Come join our deadly game of politics, power, and espionage

Welcome to the Saxon / Viking (Norse) era. Become the Shield Maiden/Warrior/Knight/Monk/Bar-wrench you always wished...join our small group of writers and begin your adventure.

Our Norse just arrived (heading into the evening of the second day), the Saxon's are plotting their next move, and by plotting they have a constable formulating his attack.

The game has need for all characters, Warriors, Shield Maidens, Lords, Ladies, Bakers, Farmers, and Candlestick makers.

Consider this a historic type of slice of life, RP game. It is free-form and all we ask is the you read the rules, be kind to your fellow writers, and enjoy yourself.

Don't hesitate to PM me for more details.

*Note this is an Adult Rated game and as such must meet site requirements.

The Rightful ones

This is a medieval loosely based historical free-form adult RPG. The plot surrounds two Kingdoms one fighting for its right to claim and forge a new life in (and on) new lands and the other trying to keep its control, keep its lands and be free from raids.

The game will focus on the people; the royal family, nobles, military (Knights), and common folks for the Saxons people and the newly crowned Jarl, his warriors, and the Norse people who followed their Jarl to this new land to prosper. Stories will focus on the period and conflict on various levels from individual conflicts to wars between kingdoms.

In this game, it will chronicle the reign of both the Saxons and and the Norse (Northman), the people surrounding them and the choices they make with the consequences of those choices.

The Rightful Ones, is a twist on history and the what-if's stories as it plays out and the Saxon's eventual collapse to the Norse.

Now prepare yourself for an adventure in history as you begin to write your story!

The soon to be appointed chieftain/Jarl of the Norse (northman/Vikings), Erland, must merge his clan with the locals and build a village of his own. If he can succeed his name will forever be remembered in the rune-stones. Erland sailed his ships west as the seer advised with many talks of treasure, prosperous lands, and climate weather; the Norse are ready to start life in this new land.

While the Saxon’s fear these savages and try to repel them at first it soon becomes clear they are not Viking's and they aren’t leaving. And what better way to protect their fertile lands then by befriending the enemy.

Can the Saxons learn to trust the Norse clan now looking to call their land home? Will the Norse use their trade savvy ways to earn the trust of the locals or will they violently take over the land?

Come step into history and tell your characters tale.

********************************************************************

THE BACKSTORY (not the main story line but the back drop)

The daughter of the Saxon King and a Scots warrior has been paired to marry, both have just found out. Her father (the Saxon King) negotiated a betrothal to the prominent figure of the Scots clan (not part of the Norse that arrived on his shores) for a hope of truce - an alliance - though her brother (Olis) is opposed, he is soon to become King of the Saxon's, Olis (the brother) imprisons his sister in the Tower of Blackwaters, and the Viking/Norse Warrior gets word via her handmaiden/spy as to what truly happened to her and he sets a course to free her.

In the meantime, the Norse clan headed by Jarl Erland tries to seek a peace but the Saxon's are very distrustful and rightfully so. Their goal (the Norse) is land, trade but with the world in fear of the next Viking Raids the Saxon's are leery of trusting the new arrivals.

Unbeknownst to both King and Scots Chieftain who has the Saxon princess hand in marriage, the Princess has formed a relationship with one of the Norse clan’s men who arrived on their shores. Although the two are vastly different they found happiness which is ruined when her betrothed come to the “rescue” her. Will she be forced to marry this Scots warrior? If she suffers though the marriage will she continue her affair with her lover? Olis, her brother eventually declares war against Norse who have arrived. Once he succeeds the throne under dubious events that is. Treaties be damned as tensions over the last few years has risen and in a very public denouncing he burns effigy made of straw in the figure of the Jarl who threatens his shores. He has plans into effect to bring his sister lover to justice and publicly punish both of them (his sister and her lover) and show his control.

Olis had been secretly working with the other northern allies over the years to form a great army to crush the enemy on his shores.

Tensions run deep. One snap of a twig can set off the bloodshed.

There isn’t right or wrong...or bad or good...

The espionage and treachery run deep……this is where our story begins...

Viking lore contains the wisdom of a legendary, knowledgeable people, that for most of us, conjure visions of war, raids, adventure, and conquest. Unholy people of savagery. Nothing could be further from the truth.

No one will deny they were relentless warriors, and a considerable force to be reckoned with, but sadly the Viking people’s wisdom and wit often go overlooked. Experience breeds knowledge, and these brave souls had no shortage of exploits from which to draw important life lessons.

So come raise your sword with a mighty force and let the truth be told of the Vikings.

Or maybe you feel the courage and strength of the Saxon's is overlooked certainly history hasn't, or should I say lore hasn't depicted them as warriors. But, they were.

Come join us in telling to tale of your character, explore a part of history and relive it here.

Did you ever wish you could just let yourself get lost in history and feel what it might have been like to be a part of it all?

If you answered yes, then please come join our small group of players and writers as we rewrite history and create the what-if you always wanted.....

