Welcome to the world of Fortuna, a land of fantastic proportions. This is an original fantasy roleplay that takes place in a world developed over nearly a decade of work and collaboration. We aim to encourage all participants to have a hand in the stories of the characters here, and the world around them. Your choices are key - so make them with pride. You decide who wins the wars, you decide who becomes King, the world is ours, and together we will bring it to life!
I've been feeling interested in doing some sort of politics based storyline for a while. Something with intrigue and political scheming, like Game of Thrones. I was curious to see if anyone wanted to do something of that ilk and perhaps work together on something?
I have a few ideas, but I'm not particularly attached to any of them. so feel free to suggest your own. - The political infighting of a trade and mercantile based city-state, with some sort of senatorial system. - A crisis of succession in an established nation/city. (Or perhaps a nation/city of our own making) - Some sort of political coup or revolt, or a civil war. (Exploring both sides perhaps)
If you have a character whom might get involved in something like that, have ideas to contribute, would like to work together or if you're just similarly interested in some sort of political thread or storyline, let me know.
The bottom one might tie into some ongoing pieces!
Markus Woodrow and Pelagia Xista are both angling for control of their own nations. Lord Woodrow is doing it through his organization (the SSPB) which is extending it's own rule of law and control to a variety of other nations, offering him substantial power and alliances with world leaders that the current Sultan of Submiere simply doesn't have. Of course, Lord Woodrow wishes to demolish the current system of Sumish government and replace it with the rule of the SSPB (and therefore him) which would be quite a shift from the royalist tendencies of the continent.
Pelagia Xista is attempting to take control through means of destroying her citizen's faith in their Queen. She's a warlord, and is leveraging the current war over the territory of Atton to gain the public's faith. (endy )
Oh, and I have Elias Harel, who is leader of Muerte which is currently a fascist regime right now, so there are revolutionary groups within (and outside of) the country looking to gain enough traction to wrest power from Harel, or at least begin a war to weaken him. Of course, tied in with that, the neighboring countries of Liesdro and Dirys both wish to conquer Muerte and turn it into their own territory - so a weakened Muerte could mean no Muerte at all, forcing some moderates into positions of support for Harel, in hopes of protecting their own country.
Any of those sound appealing to develop more with you? (:
Zota Vanros's goal is to become the king of Dirys, and his son Edgar Vanros is forming his own plans, but they'll both be working together. Currently, Zota's primary goal is to do a expedition beneath the Jewel Shore to free Hausos, while Nicole Vanros's storyline was originally supposed to be about her helping unify Dirys and Liesdro, which would probably would have had her be involved in Dirys and Liesdro's attempts to conquer Muerte. Generally I want Hausos to effectively "sponsor" the Vanros family's claim to the throne of Dirys.

Maybe not quite what you're looking for but there seems to be quite a bit of intrigue involved with the Attonian War storyline! I know personally I'm working on a Vieri peacekeeper character at the moment who's likely going to get wrapped up in the corruption, politics, and hypocrisy of the military force, especially with so many characters having ulterior motives and what not.

Oh wow. That sounds cool. What's going on with that, and what kind of character could I make to get involved with that?
Zota Vanros 's goal is to become the king of Dirys, and his son Edgar Vanros is forming his own plans, but they'll both be working together. Currently, Zota's primary goal is to do a expedition beneath the Jewel Shore to free Hausos , while Nicole Vanros 's storyline was originally supposed to be about her helping unify Dirys and Liesdro, which would probably would have had her be involved in Dirys and Liesdro's attempts to conquer Muerte. Generally I want Hausos to effectively "sponsor" the Vanros family's claim to the throne of Dirys.
Sounds interesting. Not sure how I could get involved in that though...

I wouldn't mind playing someone aligned with either Woodrow or Pelagia. That sounds like it might be interesting. And the idea of playing a potential guerilla in Muerte sound somewhat appealing.

Edgar will be manipulated by Ichabod Afof into breaking the Seal of Diassei, but Edgar is also profiting off of a slavery ring. I suspect that, if news were to get out of that, his reputation would be in serious danger. Likewise, Nicole is joining a pirate crew known as the Defiled Grail, while Zota's other son, Acacia-Black, is currently working with Thomas Dunn as a mind-controlled servant. All three of Zota's children have their own storylines, but Zota would presumably treat them all as potential heirs to the throne. So, the options that come to mind would be to either secure their birthrights, or ensure that none of them could succeed.
