Spoiler: Map of Ven Collsus (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: World Fluff (click to show/hide)

Ven Collsus Almanac; Year 50 CG by Tetheros Valoshi of the Kingdom of Vernin:

"Hello and welcome friends both new and old! Its that time of the year again, where the good Verninian Tetheros Valoishi (that's me!) shows us all the intrigue and wonder in what is truly the hot spot of our fair Ven Collsus, Vernin!

"Now, some of you may wonder at the year but let it be a mystery no more! It marks a dark time in our shining beacon that is Vernin, the time when the wrathful and sinful Grednars called upon the demons who prey on all pious who pray to the Grand Craftsman, turning their land fetid and their people of decay and rot! Truly a dark time, many brave souls were lost on that horrid night.

"But let's not speak of that, for it will only be a matter of time before their 'republic' falls like the group of greedy merchants they are. For there are much brighter stars to look at tonight..."

Historic Compendium; Vol V by Gerard Mattik of the Republic of Grednar:

"...So ends the year 1023 NA, the years of the New Arrival marking the time our ancestors first stepped forth on these lands so long ago. The year of 1023 was not brief, nor without note as many events that will surely shape the face of Ven Collsus have taken place. Birth of the Republic of Grednar, the dark night from which we won our freedom from the Kingdom of Vernin, and a hopeful look into the future as to what awaits the fledgling nation.

"So did we look to the future as the years to follow have been of beneficial trade and an, if tense, peace to follow."

Ven Collsus "New Hope"

A continent of many different views and people, home to the six nations of man: the prosperous Vernin Kingdom, mercantile Republic of Grednar, massive Empire of Tavo, the newly established Free Tavo, the knowledgeable Calsif, and the divided Uxanin. While there is a peace, many question for how long and what will tip the scales, for even in times of peace there are those who sharpen their blades and peer at their borders.

The Grand Craftsman

The Grand Craftsman is the primary religion of Ven Collsus, the belief that the world itself one of the Grand Craftsman's many creations. They say that the Grand Craftsman made humanity after his own likeness, granting them each the ability to create as he does. As such, the importance of crafting is placed high by many, with the priests of the religion often themselves being the smiths and craftsmen of a town. For to build is to be closer to the Grand Craftsman.

The tenets of the Grand Craftsman are many and varied, but of the most important is this: every item created of sufficient artistry would have crafted in itself a soul, a spirit that takes on the tone of its crafter and is then further refined and made into shape by its wielder. It is how humanity has its soul, and even how the world itself is alive and well for it was given its soul as humanity is able to give unto its own creations.

Despite whether or not that is true, the world does seem to operate on a certain standard of crafted items having a sense of autonomy. Such items can only be Given, except by those who know the Art of Taking. To take something without the Art of Taking, one will find it useless to them, as if the object itself rejects its use by any other than its owner, even after death. Those who have the Art of Taking are both disliked and liked for their pragmatic talent, one able to force permission from a user.

But to most, this is merely life, a blessing and a curse as normal as breathing and stubbing one's toe.

LORE ABOUT THE NATIONS HERE

Who Are We?

Well, who are you indeed. Are you freedom fighters in Free Tavo? Foreign nobles from the Tavo Empire? Citizens and mages from the gigantic city of Calsif? Hopeful heroes from the Kingdom of Vernin, or perhaps the cursed from the Republic of Grednar?

Are you fighting for freedom, wealth, fame?

That is for you to decide.

        (of any kind), if they have leftover move they may use it to move as per the canto ability. This may allow them to trade after
        their action.

        called the shield's durability. The shield is static, once placed it may not move. Allies may enter and leave freely. Attacks

        - Able to select 1 E rank weapon of a category you have proficiency in to start with.
        - Must put forth three background sentences, three beliefs, and three goals. This step is very important, so put some thought into it. It will alter how things will go.

Spoiler: Combat/Miscellaneous Rule Changes (click to show/hide)

-Combat Changes:
        - A unit may use an item on an adjacent allied unit.
        - Units with a staff or performance 'weapon' may swap to a usable weapon of their choice when assaulted (except unarmed), the swap only takes place for the duration of the assault.
        - Critical hits play out as they did in 1.20
        - A player unit has three "Wound" points, and each time they get brought up from being downed they lose a point, this stops at zero. They may be downed for a total number of rounds equal to
        their "Wound" point upon being downed, to a minimum of one round. They gain an additional point for every five CON. This resets every map.

