as a sign that Aurora is not truly in need, and can save themselves without the Zenith's assistance.

RULES:
1) No godmodding please. Those who do will be warned, and if they continue I will ask them to leave. Just don't go overboard with it, and balance a characters large physical strength with something equally crippling, like very poor magical defense.
2) You may have up to two characters, any more and it can get confusing. If you really want more PM me and we can work it out, but for the most part stick to a limit of two please.
3) Play nicely. No bashing other people because their character did something you didn't like. If they did, politely ask them to refrain from it in the future, (within reason of course) and work it out like the civilised people so many claim they are.
4) On that note, do not purposely do anything to agitate someone else, if your looking to pick a fight, do it elsewhere.
5) Remember, this isn't real life. Have fun with it! Not everyone will be able to be here all the time so be patient. In an RP you can be somebody else, so do so and have fun with it!
Important Characters:
King Robert Terrastal III
The King of Aurora, a man who rules the country as best he can within Haven Castle, the central structure of Haven City. A fair king, or at least he tries to be. He is generally untrusting of other nations, especially after the Aurora-Vemcol war, however he begins to doubt Aurora's ability to survive against the undead on his own. He sets up the Black Gale cup to attract warriors from all over Tathrel in the hopes of finding potential lieutenants and/or generals.
The Lich King
A mysterious being in control of the Undead Legion, this figure is shrouded in mystery. He is backed by his grand commander in charge of military affairs, an undead known as Curiaal, and his strategist Lance Hellsting, a vampire of the clan Hellsting. His brutality is incredible, and he is ruthless in his conquest of Aurora. Beyond that, little is known.
Valkrian
A man of unknown origins, Valkrian is the leader of the Crusaiders, the elite military sect of the Akleran government. He is a widely known schizophrenic, and is completely insane. Despite all this however, the government ruled that he best fit the role of the Crusaiders leader. His multiple personalities vary, and he seems able to control a seperate element depending on which one is currently in control. Sometimes he is calm and quiet, other times impulsive and rash. This makes him an unpredictable fighter at best, and in battle he either offers his foes quick and painless deaths, slow and merciless, or brutal etc.
Zephyr Gerus
The leader of the resistance against the Akleran government, claiming it is corrupt. He is spurred on by his second in command Laura Oroxa. He wields a pair of 'handguns,' newly designed technology created by the resistance that fires pieces of metal at high speed. Many know of it as the uber crossbow.
Raj
A strange figure supposedly hunting Valkrian, for unknown reasons. He cuts down any in his way, and few have seen him. He calls himself the dark hunter, and fights with a pair of katanas.
Lee Talon
A Hundai-Praetorian cross.(something appreciated by neither side) He owns an estate with his sister in southern Vemcol, near Eje. He is a skilled fencer, like his sister, and the pair are seen as complete opposites. Lee is desperately trying to stop his sister before she does something drastic in her actions, and often ends up doing the wrong things for the right reason. What he is actually trying to stop is unknown however.
Amelia Talon
A Hundai-Praetorian cross like her brother, Amelia seems to be desperately searching for something, although it is unknown to all but Lee who. She is a skilled fencer like her twin brother, and her style mimics his. She seems to end up doing the right thing for the wrong reason as well.
Raziel Jeagus
A traveler cloaked almost entirely in blood red, Raziel travels Tathrel, rarely stopping for anything. He wields dual longswords, and cuts down those who would dare oppose him easily. Apart from his eyes, his body is covered in red robes, gloves, boots etc. except for his eyes, which are also red anyway. What he is traveling
for is unknown however.
EDIT: Since we have a few joiners I'll add my profiles.
Name: Kaizer Golthern
Age: 19
Race: Human/Aurian
Weapon Of Choice: Spear
Occupation: Security
Hometown: Remos (Town in the south of Aurora)
Personality: Usually quite laid back, Kaizer enjoys living life to its fullest, and finds adventuring an exciting prospect. His motto is "go with the flow" and he lives life with little care for tomorrow. He hates the undead for what they did to his family and home, and whenever they are mentioned all happiness drains from his face and he becomes as serious as his partner Tealos. Greatly dislikes being underestimated and has a thirst to prove himself as the powerful warrior he thinks he is.
Appearance: Standing at just above 6 foot Kaizer wears a black shirt and dark blue jeans and black boots and gloves. He has short untidy platinum hair and sky blue eyes. He is also fairly pale. His spear is usually either in his hand or holstered on his back.
History: Kaizer enjoyed the first 11 years of his life in peace within the small town of Remos. However this all changed the evening the Undead Legion attacked. His parents were both brutally murdered in front of his eyes, and he blacked out soon after. The following morning the town lay in utter ruins, and Kaizer was still alive somehow. He was found by Tealos Veilere, and taken as his apprentice. The pair traveled to Gotix, a town further west on the continent, and behind the quickly assembled border. There they both became security guards for the mine there, protecting it from monsters that attacked. This earned them a small house in the village, and they began storing money for the 'Black Gale' cup, a warrior tournament being held in Haven.
Name: Tealos Veilere
Age: 34
Race: Hundai
Weapon Of Choice: Longsword
Occupation: Security/Prize Fighter
Hometown: Eje
Personality: Cool, calm and collected, Tealos is the picture of a typical Hundai; withdrawn and quiet. He rarely speaks unless needed, and has a tendency to lash out if asked about his past. He generally livens up around his apprentice Kaizer however, and most people agree that while a little rough around the edges, Tealos is a good guy. He is exceedingly intelligent, probably due to the fact he is Hundai, and is exceptionally good at pointing out useful battle strategies.
Appearance: Tealos stands at 6'5, and wears a faded silver breastplate, as well as leggings. His right arm is mostly bare, while his left is covered in armor, finishing in a sizable gauntlet. He wears a black undershirt and jeans. He has black hair down to his shoulders, and dark blue eyes.
History: Not much is known about Tealos' history, as anyone who's asked is either dead or knows not to ask again for fear of it. However, he shows connection to the great strategist Satole, who died in Vemcol's last attack about 10 years ago, though anyone who has questioned that probably won't show up for another few decades. He found Kaizer in the ruins of Remos, and took him under his wing. The pair both moved to Gotix and worked as security guards. Tealos occasionally ventured out to fight in tournaments, and earned himself a bit of a reputation. He is waiting for the 'black gale' cup, the biggest tournament in Aurora.
