The castle of Hemyock had always been a peaceful, decent place to live. Then, one day war from another nation was declared and the castle was thrown into the middle of it. Being by the shores where the enemy came from, the men were among the first sent into the battle to protect the land.

The war was long and took a toll on the people of the place. By the end of the five year war, the farming fields of the Hemyock were nearly all destroyed by the heavy boots of the men fighting. The people where decreased by over half, mostly only the woman, older men and younger boys who were to young to fight left besides the few war survivors.

This caused a problem since the warriors of the place were so few and there was still the threat of invastion. This caused the King to allow woman to fight, to train as a knight to defend the castle and the land. The young woman who had hated to stand by while the men went off to fight and the ones who wanted to prove themselves began with their training.

They are still excepted, being frowned upon by the older woman who still stood to the old ways and the men who didn?t believe a woman could fight. This caused trouble among the people, little fights happening among themselves. Still the king did not revoke the allowence of woman fighting for they threat of invasion was still high even ten years after the war.

The people finally excepted this and besides the occational tussle over the issue of woman fighting, all reamined peaceful. Until after another three years, thirteen after the end of what had been named the Lion?s War. Shortly after the eldest Prince was crowned and the King stepped down from the thrown, the country was invaded once more.

Now, both the woman and men of the castle prepare for war as the threat drew closer to the once peaceful place of Hemyock...

2. No godmodding. This is a rule you’ll see just about anywhere and this place is no exception. You must give another person time to react to one of your posts.

The castle of Hemyock is one of the larger one of the country, having a busy and thriving town even after the war from thirteen years before. The place is surrounded by high and thick walls that are nearly impenitrable. Guards watch the surrounding place all day and night for any sign of attack and also lock the gates at dusk.

The town itself is scattered with all sorts of business, anything from blacksmiths to artists to shoemakers. Anything you can think of could be found in this village. Most of the people live in the place where their business was, only the ones who work in the castle and do not have rooms up in there have house for themselves.


The castle itself is vast, made of caved stone that’s been white washed. The halls are decorated with draperies, and bolts of fabic to make it brighter. Despite that the castle still has a lingering feeling of gloom and the hallways still cold. Only the dinning hall and the bedrooms had any chance of looking cosier.

Surrounding the castle are the lands where the nobles reside. Their lands are what the King has given them. Their manors are centered on the land then where the serfs live in small places and farm the land. The war ended up destroing most of these places so the surviving nobles mostly all reside in the castle.

King: The ruler of Hemyock Castle. He runs everything to do with the people. As in deciding taxes, hearing trials to decide punishment to keep the law. If the king is young enough, he will be one of the first to ride out to war with his loyal knights behind him.

Queen: The wife of the King. Her job is to keep the castle clean and in control. Besides making an appearance with the King, she does nothing in the way of ruling the people except maybe try and convince the King to act a certain way.

Prince: The son(s) of the King and Queen. They are taught from a young age all the same things as the squires but are treated with more respect. They also get some basic education in the way of reading and writing.

Princess: The daughter(s) of the King and Queen. They are taught how to run the household and all the female things they need to do. If they wish to be a Sword-maiden, they receive almost the exact same training as the prince(s). The only difference is that they?ll never fight and they still receive the standard lessons the other princesses receive.

Mages: These are men of power. They are often held in high in the eyes of the king due to their abilities no one else has. They can often tell the future, tilt the balance in favor and even control the weather if they are powerful enough. Of course, one must be careful they don?t upset the balance of the world too much since it could send it into chaos.

Head Knight of Templar: The head knight is trained as the others but they are the best of the best so they are chosen to over see all the knights. They also are much more skilled at using a bow and other weapons. They over see all that goes on with the knights of the castle.

Knights of Templar: The knights are the loyal vassals of the King. When they complete their training as a squire they pledge their lives to the King and the country. They can never refuse the order of the king in any case. The Knights also carry a short bow with them but they are not as good as the archers. Each own a title and command their own company of men.

Secondary knights: These are the Knights who fight for the land and King except they are merely nobles and do not guard the King himself as the knights of Templar do. Everything else is the same. They receive positions in a company under the command of a Knight of Templar.

Head Ranger: The head Ranger is the most skilled of all just like it is with the Knights. They masters the sword as the head knight does with a sword. They also over see all to do with the squads and other Rangers.

Rangers: The Rangers are those who are masters of the bow. Their training is much like the knight?s but there are differences. The skilled archers do not focus as much on sword fighting, though they do learn it, and the training is not as intense. They also learn to track, hunt and merely survive out in the wilderness with next to nothing. Each of them are given a squad under their command. The Rangers are the only position that both female and male train together.

Secondary Rangers: These rangers are taught as the others but they merely serve under a ranger above them in a small squad. They also do not know as much about fighting with a sword unlike the higher Rangers.

