[fieldbox=Prologue, green, solid]A loud thundering sound rang out through the air, as the northern city wall came crumbling down. Trebuchet after trebuchet rained fire and stone upon the crumbling castle city. As they did, many a knight fought on against hordes of townspeople. The revolt had begun. Hundreds of settlements across the land, ruled by two sets of kings and queens, fought against one another, and against the knights of the castles, many with different views, and some with their own personal agendas. Bloodshed, orders, clashing steel, the stench of blood, sweat, and tears, filled the air as the fighting continued across the land of Svanoltia. Many fought against the secret working of the Church of Salvation, a church of people who had cleverly made their own fake religion up, in order to take money from the blind of faith.
"Push them back!" A Knight General yelled, "Do not let them advance! crush all who dare to so much as think of opposing us!" He said these words loudly, and they rang out across the battlefield of a destroyed city. As he clashed steel upon steel, townspeople surrounded and overwhelmed him, stabbing and chopping at his armor, wearing it down, until one lucky thrust of a sword, met the tender flesh underneath the armor. Blood spewed out as the sword was released from the prison of flesh, the General falling to the ground. Screams and yells echoed out through the city, as more and more fell to the blades of the Revolt.
A young woman rushed through the crowds of fighting, causing more than a few people, knights and civilians alike, to be struck down. This woman was of no more than her early teens, and had nothing more than a tank top and pants on, and rushed through the crowds with a sword in hand. The clashing of steel stopped her in her tracks at the great castle door, as she crossed blades with the Sword Goddess, General Eiko Marubeni. "You're Yukiyo Tokaji, the leader of such a fine rebellion?" The sinister general asked. Yuki said nothing, and an evil bloodlust filled her eyes, as she struck out against her foe.
Hours and hours of fighting, and both warriors were tired and worn from battle. The Sword Goddess attacked once more, before backing off into the castle. "We'll meet again. Let's not die before then." She said, and chuckled as the thick metal wall slammed to the ground, blocking the way into the castle. Most of the knights and townspeople had exhausted their power, or were dead. Yukiyo walked lazily away, back towards the northern wall, and upon making it just outside, collapsed from exhaustion.
The fire and flames littering the countryside looked as though an apocalypse was taking place. It almost looked as if holes to the Underworld itself were opening up and steaming. Yukiyo awoke in a field tent about the size of a tennis court. Many people were treating injuries and casualties. This is where the story begins. Many of the leaders of the land, as well as the kings and queens who rule over all, are corrupt, and deceiving the public, and it is up to all of the inhabitants of Svanoltia to move history along, in their own way. It is up to these individuals to forge their own path, to make a name of themselves, and how they decide to do it, is up to them.
Many will fall, many will surpass the limits of their physicals bodies, and be broke forever by the damage caused, but for those who can pass the trials and harshness of time and and remain standing, their resolve forging their path to success through the trench of deceit, lies, and opposition that awaits them, shall have a special place in the history books of the land of Svanoltia. It is up to these skilled entities to mold the future of a land of corruption..[/fieldbox]
This is intended to be a large-scale roleplay. Multiple characters are allowed, just not too many. I will update this post with all who are accepted, along with their characters' name(s). Among other things, this is a roleplay about the rebellion against a corrupt set of kings and queens. More to the point, it is about the people forging their own destiny in a time of chaos. A handfull of self-proclaimed warriors, doing what they do to get by, and progressing their own agendas further and further.

Rules:
All Iwaku rules apply, though we all already know it.
My rules are as follows.
1. No Godmodding or anything of the sort, except in a very, very, basic form. An example is setting someone else's character up for an attack you intend to perform in another turn.
2 Absolutely NOOOOOO killing another persons' character(s), unless they notify me of their acceptance of death. In other words, they must be okay with it, and they must let me know which is going to die.
