You know how they say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? Yeah...
For two years, maybe three, I lose count, the world was dark. The sun was gone, and the land was a frozen barren wasteland. And then, lo and behold, the very sorcerer who caused that mess decided to fix it. Atone for his sins or something, I guess. And it worked, in a way.
Now, however, instead of freezing to death in a icy waste, we get to slowly wither away in an endless shifting desert. See, when Sight Foreson and Sol Valentine reignited the sun, they screwed up. It sort of bursted the world before stabilizing, scorching the land into a sandy hell.
Luckily enough, we, and you, stumbled across an oasis in our search for shelter. We've started rebuilding there. It'll be a nice town, one day. But for now, all we can do is keep cool and hope nothing else decides to rear it's ugly head...

Welcome to our humble little roleplaying server. I'm Eli and I'll be your guide. Mentioning oatmeal will help you get in. We're a semi-medieval semi-steampunk semi-apocalyptic jumble of a setting. Basically, if it fits in DnD, it'll fit well enough here.
RULES:
1.) Stay IC or In Character. Use brackets to denote OOC or Out of Character speech. Keep OOC to a minimum.
2.) No griefing, hacking, modding, cheating, powergaming, god modding, metagaming, having cybersex, or anything else that would make me bite my thumb at you.
3.) Please stay inside the city wall. It's cold and dark outside and you will probably be eaten by a Grue if you leave for long.
4.)Don't be Over Powered. Make a nice, simple, non-epic character.
5.) If you could stick to being an Elf, Human, or Dwarf, that would be lovely.
6.) No we won't OP you, no you can't be staff, please don't ask.
7.) Be civil. Don't be a jerk. We just want to have fun.
8.) Your skin needs to match your character and fit our theme as mentioned above.
9.) If we don't say you're accepted after a few days, it means you weren't. We did not miss your application. I'm sorry.
10.) Please only apply once with each character. If you wish to reapply, use a different character.

Born to a former pub keeper, he later joined the same profession, being lucky to have joined his father on the [Star]trek to the new town of Carpathia. While it stung to leave behind all he knew, he was quite grateful to leave the dull-town and head for somewhere new, and more importantly, safer. His father died on the trek however, leaving him alone for a small portion of the journey, and during this time he decided to do the one thing he knew once he got to this new town, Pubs. Also during this time he discovered the presence of untrained magic, manifest as a slightly higher tolerance to pain, and a force to push his muscles more beyond their limits, if only at the cost of extreme fatigue. He had plenty of time to decide on the name of the pub, and finally drew the final name "Fireside Pub"

After the death of everything he knew and loved, Ridgire started to wander and roam the land; alone. Sad. And angry. He eventually found the world of Betelgeuse, and made a home, and friends. But never were his emotions and feelings from his troubled past resolved, and so Ridgire, the wise and noble giant, suffers from a very short, extreme, and terrifying anger. This anger coupled with his mighty hammer, Legacy, augmented with a shard of the giants soul, makes Ridgire a worthy opponent, and a terrifying presence. Fast-forward to now. The cold, cold world. The dark world. He travelled for what felt like an eternity until he found the new town, the light in the darkness. The last vestige of safety and warmth in a dead world. But Ridgire's unresolved problems still trouble him, but now his anger is focused upon one man, and one man alone. Foreson.

Character Name - Aurum Cupio Character Age - 28 (Human) Character Backstory - Aurum Cupio; 'The Enterprising Businessman', 'The Respectable Wanderer', 'The Masterful Negotiator!'
Aurum's early life was... irregular to say the least. You see, he lived alone with his father a somewhat 'famous' travelling merchant, and together, they roamed across the known world searching for the best deals. But this adventurous childhood, was treacherous. Aurum struggled to maintain relationships, as it was uncommon for his father to return to settlements he had previously visited. This struggle was made infinitely more difficult when other children seemed to approach Aurum with an inherent bitterness that seemed so strange... As the years passed, Aurum grew into a talented businessman and seemed sure to surpass skill of his father, alas, these dreams seemed unlikely to come to fruition once the Gods started to die. It was during these uncertain times that Aurum's father became ill, and was forced to withdraw from the world of trade. In doing so, he called upon Aurum to continue his legacy, and take advantage of a world plunged into chaos through careful regulation of supply and demand. Aurum could not deny it was his duty... but he could not be sure whether it was right. Nevertheless, after sharing a final feast of oatmeal, saying final goodbyes, and donning a black coat, he stepped out into a fearful world. It was then that land was consumed by darkness.