Head Sword-maiden: She's the one who over sees all to do with the other female fighters. She has also mastered the bow and is the best of the fighters. She makes sure each of the female leaders are placed in a company along with the secondary females.

Sword-maidens: Due to the war that had killed most of the past Knights and men who fought, woman have been given the chance to become a knight, or as they call them, sword-maidens. They are often looked down upon because most men believe that woman have no place in a fight. They are each placed in command, along with a Knight, of a company.

Secondary Sword-maidens: They are the ones who are placed in a company under the command of a Knight of Templar and a Senior Sword-maiden. They aren't nearly as skilled with a bow or other weapons as the others but they are well off enough.

Squires: They are the knights-in-training. They serve their Knight-Master who is training them. They do such jobs as cleaning armor; saddling a horse or helping with anything their knight master asks them.

Female Squires: These are the squires for the sword-maidens. They do they same as the squires except for the female knights. They are also looked down upon as the other female fighters are.

Villagers and Castle staff: These are the people who live in the village within the surrounding castle walls. The people who work in the castle, such as maids or messengers, often get small quarters.

He sometimes wears a cloak on his back, when he does this his bow is held in a sling just underneath and his arrows protrude from a gap at the top for easy access. His shoulders look broad in his sometimes large armour, although not as hugely built as some knights he is wry, tough and resilent. His body is toned from years of training with the sword. His shiny armour is always in the best condition although bears some battle damage from the old campaigns. Emblazed on a white piece of cloth on top of the armour is the red crusade cross of the templar knights.
Personality: Friendly and always kind to others although sometimes quiet and keeps to himself but when it comes to battle he has the heart of a lion and will fight to the bitter end for what he believes is right.

User name: Grey_Hunter
Name: Nakia
Age: 18
Position: Head Sword-maiden
Skills:
Appearance: Her hair is dark Auburn red and falls to just brush her shoulders, more often pulled back then not. Her eyes are a stormy dark blue that look almost purple most of the time. Her body is lean and powerful due to years of training. Because of her delicate features and naturally slender body, she if often mistake for being weak.
She is most often clad in dark colors, not much into the lighter female ones. She wears the Ranger leather armor because she finds the heavy knight armor a hassle. On the upper left part, over her hair, is the symbol of serving the king.
For her weapons, a bow and quiver of arrows are strapped to her back which are easy to grab. Hanging on the left side of her belt is her sword, specially made for her height and weight. On the right of her belt is a dagger which was also a specially made one for her alone.
Around her neck hangs a pendant which has the symbol of her family and her stone on it. It is never taken off for any reason for it is a reminder of why she had become a warrior.
Personality: She’s a very friendly and polite person but takes her role as Head Sword-maiden seriously. In a dangerous situation, she can always remain calm, being able to take command of it and make the best of it.
Although she is mostly friendly, she does have a temper even though it is not easily invoked by anyone. One of the few things that can is someone treating her or one of the fellow female fighters like they were nothing. Even when angry, she can still keep her head and not let it affect her.
History: She was the only daughter of one of the more powerful and respected Noble families that had served the King for generations. When the land was invaded first, her family was among the first to be sent out to the battle lines with the king.
This resulted in he father and brothers being killed, her mother’s grief too much so she faded away. Now parentless, she was taken in by the closest of her relatives to her. She vowed at that young age she would find a way to avenge her family. When the King announced the new law, that woman could fight, she vowed to fight and protect Hemyock with her life as the rest of her family had before her.
Years of training hard paid off quickly, her becoming the Head sword-Maiden at a young age and now is one of the few respected female warriors, her skill and ability to match most of the men gaining her that.

Familar: A cat called NightShade, his fur thick, and black as the darkest night, yet he has a white spot in the shape of a five pointed star and perfect in every respect upon his forehead. His eyes bright and large, yellowish in colour, his purr soft and welcoming, yet his hiss is large and menacing. He's more than just a pet, he has assited her in battles ever since she found him, being slightly larger than most cats he makes a useful "side-kick" and partner.

Appearance: A young girl, with a strong fighting spirit, her heart is of the purest kind, eventhough she mastered the shadow arts she never forgot of the light, but instead aimed to wield the power of both. Her ambitious nature has enabled her to survive many fights and waars that have crossed her path, including that of her home town (see bio). Her clothes have become worn and coated with a fine layer of dust from her travels, she bares the mark of the "dragon people" on her arm, which winds up her strong right arm to her shirt sleve, the red and black materal fraying slightly, yet strong in appearance. She wears it with the top button open, reveling a shining pendant in the shape of a dragon, her neck delicate and slender, her shoulders some what rounded, yet thick with muscels from carrying heavy equipment from place to place. Her figure slim, yet firm, not that of a weakling, leading to a long pair of legs covered in thick black trousers, with a slight red detail, her knees worn slightly, yet not yet in the form of holes, her shoes more of boots, and heavy wearing, sturdy and easy to run in. Her hair is short, yet has no trouble blowing in the breeze and flickering softly across her face and touching her eyes, her eyes shine as bright as the stars, blue as tinted diamonds and just as clear. Usually the show more of her feelings than her body does, and have given her away in the past. She does try not to lie anyway, unless its a matter of life and death. The principle of honour is one she hholds dear. Her blade is hitched up on her back in a leather hold.

