OOC: Lost In The Woods

Felis

TNPer
This'll be my new roleplay, to introduce the new and revamped Cronaal! I plan on letting one or two people join in and no more, I'm also aiming to show of literacy skills and use of language as it's inspired by an image I saw during an English lesson. The image was of a woman wearing a thick coat. She was looking behind her back at something we couldn't see but I assumed it was an animal or a hostile person as she was seemingly lost in a winter forest, snow covered the ground like a blanket and the tall, thin trees were dead. She was also in a clearing or on a derelict path or railroad. It's also a more basic description of the setting of the roleplay itself.

I shall give an example post, mainly because I find it too difficult to describe it otherwise
"My breath steamed up in the bitter air. This forest was a prison to me, it was colossal and so mythical yet I felt so closed in, I felt claustrophobic just by realizing I was here. It was... unusually grim to think about after residing in the most remarkable, beautiful palaces that Smithworks was so famous for across the north of the continent. I could compare every aspect of my home to this forest. The crisp, feathery snow reminded me of the polar-bear rugs that laid the floors of the many reception and dining rooms, they were a favorite for southerners of Cronaal who dared not to cross the violent, lawless wilds of Tyrath and Ganjar. The imposing, coarse bark of the trees that irregularly littered the surrounding area and much more were comparable to the bark of the bonsai and yew trees which were commonplace in the gardens of the nobles and knighted land owners. They always lined what the commoners called 'Main Street' with delicate and graceful yews that towered above the cramped and paltry homes and stores that enormous, sprawling families with little money lived in, only across a street from the Grand Palace. I stopped thinking about it.
I missed home."

The roleplay's main location is, hopefully, going to be the Silver-Anvil Forest which covered much of the north of Cronaal during the 18th and 19th Century prior to the 'Snowflake Colonization', which was a major colonization of the north of Cronaal. The Silver-Anvil Forest and the 'Snowflake Colonization' both gain their name from the seemingly impermeable snow which acts like a white blanket, similar to Northern Solstheim in Morrowind's Bloodmoon DLC. The time period is going to be 1801, several weeks before the murder of Emperor Paul I of Russia.
The actual plot of the roleplay itself surrounds itself around a single woman who is named as Lady Diana Wrokford I, who is also a direct relative to the nation's modern leader Queen Diana Wrokford II. She's had to flee the nation's capital of Smithworks for an account of murder, her victim was the nation's heir - Prince Archibald York I. She fled to the north of the Cronaal landmass in search of a smaller city-state nation, which no longer exists in the modern day, named Astaerta-Loette with no information about it's location other than 'North'. Her name has a bounty due to this and several different groups of people to chase after her.

Please post questions and OOC posts in this thread.
 
I would gladly join in, as this time period falls within the reign of Empress Catherine I, or Catherine the Pure. She was probably Syrixia's most kind and benevolent leader ever. Perhaps she could help Cronaal by sending a Syrixian search party?

I'll consider it.
I'm not guaranteeing your inclusion though, I'd love to roleplay with someone else if I can. You and Bootsie have been in my roleplays for months now.
 
I've edited the OP a little, it details the plot and changed time period. I found it was rather barebones and din't tell you what the roleplay was about.
 
The Spokesman of Eumenor:
Great post, Cronaal. Fantastic description. I'm a bit busy with RL and other RPs right now, though, and I'm sure you'd rather RP with some fresh faces.
Thank you for your applause, Eumenor.

And for Sebland, that's a possibility, the island you wish for is in Northern Cronaal.
Of course, you gaining ownership wouldn't been until late-RP.
 
I wasn't thinking that I'd be playing as Syrixia in this RP. At the time of 1801, Emperor Vulnus III has just been crowned and he is busy with domestic affairs and formulating a plan to destroy Eumenor.

I think the part of a kind, young adventurer who takes Diana into his home for shelter and then accompanies her throughout the rest of the adventure would be nice.


Plus, then, there would be someone to help counter Hillary Clinton, the evil bounty hunter.

I don't mind waiting. :D
It will be fun RPing with you guys. :D
 
Going by what I've seen, Plembobria, True Sebland and Syrixia wish to partake.
Please tell me if I'm wrong as I'd like to start the roleplay now.
 
I'm sorry I haven't posted it yet, I got ill on the day I wanted to post the roleplay and got distracted afterwards. I'll post it at somepoint tomorrow or early next week, I don't have time today.
 
If you wish to not sit through a description of Diana at a later date, this is roughly what i have in mind her her appearance.

I attempted to roughly note out the forest size and where notable locations our at the beginning of the roleplay. I also tried to keep the provinces.
Sorry if it isn't clear enough.
