This is to be my first Storybook, if you are interested after reading the advert, I plan to start it very soon, sometime this month. More details will be available then. You can PM me, post on my wall or reply to this if you have any questions.
The Ruby of Zoran: Concept
The story is set in the Kingdom of Nirjia, where the Summer days are short and the Winters long.
Humans and elfkind have been at conflict for 107 years because of a thievery. The conflict arose when the Ruby of Zoran--a gem stolen from the Humans' original land of Gesta to be used as a crown jewel for Zoran, the elven king of those times--went missing. The elves blamed the humans, the humans maintained their innocence and pointed the blame on the elves. Tension is still apparent between the two races although they co-exist in the same cities. Indeed, the present ruler, King Dauki, has recently been attempting to promote unity between the two races; in a landmark move he has recently allowed Zanam--mixtures of the two races who've long been treated as social outcasts--to live in cities. Due to a previous law, once they had reached the age of fifteen, they'd be sent out of whatever city they had been born in.
King Dauki's eldest son, Laridail, announces that he has discovered clues as to the location of the Ruby. But this is dismissed as nonsense by his father, and so Laridail denounces his own claims to avoid his father's displeasure. Yet he has many friends and connections, and so he makes it known amongst the locals of Adiel, Nirjia's capital city, that on the 107th anniversary of the Ruby's disappearance, he will give clues as to its location to any interested in finding it, under cover of darkness in the Ziras Fields. Many are interested in finding it for many reasons: some humans want to prove their race's innocence, while many elves wish to do the same. Even travellers have heard and have come from afar, for ever since the Ruby's disappearance a 50,000 gold piece reward has been up for its return.
You will be a member of a party who set out to find the Ruby, and will travel far and wide in its pursuit, making allies and enemies along the way. You will be free to direct your character as you like (although there is a general plot and rules on things such as magic). Interested?
