aletheia


a magic-medieval fantasy rp


[attr="class","aleic-intro"]
The realm of Orsterra was created long ago by thirteen gods of renowned might. They breathed life upon the barren land, and fashioned mankind after their own image. The people of Orsterra came to revere the gods, and held them in the highest worship.
[break][break]
However, Galdera the God of Death, sought to seize the power of the gods for himself. He slew all but six of the twelve. Before he could complete his goal, Aelfric the God of Flames sealed him away with his light, banishing him forever from the realm.
[break][break]
Over thrice a millenia has passed. The lands of Orsterra are now absent of the Old Gods, and are now settled by the companies of men. Split into four factions that are constantly at odds with one another, our story begins in the thick of things as yet another war threatens to break with the next daybreak.

Classifications



Member groups are defined by a character's personal beliefs, motivations, and philosophies in their approach to life. They are measured by three factors (Heart, Head, Body) that are further defined by an alignment system (Altruist, Balanced, Egocentric).


Heart



Individuals possessing the 'heart' factor tend to base their actions around their emotions. They are empathetic towards others and are easily driven by feelings rather than logic.


Head



Individuals possessing the 'head' factor are logical thinkers and run their life by facts rather than feelings. They process their environment matter-of-factly and believe based on what they see, not on hearsay.


Body



Individuals possessing the 'body' factor are grounded in the belief that action speaks louder than words. They are interested in what they can do, considering emotions and the logic of the situation second to their goals.


Alignments



Based on previous factors, individuals are then further refined by their priorities of selflessness to self-centrism. Altruistic individuals have more charitable tendencies, whereas egocentric characters are more focused on personal freedoms.

Aspects



Last but not least, each individual must choose an aspect that they are inclined to: Wealth, Power or Glory. At times they will overlap, but we ask that players choose the strongest aspect they believe their character resounds the most in.



[attr="class","aleic-breakdown"]

Orsterra



Split between four major powers, Orsterra was once whole under the Ventus Dynasty, but that ancient lineage had fallen into ruin after the fall of Hornburg in Year 1320.


[attr="class","emblem"]

Republic of Cagliostro



A republic nestled in the western woodlands of Orsterra, renowned for their military might and serious and sincere nature. Famed for mastering both sword and sorcery.


Theocracy of Farnessa



A theocracy located in the northern reaches of Orsterra, they have kept faith of the Church of Sacred Flames alive while possessing advanced automata in their arsenal.


Kingdom of Atmahata



Once untamed with hundreds of lesser tribes and clans, now united under one banner of the royal monarchy of Atma. The people are hardy, much like the arid desert wastelands and mountain ranges that comprises most of their homeland.


City State of Tarpuz



Boasting Orsterra's largest naval port, Tarpuz is the smallest but wealthiest of all of the nations. They are renowned for their naval might and monopoly over trade routes throughout Orsterra.

Thank you everyone for the likes and general interest so far! I just want to check in briefly to say that progress is going well and the site is steadily coming together. I also want to quickly share some additional features/clarifications:


  • The site will be hosted on Jcink Premium.
  • There will be no levelling/powers/talent system. Everything will be freeform/based on the narrative you choose to write.
  • Aside from main royal families that are preset canons, you can create your own noble house or line.
  • Similar to player-created noble houses, you can also create your own subfaction/militia/organization/etc.
  • Main site plot will be focused on the relationships between the four main nations, but it is completely optional to participate in it. Major site events will affect the default narrative 'backdrop' of the site, however.

Are there multiple species, or is it just humans?

Just human and maybe something else (like beastmen) for now, since the premise of the site is primarily focused on the 'man vs man' trope.

Just sharing some snapshots of the forum as it's coming together. I'm also looking into creating a semi-interactive map of Orsterra that shows the locations and names of notable places!

I am very excited to share with everyone a preview of the World Map! This map is interactive, where you can click on points of interest that will prompt a small pop-up with a short description of the locations. There will be many points of interests, and towns and cities for you to ponder over. Some of these points have hinted at some history that will allow you to base off some character history points if you wish!

Without further ado, please click here or the thumbnail below for the interactive map! 

*Please note that all forum links are disabled for the meanwhile, but once the site is live this map will be properly hosted on Jcink and the links will be functional!

aletheia. will officially have a soft open on sunday, august 16th, 2020. this soft open is aimed towards volunteer help to debug the forum, collect feedback, and any new ideas and/or suggestions from members. 

During the soft open:

  • The usual activity checks will be temporarily suspended. Character activity requirements to create new accounts will also be temporarily suspended.

  • The usual reservation rules will be temporarily suspended. Instead, reservations will last until the duration of the soft open, allowing for soft open testers more time to adjust.

  • All participants will be rewarded with bonuses and receive an awards badge for participating in this process.

  • More details to follow once we officially soft open!

We can't wait to see you then!
