''In the year 4E 292, disaster struck. Ataxia, usually just a simple ailment, mysteriously became both highly infectious and soon after deadly. It started in the Imperial City, using sea trade routes to spread to every province in Tamriel. Dozens died, then hundreds, then thousands and then millions. All except those in Riverwood. Alimano, a High Elf wizard who was staying there, managed to convince the villagers to build a wall around the village to stop the plague. It worked, and the plague never got to those inside.''

''   After 50 years of isolation, they finally ventured outside their walls to find the old world of Tamriel was gone, with everyone in it. The village expanded into a bustling town, with Alimano as its King. However, there have been rumours of another town to the south. You are a citizen of Riverwood, and you’ve been asked to investigate this settlement, if it exists, of course.''

All players start at Camp Guardian (located at the guardian stones).

Take this RP seriously. No messing around! If you find yourself bored, then write a flashback or a dream sequence and develop your character and if you can’t be bothered doing that, then go away and do something else for a bit.

You may block or dodge attacks but one in three must hit you. No ridiculously over powered super-spells: Anything that allows you to destroy powerful enemies in one hit or gives you a majorly unfair advantage over other players and NPCs will be considered over powered. You cannot destroy a building in one post: Depending on the building’s size; you must destroy it over the course of several posts. The only exception is during Flashbacks, dream sequences or during written plot pieces (over the course of a paragraph or two). ‘Fridge Magic’ is also considered a form of overpoweredness. Fridge Magic is spontaneous luck, which allows the player to avoid damage or consequence for their actions. It can be done accidentally, so it’s not treated as harshly, but please undo it if multiple people call you out on it or if the GM calls you out on it.
