This is the information about the rp server I am getting going here soon, we haven't yet opened our doors in game so now is a great time to get in at ground level. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message! We have a discord server for people to post their character profiles and interact when unable to be in-game. I've had a few years of running an rp setting and will be crafting the story further once everyone is in the 'trial lands'.​


~ The Story ~​

You awaken lost, confused, and naked, but not alone. While you don't know where you are the three varying faces patiently giving you time to process seem friendly enough. Once you are on your feet the sole female among your watchers steps forward to offer out food, water, and clothing. She then proceeds to explain to you that you have woken in the lands of the three tribes, and while they can not tell you how you arrived here or how to get home all three promise to take care of you and give you a home among their people. You simply have to choose.

And thus you pick and follow your leader home to your tribe's lands where you are accepted as family almost immediately. You thrive, in your own way, here among these people from all throughout Earth's history. They clothe you, and you find your place in this world till ultimately you feel as much a family with your group as the one left behind in your original home.

But then came a day where your leader asked to speak with you, and you were informed that you had been chosen to represent the tribe in the next 'Grand Trial'. You and those chosen with you would be sent through the portal under Volsung's home tree to the trial lands. Once there, you and the others are tasked with fighting the lords of the lands. The first trial goer to return from completing the trial would be a hero to their people. An honor none had yet received as every previous trial goer had not returned, your new family is counting on you.

As you prepare to go your leader assures you that you are not being expected to do this alone, even if no other from your group had been chosen yet. Waiting for you on the other side of the portal was 'The Hunter', an asset of a man who when found would be a great help. You were tasked to find the man as soon as you could.

Then it was time to go. You and the others chosen from the other tribes gathered at the portal and sent through.​

~ The Leaders ~​

Skarde : Leader of the Volsung Tribe
A firm, stoic leader. He was born a Viking during the height of their raiding. His tribe follows a druidic style of life, living amongst the deep forests and working as one with the land. While he has given up the life of raiding what land the Volsung owns is fiercely protected and those of his people are taken as his blood siblings.

Mariana: Leader of the Edetani Tribe
A flourish of color and liveliness, this Spanish senorita once hid herself as a man to fight in the ring as a bull fighter. She is fire of self and her confidence will not be quenched, as such she pushes her people to be the best they can and reach heights previously thought unreachable. Her tribe sticks to the deserts and volcanic islands where they master the art of taming as the most adaptive of the three.

Temulen: Leader of the Oronar Tribe
As one of Khans greatest fighters, Temulen is an imposing warrior who leads his people from the front lines. What he and his warriors can not claim with their own hands will learn to not get in the way. From their snowy home along the mountain ridge, the Oronar are master hunters and often trade their tamed wolves to the other tribes.

Finn: The Hunter
A suave, energetic Aussie, this man knows his way around the trial lands from his years of living here alone. A biologist in his former life, he spent years working with large predators in the outback and sees these big lizards and other creatures here no different. If you need help, or want to know where a certain animal lives, you simply have to ask him.
~ Tribe Lands ~
The north is Oronar's vast snow covered lands where they use viking style long boats to cross the ocean between the main land and their many island outposts. Or soar on the backs of their majestic yet savage arctic gryphons.

The center of the island is Volsung territory, a lush jungle and vibrant plains. At the heart of their home forest lies the 'Mother Tree' a large redwood with a cave hidden among its roots. This cave is where the portal to the trial lands is.

To the south is the large desert of the Edetani, boasting a single volcano at it's lowest point. Here the tribe lives in the most beautiful oasis, unlike human eyes have ever seen before. From here the teams of tamers and traders set out in caravan style.
~ Politics ~
While there has never, to anyone's knowledge, been open war between the three tribes there has also never been true peace.

The small islands and vast coastlines around each group's territory have constantly been the scene of small conflicts over outposts being set up. These small 'raids' to remove these outposts typically do not result in the loss of life. As the leadership long ago implemented a 'duel' system where a chosen champion from each side would face off with each other in singular combat till one participant was forced to concede. To the tribe leader's belief, this saved needless death and was more 'civil' while still allowing each to protect their own.

Trade is lucrative and abundant, as there are materials and beasts found solely in one of the three lands. Traders from Edetani and Oronar often can be found at Mother Tree working with a representative from Volsung as the three sort their wares. These trade meets are and have always been open to the rest of each tribe to come and purchase what they need.

While time is hard to track in the Tribe lands as the seasons never changed. The three tribes still come together ever 300 days to have a great feast and celebration to 'bring in the new year'. This event is massive and gives each tribe a moment to shine. While it is hosted in Volsung's plain lands, which would be the only spot large enough for the fair grounds and many tents, there are beautiful beast riders from Edetani and weapon smiths from Oronar. Performances and exotic food are abundant as this one day a 'year' is where peace is absolute and the three tribes mingle freely.
~ The Rules ~
OOC Rules
1. Be nice and as active as possible, the story needs you to progress!
2. While PvP will be on there is a zero-tolerance of griefing, killing without warning, or harming another person's base or tames. PvP is being left on for those who would like to have friendly spars or progress their story in a way where a fight is needed.
3. An immersive taming mod is going to be implemented into the server, this is meant to be used ONLY for herbivores and omnivores as from a realistic standpoint throwing meat to a lion is not going to make it be your friend. If you are unsure if something can be tamed with this mod feel free to ask me. 4. Not everything in the game must be done 'ICly' and a person's position of IC or OOC should always be respected. Do not expect someone online to be in character and do not interfere with those IC when you are not. You also are not expected to have every little action be written ICly, go tame that beast OOCly and simply explain its acquisition ICly if someone asks later

IC Rules
1. Your character must come from a known era in earths history but their past is completely up to you. When, where, and who they were has no restrictions.
2. Living among your chosen tribe has built a natural distrust or even hate for the other tribes which were always seen as their worst features. Volsung for their isolation and tribal approach to survival, Edetani for their greed and manipulation, and Oronar for their bloodlust and general foul tempers. This is meant as a political facet of the roleplay and to give those from other tribes things to overcome during the trial. Even though these sterotypes have been set and you were taught to dislike and distrust those from the other tribes this does not mean you can not work past those things and build clans, friendships, or find love with your fellow trial goers.
3. There is no restrictions on weaponry or engrams. If you have the resources to make it then you are allowed to make it.
4. Each player will be starting with their tribes favored mount and saddle (spoiler it is a type of horse from one of the mods), and glamoured cloth armor to look like the armor of their people. Volsung will be hide, Edetani is the desert cloth, and Oronar fur. I will provide the dye if you would like to color the skins. You will also be told where to spawn in for the initial entrance.​
