~ Stillness ~
~ Forest of Forever-Winter ~
The northern kingdom of List is in a tizzy. A king assassinated, an army of the damned, and a plague hardly curable. What could it take to save this kingdom from collapsing? Perhaps a great hero. Perhaps a party of great heros. But even for the majority of adventurers, there is only so much you can do. Hunting a rabid wolf doesn't even compare to hunting a rogue sorcerer. But with danger and death ever present, the average everyday folk still need to live their lives. Living every moment in waking fear will get you nowhere.
As far north as you can go, there is an isolated village. Stillness. Stillness, lying right in the middle of the Forest of Forever-Winter is covered in snow, save a few weeks in the summer months. It is a small town, but has great value. It sits right next to a river, leading down to Horace, the economic hub of List. The village was established as an outpost for loggers. Ever since, they have continued this tradition. However, the harsh winter conditions prevent logging all year long. Many people who look to make their living with the logging money take leave half-way through the autumn. Stillness's population dwindles, and diminishes. Very few people stay, but those who do have set up permanent businesses to help them get by. The most famous business is the Stillness Lodge House. During the Spring and Summer, the Lodge House is a bustling and uproarious establishment, housing and feeding hundreds upon hundreds of loggers of all ages. During the Fall and Winter, however, the Lodge House provides a place for weary travelers who seek refuge from the cold. The proprietress is always happy to take in anyone who just wants warm fire, fresh sheets, and fresh coffee. Bards and performers stay a day or two. Adventurers bring life to the quiet inn with their stories of conquest and bravado.
This story is not of the grand heroes who slay the abhorrent monster. This simple story is of those who provide one small, but beloved service. This is the story of those who give leave to rest, here in the quiet town of Stillness
~~~
Perhaps not the most interesting of premises, but one that I would love to take part in. I want to focus on the small folk in a high fantasy DnD-esque setting. Adventurer's and the ilk are welcome, and expected, however do know that there will not be too much in the way of action. This RP will mostly focus on character relations with each other, and the environment. If you're interested, I'd love to hear from you.