3. Do not hold any romances between age groups, and do not control any characters that are underage, if you intend to set them in a relationship with another of your characters who is of age. This should go without saying, but it's for the extra emphasis.
4. Please plan out ALL collaborations with other players in things like Titanpad and such.
5. No one liners!!! I'd like to see long posts filled with two, three, or even four paragraphs of at least three or more sentences each, but I know I won't be able to keep that up for every post, and we all get blocked, and our minds clog up, leaving us unable to come up with a post that we feel is good enough. Please post as much as you can, and when your inspiration halted for the time being, just settle down, and rest your mind.
6. You don't have to post all the time, but a few posts a week to a few a day or two days, is preferred.
7. No reservations! You should know whether or not you have time to commit to this, or that you don't already have too much on your plate to be included.
I have my own things I'd like to see happen, so check all the time through posts to make sure you don't miss my intervening to set up a mass happening of events between people, and message me if you are unsure you are involved or not, or wish to be added to the happenings. I'd really like this to actually get somewhere, instead of being just another post to be forgotten and unused, so pretty please sign up if you like this, and give suggestions as to what could make this better.
Use ALL THAT APPLY and nothing more! Exclude everything irrelevant within the CS from your sign up entirely. This will help me read what you did fill in, and not have to worry about spots left unfilled. Again, only use what is relevant to your character. Delete any and all things you don't intend to answer from your post!
Svanoltia is a huge continent covered in many different varieties of biomes/regions. Deserts, forests, wetlands, and the like, just to name a few. The whole of the continent is the focus, which is why I'm wanting a larger number of players, with multiple characters, if they can handle them. Have any questions? Please post them, and I'll try my best to answer them.
You can start anywhere, though I suggest coming up with a plan for your character. Come up with their reason for being. Make sure it is something, that whether that character dies or not, will forever change the land. I don't want just those few players that are just there for the sake of being there. This needs dedicated players, not afraid to get too attached to characters that may end up dying, and not afraid to get their hands dirty in a little politic business, or mess with a few caravans travelling through the land..

City/Village/Town names you could use:
Goldport: The Rebels of Soderman: A splinter rebel group that does their own thing, and whose side goal is to surpass Yukiyo, and win the fight to take the crown for themselves.
Goldcliff
Northshore: Chamons Brothers: A large group of knights whose only goal is the eradication of any and all who would oppose the kings. You'll frequently be greeted by these guys.
Erimead: Reapers Rebels: A rebellious guild of thieves and pickpockets, largely uncaring of a huge war going on around them.
Redkeep: The Eagles of Redkeep: A group of exceptional warriors and bowmen, who want nothing more than to watch the world burn, as they make a name for themselves, and their village.
Lorston
Whiteviolet: The Whiteviolet Purge; An elite group of knights residing in Whiteviolet who wish to rid the world of necromancy, ritualistic praise and the undead.
Lormoor
Westerden: Bandits of Westerden: Just your standard group of bandits, with the exception of a few good fighters.
Brighthurst: Savages of Brighthurst: This land is largely hostile, and the occupants are nothing more than savages, killing anyone on sight.
Corkeep
Mithas Ithril: The Forsaken: A group of visionary assassins hellbent on the creation of a new world order.
Nepheline: The Ashen Revanchist: A group revolting against the king or overlord of Nepheline, Virulos the Dragonbane, whose main goal is to wipe out all dragonkin
.
Fallcourt: Fallcourt Mercenaries: A group of mercenaries, led by Yukiyo Tokaji, whose interests are many. But among them all, there is one that stands out. Their goal above all else, is to see the current Kings and Queens killed, and replaced with more competent, honest hearts. Unlike most mercenary groups, Fallcourt Mercs do not accept contracts. Rather, their members go on missions to complete whatever assignment must be done, usually in the form of peace making between groups, or killing anyone too hostile against their cause.
Ætheros, The Floating City
Himmelheim: home to the Merchants Guild, and Shipwrights Guild
