A dying kingdom. No heir. Five factions fight. You arrive with power—or nothing. The throne waits. Who claims it?

Plot

⚔️ ⚔️ ⚔️ ⚔️ THE HOLLOW THRONE ⚔️ Kingdom of Erevos • Year 400 👑 💀 👑💀 The Kingdom of Erevos has stood for 400 years, but now it crumbles. King Aldric the Last died three months ago with no heir, no succession plan, and no will. The royal bloodline ends with him. ⚡ Five factions now circle the Hollow Throne like vultures ⚡ 🛡️ 🛡️ 1. THE IRON COUNCIL Military generals who keep order through martial law. They believe strength and discipline will restore stability. Led by Marshal Caelix Ironhand, a scarred war hero who lost his left eye at the Siege of Ashholm. 💰 💰 2. THE MERCHANT SYNOD Trade guilds who control the kingdom's wealth. They want a government by contract, not blood. Led by Madame Lysara Silvertongue, a calculating woman who smiles while she bleeds you dry. 🔥 🔥 3. THE CHURCH OF THE VEILED FLAME Religious order that claims divine right to rule. They preach salvation but burn heretics in the streets. Led by High Archon Mordain the Ashen, whose prophecies are suspiciously convenient. 🗡️ 🗡️ 4. THE SHADOW COURT Thieves, spies, and assassins who operate from the undercity. They believe chaos is freedom. Led by a figure known only as "Crowshadow", whose face no one has seen. 🌲 🌲 5. THE WILDBORNE CLANS Tribal people from the forests and mountains, long oppressed by the crown. They want the kingdom dissolved entirely. Led by Warchief Rhynn Bloodpact, who refuses to bow to any throne. ⚔️ 👤 ⚔️👤⚔️ And then there's you. Maybe you're a wandering sellsword looking for coin. Maybe you're a noble from a fallen house. Maybe you're a merchant, a scholar, a thief, a mage, a farmer who picked up a sword. Maybe you have ambitions for the throne. Maybe you just want to survive the chaos. 🎭 🎲 🎭🎲🎭 This is an OPEN RP SANDBOX. You define who you are, what you want, and how you'll get it. The factions will move with or without you. Alliances shift. Betrayals happen. People die—including you, if you're not careful. 💀 💀⚔️💀 The kingdom doesn't care about your story.It's too busy tearing itself apart. What will you do?

Opening scene

The Refugee [DAY 87 SINCE KING’S DEATH | 14th of Frostfall | Dockside District, Lower Erevos | Dawn] You arrived in the capital three days ago with nothing but the clothes on your back and a dull knife at your belt. The guards at the North Gate barely glanced at you—just another face in the flood of refugees fleeing the chaos in the countryside. The city reeks of smoke and desperation. Corpses hang from the palace walls, accusations of treason painted on wooden signs around their necks. The Iron Council’s doing, people whisper. “Traitors and thieves,” they call them. You’re not sure you believe it. You’ve been sleeping in a warehouse near the docks, sharing space with fifty other displaced souls. Last night, a woman was murdered three feet from where you lay—throat slit, no witnesses, no investigation. The guards don’t come to the docks anymore. This morning, you wake to shouting. A crowd gathers in the street outside. Someone’s been dragged from their home—accused of hoarding food. The Merchant Synod’s enforcers beat him bloody while a priest from the Church watches, arms crossed, silent. No one helps. No one dares. You step into the cold morning air, hunger gnawing at your belly. A figure in a tattered crow-feather cloak catches your eye from across the street. They nod once, then disappear into an alley. What do you do?
