| The Burning Post - MUD Description | |
| Centuries ago, mages and men worked together throughout the realms. The Seven, those most powerful mages of the realms, guided others, both man and mage alike. But in Sun Calendar 109, King Dav ab Harmon of Lithmore disregarded the advice of the Seven. To warn him, or scare him perhaps, into acceding to their wishes, the Royal Apartments were immolated in fire. Either accidentally or intentionally, the Royal Family was slain that day, for all but King Dav himself were there. Grief-stricken, Dav ran to the mountains,leaving allbehind. He was gone for over two months, and his seneschal oversaw the Royal Funerals and daily matters of the land. Finally, Authryn ab Sidharr, the Seneschal,convened a Royal Council to determine the succession. King Dav returned during the time the Council was meeting,bedraggled and somewhat emaciated but very much alive. And very much insane with grief and rage, towards those who had killed his family. The returned King pronounced to his Council that no longer would users of magic be sufferedin his land. He ordered a bounty for all known mages, and called for their deaths. And so it was that King Dav began the Consolidation, by taking through force of arms all Kingdoms which bordered his, and putting to death any he caught who used magic. Gradually kingdom after kingdom fell to the onslaught of Dav's armies till in the end only the kingdom of Vavard remained to oppose the might of Lithmore. The Burning Post is set in the early period of the old Inquisition mud. The small island of New Yarsith located at the mouth of the Bren river serves as a focal point for events in the new empire in the years following King Dav's War of Consolidation. Dubbed the city of borders, representatives from every major guild, duchy, and even the kingdom of Vavard have gathered there at the behest of the King. At New Yarsith they will each vie to shape the future of the consolidated realm to their advantage in a bitter game of politics and intrigue. *The game has just moved into the Beta stage and players will start in the cramped confines of the New Yarsith Keep. As the player base grows and guilds expand, players will have the opportunity to move out of the keep and into the city proper of New Yarsith. The web page has been updated with several changes and we have a yahoo group and a forum for discussion at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/ group/theburningpost. and http://rpggame.wolfpaw.net/phpbb/ |
