~What Ever Happened To Knights In Shining Armor~


This epic adventure is a diplomacy, romance, and war role play set in a fictional, but historical setting. While the time for battle comes, in this time one who is only a warrior finds their lives growing more and more useless. Knights begin to see that the barbaric ways of old are ending and the age for diplomacy is come.


There are dozens and dozens of great RPs on gaia and elsewhere that have magic and monsters, and those are all great fun and all, but they are not what I wanted for my world. This RP focuses on the very human aspects of characters. people just being people, and only being able to do as much as a person could do. Rather than fit in with every other role play ever that has magic and dragons and vampires, I wanted to challenge my players to look deep within themselves and find a character that has passions, and fears. To create a rich tapestry of characters and interactions that are relatable at the deepest level of humanity. What I wanted for my RP is to give the players, and those who read it later something they had never done before, a story that they helped create, and characters that they fell in love with, and grew to hate. And a story that they could call their own. That is the inspiration that drives me.


There was once a land, in the mountains of the Westhorn, where Knights rode magnificent steeds, and damsels were in distress.
