hf mid 20s trace powers

Closest thing to a rightful queen Obrith has, yet so far away from being able to wield that power (and doesn't want it)

At first, toward the obvious: she will become the single, unifying ruler of the land, and bring peace and order. Or will she?

hm mid 20s modest skill

Bumbling hero

In search of heroic glory, he will stumble toward greatness, helped along by his friends. Eventually, after some great loss, he will truly become what he is meant to become.

Lord of Chaos

Rotating slot. Starts with Guyan Soval

A villain you slowly grow to understand, and perhaps even agree with (note: we need some POVs to show how shitty the priesthood really is, besides Emma). Just when you're almost on his side, and he's almost got what he wants...it all goes to shit, and a new Lord takes his place.

hm early 20s low-level mage

Whiny, entitled nerd-lord. Will be beaten and battered and eventually enslaved by a barbarian warrior woman, and slowly, painfully unlearn the ways of wimpiness.

hf a18 super-powerful

The Chosen One, the most powerful wielder of the Flame in generations. She will be ruthlessly used as a pawn by the real powers in her faith. Perhaps she may yet become a player.

hm a13 real strong

Secret bastard, heir to the Brinnish throne. Wants to be a true knight. Initially heading toward the obvious: becoming a true knight, and a worthy king. But is that where this story is going?

hm early 40s accomplished fighter and captain

Fallen soldier turned mercenary captain. Helps Rulenka get her footing, but his motives are his own. Motley crew of merry men (and women) help him out, but there's drama. Where's he headed?

em youngish, quite powerful with fire magic and rogueing

When he's not womanizing, or stealing, or starting fights...he doesn't exist. Constantly on the run, the Malevolence never far behind, he gets roped up in a heroic quest to save a lost lady...which soon gets thrown off the rails, and he gets caught up in the winds of change. He's haunted by a kiss She should never have given him, and in Her has found someone he could finally love more than himself. But where is She?

First Among Equals

Rula works with the Fallen Stars to secure her realm. Action is close to the bare metal as castles fall, lords die, and rebel sympathizers find their way to a shallow hole in the ground.

Rula is increasingly stymied by bureaucratic pressure to distance herself from the mercenaries and essentially sideline herself. She doesn't have enough power to break free just yet, and plays the best hand she can.

The usurper King of Brinn offers her a hand in marriage, and with it, power to sweep away the bureaucrats, the Church, and everything else in her path. Decision time!

Damsel in Distress

Cassian and co. are dispatched to save their lost lady. He whines a lot, but with the help of his elf friend, gains a tiny foothold of trust and respect.

The journey is hard, and wears his pitifully small resolve down to nothing. He bitches and moans, and suffers, and learns a few things. His only friend is the elf, who never gives up hope.

It all falls apart. The party is shattered by a Kurnish attack. He is taken prisoner. There are deaths. He doesn't know who survived. He is now a slave of a Kurnish warrior woman who wants to force him to teach her magic.

A Knight's Duty

Rycar tryhards his way into Honn's pity and earns a squireship. It's all wine and roses at first.

The actual day-to-day of being a knight becomes more apparent. He is increasingly disenchanted.

He confronts Honn over the moral wrongness of their mission. Honn insists it's more complicated than that, but can't convince the young hero. My way or the highway, he says, and Rycar chooses the highway. He frees Reine, their prisoner, and embarks on a quest to return her to safety.
