So I've already got the group set up. I just don't have any fellow players
Anyways! I'll get right to it! Here is the synopsis:
Anyways! I'll get right to it! Here is the synopsis:
Verumadte, the only known educational institution still existing after the apocalyptic nuclear war, is where our story takes place. In a city with only three districts, a group of friends takes on the myth of a fourth district. They battle their government, the elements and their own doubt.
Males and females alike are welcome!
I know it's really short and not descriptive at all but here is some information to follow!
When Russia, Afghanistan, and the U.S. fought in World War III their short lived nuke war took out the entire northern hemisphere and large portions of the southern hemisphere, coating the majority of the world in ash, making it uninhabitable in most areas. Those that survived the war made their way to the most intact place in the world, a section of Central Africa. What is left of the living world has been resorted to a medieval state of sorts. Those in power refuse to allow the use of technology, meaning many of the medicines developed in the last few centuries are no longer available. They believe that the sin of modern technology caused the evil in the Former World (our world). The human race is nearly extinct thanks to human advances, or so they believe. That's not to say the Oligarchy does not wish for their people to flourish. In order to maintain an intelligent people and a society that is absent of poverty, the Council of Ministers established a city of education; Verumadte.
Verumadte is sectioned off into three separate districts; in the east there is Ego: The District of True Self, in the north there is Eros: The District of Males, and in the south there is Venus: The District of Females. Each district is made up of multiple houses, Ego being the largest. The city is home to about 6,000 people, most of which are students under the age of 20. Each House has one Headmaster or Headmistress who acts as the disciplinarian for the students in their care. They handpick one of their own students every 5-10 years who acts as their assistant, and whose last year of education must be in the House of Servers.
Any child who receives an education in Verumadte is considered a ward of the State, meaning their parents have no claim to them nor are they given leave to visit their parents. If a person or company wants to Reserve a student before the Distribution Ceremony they can pay a non-refundable sum of money to the Council of Verumadte.
The Distribution Ceremony takes place there in Verumadte. Those interested in Speaking for a Graduate may come themselves or send a servant to do so. Brides may NOT be chosen before hand nor may they be Reserved (the only exception to this is with the consent of the King or first born Prince).
If a student cannot fulfill their duties while in or after graduating from one of the Houses, they can be held as Bonds or sold as slaves.
Some slang you may need the definition to:

Council of Ministers: The group of men and women who establish the laws and over see the rulings of the King.
