The Seven Day War
This RP would take place in a gritty, low-fantasy setting within a world separate from our own. In the late-medieval era, two Lords fell out of favor with the King of their realm. In order to win back the king's favor, the Lords were sent off to a meeting in secret to privately duel and decide which of their lands would be most in their majesty's eye the following year. During the friendly duel, the Lord of the Hymns fell to the blade of the Lord of the Winterlands. However, with the duel initially having been made a secret between the two Lords, the fallen Lord's wife became enraged at the news of her husband's death and rallied their army to take revenge. The Duchess of Hymns along with her army rode to the North in the dead of night, taking the border between their two reigns unbeknownst to the residents of the Winterlands. In only two days, the Duchess of Hymns had forced the Duke and Duchess of the Winterlands, as well as all of their army to take up refuge within the royalty's castle. Over the next six days, the Duchess of Hymns and her army fought valiantly against the men and women of the Winterlands... but the victor has been lost to history, as after the war the winner scorched both lands of the lords and moved to take the head of the king with what was left of the combined army's forces.
In this RP I would be looking for at most 8 people (including myself) to take up the reigns as Knights heading small companies of lower-class knights (5-6 per company). 4 Knights for each side - the hymns and the winterlands - with the expectation that most of you will end up dying. I would be looking for a post from each player every other week as well, in hopes that we could complete the RP within 6-8 months. |
O snap I completely missed this thread
Okay, so I have a few questions because this plot sounds kind of confusing. Who are these Hymn and Winterland lords? Where does the backstory start and where do the players begin? I'm assuming we start as the queen of the hymns' army is besieging the castle, but I could be wrong. After that, is the victor actually decided beforehand or does the actions of players actually dictate that (depending on the side we're on)? Lastly, why would the winner 'scorch the lands' and overthrow the king, and leave their identity a mystery? If the Hymn people win, they would logically colonize the Winterland territory and tell everyone that they won. If the Winterland people win, they would force the Hymn people back to their own territory and reclaim their own, and tell everyone they had won. Hell, even if either side decided to overthrow the king, there's no reason why the victor wouldn't be known, as "the group that overthrew the king" would not be kept a secret in history. |

The lord and lady of the winterlands are rich, strong and live in the harsh environment of the frozen northern lands. Their forces are much more massive than that of the westlands and are significantly better suited for battle. Quote:

ahhh this is actually really interesting! a small group of players where there aren't half a million posts every day is something that i'd love to be a part of. plus i've never gotten to write a death post in all my years in the rpc so that'd be a fun time too. if this becomes a thing i'd totally sign up for it!
