SUMMER

Angkar: Wet season. Precipitation is common during the late afternoon and evening hours. Vegetation grows significantly during the summer, but flooding is a danger due to the monsoons that ravage the country. The rainforest sees evenly distributed rainfall throughout the season.

Ashoka: Desert: Extremely hot and dry. Violent, heavy downpours following long dryspells. Jungle: Hot and humid with frequent, violent rainstorms.

Morrim: Relatively hot and dry, but with a chance of thunderstorms from time to time. The heat may cause forest fires.

Soto: Hot and humid, tree cover is dense while ground growth is restricted. Thunderstorms see the most amount of rainfall during the season, and it can be very windy. On occasion, there are flash floods that can destroy homes and farms built on flood plains.

WHAT IS ELENLOND?

Elenlond is an original free-form medieval fantasy RPG set on the continent of Soare and the Scattered Isles, which are located to the south in the Sea of Diverging Waters. The four chief nations of the western side of the world—Ashoka in northern Soare, Soto in western Soare, Morrim in eastern Soare, and Angkar, the largest of the Scattered Isles—continue to experience growth and prosperity since the fall of the Mianorite gods, although power struggles within the countries—or outside of them—continue to ensue.

  • CURRENT EVENTS

    Angkar: To honour the reinvigoration of the ancient city of Mondrágon, the majestic Queen Eulalia has permitted the opening of a Coliseum where people from around the world and all walks of life can test their combat skills against one another. Many have already done battle in search of honour, glory, prizes and money.

    Ashoka: In an otherwise peaceful times, Ashokans are beset with the relatively minor inconveniences of wandering undead and occasionally-aggressive giant rock worms. There has also been some controversy over the recent re-legalisation of human sacrifice.

    Morrim: Rumour has it that Emperor Leofric de Hollemark is mustering forces for a war. Though the threat from Soto’s forests has passed, the forces previously employed in watching the forest now linger at the border. Rumours also circulate of a small group that has been dispatched to make contact with the tribes of the Do’suul Mountains.

    Soto: The Sotoans have defeated the fey and liberated themselves from Méadaigh’s oppression! Preliminary efforts have been made at rebuilding the city of Madrid, which had been captured at the beginning of the war. However, the Sotoans are hindered from recovery famine. Méadaigh’s magic caused summer to persist in the Erth’netora Forest through the winter. Her power has been withdrawn and the plants die as if preparing for winter – even though it is now summer. The Sotoans must sustain off what food they can get, what creatures they can kill and what can be imported into the city from Morrim and Angkar.

    Name - Yangin Kanruh
    Age - 62
    Gender - Male
    Alignment - Chaotic Evil
    Social Class - Refugee
    Occupation - Formerly a guard of Eldahar, now unemployed.
    Race - Human
    Weapons - A set of rope gloves used in the practice of his martial art. They extend up to around the elbows and lessen the impact of punches on his hands, elbows, and forearms, but not on the target.

    Physical Appearance - Yangin stands at 5'9" and is of a solid, and rather stocky build. Constant rigorous training throughout a large portion of his lifetime has left him with an impressive musculature, which he has even maintained in his advancing age. His skin is swarthy, a sort of olive in color, and his head is completely shaven. His face sports quite a lot of hair, however: His sideburns, beard, and heavy soul patch were all once jet black, but have since more than begun to fade to gray. His eyes, dark brown, almost black, burn like smoldering coals, like a raging fire still trying to come back. His flesh is scarred in many places, marks from previous cuts and burns lingering behind on his skin, the marks of a battle-ridden past.

    Personality - Yangin was always an aggressive and "free-spirited" child, and he never changed when he grew up. As a guard he was often a bit of a bully, treating the citizens rather harshly, and sometimes with blatant cruelty when they were the least bit out of line. However, when it came to practicing the art of combat, he was quite disciplined. But that fire, far from fizzling out in his old age, burns as strong as ever. Now he has channeled all of that hot-headedness and rage into a cause: gaining a place in Soto, no matter how much forcing it takes to do it.

    History - Yangin grew up in a normal home in Eldahar, a military family. He was always rather rambunctious as a child, an attitude that carried into his military career. Due to his attitude he was never able to advance far, always remaining in Eldahar on guard duty. Here he remained for several decades, until the fateful day when the Dark Conquest found its way to Eldahar. A horrible battle ensued, and the rest is history. Very few Ashokans survived the onslaught, Yangin being among them. Fearing retribution for resisting from both Orion and Andromalius, he discarded his Eldahar weapons and armor, fleeing the country with the clothes on his back and a couple lengths of rope. After many months and travel he made it to Soto. He was one of the few to do so. Now he stays at the Refugee Camp, his anger towards the guilds who refuse to allow them to stay growing constantly, fighting to gain acceptance.

    First Five Abilities

    Simple Skill: Physical Fitness - Yangin is in excellent shape for his age, having put a lot of work into physical prowess for the majority of his life. He is therefore capable of performing at the same level of a person half his age.

    Simple Skill: Muscle Memory - Yangin is highly practiced at a martial art resembling Muay Thai. Therefore he is highly proficient at the offensive and defensive techniques involved, such as punches, kicks, blocks, and evasion. He is also adept at delivering physical blows with his elbows, knees, forearms, and shins without accidentally incurring injury to himself in the process.

    Simple Skill: Hardened - Yangin is well-practiced in the art of taking a hit, and can shrug off most light-to-moderate physical impacts as long as they do not strike his head or groin.

    Simple Skill: Conditioning - Through the physical conditioning required for his particular martial art, Yangin's bones in his hands, forearms, elbows, feet, skins, and knees have been hardened to twice the hardness of a normal person's bones in those areas. They are more resistant to breaking and add a bit more force to impacts made using them.

    Simple Spell: Stoneskin - By focusing an internal ki, Yangin can harden his skin to the level of an average rock for the duration of two posts. It can be used multiple times in one thread, but requires a recharge time of two full posts.
