Everyone here is the Districts of which you can start at. At the end of our, prologue, you must be in Grim.
Rathen, a simple Middle-Class District that was once under rule of a tyrant faction. But now after the tyrant?s forceful removal, the District has been at peace, and now holds a no-faction policy so to not repeat the events of the past.
Amara, Upper Class District that has a trading agreement with Upper District. They supply protection and other goods, and Amara hands them Gold from their underground Gold Mine. Most of the time Amara can be open-doors, but with Upper District Protection, it is limited.
Middle District, the melting pot of the Middle Section. It is the home of many factions and is one of the most dangerous places to be in recent years. But trade also flourishes and it is easy to get caught up in the heat of things. Factions like Steel Hearts have stations here that constantly attack the gates to Upper District.
North Lian, before the City, Lian was a small city-state that was at constant civil-war. When they fled to the new world, the Northern Lian?s founded North Lian. Together with Minseoa, they both rose to Upper class without Upper District. Due to this, they have no ties with Upper District and keep trying to stay independent from any agreements with them.
Smo, a lower-class district that is full of bigots and is one of the worst places to go. It was founded by Anti-Mage families and they attempt to kill Mages that get either close to the District or in it. Thus this district is highly avoided. They do have some connections with Mage Hunters.
Tabulath, a Middle-Class District that has trade connections with Rathen and both benefit. Tabulath is renowned for its clothes making and kindness towards all who enter. Mage or not. While they don?t support Upper District, they make many of the Clothes for Grim and Amara.
Solomon, home of a small faction known as Sole Republic, who kills anyone who gets close.
Some VIP who is on someone?s hit list will go here to hide by making deals with the faction. Due to the rule of the faction, everyone in this district works for the faction.
New Uvea, Uvea was a village in the old world that was famous for its hot springs. So when they came to the City, they found a hill that went upwards that had underground water reserves that could be used to make Hot springs and thus their tradition continued. Many Mages come here to rest as the community sis similar to Tabulath as they don?t care who you?re.
Grim, an Upper-Class District that is home to various High Profile Mages, such as Itsuka Maen, or Red Itsuka. On top of that, it is the location of Tower of Di, which is the home of many politicians and the Court of Risenforth which is in collaboration with Upper District. While they do deal with political issues with the North, they are heavily biased towards the Upper District due to many, back hand deals.
Amara, Upper Class District that has a trading agreement with Upper District. They supply protection and other goods, and Amara hands them Gold from their underground Gold Mine. Most of the time Amara can be open-doors, but with Upper District Protection, it is limited.

Question. Does that mean that anyone not affliated with the Sole Republic will get killed? Or is that only rival factions?Korten12 said:
Anyone who isn't affliated with Sole Republic and also doesn't made a deal with them, will be killed.Isaac The Grape said:
Also Ditches..?
Order isn't maintained, that's just the thing. Each District usually has a local gov or is anarchy and very few of them acutally agree with one another. So there is usually conflicts between them.
There is both local adminstrations and factions that rule districts.
If still possible I would like to join. This is my first forum RP and I have not had a lot of expereince in it outsite a site called the Ninja RPG. I do have a character sheet in progress but I have a few questions. Is there like a hunter faction that fights the monsters from the underground caves? Is there magical items,e.g scrolls that hold spells or something along those lines, that non-magical people can use?
My character sheet. Please let me know your thoughts and if there is anything I have to change.

Name: Telnor Ghests.
Age: 27
Section: North.
Born:6240 C.D
Personality: Telnor is the kind of person to buy you a round of beer at the local bar just because he feels like it. He is easy to approach and is very outgoing. However, Telnor has very few people in the world that he cares about and is afraid of finding more due to losses in his past. He can get very emotional during tasks sometimes and that often causes him to underperform.
Faction: Ex- Beast Fighter, Contractor.
Looks <spoiler=label>
[http://media.photobucket.com/image/anime knight/HarnerHinata/Frost-2.gif?o=41][/spoiler]
Bio: Telnor was born in a district in the North but his family moved from district to district often due to his parent?s inability to settle down in one place. At the age of ten his Father and Mother split up due to his Mother wanting to settle down and his Father wanting to continue traveling. Telnor went with his Father who trained him in the basic use of a sword. At Fifteen Telnor?s father fell ill and despite Telnor?s best efforts to nurse him back to health, died. Telnor went searching for his mother and by 16 he had found here. He didn?t approach her when he saw her new family. Feeling slightly betrayed but also not wanting to ruin his mother?s happiness he left for the Middle. There he joined the Beast Fighter?s, a group that would track down wild animals underneath the city and put down any that got above ground. A man named Yilet took Telnor under his wing and trained him to better in his swordsmanship and tracking skills. By 23 Telnor had risen high enough in the guild to take his own apprentices. He took two. A pair of twins, the girl being Nicon and the boy called Sakne. A year after he took them as apprentices they were sent on a mission ,with Telnor leading the expedition of thirty, underground to wipe out a large group of bears. However, the mission took a turn for the worst and all but four Hunters were wiped out, including Nicon, Yilet and Telnor. Nicon vowed revenge on Telnor and left the group. Telnor also left, his confidence shaken in himself as a leader and trainer. A year later after much soul searching Telnor started working as what he called a Contractor. Taking on almost any job, from body guarding to killer to vegetable picking, he travelled the City from south to north. He had to hire an assistant, Rahg, to help him keep track of everything. He has even become good enough at what he does that people are starting to want to join him.
Equipment: Telnor carries around a long sword for combat most of the time. He also carries a bow to use as long rage but he is only moderately skilled with it. He also carries magic crystals that allow him to blind enemies and a minor healing crystal. Strapped to his ankles most of the time are two knifes for skinning and last resort combat. In a pouch he carries three pictures. One of his Mother, Father and him, one of him Yilet after his first kill in the Underground, and one of Nicon, Sakne and himself shortly after he took them as apprentices.
Skills: He has no magic but is skilled with a sword. He is moderately skilled with a bow. Telnor is also a good tracker and find people with some, but not a lot of, difficulty.
Abilities: At times Telnor can predict the movements of his oppenents but only if he concentractes really hard and only sometimes.[/spoiler]

Good. I just need to make sure since you're a new member. Do you often check the escapist? I just don't want you to join and then vanish.CrazyBlaze said:
Also do you have Skype? You don't need a mic or video chat. We just text chat over Skype, the whole group.
Yeah I check often. I didn't go on the forums often but I am starting to. I mainly just read the articles. I don't have skype but I can get it. Don't worry about me just vanishing, if I end up not having enough time or need to take a break due to school, exams, papers etc, I will let the group know and make sure there is a logical reason why my character is no longer there.
