Welcome to the Realm of Osterra, a land of ancient mystery and high adventure. This realm appears to be a sort of hub plane, with unusually high portal activity. Most of us are strangers to this place and have come through various gates and have found each other here.
A wealthy Lord named Osric intends to found a kingdom here, but other forces seem to be at play here as well.
Please, take a moment to introduce yourselves. Help yourself to some mead and mutton, have a seat by the fire, and tell us your story.
(Use this thread for character intros, and getting to know each other! Feel free to rp and please include a pic of your character if you have one)
I am Meryn Seeker, Healer and Warrior. I have found myself with other portal travelers for the first time in my life. Though I've been sucked through the bloody things before I've always ended up alone. Odd how so many of us have been gathered here. I really can't imagine that this is an accidental meeting.
I wonder what this means and who is pulling our strings? At the moment, I will work with these people to survive, but I will keep a wary eye on them. I have reason to not trust easily.
Uk, uk!
Me Bash'um. Bravest warrior of Ook-Ook tribe. Me homeland cold, men grow strong. Me hunt spear-toothed cat, throw spear into his chest. He goes back to his lair, me follow. Get lost in cave. When find way out, am not home any more.
This new land warm, men grow weak. Wear shiny suits so soft skin won't get cut. Grow seeds so no have to hunt. Bash'um want hunt many beast, kill many enemy, take many trophy. Take back home, win much honor for Ook-Ook. You give Bash'um some more fire drink, maybe me tell you how me scare mighty mammok off cliff, give tribe enough food for moons and moons.
Hail all! I am Kailos.
I first lay eyes on the land of Osterra after traveling through a portal from a rather mundane world. New to the idea of magic, orcs, and essentially anything more than the medieval land of my origin, I have struggled to catch up with the beauty and danger in the place I now calls home.
Having met with other travelers at the first Winter Council, I have set out on a quest to better understand from whence I came and to learn more about Osterra and the other portal travelers.
My name is Xoticus the Kind. Before stumbling into the realm of Osterra, I lived in a wartorn realm. Once a ruler of ancient Laconia, my order of Tharrosians now seek the secret of portal travel, that we might keep Osterra from sharing the grim fate of other worlds...
