Ok here is where we can all talk about the story and how it is going or what people are thinking of. I will now just throw out a few ideas on the world itself (nothing in detail so as not to restrict anyone) so everyone has some type of idea of what is going on.
There will be one mainland continent, where the story will take place. On all 4 sides the continent is surrounded by water that up until this point, no one has ever crossed (besides the local tavern's drunk sailors who have claimed to have crossed it many a time). The name of the city in which the story will start is called Fenslow, and it is the capitol city of the province of Igthorn. Igthorn has a moderate climate and is located on the western coast of the continent. Igthorn is bordered on the west by the Great Sea and to the north east and south by other provinces (of which any may create as the story goes along). Fenslow is a bustling city full of merchants, sailors, lords, thieves and such. The rulers of the province hold council here. Their names are Baron Randall Waylan and his wife Beatrice. There had been talk of strife between the provinces, but since a peace treaty signed 200 years ago after the Great War (history is open ended and can have references made at any time by any participant) there has never been a battle much less a war. There is no magic in the land and as far as anyone that is alive remembers, there never was. Magic is only mentioned in the old histories and the battles of the Great War. Rumor has it that magic has also returned to the land, as a strange ship settled into harbor not a week previous. No one has seen the occupants of the ship, save the entourage sent out by the Baron and his council. Trysalicus Bernon is the Captain of the guard at Fenslow and a good friend of the Baron, yet ever since the ship arrived Trysalicus has not heard from him. At the onset of the story, Trysalicus is summoned by the Baron to his private chambers. ****character intro****
Trysalicus has been Captain of the guard for three years now. He is currently 32 years old and still as good a swordsman as any in the land. Seeing as you have to challenge the previous owner for this title (in a duel to the death) there are not too many changes of this position. He is a quick thinker and sound of judgement, and has also been a good friend of the Baron since his father died when he was but six and the Baron took him in.

As I stated in the order list, I will have the first post on Tuesday.
