In this RP,  we explore the world as it may have turned out if Morgarath had won that fateful duel with Horace. The traitor won the battle that day, and is now systematically conquering Araluen. I have only read books 1-6 so forgive me if I miss a faction.

Rules: No Metagaming or Godmodding, no canon characters, no OP characters, you know, all the normal roleplaying rules.

Faction Status:

Araluen- The kingdom is weak but holding on. Banditry has become common since the troops normally keeping the peace are needed to fight.

Mountains of Rain and Night- Very Strong, allied with Skandia.

Skandia- Normal strength, allied with Mountains of Rain and Night. Skandian raiders still pillage coastal towns around the world, of course.

Gallica- The same chaotic state it usually is in.

Teutlandt- Honestly,we don't know really anything about this place. Let's assume it's like Gallica.

Arridi- Things are as normal for the Arridi.

Nihon Ja- Whatever state it is probably in at this point in time.

Scotti- The Scotti are doing there thing, but are raiding farther into Araluen than usual.

Temujai- They're probably prepping for the invasion of Skandia right now.

Please make your character according to this template that I am making mine with. I couldn't think of a term better than race, so sue me.

Name: Arahad

Age: 21

Race: Half Araluen, half Arridi.

Weapons: Bastard sword made of a unique steel with a slight orange tinge to it. Warbow  (bow smaller than a longbow but still very powerful) made with Araluen techniques. A bandolier with 5 throwing knives on it.

Armor: Coat of plates. It looks like the Dawnguard Heavy Armor from skyrim. He doesn't have the helmet.

Skills: Excellent with swords and bows, as well as the throwing knives. Good tracker, and can cook. He can try to talk himself out of bad situations if he must.

Backstory: Arahad was the child of a nomad and a settled woman. His father wandered much farther than most did in their lives, and had had a son with an Araluen woman. He was gone by the time he was 2 years old. When he turned 16, he set out to become a mercenary, wandering the lands, looking for work. Years of fighting have made him a seasoned veteran. One day, when he was walking through the woods, he stumbled-literally- into a cave with a sword thrust into a stone engraved with the words "Whomever shall remove this blade from this stone, shall halt the spreading darkness. Through many battles and many wars he hath come, but still will be good hearted." Those words practically embodied Arahad's life. More so after he pulled out the sword. Ever since, he has kept an eye out for 'spreading darkness' in case the prophecy is true. Now, he has returned to his hometown of Castle Araluen's village...
