Plot

Welcome to Ryndaal, a kingdom in turmoil, but to understand it's suffering, we must first take you back over two hundred years to when our world was split into five factions, each with a substantiol civilisation. Each faction was lead by a magus, their leader, one of the greatest magical warriors ever. Together, the five magi were working to create a true peace between the kingdoms and unite humanity together for greater ideals. To do this they did the impossible, they created the third wind of magic.

You don't know what the winds of magic are? Well let me explain:
At the poles of our planet flow two unimaginable sources of power, this power spreads across our planet, but grows weaker the further it stretches out. From the north spreads the wind of Chaos and from the South comes the Eternal wind, this meant that those living at our equator were weakest and paranoid, disallowing a united kingdom if it would be unfair.

So came the Magi's idea, harnessing the two winds they forged a third wind, the wind of Mana, that spread in both directions from our equator, giving all five factions and equal source of power. It was our saviour and our undoing.

In the following years strange signs appeared across the newly created Ryndaal, strange monoliths bursting forth from the ground in the north, crops inexplicably dying and diseases spreading through entire communities, then they came.

From the bowels of our planet itself the Skitani came, a race of demonic creatures feeding off the magics of our realm. Spawned from now forbidden chaos magic they quickly swarmed the northern populace killing everything and what was driving them on you ask? The third wind, Mana, another energy source that if they could use, they could elliminate humanity itself and in doing so, the three winds would be theirs.

But there is resistance, our equator is now a constant battleground as Skitani surge forward. But as is our way, humanity must survive. That war has continued to this day, neither side giving in. But soon comes a turning point, let us pray that it is in our favour.

Introduction
Well if anyone has got this far I've done what I've needed to do, anyway since you've (hopefully) read the plot you should have an idea of the setting so here's some brief information about your role!

In The Three Winds you will either be playing as:
A. A Ryndaalan Warrior or Mage
B. A Skitani
C. An "Evil"* Ryndaalan

As a simple rule, Skitani cannot be good and Ryndaalan cannot be allied with the Skitani *(however they may be a villain, but not evil in the same sense as the Skitani).

Magic is abundant in Ryndaal and even a worker knows basic magic, though it could possibly be useless. Those of you who chose to be a mage are naturally more adept with magic, the reason for this is currently unknown and may be revealed later in the plot depending on how we progress. Skitani however have access to very little magic as they would rather consume the energy than use it in combat.

Skitani

Just a bit of extra information about the Skitani to help anyone who wants to play them or is just interested. Skitani are intelligent and capable of speech. They have no particular appearance and can come in many different shapes and sizes, though they cannot look entirely human. They are in fact one super organisim linked to one greater demon who we will learn more about later in the RP. Anything else you wanna know? PM me about it.

Well that's all you need to know, now it's on to character creation!

Accepted Profiles
Gaian Name: [Knight of Cydonia]
Character Name: Isaac Grim
Character Age: 24
Race: Human
Weapon: Isaac wields a huge greatsword forged from strong steel, the blade itself is magical and radiates a small aura of bitter cold from it's edges. When fighting, Isaac swings his weapon in great arcs cleaving and slashing his enemies.
Appearance: Isaac is a tall and thin, yet well muscled man who usually wears a suit of plate armour and chainmail to protect him in battle. His hair is long and black, and extremely unkempt. His eyes are a dull green adding to his cold and weathered appearance.
History: Isaac was born to a farmer and his wife in the upper south, he spent his early years helping to tend the crops that would soon after be sent out to the battle line for the soldiers fighting the war. It was then that Isaac decided he wanted to help in the fight and in the following years he joined the Ryndaalan army, undergoing basic training. Miraculously he has survived to this day, earning experience and command in the bitter struggle.
Personality: Anti-scoial and brooding away from the battlefield, Isaac finds little time for comfort in such a war torn kingdom. Silent he speaks only when needed and truly believes that actions speak louder than words. At war this is truly a different story and he can be heard leading ferocious attacks and rallying defenders above the roar of battle.
Magic: Isaac has little use for magic, though he does however knows one spell, the same spell engraved in his blade and using it he can create a small area of cold with his hands.
Other: None

Isaac frowned at the onrushing horde of Skitani that were growing ever closer to their shield wall, he stood in the second rank, great sword rested on an armoured shoulder, it was hot, very hot as it always was at the equator where Mana flowed it's strongest. The magic was influincing everyone and even the chill around Isaac's weapon seemed colder. Suddenly there was a cry as the spears lowered and the hundreds of soldiers braced for impact. Forcing a leg back into the dirt, Isaac moved his second hand to the grip of his weapon, with any luck they wouldn't break past the first rank, but the Skitani were unpredictable and he'd seen many over confident warriors die by their blades.

Then they were upon them, screaming, snarling, lashing out at the soldiers, many already had found their fate on the keen tips of the Ryndaalan spears, but others had made it pasts, battering shield with iron hard claws and vicious weapons. The man infront of Isaac fell to a blow to his leg, roaring in pain on the ground. But the demon's victory was short lived as Isaac returned the favour, cleaving the creature appart with one might swing. Elsewhere the Skitani had forged a path through too in their unending rampage.
