It's over. Egert the Mad, last of the Trimarian kings, has fled and
the Barons have taken the Chrysanthemene Throne. The old order has
reasserted itself and the Land of the Dawn shall no longer know
foreign rule.

The Trimarian kings came from the East. The first, Elabar, conquered
half of the Land of the Dawn and forced the other half - the still
independent Barons in the South - to swear fealty. For two centuries
his dynasty ruled the Land of the Dawn as their personal fief. That
is, until Egert the Mad took to the throne and, through a combination
of casual cruelty and gross incompetence, finally forced the native
Barons to rise and throw off the Trimarian yoke. And after one summer
campaign, they did so, and Egert the Mad fled to the unclaimed lands
in the West.

Now it's over, and the Barons are electing a new king, a native
Dawnish man, and the Land will know freedom.

______________________________

But it's not over for you. You have every reason to hate Egert the
Mad. And the fact that he is still alive - that he has fled - is
something you cannot countenance. You will never be able to rest
knowing that, somewhere, he might still be alive. You have to find
him, and end him for sure, so that you can know peace.

______________________________

Egert the Mad is a tale of high adventure in the unclaimed Western
lands. It's a tale of journeying, of travel in uncharted territory,
of maybe endless hunting. It's above all a tale of revenge.

Interested? Send me a 1st Level character sheet and a brief character
background - detailing the reason why your character wants his/her
own personal revenge on Egert the Mad - to tsitsatsa at yahoo.co.uk.
The best six will be chosen. There are no restrictions on characters,
except to say that I prefer well roleplayed player's handbook classes
and races (above all humans) to shadow-witch half-dragon blood
assassins-types. Any allignment is fine - but keep in mind that I
WILL force allignment changes (with attendant penalties) if you don't
stick to it, and just because you're Chaotic Evil doesn't mean you
have license to annoy everybody. Cooperation will be vital to
succeed.

Attributes to be determined by rolling 4d6 and dropping the lowest
score. Maximise hit points and starting cash. The game will be played
with standard 2nd Edition rules, but players without experience in 2nd
edition should have little difficulty adjusting.

As far as gaming style goes, I like things fast-paced and
action-packed. There'll be plenty of roleplaying, plenty of combat,
and plenty of intrigue. I'm not interested in reading page-long posts
full of flowery prose. Describe what your character is saying,
thinking and doing in as efficient a way as possible. If that means
one line - more the better.
