Seven years of war have passed. The Four Kingdoms lie in turmoil. The Northland's forces have been forced back behind their borders. Now, the Elfkin have cut themselves off from the rest of the world, their only connection through the Nexus city of Ocran. The Dwarfkin have drawn back into their mountain homes. The Race of Man, dwindled to a bare handful of the strongest, have retreated to the city of Cellhoven and their portion of the Nexus.
Now is the time for us to choose our sides. Are you Elfkin, Dwarfkin, Man, or Orc? Do you serve that which is light, or that which is dark?
This is where you'd post character sheets, questions on where the story line's going, that sort of thing. Any ideas and feedback are welcome.

First Name: Melani
Last Name: Amarell
Race: Elvish
Occupation: Assassin/Sword for Hire
Home City: Ocran/Karamoll
Home State: Westlands
Personal Stats
Age: 23
Height: 5'1"
Weight: Between 95 and 110 lbs.
Hair: Auburn-gold
Eyes: One blue, one golden brown
Skin: Lightly tanned
Clothing: Typical traveller's garb consisting of dark brown tooled leather boots, forest green leggings & tunic, and a black cloak. She carries a two- handed sword in a scabbard across her back and a knife at her hip. There is a leather carryall bag on the hip opposite the small knife.
Ranking: She is good enough with her sword to be a commanding officer in the Elvish army, but she chooses to be an independent force.
Mount: Melani prefers foot travel, but when she needs to, she will ride. When she does, she often chooses a small, dark mount; this is because of her size.
Backstory:
Melani Amarell was born into the Elvish Family Royale as Melanialel* So**-Amarell. Until she was nine years old, the young elf was raised in the manner of all Elvish Princesses; sheltered from the world and kept in seclusion. On her ninth birthday, when most Elves' faeriw powers manifest, the was no sign of any manifestation. As such, she was denied her right to the throne. At the most, she could reign as regent should her mother bear another child.
However, Sofialel So-Amarell never had the chance to bear another child. Three years after Melanialel was born, Sofialel took ill with a wasting sickness and died soon afterwards. Melani, as an infant and still in seclusion, was not informed of her mother's death until after her ninth birthday. As such, the girl has no memories of her mother save for the mithril*** chain that she wears around her neck.
When Melanialel turned 13, she finally came to realize just how much trouble the Westland was really in. The young princess also realized that because she was denied the throne and she had no siblings, she could do little to nothing to help. Moreover, the Orcs in the Northland were stirring up trouble around the Nexus Cities.**** Melanialel soon found herself plunged into an international war.
Seven years of interminable fighting later, the Westland elves, Southland humans, and Eastland dwarves drove the Orcs back into the North. Melanialel drew back her forces into the westlandm the Elvish army licking its many wounds.
It was then that Mel made her decision to leave Karamoll City. She had no business with the Family Royale any longer. In a legal move that shocked and scandalized the Westland, Melanialel So-Aramell passed the throne to her cousin, Coranalel Sa-Arafel. She gave up her titles, her land, and the additions to her name. The former Elvish Princess of the Family Royale tool a horse from the stables, a hundred gold coins from her family's coffers, and a sword from the soldier's barracks.
When the girl rode into the Nexus Cities, she rode in under a new name. The small, beautiful, auburn-haired girl called herself Melani Amarell and advertised herself as a sword-for-hire.

* The suffix -alel is awarded to those of high ranking in the army or those in the Family Royale. It is only used in formal conversations and at the coronation of the Prince or Princess.
** The prefix So- (When added to a surname) denotes a high ranking Elvish female. When applied to a male, it is Sa-.
*** In this case, 'mithril' is translated as moonsilver or elfsilver.
**** The Nexus Cities are four cities at the meeting of all four countries. These cities are commonly referred to as Nexus.
Adding the footnotes that I forgot the first time and have been meaning to add for...at least a week.

Backstory: ((Can be short or long, however you like.))
Westland - Home of the Elfkin and the other creatures of Faerie; pixies, sprites, gremlins, Lesser Dragons and Wyverns, Griffins, and the Spirits.
Southland - The human kindgom.
Eastland - Home of the Dwarfkin, the Wildmen, and the Great Dragons.
Northland - Home of the Orcs, Trolls, Gnomes and other creatures of the like, as well as the Black Dragons.
The farthest reaches of the Northland, above the Shadow Peaks, are the Wastes. These are a barren area that supports only two people; the Northland Witches.
The large lake in the center of the map is Lake Koramell to the Elfkin and the Silver Sea to Men and the Dwarfkin. The river flowing out of it is the River Ethinin, the Shining River to Men and the Dwarfkin. The Silver Sea earned its name from the high concentration of mithril dissolved in the water.
The Western and Eastern forests are part of a much larger forest that extends far to the south, providing a home for chimeras, manticores, and other such fabulous and dangerous beasts.
South of the Forests is an ocean that has not been explored or named. The only named area is the Mithril Delta, where the River Ethinin empties into it; this has only been assumed to exist.

*Rubs hands together gleefully* Well, we can start whenever you two are ready to go. But we should pick a plausible starting point for an Elf, a Dwarf, and a Human to meet...
I'm thinking Ocran City might be a good starting point...It's part of the Nexus Cities, in what they call the Elvish Quarter. It's called the City of Thieves because the rest of the people in the Nexus don't trust the Elves and the other creatures of Faerie. There's an inn called the Wreath of Roses just inside the city wall with a wreath of black roses over the door.