Personality: She is often cold, and feels as if she has something that makes her smewhat more important than some people, even though this happens subconciously at most times. She follows her heart, and through her cold nature will follow her code of honor, yet she will extend a helping hand when needed.

History: In accordance to her villages traditions she left at the age of nine to the forest of Shallom (prononced: Shall-hom) to seek out a familar to train and grow with, after months of proving herself to the tree people and cratures of the forest by completing varies tasks she was rewarded with the creature known as "NightShade" a larger than life cat, with amazing fighting skills.

She returned to her home at the edge of the forest and bore the most excited smiled she could have ever wished to have shown, yet as she looked at her city, she could sense something wrong, the air stale, and smelt of burning wood, the threat of fire looming, her heart beating faster than ever, and with the distinct smell of blood in the air she ventured forth into the village, drawing her blade from its resting pouch on her back, and her new familar close behind the started to run. She ran until she saw some of the villagers, running and screaming, crying and shouting "run. run for your life." Scared she took a step back and looked edgily sidewards noticing a creature of emense build, breathing fire, it was coming closer to the unarmed villagers, out of instinct she jumped before it, holding her blade strongly infront of her, her eyes glaring at the beast, her intent was obvious, the creature stood up fully on its hind legs, shadowing her completly, yet she didnt move. She heard a women behind her, her mother, screaming and souting "NO shadow, leave us, save yourself, go to Estarian" (prononced: Est-tar-ian) ignoring her she held her blade more menicingly, she could not leave, would not leave, her heart thumping swiftly in her chest, her mind focusing, and her familar ready for battle beside her, claws drawn, and teeth bared. She shouted, in a strong voice "Leave us be" the creature replyed by sending fire either side of her in warning, so once again she shouted, her tone full of building emotion, "LEAVE US BE!!!" The creature fell back to its four legs and charged for her, knocking her over, her familar jumping at its neck and clinging to it, struggling to hold on to its scale like skin. She retailiated while it was distracted and stabbed its leg, causing a deep woind, and a large spray of blood to coat her and the building behind her. SHe withdrew her blade and stabbed the creture again, higher this time, more blood pouring from it, the creature turned around, knocking her over with its tail, she landed strangly on her wrist, and immidiatly reconised it was broke. SHe let out a scream of pain before flinging her self forward and stabbing her blade as hard as she could into its chest, piercing its warm tender heart, she stood there for a few moments untill the creature fell to the ground and snapped her blade with a crisp "snap", she tossed aside the now worthless blade and tunred to her mother, smiling. She recalls her mothers reaction all to well "you stupid child....you could have been kill....dont you dare disobey me again!! EVER!!!!"

But she did, many times in fact as she grew up, firstly her mother forbid her joining the dragon brigade when she was 12, but she did, her arm tatooed with their mark. She was told never to get a new weapon as it wasnt "lady-like" yet she travel to the valley of Besaid (prononced: Be-say-ed) and paid for the finest weapon they had, made of indestructable Kyton (prononced: Cry-ton) before traveling home with NightShade. She trained hard for many years, finally being old enough to actually travel with the Dragon Brigade (15), but on one of their adventures to the river of the lost souls they heard news that a village, just north of their location, now lay in ruins, scared that it sounded too much of their own they hurried home, wearing the horses out and having to continue on foot, when they arrived their village did indeed lie in ruins, burnt and desolote of all life. They search for survivers until a creature they had named "dragon" appeared and threated them to leave, when they wouldnt the beast attacked them, after being hit in the head she fell unconscious, certain of her own death she lay there for hours, until awaking, the air smelt dead, and when she looked around that was the only word to describe it, she wasnt home anymore, but in some unreconisable land, full of trees and a small crystal lake, her familar stood beside her and licked her. Her adventure begun here.

She traveled from the place she was abandoned, and two years after starting her search home she had gained the reputation of a skilled mercenary, and was feared in certain areas, unsure of what to expect she continued on, never stopping in one place to long, until now, when she stummbled across a place that was "different", and that is where she is today!!

Nakia reshealthed her sword, reaching up to wipe the light sheen sweat from her forhead. She let out her breath and leaned against the edge of the wooden fence surroundign the practise yard. She covered a yawn with a hand, eyes closing momentarily.

She turned and climbed over the fence, heading back to castle. She never really did like it inside the gloomy walls but her room was pleansent enough, simple but nice.

