A continuation of One-Word Story. We are starting with a new story, only this time I want to add a new characteristic to this game. I am going to give a "topic" on which the story should revolve around, and I want to see how close we can stay too it. At the end of 500 posts, like the last one, I will compile the words into the full story. However, this time I will give special recognition to top posters, whom I believe were A) the most on topic B) the most original and C) the most selfless (as in going out of their way to make sure the story was on topic/made sense, even if it meant giving up a post of their own).

Rules:

- Words being used are marked in quotation marks. If it isn't "quoted" then the word is not in play, and will be skipped over in the final version. Speaking outside of quotes is allowed. While it would be preferable to use parantheses around parts that are simply discussion, as long as it is without quotes, it should be fine.

- One word means ONE WORD. This includes names as well. "Malacath" is acceptable, but "Benito Musolini" is not. Posts with two words will only have one word used, the other will be skipped over.

- No more altering previous words by adding a "-". The purpose is to work with the words already posted, not change them. These will be skipped over entirely.

- If the previous post is in violation of the rules, simply ignore it and continue using the last word.

-We are now using "." to signal the end of a sentence, as it it more visible.

- Please keep posts at least moderately appropriate/relevant.

The topic of our new story is "Jarl Balgruuf". He is the protagonist of our story, and the story should revolve around him in some way or form.

The first word is...

"The"
