This is my RPG. Anyone can join, but they must abide by the rules. Pick a race, and supply a description. Read ahead;
INTRO:
This is a world in which battles are taken for granted. Dragons pillage the towns of men for food and Shiny Things. Men fight back, using cunning observations to find weak spots in the marauding army that has been thrust upon them. Wise hermits known as Wisards live in solitary sanctuaries wherever they find peace. Now, even the men see that the normal battles have turned into an all out war. The vicious beasts from the forests are displaying unusual behavior and attacking all those who are near, as if only to fan the flames of chaos. For the first time they are fighting under one power. Powerful artifacts wreak havoc among all who oppose those who weild them with magic. Shiny weapons, items or armour can make a battle quickly turn one sided in the favour of he/she who wears one. The Gods watch down and see all. All races fight. All races struggle. Only one will survive.
THE RACES: Humans or Heralds
The Humans gather their most intelligent and strong to resist the slaughter, forming the beginnings of a Faction. This is called the Campaign for Armies of Skilled Troops and Ledgendary Ennobles, or CASTLE for short. Long ago, Men tamed horses for thier use as travel and carrying capacity. Plated in thick Titanium Alloy, a rare resource commonly know as Shiny, these knights now have hope. Be it slim, as they know the only way of survival is to gather under one banner, the banner of Herald.
The Dragons or Sacred Enity
The Dragons thrive on bloodlust. They know not the meaning of companionship or loyalty, only of the value of the Shiny Things. Shiny things form great hordes in the caves and groups of which they live, where these Ancienct Entities lie. Only this will provide the protection they need to cover their soft underbelly. The Men-creatures hold food and Shiny Things in their very existence. Only they threated the Entities, only they do not know it. They must be stopped.
The Beasts or Plagued Ones
Beasts of all shapes and form have gathered in the forests. But now instead of hunting and murdering each other, they have come together. War is apon them. Men keep them at bay. Dragons scorch their forests. But that alone is not enough. Dark magic is at work. It would take much power to create a force to control such beings. Crude tools have sprung up in their new society as weapons of war. Uncivilised, hungry and driven by fury, these monsters are most definately a force to be reckoned with. Only a few elf leaders have sprung up as the only sentient beings from the forests to lead them, as their own kind.
The Wisards, or Wise Ones
These men are mysterious. Few have ventured to speak with them, and even fewer men have returned. But those who have, take back with them new knowledge and power or an Artifact, just a glimpse of what these rare Wisards can do. Unlike the Dragons and the Heralds, they do not interest themselves in the shiny ones. They are, by most standards, omniscient. They know the end is near. They know how to all, and how to save it. Unfortunately for all, not all Wisards agree on which side to choose. These Wise Hermits have been seen emerging from their sanctuaries for the first time in centuries, and they alone are the only ones who know why the beasts have joined the battle for Land.

GAME PLAN:
The Slayer is almighty and powerful, and plays a key role in the battles that make up the War for the Land. I take control of Titan the Slayer. One player can take control of some troops, or if the prerequisites are met, an army, and can attack or do what they wish in one turn. However you cannot control the enemy. A battle will usually be decided by the slayer according to these rules:
1)the more powerful army
2)the more cunning moves
3)whoever has slayers favour. this is Gained by:Praying, Abiding by the rules, being sensible and realistic. Lost by: Being stupid, being unrealistic, trying to make yourself all powerful etc.
4)the storyline
Sieges: The main idea of the game includes but is not limited to, laying siege to enemy encampments(see map in main thread). If you realistically travel the distance to an encampment, attack fairly and follow the rules, you will lay seige to a town, and their fate will be decided on their defences, and whoever has the Slayers favour. Note that once all enemy encampments are destroyed, there will still be more enemies, and they can make more.
i feel that i have left the story quite open, on purpose to make room for a fully custom story, which depends on the moves of all the players. but i do hav a story in mind, and if all else fails i can throw it into action, so the story will never lack direction or originality. peace is an option, but no one wants to join up with another race now do we?
now please, post your character and when i say go, the war will rage!

I object your honor!
I know it's not my place as it IS your storyline, but not all elves were bad and I simply can't see humans "hunting them for food". Perhaps there could be 2 kinds...the Drow who could be dark elves w/the Beasts and regular Elves that would be w/the Knights. Just an idea.
____________

OOC UPDATE: these elves are the evil kind. the beasts were never hunted for food, sorry for the misunderstanding, but the "beasts" refer to forest dwelling monsters, and NOW, also refers to the sentient beings who also inhabit the trees and forests.
theyre not BAD, but just opposed to being forced into the forests, or anywhere for that matter.
