Awesomeness. So when you say this is a preview are you meaning that you're going to do another thread for the game or are you just showing us the stuff and you'll keep it going in this same thread?

[VincentASM]

^he he I will start the campaign here, I don't want to fill up this board with un-needed stuff. Just wait a few days and I will have all the data needed to start.

BTW Shoen if you are reading this, you are not in this campaign.

[Brainstem]

Great, I can't wait until then. I'm sick of running all these things with my friends. I long to actually play!

[Magicalmage424]

YAY! Aryl comes in... RESPECT THE AWESOMENESS FO A GENIUS 14-YEAR OLD GIRL!!

Ok, I'm done...

[VincentASM]

Details:

A few months ago the Royal Palace of Aveyn was in a great dispute. Prince Derek of Dalsta and Aveyn's Princess Erizine had a marriage arrangement set up when the two were only just born. Following the grief of her dear mother's death, Erizine overheard this proposal and left the royal palace in disgust. Erizine's older half-brother Prince Byron left the palace himself a few weeks later when he heard news of Erizine who was last seen north near Phencia's borders. Realising Erizine's mother had been buried at Spring to the north, Byron secretly left the palace with a few of his most trusted friends in search of his dear sister.

Along the way they banded up with a mercenary called Falck who wanted to lend his skills to aid the young prince. Thus Byron travelled north in the guise of Lord Byron of Aveyn. Then one day in a small village called Urnital there was the sound of battle and Byron woke up to see a bandit raid...

Ivan: Prince!! Bandits! Unbelievable, the royal palace of Aveyn had said that all the bandit groups had been disposed of but this is ridiculous!

[JacenPrime]

Byron: Sometimes I wish I would learn not to trust our intelligence....*sigh*Men, prepare for battle!

[VincentASM]

Ivan: Of course you highness, I'll wake that ruffian Falck up, what's he supposed to be doing sleeping when we PAID him to guard us all?
