The Great Horsegiver Giscu-uru re-signing up for Loreos! I joined back in the Classic Castle days, but never actually participated other than my introductory post. I hereby re-swear my allegiance to Loreos! On the grasslands near the border with Lenfald lives the Skuda (literally: "Those Who Ride") peoples. They are a hardy nomadic horse people, and as such are looked down on by many of the noble Loreesi families who consider them little better than barbarians. This is not helped by many of the Skuda customs: living in felted yurts they have little use for stone buildings (excepting their religious temples); also they follow shamans who tell of the prominence of the "Lord of the Horizon" - a capricious Sky Father who watches over the Skuda people and demands animal sacrifices at his mountainside temples to keep contented. Unsurprisingly for a people whose livelihood is centred on horses, the leader of the Skuda is known as the "Great Horsegiver" - a title which the leader would be wise to take literally. The Skuda value horses above all else and will only follow a leader who is successful enough to give gifts of horses to his bondsmen. The Skuda do not follow primogeniture - on the death of one Great Horsegiver the next one is chosen from amongst the strongest of his bondsmen. Often this is the most successful Skuda general and his prominence is typically decided by the killing of the other candidates. The present Great Horsegiver of the Skuda is Giscu-uru (the suffix -uru denotes a Lord). Giscu-uru is a moderniser who wishes to raise the profile of the Skuda amongst the other Loreesi houses. As such, he wears more contemporary armour and uses the latest Loreesi equipment. He tries to encourage his bondsmen to equip their riders in a similar manner - and despite a combination of raiding and trade he is making slow progress with the conservative Skuda leaders. To integrate the backward Skuda into Loreesi culture Giscu-uru is constructing a great capital on the plains known as "Civus Skudae". Although the Skuda are scornful of walled cities and staying one place too long (for their herds of horses eat all the surrounding grass) Giscu-uru is slowly winning over his people to his very modern vision. Shown here is Giscu-uru (left) in his Loreesi armour and showing his steel broadsword accompanied by his standard-bearer Bajik (centre) and general Sabur-uru (right). Bajik and Sabur-uru are Giscu-uru's most trusted bondsmen and dress in the Skuda custom of a silk shirt, carry the curved cavalry swords which the Skuda are famous for, and ride painted horses denoting their high status.

Faction: Outlaw Name: Masyn Backstory:This is Masyn the volcanic rock. He, so far, has had a long, but uneventful, life. A short time ago Masyn was peacefully living in his home of over a thousand years, a volcano. Over the centuries this volcano had been steadily growing, until about a week after Masyn's 1011th birthday, when it erupted for the first time. In doing so it caused Masyn to be flung from his territory and into unfamiliar lands. Masyn had never given thought to the outside world, or its many inhabitants. However, after his unplanned flight he reconsidered. Masyn decided that returning to his home to spend more days sitting perfectly still, and listening to nothing, was a rather dismal idea. Instead he is going to enjoy spending a further one thousand years exploring this strange new country and its extremely odd creatures. All that is left for him to do, is figure out how to move again.

Faction: Garheim Name: Erland Stigandr Backstory: Erland can’t recall a life outside of the wilds of Garheim. When he was only an infant, his parents fled to the northern wilderness for reasons unknown to Erland. He had rarely questioned them regarding their past life, but the few times he did were met with stern reprimands to not worry about such things. The years spent growing up on the Great Driftplains have turned Erland into a seasoned hunter and survivalist. With his parents now passed on, he and his feathered hunting partner, Vidar, roam the Garhim wilderness together, but the discovery of lands to the west may soon call them away from their wintry home…

Name: Harold Gardener Gender: Male Species: Human Faction: LoreosProfile: Harold gardener was a member of a lesser-known nobility family, not aligned with any kingdom, as Harold grew up he joined a group of outlaws that attacked Lenfald supply lines, causing economic devastation to many small towns and villages. Lenfald forces were dispatched to destroy the raiders, and Harold was defeated separating him from his men. He then devoted himself to serving as a simple bard who played music to tavern crowds for food and drink, until he was no longer a wanted criminal, but Harold longed for a kingdom to serve, and so he rode to the Lenfald capitol in order to pledge his service, but he was turned away. Harold then gathered up a large army to rally under his name and prepared to fight a war in which he would be outnumbered over 5 to 1, but just before he marched his men into battle, he was stopped in a small seaside town by one of his old friends, who convinced him to pledge his forces to the province of Loreos. Harold then did this, then returned a week later to capture the port city for his kingdom in the hopes of turning it into a thriving trade powerhouse, which could be used to fund the army. Harold is a master tactician, talented in the musical arts, a passable swordsman, and invaluable at financial analysis.

