For a thousand years, the city of An has been at peace. The Ancients built the original site into the side of a colossal mountain, and over the next hundred years or so the stronghold spread out and dominated the green valley nearby, eventually coming to a stop at the Tamalian Wood, a dark and immense forest said to be inhabited by creatures of myth. The city also is bordered by a vast shoreline, with a scattering of uninhabited islands dotting the horizon.
The city is home to heroes and vagrants, people who appear suddenly on the harbor after having come by boat, who mysteriously appear with magical gems from the darkened forest, or who come strapped with great-axes and dented armor from the high mountains. Some appear, as if having fallen from the sky, naked and dazed. The city of An has been a refuge for generations, of lost wanderers and those who have desired to make a home and a name for themselves.
It is said there are innumerable dungeons and ancient evils dwelling inside the mountains, and untold beauties and mysteries in the forest, and the islands hold their share of magic as well. The city itself is protected, though, by unspoken magic, and while magicians have searched for the origin of it, none have discovered its foundation.
OOC Rules: This is a city you design. Basic rules is as follows... 1) Create a character, 2) Put your character in a location, and 3) Have fun in that area. I encourage you to create lots of characters, and create lots of locations and have fun in the art of character generation and city building.
I will try to keep track of everything that goes on here, and when the city gets big enough, create a map with location names. Please post quality characters and locations though.
Once your character is created, you are free to browse throughout the city and interact with other people in other locations.
