Long ago, the country was inhabited by three, large kingdoms. The kingdom built around the sword of Excalibur, Excelos, the unification of fiefdoms, Archdom, and the religious center of the continent, Seraph.

For many centuries since it's founding, Seraph has always revered the God of Balance, Cyloea, from the first fanatics to the current citizens. Seraph punished heretics severely, and the innate spirituality of Seraph-born men produced many clerics and mages.

For decades, the continent was at peace. They worked together to keep the barbarian tribes at bay and mercenaries were rarely seen in the land.

However, that all changed one day when the benevolent Pontifex of Seraph changed. Utterly.

Previously, the embrace of other Gods were accepted in other countries and endured by Seraph, but one day, the Pontifex announced sudden war - to advocate their ideals of Cylocea by force onto the other countries.

Archdom fell quickly. With no organized military, only the small personal armies of lords, Archdom was quickly occupied through sudden invasion and their lack of preparations.

Excelos, however, was more decisive.

Diving headfirst into a war instigated by Seraph, they fought on all frontiers. Sword against magic, the Seraphs drove the Excelosean army of swordsmen and knights to ruin.

Losing the war, the King of Excelos needed a last resort.

Hiring all of the few mercenaries all over the land and gathering the elite of his army, the King pronounced them all members of a newly founded order - the Excelosean Rangers.

Tasked with defending the peasantry and performing surgical strikes at the Seraphean army, the King felt the men of his country would need to be protected in order for any development to happen at all if Excelos is going to endure.

[YOU NEED NOT READ MORE THAN THIS POINT]

Taking his Windsword, Excalibur, he quickly bids the team of the newly appointed Rangers to leave the capital and immediately begin their task of protecting the civilians of Excelos. As the last pillar collapses, five men in white robes warp in a flash of yellow light, as the last of Excelos' army rushes to the King's side...

"You have finally come, Pontifex," The King speaks in contempt. A large clang of Excalibur resonates throughout the trapped throne room.

"We have warned you many times. The worship of Cylocea is the only right religion - your worship of the original wielder of Excalibur, Lord Arthur, is not allowed in a world created by Cylocea."

"It does not matter what we worship beyond the boundaries of your Kingdom. You instigate a war - that throws off the balance of peace! - does that not make you an offender to Cylocea's goals? Has your corruption lead you to believe this is the right choice?"

"We will create a new world of balance from the ashes of our purge of heresy. Raise your sword, King Dewrys. You will regret you have never embraced Cylocea."

As the last words were uttered from the Pontifex's mouth, the five mages moved closer, raising their tomes as the final guards of King Dewrys raise their lances and swords...

[RULES]

-You start as a Ranger - you can start anywhere but the capital of Excelos or the country of Seraph.
-The roleplay starts one week after King Dewrys' last stand.
-Normal roleplaying and etiquette rules.
-Corrupt Rangers are allowed, I guess.
-This is set in a medieval time with magic.
-I will explain the Magic system:
Mages are born with innate 'ether' in their body. Tomes and staffs are instruments of magic made with premade effects. Mages use ether as a source of energy to use the tomes or staffs. EXAMPLE: Fire mage is born with ether in his body. He gets a fire tome. He uses his ether to use the tome, which then produces fire.

Name: Alrach Talyer
A.ge: 26
Appearance: Alrach boasts dark red hair of normal length, which he never keeps tamed. His dark green eyes, however, contradict the colour of his hair, bearing wisdom learned in battle. He wears red shoulder plates over a dark grey cape, which reaches down to behind his knees. Under the cape, he wears a red chestplate, and under that, a swamp green tunic fastened by a belt. He wears white, baggy leggings to the knee, which under that, are his brown boots with red guards strapped onto it.
Equipment: Two lances. One is a javelin tied onto the back of his armor, sticking out from behind the cape, and the other is a long partisan which he wields by hand. In the belt, he has a small bag containing various things such as extra rations.
Location: The outskirts of the Excelosean capital.
Biography: Before he joined the army, Alrach was already seen as something as a weaponsmaster. Conditioned by his father, a blacksmith, Alrach was raised in an environment of weaponry. Though the nation of Excelos was based around the sword, Alrach found favour in the lance. Taking his lance and javelin to the army, he was, at first, ridiculed for using the lance as a footsoldier. But then, after successive battles against Seraph, he was found to be useful where swords aren't. And so, he was promoted.
However, soon after his promotion, he was called upon to become a Ranger. Loyal to the King, he takes his lance and travels vigilantly all over Excelos, seeking out the other Rangers while protecting the peasantry from Seraph and the brigands.

