The War of the Red Legion

Peace. A loving quiet in the air as the warm sun beams down upon your head. Chirping birds taking straw from the roof of a nearby hut for their nest. Children giggling like a noisy brook where the villagers gather water. Peace had finally arrived in Irea.

It was a hard-won peace, with many never believing it possible. The powerful elves had finally granted their child race, the humans, independence with a signed treaty as they did the dwarves before them. With this treaty, they also liberated many of the minor races. Each elder race would now operate on its own with servitude only unto themselves.

Though as with any time of peace eventually comes complacency. Comfort. Rest has a way of enticing mortals, even the ones trusted with the watch. Especially the ones on the watch. After all, who deserves rest more than the heroes that keep evil at bay? So then, when war and death are far away, the soldiers will sit on their watch stool and drift off to happier times. As they fade away into peaceful slumber they miss the ominous shadows and silhouettes dancing past the treeline in the distance. Evil is never gone for long.

And so, beyond the watchful gaze of the "elder" races, wrath bubbled and brewed in secret. A deep evil planted its seed of hatred and malice in the fertile and malleable minds of the forgotten creatures of the world. After a time this mysterious force grew and grew, hidden from the protectors of Irea. Then hey struck where they could do the most damage. The northern capital of the war-weary Emerald and Gold Republic of the elves.



The enemy revealed themselves to be the wild races, which were previously thought to be so lacking in any discipline that they would be unable to organize and launch a joint offensive. Defying all previous knowledge of these races, The Red Legion marched on the elven lands in force. The elves lost much ground and had no choice but to reach out to the Embrein Empire of humans and the Dwarven Clans for aid.

For this is where we enter our story, at this tumultuous time. Not a time of peace. But a time of war. The War of the Red Legion.



This is a slow-paced writing-focused game and is already full of writing-focused characters. We look at the 5e rules as more of guidelines in favor of good clean writing fun. If either of those previous two sentences bothers you feel free to keep looking for a game elsewhere.

If neither of those stipulations bothers you (dare I say it they actually entice you) welcome! We're starting at level 6 and any and all published races/classes are welcome (non-homebrew races or classes). Come on over and submit an rtj!
