Description:

Athean Empire -  Winds of War is a fantasy role playing PbEM game based on
D&D 3.5ed rules.

The emphasis is on writing and roleplaying. The game is not and never
hopefully will deteriorate to dungeon crawl or pure hacnslash. I enjoy
creating NPCs and the world very much so I hope you'll like interacting
with them as well. The story is designed so that the players may take it
into ANY direction so I cannot atm say weather this is going to be game
about heroes, villains or somewhere in between.

The game includes many challenges and puzzles of various kinds from combat
tactics to political intrigue and possibly resource and money management.
Players are encouraged to make their characters as part of the world as
possible. (ie: give them a profession and a job. Adverturer is not a
profession)

Game Background:

The Baron of Marchwood is terrified and has sent a messanger to Count
Allendale informing him that of 'dire peril' in his village. The exact
contents of the message has been declared classified, but the magistrate
and aid of Count Allendale has gathered a group of low ranking, but able
people from various positions to investigate and calm the Baron for the
Count for some reason does not seem to share the Baron's concern in the
same way.

You have been given only one mandate, directly by the Count himself: under
no circumstance you are to allow the Baron to hire mercenaries and raise
an army or gather an armed force in any other way, which includes sending
criers to nearby towns. "The Allendale County shall not become a cesspool
of sellswords under my rule" was how last sentence of the Count.

Character info:

Class: Any
Race: Human (I might allow halfling, but send in your character concept
first though)
Level: 4
Starting ability points: 80  (+1 at level 4)
HPs: Max at each lvl.

Other: I suggest making your character sociable enough so that they are
working for the feudal society in some way. That way you will have easier
time to fit in and more chances for roleplaying.

The empire is divided into protectorates and below is a link with the info
of the protectorate the game will be begin from as well as Allendale
County and Marchwood barony.
