Seven people from all over received envelopes that only they could open with crossbones on them. As they banded together, they headed on a journey to where each of their letters read as a puzzle to where they would go to "change or save the world." As far as that much we know, the details are unknown. Except for that five of them had died earlier on, and the last two died during the [i]beginning of the Dark Age[/i]. Rumor has it that on that day, a dark cloud spread over the sky and began to consume half of the continent and suddenly vanished before their eyes. A plague was spread and many of the occupants on the east coast were contaminated and passed away and some were killed by the explosion. This left most of the land's vegetation to die and the fact that it was as if someone had covered it with a veil in which no sunlight that has ever fallen on half of the country since. Most of the east (besides the islands which escaped the contamination). There is also a myth that many people do not know about the cloud stating a woman had fallen in love with a man who was from an enemy country and had hopes of the prize granting her the wish to be with him forever. With her other companions gone and scared of losing her chance at true love, she murdered one of the last living companions in his sleep and ran away with her lover. She had got the "prize" but her heart was impure and it rejected and consumed her. Her lover had tried to protect her, but as he touched her he died instantly. Mourning with grief at her foolishness and watching the cloud disperse into the atmosphere, she committed suicide to stop it from draining her energy. However, this could simply all be another myth. There are many different stories that are told of it, which one could be true? [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/PurpleFire/geo.jpg[/IMG] The continent of Caldroth is seperated by a crooked line of difference between light and dark in which half of it was contaminated so that no sunlight ever touches part of the land. That part is simply called Shadow territory and the other is called Light. Below is a list of some reference towns, you may use your own if you like, that is also optional. [CENTER] [SIZE=4][b]Shadow Territory[/b][/SIZE][/CENTER] [LEFT] [b]Barktu[/b] : A village outside the port of Crimson Ale, that was one of the first to be contaminated by the first revolution. It survived however, and many descended from the ancestors who lived there before continue on living there. It is one of the oldest remaining towns. [b]Korkine[/b] : The capital city that is dirty but busy with people. Probably one of the most military based and prominant cities in the shadow territory. [b]Ashere[/b] : A town that is used to trade items and is home to many artisans who trade goods from Barktu and mostly to soldiers in Korkine. [/LEFT] [CENTER][SIZE=4][b]Light Territory[/b][/SIZE][/CENTER] [LEFT] [b]Belladure[/b] : A religious town that is located near the capital city but holds great importance. It is a sanctuary for both light and shadow people and has been a resting place for those in need. [b]Taliara[/b] : The capital city for light in which is a military stronghold and also has many trade opportunities. [b]Sharanell[/b] : Named after one of the participants in the last revolution who everyone has long forgotten, it remains in ruins as a once bustling trade city and now a very small town.[/LEFT] [CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/PurpleFire/FAQ.jpg[/IMG] [/CENTER] Here I will anwser any questions people may have, and a few of my own. [b]Aren't you just copying the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena?[/b] Actually no I didn't even really think of it at the time when I made this RPG. I do respect the artist for that particular anime though and tried to find another word other then 'revolution' but it seemed to suit it so well. Actually the plot is much different from that anime, as similar as they may seem. [b]This is kind of cliche isn't it? What is with the bad graphics and music?[/b] I might not make the most attractive graphics, but I think they are pretty good considering I'm using an old version of Paint Shop Pro. I wanted it really simple. As for cliche', I think my idea may sound like it but I'm thinking of putting a lot of twists into it. I had fun coming up with it. As for the music, I always just think it adds a nice touch. You can turn it off near the bottom if you like. [b]If sunlight never reaches shadow territory then does nightfall ever happen in light?[/b] Ironically, it should be that way but it isn't. "Shadow" was created by contamination and the first revolution, so it was more of a mistake. Light is how the world use to be before the first revolution. I hope that makes sense. [b]Where can I find out more information about the World of Caldroth?[/b] If you feel you need to know more besides the information given in the underground thread feel free to ask me questions below especially if you are confused about anything or even the sign up.

I'm just waiting on Pumpkin to update his F.A.Q. with the questions I asked.[/QUOTE][SIZE=1]Sorry it took me awhile Deathjet. I will be sure to anwser your questions, oh and by the way I'm a girl. Just thought I'd let you know that. If you have any more questions, feel free to post them here. [b]Are you required to have an alliance, or can you be neutral?[/b] Actually I haven't thought much of that possiblity, my guess would be you would have to be born from one of the areas (since there is no [i]known[/i] "land" in the middle of the continent of Caldroth supposedly) and while your birth place might be Shadow, you [u]can[/u] remain neutral. This means you might have a bit of trouble with getting along with people on both sides. Good luck. [b]Are you required to be from the Caldroth continent? I'm aware that the letters were sent across the continent exclusively.[/b] Yes you are required to be from the Caldroth continent. As far as we know, that is the only place you could be. Ahem....Well....uhh...I don't know if I'm allowed to anwser where the letters came from...else I would be giving a bit too much away? As far as that goes, that will remain a mystery until the RPG carrys on. I can say that you are very close to revealing some of the secrets. Still, great question, I'd love more of these. *grin* [b]What is the approximate time frame? You said it wasn't just a medieval theme, but from there you were pretty vague.[/b] Caldroth is it's own seperate world mixed with eras from a different time in mostly our past. So mostly, I mean your character can range from a different number of things from like a samurai-type of character to a cowboy. It's best to make your character different, they could even be as simple as a baker that worked in a bread shop. The options are yours as long as you don't make your character a ninja turtle or robot. [b]Is this continuing from another R.P.; the first revolution perhaps? If so, do you have the link so I can a better idea of how this'll play through?[/b] Actually no, this is the first RPG. Think of Star Wars, the last ones came out first and then they made a prelude. I was hoping that if this one went well enough, we could do the First Revolution but thats if things go according to plan.
