PermalinkLore
Long, long ago when the ancient elementals of the world still held dominion over the many lands, the humans had harnessed an incredibile power. This power would come to be known as the Scarlet Fever, it gave it's victim a great potency for magic however in time it would rot the flesh, making the skin like paper. The elementals bonded together to rid the world of those infected with Scarlet Fever, committing genocide against the humans and all the other races affected by it. Any who remained were cast to the north, far beyond the tundra, to the lands left unmapped. There a great keep, red as blood was constructed as a prison for those who were deemed not deserving of death.
However that was in the old times, the elementals are gone, and the land is ruled by a diverse group of races. While each race is different in it's own right, all governments have banded together like their ancient leaders. They form a crusade against the Scarlet Hold, which in recent times has been delving out hordes of undead warriors, aided by the men of the north, and the undead legion. As a survivor of these hard times, who are you, and who do you fight for?

Races
I plan on having a great deal of races, this way you aren't restricted to a certain group. If you want to add a race, pm me some details, and I might put it in. Also, for the sake of simplicity there are no more than one nation per race.
Humans - 5' to 8' - Known for being a very adaptable race, if you want an all rounder character, with nothing special apply as this.
Spoiler
Orcs - 5' to 9' - Brutish, violent, they lack sense and often charge into battle with no fear of death, if you want a nearly unstoppable killing machine apply as an orc.
Spoiler
Wood Elves - 5' to 8' - Capable archers and druids, they are slender and like all elves rarely unattractive. If you like archery, trees, nature, whatever, apply as a wood elf.
Spoiler
High Elves - 5' to 7' - The self proclaimed most beautiful things, are artistic, dramatic, and deadly. They rarely charge into battle, using droves of archers or intense magic to kill their enemies. You want to mage it up? Apply as a high elf.
Spoiler
Dark Elves - 5' to 7' - The illusive Dark Elves are infamous for their harsh P.O.W camps, and malevolent nature. They make good swordsmen and women, as well as assassins. You like being sneaky, snide, and sexy? Apply as a Dark Elf.
Spoiler
Dwarves - 3' to 5' - Stocky, drunk, and hard as nails. Dwarves are keen engineers, and the only race to use simple firearms. If you like a good pint of ale, perhaps a flintlock at your waist, apply as a Dwarf.
Spoiler
Wights - [depends on the race before death] - Wights are the raised dead under control of a powerful necromancer. Those summoned by a victim of the Scarlet Fever are red in colour. You want to be a zombie, apply as a Wight.
Spoiler
Kobolds - 2' to 4' - Small, vile lizard people. Fairly weak, however they often serve under a dragonkin, if you like a finicky character who's a bit of a joke. Apply as a Kobold.
Spoiler
Dragonkin - 8' to 10' - The subject of a dragon and another race, through magic or otherwise. Often decked in heavy plate armour with giant maces, bastard swords, and other weapons, they make a hell of a foe. You want to be a dragon on two feet, apply as a Dragonkin.
Spoiler
Trolls - 7' to 9' - The relaxed, benevolent, wisecracking denizens of the sandy isles. They specialize in totem magic, and summoning small demons to do their bidding. If you be gettin' into the voodoo, apply as a troll.
Spoiler
Halfling - 3' to 5' - Normally peaceful, the halfling can make a fierce opponent. Nicknamed ankle biters by the orcs, they are quick with a hatchet, and dangerous with a crossbow. If you like LotR, apply as a halfling.
Spoiler
Khajiit - 5' to 7' - Furry feline people with tails, pointed ears, and claws. They make good hunters, and even better assassins. However they are diverse and occupy many roles in the world, if you like being covered in a fine pelt of fur, apply as a Khajiit.
Spoiler
Draenei - 5' to 8' - Righteous, political, and pious, the Draenei make good paladins, priests and other figures of justice and good. They mostly wield maces, flails, and other blunt weapons. If you like to be "The Good Guy" then play a Draenei. [/spoiler]
