Looking for new, dedicated story driven/character driven players.
BE advised this is an adult game, it's not a sex game..It's not an excuse to behave badly. It is a game with many adult themes violence, some gore and horror aspects.
( interested players may form romances, relationships seek wives/husbands if desired, but I a not looking for people who are interested solely in getting sweaty with pretty girls an handsome lads...sorry I am sure there is a game out there for you if that's all you want.)
It is the End of summer, and The Hold of Hahldwe Is soon to gather for the festival. The hard work of planting and herding is done for the year and the crops are full and healthy. Soon the hard work of harvest will be on the Village, and Holder Rhyn will visit to inspect the town and gather his Share of the years work.
The youths of the town enjoy a short period of leisure, only their chores and training under the master at arms break up lazy days of roaming the hills and forest, and swimming at the mill. Spirits are high and Mischief is expected with idle time available.
Players Roles:
Each character will play one of the youths of the village, old enough to be allowed to roam freely and find recreation as they see fit. Under the ever watchful eye of the village, and "The Mahda" (The Wise woman of the village, and priestess of the faith) Who has a sour disposition and dim view of youthful mischief.
But as the Elders said ages ago, "Summer does not last forever, and winter comes quickly." change will come, quietly hidden from view... What will change bring, no one ever knows....