- Miscellaneous Changes:
        - Supports and Terrain give RES in addition to DEF, and MAG in addition to STR if applicable.
        - Items may be unstacked and restacked as pleased, but only if it could be stacked in the first place.
        - Trading: Each unit may initiate only one trade before their action (note action is divorced from move). If the unit can canto, they may instead trade after their action.
        - Repairing: When in town (or with the right skill), pay (Original Item Cost * x% of QL Missing). There is a (31-Luck)% chance of it still repairing the item, but removing 10%[Ceiling] max QL. If
        the weapon is has zero QL, it costs x2 the original cost to fix. If the weapon gained a Max QL of 0, its beyond normal repair. People say though that there is powerful magic that can mend any
        blade anew.
        - Reforging: When in town, take a weapon you already own and pay 2x times the cost of the item you wish to reforge it into (provided said item is available for sale in town). This must be a
        weapon of the same category and subcategory as the weapon to be reforged. The weapon is turned into said weapon, keeping any familiarity gained from use of the weapon. The percentage of
        lost Max QL from repairs is applied to the new weapon, with a minimum of one lost Max QL. There is a (31-Luck)% chance of it losing 10%[Ceiling] max QL from the reforging process.
        - Shoving: You may push an adjacent friendly unit one square (in the opposite direction you're next to them) if your AID is greater than their CON, and there is no defensive terrain or
        inaccessible terrain there. This counts as an action.
        - Swap/Shuffle: Two adjacent allied units may swap places if both consent to the swap. This uses both of their move for the turn.
        - A unit has a base inventory space of 4. Every 5 CON, they gain an additional inventory space.
        -- When a unit is mounted, they instead gain an additional inventory space every 5 WGT. When they dismount, any items that can't fit in the inventory is left with the mount.

IamanElfCollaborator: Elessa Collier: Troubadour > Holy Guard
Calsif sends the occasional ambassador an in attempt to quell the constant fighting in Uxanin, a typically futile affair that usually results in crossing the country side all over Uxanin to try and deal with their burdensome and arcane bureaucracy. Still, it isn't that bad if one doesn't mind traveling and talking with bureaucrats, which seemed to suit Elessa. Who knows, perhaps she'll get somewhere where the others had not.
 
GiglameshDispair: Mercury: Knight >
Having returned home from her stay in Gregnar, Mercury set up shop quickly and was soon known for her startling accuracy with her visions and examinations of the future. Yet little could be found as to why, and while profitable she found her views often at ends with her fellow Uxanin. Most didn't question when she quickly shut down her venture and took it on the road with a few blades to protect herself.

Melissa: Madelyn Branstein: Wyvern Rider >
Sent on a mission with her fellow scouts, Madelyn was sent on strange orders to run an investigation in Uxanin by Vernin. Spread throughout the country and flying neutral colors, they ferry messages to one another by letter or hand, with a rotation for one to head back home and report the communal findings.

[Swordstar]

Oh I'm soooooooooo in. Merc---> Commander. Sheet will come later once I figure out backstory and such.

[Haspen]

PTW. Dunno if apply... I have no character idea, mug or backstory in mind.

[Xanmyral]

Dun worry. I'm giving, like, a week before I officially take characters to give people time to read, make their sheets and stuff. I wanted this as surprise.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

.....
How would some skrublord like me go about joining one of these?

[Swordstar]

Same way everyone else does. Download the book, make a character sheet, hope you'll be accepted and be committed to serious RP, battle planning, and risking death, etc. It's fun times!

[IamanElfCollaborator]

committed to serious RP

well crap

Eh. I might join this one. Give me a day to decide.

[F.O.E.]

I am so in as soon as I can come up with a character concept. Might go tactician if the Brawler character skill has been axed.

[Swordstar]

Yeah, I know that Xan's planning on being pretty selective and such on backstories and such because the plot depends a lot on them and also cause his world is a very specific type of weird which makes things fitting into lore interesting.

ANYWAYS IT IS FAR PAST SLEEP TIME.

* Swordstar scampers

[Powder Miner]

AND I WAS DOUBTING YOU LITERALLY YESTERDAY
I'll, uh
I'll go Soldier-->Sentinel

[Twinwolf]

I'm going to try to join this. Probably Archer Trainee > Bow Knight > Ranger, or something off the Fighter Trainee line, which one depending on backstory.

Edit: Or if nobody else makes a healer, that.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

If I do join, I'll probably do a Cleric or equivalent, so there you have it.

[Caellath]

I poked you into getting it started, of course I'm joining.

[Powder Miner]

o-ho-hoooo
I read those gameplay changes: that Wound point addition will make things VERY interesting, huh?

[Tiruin]

>_>
<.<

* Tiruin whispers 'Myrmidon > Samurai' plans BUT HAS EXAM WEEK AT THE MOMENT so she expects to be put on the 'You get in later Chapters' list ._.