Name: Redikoz Cortexil
A.ge: 23
Appearance: Tall, with an uncut hair or beard, he also has a few scars. His eyes, if you can see then through the hood that he generally wears, are a greenish greyish colour. He normally wears a cloak and a hood to cover up his face, for reasons that will be seen in his bio.
Equipment: A broadsword from his family manor, the clothes he wears, a ring with his family symbol on it and about a weeks supply of bread.
Location: A hunting lodge once owned by his family before the fall of Archdom, it's also near a river.
Biography: Born into the Cortexil family of Archdom, he has played games of cloak-and-dagger for as long as he can remember. His family often frequented battles with the Gerfilt family, a family in control of land a few kilometres east of his family's land. His life went on at about the same rate as any Archdomian noble lucky enough to survive that long, until the day that Seraph attacked.
At the time of the attack, he was on a hunting trip and he ran into some of their patrols, and, seeing as six-on-one only works in the old stories, he fled back to his family manor. When he got there, he saw it was in flames, so he went in to help his father, Lord Darikinth Cortexil. He found his father bleeding and dying, and some of the Seraphians burst in. He grabbed a sword from the corpses of one of the fallen soldiers, and fought. He felled two of the soldiers, who were caught by surprise, but was wounded by one who snuck up behind him.
He awoke tied to a horse heading to a prison, but he somehow escaped. He thought that he saw an arrow land in one of the soldiers, but he just ran when he escaped. He eventually found his way back to his family's land, and was rotating through all the houses, lodges, the ruined manor and occasionally inns in villages owned by his family, trying to arouse rebellion while at the same time trying to survive.

[I'll start]

It was hard to believe that Alrach had already been a ranger for one week. His lance stabbed into the ground, he looked around the outskirts of the Excelosean capital, often returning later to look for more survivors. However, today, Alrach had picked the wrong time to visit the outskirts of the capital.

Before he knew it, a small group of Seraphian reinforcements, wielding lances of themselves, called out to Alrach.

"...You! What do you think you're doing here?"

However, when Alrach turned around, his armor immediately gave away his allegiance.

Barring their teeth, two men armed with lances began to charge, with one mage at the back following them.

Before Alrach could speak, he was forced to fight. Pulling his lance out of the earth, he immediately parried the first strike, causing his opponent losing control of their gravity. Before they could recover, Alrach drove his lance through his assailant's chest. However, he was not fast enough for the next lanceman.

Catching him by the back of his tunic, the Seraphian dragged Alrach towards the mage, who was channeling his ether through a tome which was made to kill.

However, Alrach overpowered the Seraphian, sweeping him with his partisan, before frantically drawing his javelin and throwing it at the mage.

Hitting him in his lower stomach, the mage howled. Loudly. Though the city was desolate and full of death, it was still uncommon for one to hear a scream, as loud as his.

Quickly executing the fallen Seraphian, Alrach quickly retrieved his Javelin, and then he ran towards the forest to make an escape.

Hiding out in the hunting lodge, I saw two armored men walking by, looking around for something. Seraphians.

I grabbed my sword, cursed under my breath, and stabbed one in the back before he had time to react.

The other one drew his sword, and I cut off his hand quickly enough. He screamed in pain, and I knocked him unconcious, running to the river.

Name: Levand Harnald

A.ge: 32

Appearance: 5, 9" tall, Levand has dark black hair that has grown for an extended period of time, falling in filthy locks down the side of his head and neck. A full beard covers the lower portion of his face, and any visible parts of his eyes or face are tanned and covered with grime and caked dust. He is a wiry man, his figure usually covered by armor and cloth. Days of travel and years as a sellsword gives him a tired, grizzled look.

