The Five Kingdoms
Ah, welcome young traveler. I see that you have put many distances upon your feet. Come, sit down, lets talk for a while. What's that? You are new to this country? Well, that, just won't do. If you don't know about where you are, then you won't even make it to the next town. So, I guess that means I have to tell you everything, huh? Well, no matter, I was bored anyways.
The Kingdoms
Spoiler:
Spoiler:
This, here, is the map of this country, the stars are where the captial is and where the ruler will be. You should memorize it well, for it will help you find out where you are and what to expect. I will give you a quick run down of each kingdom, but you will have to found out more yourself. Though, I think that I should first tell you have things are run here:
The Rulers
Each of the Kingdoms are ruled by a king or queen. However, the king or queen is not decided by blood and relations like in other countries. No, here, it is decided by the gods. The Legendaries, who rule all things. Each of the kingdoms have a certain type of Legendaries, like water or fire, that watch over and selects the new ruler, which they often search for in their human form. Although, it should be said that they never go into fights between humans or Pokemon own by humans, though they can protect their ruler. It is rarely the same Legendary twice, though that has known to happen. When a Legendary has selected a new ruler, which can be anyone so long as they were born in that kingdom, they will bow and give their oath of loyality to that person. The new ruler will gain immortality and will be able to govern the land. Although, that is usually easier said then done...For if the ruler ever does anything that oppesses the people, start an unnesscary war, or slays even a single innocent, they will die right on the spot and the Legendary will vanish, not returning for many a century.
But enough about that, lets get on to the kingdoms themselves shall we?
Primoris
Ah, yes, this kingdom to the north. A very quiet kingdom, usually keeps to itself and trades little, though it has much of the open sea. It is a great exporter of iron, tin and some bronze. But the most coveted prize is at the very tip of this reigon, where one can find the Nevermeltingice. This special ice can be used to make some of the most deadly of weapons, though it is hard and danergous to find. Not only that, but it can freeze the user as much as the coldest blizzard. Only a very few, the ruler included, can wield such a weapon. This, I have heard, has caused some contraversy with in that land. Talk grows of a hidden storage of the Nevermeltingice somewhere. The lords say that the peasants are hiding it for a revolt while the peasants say that the lords and ladies are keeping them away so that they may threaten the poorer. Tension is growing, and I don't quite know what will happen...Anyways, the water and ice Legendaries keep an eye on that kingdom.
Secundis
This kingdom lays to the east, with more moderate temperatures then Primoris. Though there is always a gust of wind blowing from somewhere. This has lead to the people studying new and different ways to harness this power, be it for supplying energy or to dance in the sky or to make fighters for the air. I hear that the ruler has the best flier of them all, that can go invisible or change shape. Really, their technology is second only to Quartus'. But that doesn't mean all is well in this land either. Recently, some of the windmills, which power at least half of the kingdom, have started to malfunction. No one knows the reason for this and the problem has been fixed most every time, but people are still worried...Flying Legendaries, naturally, call this place home.
Tertius
Let me give you a small tip; if you see a big, burly man, or woman sometimes, who's loud and likes to hit people, more likely then not that person is from Tertius. This hot land give all sorts of people you would expect from such a heated climate. Though not the smartest people around, what they lack for brain they more then make up with brawn. Honestly, if you ever get a Tertiusian mad at you, you better hope that your legs are faster then theirs, because the only way you'll get away is by out running them. Although, they are also known to be as loyal as an old dog if you can help them or get their trust. War is their game, and they will take any chance they have to prove that they are stronger then the person beside them. I even hear that the ruler has a sword that sparks flames and lighting! Of course, I think all of this loud talk and love of war and battle is finally reaching the breaking point. Civil War is now the main topic of discussion in that land...The Legendaries of Fire, including Groundon, watch over and act in that place.
Quartus
If I may give some advice: beware of Quartus. Though you certainly wouldn't know it from the look of the place, that kingdom is probably the most dangerous out there. While the Tertiusians are stupid and annoying, at least you know where you stand with them. But with a Quartian, silence and passiveness is their game. They'll drink with you in the morning then, for seemingly no reason, stab you as you sleep. Though, trust me, that's not to say that they are all souless killers or anything like that, though I have heard the best assassins come from there. There are a good many decent folk there, not to mention the brightest. If you want to know where the latest techno-gear is, then you have to go there. Their buildings even raise up higher then in Secundis, all made of metal. Though weak physically, they make up for it with these amplifier they have around their heads which increases their mind powers. I hear the ruler there as an amplifier that can allow them to communicate with the 'phychc energy', or something like that, of the land. Natrually, all this secretiveness will bite you in the but just as much as being loud and open will. I hear a kind of civil war is going on there, too. But, if you ask me, it's more like a stupid game of chess...Psychc Legendaries rule here.