“For in prosperity a man is often puffed up with pride, whereas tribulations chasten and humble him through suffering and sorrow. In the midst of prosperity the mind is elated, and in prosperity a man forgets himself; in hardship he is forced to reflect on himself, even though he be unwilling. In prosperity a man often destroys the good he has done; amidst difficulties he often repairs what he long since did in the way of wickedness.”

Hatred can turn Fenrir the Little pup into the God of Destruction. If you've hurt someone either accidentally or intentionally, be cautious because they might hurt you back. It is not about hatred. It is about your wisdom to carefully protect yourself.

Warriors are not always the fastest or strongest men. Strength and speed can be developed through training. Warriors are those who choose to stand between their enemy and all that he loves or holds sacred.

We are still open for new players. And we are open to listening to your ideas on a character, nothing is absolute as each player will be able to create their own story and the main one while the overall outcome is our base all things leading to it are open. We would love more everyday type heroes, the servants, the baker, the wise woman of the village, brew-master, etc. we are looking for all types to create the town/village.

We hope to see you!

Come and get caught up in a deadly game of politics, power, and espionage. Suddenly, simple contracts of marriage can become a deadly happenstance. Strange things are happening on the shores of our Saxon Kingdom, the King is rushing back to his lands, the prince sent to the north to gain favor with a King in the lands we now call Scotland. The Princess finds herself in a compromised position. The Jarl is torn in his decision to make peace or move forward and fight. But his Norse clansmen are coming together and they are ready to defend their newly taken lands to the death if necessary.

As forces for both King Edgar and the Norse Jarl Erland build towards a battle that will decide the future of the world as we know it today, our everyday characters try to survive.

Come and join a world where the politics of rival men vying for control can and will alter the fortunes of nations not yet born.

Fear not death for the hour of your doom is set and none may escape it.

The war of Gods is stirring...a Kingdom holding fast to the new ways another forcing itself upon the lands with the old ways. Cultures have collided and as our players move IG they are building alliances and forging the future outcome so do not delay come and join us and be a part of the story.

Our Norse lust for a greater prize it is said among the Runes... It is the one prize that can never be lost or stolen. For the Norse Warrior there is something more valuable than silver. That thing is legacy; for his legacy is the saga that the Viking Warrior or Shieldmaiden leaves behind when he or she dies.

We ask you to join us and create your legacy........

Become a part of the adsorbing world of the early ninth-century. We have a great leader who is trying to the bridge the differences between the Norse beliefs and the Christians. He has forces planning to stop it before his ideas can even take root. Our Norse planning their defenses as the Saxons plan to repeal the heathens. Each step brings us closer to the boiling point, who will make the first move? Come find out and be apart of the conflict.

Here is a chance to join in on a game that will let you role play the life of your character, and who will it be? That is up to you. So is your character an ingenious military strategist, a cunning politician, or a devout believer who endeavors to secure the survival of Christianity in the West.

Or does your character believe in the old ways, the pagan traditions? Will your spiritual force be enough to fight off the looming Western Christendom? Will the Gods protect our Norse and help them forge these Western lands back to the old Gods but this time under one ruler? Is our Jarl strong enough to accomplish this goal?

***************

We all have a story tell and this is your chance to share and enter a medieval setting and begin telling yours.

Hoarr the Norsemen who has taken it upon himself to aid in the downfall of the Saxon lordship threatening the new viking settlement. To do this he has stolen the trinkets special to two noblewomen, one princess and the other one of her handmaidens, using these to go about his slow and meticulous molding and breaking of them to the rightful side of the Norse people. To keep and to care for, as his thralls under his roof. Offering the future protection of their families in exchange for this.

I, as Hoarr, along with the player of the noblewoman wish to offer up a place for anyone wishing to take a place in this growing plot. A place for a Saxon woman to see the only way to survive the coming war is to trust in this man and accept this.

We are about to start a new day on 2/1/2020, here is a small recap of the game come check us out:

Saxon's - Funeral and blessings of the graves will be held in the morning and then from there the Queen is hosting a sort of jubilee, to bring the kingdom together in unity. There are rumors about the village that a Viking had been captured and is being held, a guard told this person, who told another, and another... The royal family will be sending a gift -ahem- message to the Vikings so be warned at the Norse camp in the morning hours you will receive this -ahem- gift/message. The King is about a day away from returning with his full forces as his son Prince Olis is securing alliances with another Kingdom.

Norsemen - Your healer, Tam is held captive by morning the news will be known throughout the camp. A party will be assembled to rescue him. Fortifications of defensive actions are under way, as is the building of Norse homes, farms are being planned, and more of the clan arrives soon, sons, daughters, friends, loved ones are bound for the shores to make a new home. One Norse has spies in the castle, tracking the Saxon's every move.

We are in need an apprentice blacksmith for the Norse, as we are in need of a female character of either Norse of Saxon blood who is willing to play a servant/thrall as part. We need a Norse carpenter/boat builder, a seer or anything you wish to try your hand at.

As for the Saxton's - we could use more everyday type characters, farmers, stable-master, groomsmen, Castle staff, King's Council members, lords, or ladies.

There is room for all so do come and join us.
