Hey all! Welcome to yet another attempt at an SB, this time with a cast between the small and huge ones I had those last two times ;D

Before we start, let me say this: The identity of our eighth player, the Sneak, will be kept secret. All posts made by the Sneak will be posted by myself to prevent the player from being outed. This is to keep tensions high among all of our players, as the Sneak can and will target anyone -- at first, anyone in the Adla, and then as they grow aware of our heroes, anyone there. The Sneak cannot be claimed; the position must be offered. It will be the only position that knows as much as the I, the DM, do about the story, as the player will know every hand.

This will probably be a slower SB, with posting order mostly determined by scenes and actions, and -- in the beginning, at least, before the Adla are a major player in the game -- you needn't worry, I'll be right there with all sorts of fun for our heroes. I do want this to be an SB where we explore character growth just as much as have rollicking high fantasy adventures with dark gods and magicks and the like, so please, when making your characters, make them in a way that they can change while facing their challenges!

Given time, probably on Thursday when I have a day off, I'll come up with a map of Alfthyrn for anyone who's curious. Eight players is the absolute maximum number of constant roles in this SB, but other positions and one-off roles will open up for anyone who wants to write them. ;D Let me know if you'd be interested!

Fear not, I'll work with y'all on the history and such of this world -- it's not so complex for the world inside Alfthyrn, but the world outside has been a little more chaotic, so my villains might need a helping hand.

With that said, welcome to the world of Alfthyrn -- are you seeking godhood, or merely seeking peace?

Sorry for taking so long to reply! @Dinosaur @Moonwatcher @TheCrimsonLady I'm adding you all on the claimed list on the first post!

I've had work these last two days so I haven't managed to get much done, but tomorrow I have off so I'll try to get up to date on the map.

A Quick Thing:

All of the names in Alfthyrn will be based off of Old English. If you're not sure how to figure out Old English stuff, I have a nifty translator for you to use! It's just a part of the world as it is, so please, go hog wild with naming your characters and such -- just make sure it's Old English. :P

@Lareine

I submitted my character! I'm not so sure about her name- according to the internet, it is Old English, but I'm not sure that's what you're looking for. Anything else that needs to be fixed (if there is anything), I can probably finish this weekend.

I would like to claim the Goblin spot.
Why do we capital-N Nerds love Mars so much?
Because it's beautiful, it's tough, it's buried in our mythic, childhood memories.
It's covered with human triumphs but also with sad stories of failure.

If you are, I'd like to reserve the spot for dwarf.
