"Into the far north we will take you... as far as we can by the means of computer roleplaying"
The far north is a harsh place. The pine and spruce trees around you, one wrong move, one bad encounter, and your life is over. People are few and far between, villages are just clusters of one or more families trying to eke out a meager existence. Metal tools are rare, bought from foreign traders for the furs of our land, and coveted above all else. Having a collection of axes makes you a rich, rich man... and one others might want to murder for that wealth... will you survive?
Basing this roleplay off of the rather underground roguelike UnReal World RPG, this is a roleplay set in a low fantasy land inspired by the Finnish/Scandinavian iron age. This roleplay is fantasy with everything fun stripped away, with all thats left being the story of people trying to eke out a meager existence in the harsh northlands.
=Rules= 0. Admin word is law. This supersedes all other rules. 1. Things that involve NPC's will have my intervention in order to maintain some semblance of hardship. 2. Don't get banned from Roblox with your posts. 3. The North is a hard land and a harsh mistress. Death can come at any moment, accept it if its cold hands choose you.
=Guidelines= 1. Hunting is hard. You likely won't encounter big game every time you go out, and you're even less likely to make kills. Don't complain if you come back empty-handed. 2. Food spoils. It does, deal with it. Preservation is key to survival. 3. Do your research into axes and knives, different ones are good for different jobs. Broad axes and splitting mauls for example for example.
==Cultures of the North== =Northern Tribes= -Kuikka Tribe -Owl Tribe -Seal Tribe
=Southern Tribes= -Kaumolaiset -Kiesseläiset -Reemiläiset
=Coastal Tribes= -Driikiläiset -Sartolaiset -Koivulaiset

| Yeah, if only I wasn't writing with end-of-school-year burnout, four hours of sleep, and depression >.>. Repost will be up by tomorrow, try not to freeze/starve/drown/get mauled by a sheep before then. |

| Eh, this is okay. But I could collab with you with the remake, with me involved in reviewing, expanding the background, probably adding a better plot and adding descriptions for tribes. |

| @h4xxol That would be an interesting idea for a RP if you incorporate Teutonic Knights, Poland, Denmark, and Novgorod and you got yourself an interesting Northern Crusade RP |

@TDO that's actually a really good idea, we tried to make an arabic crusader RP but it ended up not working at all because of how slipshod it was. |

| @jcarson I actually did have the idea recently for that kind of RP but from an interest check no one seemed interested. Also now we have like a 1300's-1500's type of one going on of some sort. |

| Well if you want to collab on a Northern Crusade RP I will be glad to work on that. I know a lot about history and the crusade itself so it may work out if we work together and not bicker and argue about religious issues. |