She soon enered the palace, walking along the corridors, nodding to occation person she passed. The halls were quieter than usual, not much of a surprise because of the hour. It was when everyone else was eating.

Rakene walks slowly and carefully along in the forests behind the main househis bow string pulled taut in his hands and an arrow held in place, he avoided twigs and trod exceedingly lightly in the dense foliage, hearing a rustling ahead he went into a slight crouch, bringing the bow up to bear. He waited absolubtely still, his breathing low even with the strain of holding the arrow, there was another rustling ahead of him and he pulled the arrow back slightly further, the bow made a barely audiable creaking.

I have you now.

A few seconds past slowly then came another rustling this time it was closer and the leaves infront of him of a small evergreen plant moved. A snout popped it's way out of the bush, it was followed closely by two tusks and the small eyes of a wild boar. It looked across towards where rakene was as if unseeing, Rakene's brown cloak and green clothes acting as camoflage against the forest. rakene smiled and let go of the arrow, it flew true and past through into the bush and embedded itself in the boars side. It whined in pain and collapsed onto it's side making a loud rustling and a thump as it hit the ground. Rakene got to his feet and shot over to it drawing his knife in his left hand as he did so, he crouched by it and puts his knife by it's throat and sliced across it in one quick motion. It was dead, he smiled to himself, cleaned his knife on his cloak and resheathed it.

"This should make a good meal"

He then removed a length of rope from his belt and began the task of tieing it's feet together for it's trip back to the house.

*She sat in a nearby tree watching him, his skills with a bow where evident by her catch, but mainly she just liked to watch those around her, observing their strenghts and weaknesses, that way if they ever turned on her she would be able to formulate a plan instantly, her heart beat softly, being one of the only female mages in the world wasnt easy, and she often had to hide her identity by cloaking her head as to not draw attention to her long locks of silverish hair, she kicked her legs softly back and forth, how she hated men, with there shallow mindedness of thinkinf women where worthless, well she would indeed show them. She yawn softly and turned herself, resting her head on the trees mighty trunk, at least there were no men here now and she was free to be herself and think*

Rakene began then began the task of taking his catch back to the castle and picked it up and placed it over his shoulders, looking into the air, through a gap in the canopy he saw a bird gliding, suddenly it winged and turned to fly in a different direction, rakene smiled from the time he had spent with the rangers he knew some signals of the environment, enough to tell that something below where that bird had turned wasn't meant to be there. He tried to peer through the canopy but saw nothing, his eyes weren't as keen as a rangers in the forest. No matter however, he had his bow and his knife he could defend himself if it was necessary, even without his armour on.
He then made his way through the foliage listening as he did so. After a short time he stepped out into daylight and looked out at the great expanse of terrain surrouding the castle, it'd be hard to sneak up on that that's for sure.

*As he walked past she remained silence, not even a rasp of breath was lost to the surrounding, her mind was focused, she shuffled across the branch softly and peered at the figure, his blackening clothes startled her....he was evidently someone with power, he seemed wiery of the trees and their inhabitents, and so, as silenetly as possible she jumped to the ground and land Neko like, her fingers digging in the soft earth, and she allowed herself to feel the warmth it emitted*
....
*she then looked up and then silently stood up, she clicked her fingers and a large shadowflamed cloud zoomed past the stranger and hit the tree just infront, she spoke with a strong and confident voice, her head covered with her cloak*
...friend or foe.....

Rakene wheeled on his feet, drew an arrow, drew the string taut and brought it to bear on the shape infront of him with it's hand outstretched. The arrow held tightly aimed straight at her chest.

"I should be asking you that question?"

He allowed himself a glance at the tree next to him that had been hit and saw nothing but a black patch of scorched bark, a small gasp escaped his lips and he looked quickly back at her pulling the arrow back further.

"What is this devilry?! And why are you attacking a knight of the Templar? who are you? SPEAK WIZARD!"

*she placed a hand on her hips, and felt the material softly flow between her finger*
...hmmmmm......wizard.....i would prefer the term dark mage....bt still we can not all have our way now can we....
*she brough her hands to her hood and slipped it down to reveal her face, her hair slinging softly in the breeze behind her*
....friend.....I simply thought I would get in a little "target practice" after all, these woods dont usually gaze upon warriors of you status....do they??
*she smiled bleakly, her eyes never wavering from his*
....hmmmm....no you answer.....and find no offence in my "welcome".....

Rakene slowly lowered the bow and removed the arrow from the string, he looked at her hard. He was half captivated by her eyes as she brought down her hood but remembered himself and re-slung the arrow in it's pouch on his back then stood up slowly and wearily careful in case this was some kind of trap.

"A.. a dark mage?"

A light of dawning spread across his face.

"You are the one the King has been expecting are you not? what is your name stranger?"
