Hey guys,
I'll admit it. I'm a fan of steampunk, which makes me partial to Alerar, but for those of you who are used to Low/High Fantasy, have no fear. It won't be an extremely far cry from the rest of Althanas, so please don't let that deter you from throwing your name into the hat. I have three quests for Alerar. One is already underway and full, another is up and waiting, and the last is still being worked on. Here they are.
Equations (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?24392-Equations#top) <==link: Within the ranks of Alerar's movers and shakers are the Elders - the masterless bureaucrats, scientists, and pioneers of the country. And among their ranks a new radical theory has arisen - that the laws of physics and Althanas' fabled source of magic called the Tap are not separate, but two intertwining parts of the same reality, and that the fragmented latter source, which has given rise to bardic magic in one place and hex magic in the next, is repairing itself. While this debate goes on in northern Alerar, a search and rescue is underway in the south, where a tyrannical nobleman has killed one of those Elders, abducted his kids, and disappeared. The High Graf Schynius has called upon Vespasian Villeneuve to do whatever is necessary to find this nobleman, rescue his kids, and return them safely to their mother. The space for this quest has already been filled by Leopold Winchester.
Seeds (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?24431-Seeds) <==link: A Coronian national, who has been corresponding with Maelle Villeneuve for nearly a year now, wants to leave the island nation behind for the not so green pastures of Alerar. This farmer has secrets, about what only few know, but they're valuable enough for Alerar to want to welcome him with their signature reluctantly open arms. But it's a game changer on a worldwide level, and tonight she has only one chance to extract him and get him to safety. With her sister headed to Kachuck, Maelle is in need of tactical support. I need one player with a pc who is at least apparently human (doesn't have to truly be human though. read the first post and you'll see why), and can protect her.
Engines (under construction): Elven funerals are strange. We Humans like to say we should celebrate someone's life and not mourn their death. When you see Elves walking the walk, you realize how much we're bullshitting, especially when the funeral is for someone as long lived and accomplished as Arin'tal Deluge, noble head of Alerar's first airship enterprise. Elven inheritance is strange too, for when your Daddy has a life expectancy of nearly five millennia, you don't sit around waiting for him to croak. In this society, proprietorship isn't passed on to the eldest son like in those Human countries. This time it's just a coincidence. For the High Graf Schynius, however, it is a very very very bad coincidence that Xil'itus Deluge take his father's business, combine it with his own, and take business out of the capitol of Ettermire where he gets nice kickbacks. Esme Villeneuve has to find a way, without implicating Schynius, to get the airship enterprise out of the hands of Xil'itus and into the hands of someone worthy. I need one player. There really are no prerequisites here although I don't think a High Elf pc will work for it.
This won't be first come first serve. I'll pick whoever I think has the best fit: someone who's willing to bunny/be bunnied, available for chat on aim, and someone who can post at least twice a week. I don't suspect these will be terribly long quests. Take a look at the third post in Equations, and the first post in Seeds, and see if you're okay with my writing style before you throw your hat in.
