Hell Rising (interest check!)

[Twilight_Cloud]

This is my first rp here, but I have hosted rps on other sites, one with the same structure as this one (or so it seems). This is one that I have tried doing on the other site, but sadly it died due to inactivity. :(I hope it has some better luck here!





Basic Plot:
The idea is a high fantasy story, so there are a number of races with different abilities you'll be able to choose from. Some follow certain gods or goddesses, while others follow no one. Of course, the characters can be good, bad, or neutral.

This takes place shortly after the Almerkian (pale-skinned humans) / Dwarf war. While they (and their neighboring countries) were distracted by this, a demon is secretly plotting with his human wife to take over the world. To do so, he needs to find three sacred objects spread across the world by the evil God Dermythis. Of course, he won't be the only one after these objects, as the one who finds them, can command Dermythis's army and essentially take over the world.
   
One of my characters will be a rogue, and he will find one of the objects on his way back from the Faeries' land. The demon's minions who had originally found it lost it on their way to their homeland. The main antagonist is furious and forces them to turn their ship around and search the port cities along Almerkians' coast. Our protagonist group will be in an inn in the port city of Methodin. A handful of the main demon's (whom has no name yet) followers show up and storm the inn, forcing us to work together to survive and we cross the globe searching for those who will help us protect the piece we have to keep the dark army from rising, and to find as much help as we can against this major threat. Our next stop will be Almeria, to seek out the Almerkian ruler and ask for his help. From there we will travel to the Dwarves', the Elves', the Anithropes', the Brothians', and then across the globe to the Faeries', Dragons', and Peripomads'. Who will join us? Who will be against us?
   
On the antagonist side of things, the reason the demon is doing this is because their island is becoming too small for their growing race, and he seeks to destroy the Elves, Faeries, and Peripomads in particular, along with any who oppose him. He is not the only one who seeks out the sacred objects, for there are others who seek to change the world, all of whom for the worst.
   

Basic Map: (will put a more in depth one up later in pieces)

I will add more information including city, race, and god information as well as character sheets to the OOC when I get at least three people interested! Also note that it will be easier to play as a protagonist than antagonist in this rp.

~Wow! These races look awesome! I'm really hoping more people will be interested!

[Ruu]

~Hey Twilight! I know no one else has expressed interest yet, but I was wondering if maybe you wanted to work on a one on one roleplay? We wouldn't have to do this plot necessarily if you think it wouldn't work with just two people, but I would definitely be interested in roleplaying with you. If you're busy, though, and you can't, no worries. I was just checking.

[Twilight_Cloud]

Sent you a PM. ^.^

[Lumeus]

Interested.

[Nomad]

I am interested in this as well if it's still seeking members
