Love: the Forbidden Arts the OOC Thread



It is the Fifth Rise to the Seventh Son of King Marion and the people of Rudaul have seen better times. The original King Marion was a savior to his people when he sent out his templars to destroy a threatening mage imperium. He put forth a law that all mages are to be sent to monasteries where they could learn whilst under the watchful eye of the templars.

Mages were, and still are feared beings, many people considering them different than themselves, like they were abominations. Others revered them for their powers and the beauty and prestige that went along with it. A high lord for one of the many cities of Rudaul was just that kind of person. He was respected by his peers, but the people he governed were another story. He was a greedy man, never really caring for his people. He was all about riches, prestige, and looks. When he had heard that the mages could be "hired out", he was all over it.

Many believed he had his own mini monastery with all the mages and templars running about his castle. His people were terrified of them all and when the lord was found dead one day, they didn't know whether to rejoice or run in fear.

The mages were blamed of course and the mages all across Rudaul began disappearing, even some in the monastery; the one place they could call 'home' was no longer safe. Templars were ordered to bring mages back to the monastery for trial, an unfair at that. Those that were caught using forbidden magic or resisted were to be killed on sight. Some templars follow the order right to the mark while others sympathize with the mages, and others see them as dangerous vermin to be rid of.

Some mages did not fear what was happening and remained in the monasteries, and after being tried, some are being offered redemption, or a "second chance", by hunting down the growing number of apostates. Others ran knowing that their trials would not be fair, they were scared, or maybe they were a little less than harmless.

Monastery mages and templars konw that relations are forbidden, but what will happen during these 'witch hunts' with both groups so far away from the eye of the church? Will the killer be found among the renegade mages, or are they being framed?
