The young heir grew into a fierce warrior taking the mantle of the warlord by beheading the man who trained him and raised him. Despite his blood thirsty ways he is known to be the best tactical leader in the kingdom as well as a great leader. He has amassed a massive army full of the under privileged citizens of the kingdom thirsty for royal blood and ready to change the way the kingdom is ran.
Families:
The Leiot Family - The Leiot [ Lay- Oh ] consist of a younger group of royals. Though their lineage has ran deep through the kingdom. Their name has been held in honor for years. Though they have long abandoned the beliefs of the seven and held to their hearts the belief in mortal power and their abilities.

The Leiot look for change within the kingdom and plan on changing so when their leader Alston Von Leiot claims the throne.

The Kul' Dah have since moved their forced to Valcia after word of the assassinated king had reached their ears.

The new gods represent the primary religion of ___________, brought over from the eastern continent. The seven faces of the gods consist of the Father, the Mother, the Warrior, the Crone, the Smith, the Maid, and the Stranger. Followers of the Seven normally only pray to six of the faces of god. Few if any ever pray to or sing about the Stranger, for he or she is the face of death. The Faith teaches that the Seven are simply different aspects of one god.
The Father, also known as the Father Above, is depicted as bearded and sometimes crowned. He has a judicial role in the pantheon, called upon to aid in judgement. The Father is also asked to judge the dead fairly during funeral services.
The Mother, who is similarly known as the Mother Above, is a smiling protector of children, mothers, and innocents. She is prayed to when a woman finds herself with child. During wedding ceremonies of the Faith, the septon stands between the depictions of the Mother and the Father.
The Warrior, patron of battles and soldiers, is portrayed wielding a sword. Faithful worshipers of the new gods will beseech him for victory in war or courage in battle.
The wizened Crone is the face of fate, often seen carrying a lantern. It is said that she let the first raven into the world when she peered through the door of death. Worshipers implore her to grant them wisdom.
Rendered with a hammer in hand, the Smith is the guardian of all things manufactured. He also fixes things that are broken, and as such is considered a god of healing and a protector of the crippled. Prayers to him seek strength for arms and armor, or good fortune when launching a new ship.
The Maid is the beautiful benefactor of young women, girls, and lovers; she is prayed to when any of these need looking after. Her courage is often sought as a blessing for young girls to help them navigate the dangers of growing up in the world.
The Stranger is the face of duality, seen as male and female or neither, and as human and not [some idols have half-animal faces]. The Stranger is a wanderer in the far places, seen as the face of death. The Stranger is also the dark guide who leads the newly dead to the other world, and judges whether a soul is punished and sent to the seven hells, or rewarded.

FAQ's
Here I will post all things that are to be known about this role play. As well as frequently asked questions.
________________________________________________
---- The Seven.
The new gods represent the primary religion of Tethres, brought over from the eastern continent. The seven faces of the gods consist of the Father, the Mother, the Warrior, the Crone, the Smith, the Maid, and the Stranger. Followers of the Seven normally only pray to six of the faces of god. Few if any ever pray to or sing about the Stranger, for he or she is the face of death. The Faith teaches that the Seven are simply different aspects of one god.

-The Mother, who is similarly known as the Mother Above, is a smiling protector of children, mothers, and innocents. She is prayed to when a woman finds herself with child. During wedding ceremonies of the Faith, the septon stands between the depictions of the Mother and the Father.
-The Warrior, patron of battles and soldiers, is portrayed wielding a sword. Faithful worshipers of the new gods will beseech him for victory in war or courage in battle.
-The wizened Crone is the face of fate, often seen carrying a lantern. It is said that she let the first raven into the world when she peered through the door of death. Worshipers implore her to grant them wisdom.

-The Stranger is the face of duality, seen as male and female or neither, and as human and not [some idols have half-animal faces]. The Stranger is a wanderer in the far places, seen as the face of death. The Stranger is also the dark guide who leads the newly dead to the other world, and judges whether a soul is punished and sent to the seven hells, or rewarded.
________________________________________________
---War Rules
-Taking Hostages - Taking Hostages is risky business and can easily lead to war. Taking hostagess takes the defeating of another character and taking them hostage. Taking hostages are a great way to get the upper hand in negotiations. Taking hostages makes a fight more risky the fight is also to follow the rules of the rp. Taking hostages only requires you to beat a fellow character in a fight and does not need their permission merely their unsaid agreement when they enter combat.
-Death Matches - Fights to the death can only happen if both characters agree to the match. These fights are honorable and upon killing a character their position is gone forever. (however a player may create another character) Weapons are able to be taken and exchanged with your original weapons. Or just used for trophies. These can only be 1 on 1 matches.
________________________________________________
--Magic
Though there is no real magic within Valcia however there is a way that few can use fire in a way which many describe as magic.
The pyromancers are regarded as magic users when in reality they know how to create, contain, and wield wildfire which anyone can learn with enough training but very few do. With the use of varying materials to make it appear as if it is true magic these pyromancers are few in numbers.
Once again this is not real magic and it has it's limitations. Wildfire which these few use is just as dangerous to the user as their foes.
--Pryomancers are limited to 1 out of every 5 characters.