Joining LOR! by Legojus, on Flickr
Name: Nox Gender: male Species: Exiled Elf Faction: Outlaws Nox was exiled from his Lenfald elf kingdom because of an incident he never talks about. Certainly has something to do with magic. He joined the Outlaws for acceptance travelling from region to region of the most mysterious and unknown places of the magic island and badlands. Sometimes he works as a personal investigator for those who need his services, sometimes he's on his own practicing alchemy, magic and identifying new species. The equality and the liberty of different races have always been important concerning to defend for him.

Post by The Brothers of Torith on Mar 6, 2017 19:02:18 GMT -8
Due to the recent passing of my character Sir Thomas of Torith (may he rest in peace) it is time to introduce his two brothers, For the Glory of Loreos!
Sir Jerick Of Torith (front, main character)
Jerick is a great warrior, a knight of Loreos and the oldest of three brothers, sons of Lord Yestin Bourgeois Duke of Torith Head Judge of the Courts of Torith. ( Background on the city: The city of Tortih was thought to exist long before to formation of the Kingdom or Loreos and its leadership has been passed down from father to son in the Bourgeois family. The city is located in a tropical zone in Northern Loreos (Might change need to look at a map) and is known for the large judicial compound in the center of the city along with its infamous Blackguard.) It is believed that Yestin was struck by a poisoned arrow while retaking the Royal Isles during Rowia's liberation from the witch Galanir, however, he did not succumb to his wounds during the battle and the poison left him ill and bedridden. Becuase of this Jerick took the mantle of Duke and Head Judge of Torith and ran the city in his father's absence alongside his brothers Thomas and Reynard. Weeks later Their father passed away and his dying wish was for the three brothers to divide the duties of Duke of Torith amongst themselves, Jerrick holds the mantle of Head Judge and handles the military responsibilities involved with the title of Duke. He works closely with the Black Guard and is often seen outside the walls of Torith, though is often reclusive when it comes to outside politics. Jerick stands for everything Torith represents, Justice, strength, fairness and Truth. Reynard Bourgeois of Torith (Back, secondary character)Reynard is the youngest of the three brothers and unlike his two eldest brothers was never knighted, instead of combat Reynard was more interested in politics and preferred to take out his opponents with more sophisticated and unconventional methods which would be deemed un-noble by the lowest of knights in Loreos. From birth his father, Yestin believed that he would one day become a great politician which is why he named his youngest son after the fox, a sly and deceptive creature which if presented the chance would rip out your throat. After his father's passing Reynard became the politician of Torith representing the city from afar, up until the recent passing of his brother Thomas which has caused Reynard to play it closer to home in order to help shoulder the work left behind by his deceased brother.May be subject to change

Post by Oscar Salty on Jul 25, 2017 23:32:24 GMT -8
Name: Oscar Salty Gender: Male Species: Human Faction: Outlaws Backstory: Oscar Salty is the leader of a small mercenary company. The company in recent years had to resort to becoming looters and thieves due to being unemployed. Even with all the conflict now, Oscars refuses to return to mercenary work. He believes it is a greater risk and less profitable than harassing defenceless farmers for their livestock and food. Oscar was raised by his parents until he was 8 when he was sent off to live with his uncle at his farm. His uncle was a military veteran and taught Oscar everything he knows about combat and tactics. Years later he moved on to forming the mercenary company alongside his uncle and younger brother Joseph. Their uncle's death is what caused the brothers to realize just how much danger they were true in, leading to becoming thieves.