Diapente
Last, but definately not least, is the kingdome of Diapente. This kingdom is a kind of jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none. Being in the very centre means that it has the best trade routes to every other kingdom and it has flourished under the amount of money it gets just from these merchants. Of course, this also means that they are the most under threat from the other kingdoms. Not that I think they would have too much of a problem holding onto their land. Their warriors are second only to Tertiusians and the same can be said about how smart they are compared to the Quartusians, though they don't spend a lot of that smarts on technology like them. They also have a huge supply of Dragon Scales, which they beat into their swords and armour, making them nearly unbreakable. The ruler is said to have a a set of armour made so perfectly, that though it has been around for thousands of years, not a single dent or bit of wear has shown on it. I hear this armour gives the ruler the speed and movement of a dragon themselves. Sadly, though in the past this kingdom has grown very well, the people had a very bad ruler who oppessed them for a long while until he finally died. Now a new ruler takes the throne, and there are some murmmers of people who may not trust the age old system anymore...Dragon Legendaries protect and guide this land.
A Rumor
Well, that's all I have to tell you about the Kingdoms. But...though I'm sure this information is false and you are free to dismiss it...I feel I should tell you one more thing. There is a rumor, not even a true rumor but a rumor of a rumor, of a Legendary not with any of the rulers that travels the land, as if searching for something. I don't know if this is true or not, for nothing like this has ever been heard of before. Since, as I have told you, Legendaries here only go searching like that when they are seeking a new ruler...
In anycase, that's all I have to tell you, dear traveler. Good luck as you move about this land, you may need it.
Additional Info
"The Five Kingdoms" is a Pokemon RP where you play as a ruler of a kingdom with a Legendary Pokemon at your side, or this mysterious freelancer who also has a Legendary. This RP is pretty open ended, you can pretty much do whatever you want. Though there is an overall story for each person and some conflict to go along with it. I am the RP master and can control all of the NPCs along with throw situations at you. Don't worry, I'm not going to be evil and just throw one bad thing after another at you...yet. In anycase, rulers of the kingdoms can control anyone who lives in their kingdom, but not traveling merchants, doctors, musians, thieves etc. For the freelancer, it is the opposite, you can't control anyone who is with a kingdom, but those who travel the road. In fact, they seem quitie drawn to you...
The Legendaries
No matter what Legendary you chose, they can not fight in human vs human fights or Pokemon trainer battles. They can protect you from these fights, however. Though, each Legendary has a kind of Guardian with them, a fully evolved Pokemon that is the same type as they are. This Pokemon can fight in any kind of battle. If you want to get more Pokemon (they don't have to be the same type) then you will have to go out and 'recruit' them. This can be done by gaining their loyality or beating them into submisson. In either case, they must pledge their own loyality to your Legendary.
Also, a reminder of what type of Legendary each person can have:
Primoris- water types (including Articuno and Regice)
Secundis- flying types (including Shaymin)
Tertius- fire types (including Groundon)
Quartus- psychc types
Diapente- drargon types
Freelancer- any (excluding Arceus)
Important NPCs
Though this is a pretty open RP, and you can create and get rid of NPCs as you see fit, there are some NPCs that will be important for your story/conflict:
Primoris: Charles Icier- childhood best friend who can also wield the Nevermeltingice, commandard of your army.
Gwen Serlin- influencial lady of the court, is the most suspecious of the peasant's possible revolt and hording of Nevermeltingice.
The Chief- a mysterious person the peasants look up to, has thus only communicated through other people, telling the lords to share the Nevermeltingice they have.
Secundis: John Freewind- top engineer of the windmills. He has been in contact with you for a good while, but recently he has been more and more quiet.
Scareye- a sky pirate who has been causing the kingdom some distress for a while now.
Tertius: Don "Blouder Crusher" Nelson- A man trying to recruit people to raise against the current ruler, though this seems to just be because he wants to prove he can.
Sara "Fire Hands" Golding- the best smith in all of Tertius, likes to complain to you and insult you, but is also the most loyal.
Fumble Feet- the court jestor.
Quartus: Henry Handson- your second-in-command who has been showing some contempt towards you and your rule.
Igore Insinga- the brightest sicentist in all of the kingdom. Very eccentric, no one knows where his mind is, or even where he is half the time.
Diapente: Jean Willow- your advisor
Tyler Oak- Head judge of the kingdom
Alice- a simple maid you've been seeing around, but knows nothing about expect for her name.
Freelancer: Shadow- a very strange man in black who seems very interested in you.
