The land of Skaloris is dominated by barren, desolate landscapes. Tundras, moors, and mountains envelop its vast ranges. Such a cold, unforgiving climate would be thought to be uninhabitable, however in this land, that is not the case. One main kingdom resides in the mountains of Skaloris, led by a King. This kingdom is home to the Knights of the Adder, this snake being the king's sigil and an inhabitant of the moorland and mountains. However strong this force might be, the rebellion is just as strong. The opposition, known as the Rogue's Corps, is a group of ruthless soldiers led by the one holding the position of the Hetaya. Although these warriors are much more vicious, that diminish their deep spirituality. Having descended from an ancient tribe, the Rogue’s Corps believes in several higher powers, such as Ka, the Goddess of the wind, Ougtek, the God of the earth, Nix, the God of heat and fire, and Yrquin, the Goddess of water and the cold. These are just some of the many deities that the Rogue’s Corps worships.
Throughout Skaloris, there are also many strange creatures that can be found. Some are quite rare, like dragons and phoenixes. Others, like the Scrix, an arachnid, invertebrate lizard measuring two metres long when fully grown, are quite common.
A war is brewing. For centuries, the Knights of the Adder and the Rogue’s Corps have lived in isolation from each other. Now, as leadership turns, their solitude will be no more. War is coming, and when it does, the armies of Skaloris will be ready.
Rules
-No powerplaying/godmodding. Be realistic, and don’t kill or maim other players’ characters without permission.
-Try to use decent grammar when you can.
-Be respectful, and use common sense please.
-Be appropriate. Refrain from swearing, or posting about mature topics.
-This is a medieval style roleplay, so there are no guns, cars, or modern technology like that.
-Although this is a slightly fantastical roleplay, the only one with magical powers is the Hetaya of the Rogue’s Corps, and they have taken an oath only to use them to heal their people. The Hetaya’s powers only heal minor wounds, such as cuts and broken bones, and they can only be used in small amounts at a time. The Hetaya only has their powers while they are the Hetaya.
-You are allowed a total of six characters. Please don’t create all six in one allegiance.
-I reserve the right to ban anyone from the roleplay if they are not following these rules.
Very interesting - I will be considering joining this. However, you said that there could only be one of the underlined ranks, yet none of the ranks are underlined. Just thought you might want to fix that hastily.
Also, any chance we'll be getting more information about the land and its environment? Maps, perhaps, or a wiki with detailed information? These aren't necessary, of course, but I love to soak in all the information I can about a roleplay.
Well, best of luck, and you might see me around here some more in the near future!
I was thinking that the King's Advisors and the Advising Council would fill the positions of those ranks, so that the power is more evenly distributed.
The Hetaya's magic can be used for more than healing, however they have taken an oath never to use it for anything other than healing.
By the way, any one is free to create the King if they want to.
I look forward to seeing your applications! Here's mine:
Name- Aria Karatan
Gender- Female
Age- 17
Allegiance- Rogue's Corps
Rank- Hetaya
Description and History- At a young age, it had already been decided that Aria would be the future Hetaya. Confident, fearless, and not afraid to stand up for herself or her allies, Aria grew into a strong, independent Rogue of the Corps, gaining the respect of many, yet still remaining unafraid to rebel. Aria was raised by the Corps as a whole, never knowing who her biological parents were. She was recognized as an exceptional courageous member of the Corps at a very young age, and was seen as a perfect candidate to be the next Hetaya. Although she was fairly young, most of the Corps saw this as a benefit, meaning she would likely be able to rule for longer in good, youthful health. Aria is a skilled warrior, having learned to fight at a very young age. She uses the powers bestowed upon her as Hetaya very minimally, refusing to heal anyone who is not in immediate danger of death. Aria has always been quite rebellious, causing many to fear what she might do some day with her power. Aria was recently appointed Hetaya, after the sudden death of the former Hetaya, and has assumed her role confidently, unafraid to exercise command over her people. Aria has short, dark, reddish brown hair and green eyes. She usually wears the standard armour and clothing of the Corps.
Description and History: Brinlow was a very quiet child and usually never talked to anybody. As he grew older, Brinlow decided to become a knight because of his surprisingly good combat skills. His parents never cared about him as they had "More important" problems then to care of Brinlow.
Brinlow has been through very hard times, some of them he didn't even know happened. Brinlow has always obeyed orders some he wish he didn't obey. Brinlow has messy dirty blonde hair with crystal blue eyes, and wears thick iron armor with a large helm mostly colored red.
Brinlow looks great, accepted! I'll go create the IC thread right now. If it's not too much to ask, please put which kingdom you're posting in in bold at the top of each post, so that we don't get confused. Example:
Rogue's Corps
-Post here-
If you have one character in each kingdom, and you're posting in both in a single post, then just put both labels in their respective places. Example:
Rogue's Corps
-Post here-
Adder's Kingdom
-Post here-
You can call the kingdom whatever you want, it doesn't really have an official name. If you're alternating between the places in the post, then just do the same thing, but make sure you include the heading each time you switch. Thank you everyone!

Ah, sorry about that. I had to reset the formatting at one point, and I must have forgotten to underline those again. I'll fix that now.
I'm planning to make a map soon, I'll be sure to upload it when it's done.
I look forward to seeing if you join!
Seems nice. I'm planing on doing this. This is my first forum Roleplay but I seriously enjoy medieval themes!

Alright here's my app:

From what you have so far, he looks great, and he'd certainly be accepted.
It looks great, everything seems fine to me! You can start posting in the IC thread as soon as you want.