Equipment: A wooden shield reinforced with both a ring of iron and a large ramming stud in the center. It's painted a dull brown; a balanced but worn steel arming sword with a leather-wrapped hilt, sharpened through careful time on a grindstone; a simple iron dirk for use with a sword; a worn leather satchel with rations, coinpurse, and pencil and inkfeather.
Location: Aboard the last wagon train in and out of a town south of Excelos, through the hill routes.

Biography: Starting his life out as a mercenary, Lev used his training as an army sergeant to give him knowledge of sword combat and battle. Anything else has been forgotten in the depths of his mind.

Other stuff: None.

I find the river, and run upstream.

I know that there's a bridge around here somewhere...

I find the bridge, but there are Seraphians on it. What is there to do now but go in the river?

I arrive on the other side of the forest, and I spot a bridge leading away from a domain infested of Seraphians. However, a large number of guards were deployed there to make sure none escaped from the proximity of the capital...

I look to my left, and I spot a young man running along the water.

(I'm near the border)

Redikoz

I turn around, and see someone wearing armor with a javelin. Another one of them, maybe?

I jump into the river for defence.

I noticed he appointed me as a hostile - Rude.

Looking for evidence, I stare at him, showing my red and green clothing, compared to the yellow and white armor of the Seraphians.

I see that he's not a hostile, and try to swim over to him. But the river was quite strong, and I ended up waving for help.

Sighing to myself, I weave in between the trees before going down to the coast, looking to my right to see if the Seraphian guard noticed anything.

Nothing.

I stab my lance into the sand and extend my hand, before pulling the newly found ally onto the coast.

Looking around, I ask him.

"What are you doing around the capital? It's not safe around here while the Seraphians continue to hunt us all down. I'm obliged to see you to safety, as a Excelosean Ranger."

"Excalibur? The Windsword is imbued with magic, no ordinary means can even hope to scratch the blade," I mutter.

"What is your name? And can you fight? I'm going to fight my way across the bridge and draw the Seraphian forces from the farming towns as best as I can."

"Redikoz Cortexil, head of house Cortexil now that my father died. Not that that matters anyway. But about the bridge, you'll literally be throwing your life away! I might as well die for a noble cause," I said, taking out some bread, "you can't kill a bunch of enemy troops on an empty stomach."

"You underestimate me, a Excelosean Knight, and yourself. But if you are so concerned for your life, then you can just wait here and watch me clear the path."

I begin to raise myself my dignity, watching the Seraphian guards for a pattern.

"Kill their men in one place, and they'll send extras there to oppress the farmers in that town even more. Unless your plan is to spread them out thin, and then attack their capital... That's not a bad idea, actually!"

Lev's heart beat against his chest as his mount danced around at the blades flashing around its hooves; Seraphian poles were the worst, with hooked heads designed to hamstring legs as thick as an ox. Again and again, the mountain pony whickered and spun around the smug Seraphians who were circling closer.

Fighting to take control of the reins, Lev slashed frantically at the lunging spears, parrying them away from his only chance of escape. He could not look away at those snarling faces behind metal helmets, chanting to their gods.

In the distance, he could still feel the heat of impure flames flying amongst the wagon train, burning families and friends to ash. But Lev could not stop to look-- his own life would always prevail before others who could not fight.

The enemy was getting reckless, trying to close in too fast and leaving gaps in their advance. Lev could feel a shock run through his saddle as his horse caved a man's chest in with its back hooves. That man would die, trapped in the metal cage of his armor. Another enemy shoved his way through the wave of pikes, a heavy-set knight who yelled a war-cry as he charged forwards. Wielding a francisca in each hand, he lunged at the horse's throat. Lev shifted his mount sideways, dodging the overhead swing of the axe-wielder and leaving him open. Lev promptly bashed his shield into the side of his head, and the axe-wielder collapsed onto the ground, his neck snapped in two.

Levand could not wait any longer, parts of the Seraphian spears wavering back as they spotted the axeman lying in the dirt. Digging his boots into its side, his mount rushed forwards at the startled circle of spearman, running them over as they flinched, spears no longer poised.

And so, the mercenary sped into the forest, urging his mount back to Excelos, the only way he could go. Behind him, the screams of the dead cried as a robed man chanted into his ancient tome, his words wreaking death and destruction.
