*Capital* Naami- A large forested city, the trees are immence and compact, the forest dark and eerie. The city itself swims with beauty and tranquility, streams and rivers cut through it sparkling in the sunlight. The houses are largely made of wood and the residents train hard in forgotten arts of magic. Has a large port but only a small fleet.

Raagi- A small meadow village known for its wonderous beauty, has ancient ruins that have been studied and said to have angellic origin. The residents are peaceful, yet it has a military academy teaching sword arts.

Triaan Island Dictatorship:
High Lord: Ramirez Colt-Saan
Race: Triaanans- Humanoid race consisting of veteranized military society though not the largest army. Has a large fleet of ships led by a single admiral, Admiral Loché. The country is seemingly led well, punishing piracy and training the best soldiers in the land named the 'Oval guard' that act as Ramirez' own bodyguard. The only nation with a very apparent accent.

Race: Valaians (pronounced Val-Eye-Uns). Humanoid, tend to be from a military background due to the compulsary 3 year military service law. The people are proud and pride themselves on having the largest army in the lands, nearly doubling any other. The elite soldiers in thsi army are a very select few called the veteran refine knights, commonly called 'VR knights'.

*Capital* Yulaii fortress town- The largest city in Valarai. Has a gigantic steel wall around the parimiter. Houses the huge military barracks and has a chain of towers, turrets and sirens along the fortification. The houses themselves are in vast equal columns and rows, almost a perfectionists dream.

---o0o---

The races available are limited, human or elf. You cannot be of the ancient race, unless only by origin, wings and guns are dissallowed.

The story at the biggining will be clear through my first post, which will tell of a trade ship being hi-jacked by pirates and stripped of its cargo then left to plummet beneith the sky.

Ships in this fly like the airships in final fantasy 7 and 9.

You can be from any place you desire, however, your loyalty later will either be to one side or the other, at first I'd like everyone to be neutral. Now, it is up to you where your starting point will be, I personally will be on the ship that gets hi-jacked.

I am looking for around 5 people for this, the first good characters will be admitted.

I would like these rules to be followed:
-All usual forum rules.

-Expletives are allowed but not excessively, this will result in a warning and eventual exclusion from the RP and a referal to the moderators.

-Romance is allowed, but not too graphic.

-I would like frequent as possible posts, if this is impossible, I would like detailed long posts from those who cannot fall in with this standard.

-NO God-moding.
