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.

    Barnabé Régis Béringer; Consulting Inspector
    Topic Started: Aug 3 2014, 04:06 PM (111 Views)
    Inspector Béringer


    Name – Barnabé Régis Béringer
    Age – 2 months
    Gender – Male
    Alignment – Lawful Neutral
    Social Class – Toy
    Occupation – Consulting Inspector
    Race – Unknown
    Nationality – Sotoan
    Weapons – None

    Physical Appearance – Currently, Inspector Béringer is a small (approximately half a foot) woolen knitted and stuffed toy. His skin tone is consistent with pink dyed wool and he has black short cropped "hair", simple facial features and undergarments woven on to his body. He wears small woolen clothes that were made for him when he was created, a simple shirt and pair of trousers, over which he wears a scrap of hempen cloth which acts as cloak. He has also somehow managed to aquire a small, wide-brimmed leather hat and pair of boots, which come in handy because his legs kept getting wet.

    His facial features, like his body, are magically animated and will change to reflect his mood. When talking his mouth opens, but only on his face, there is no split on the head of the dool to simulate it.

    Personality – Inspector Béringer is of the belief that he is one of the greatest deductive minds to have ever walked the planet, and happily ignores the increasing pile of evidence to the contrary. While generally quite aimiable, he is posessed of a sharp wit which he uses to condescend when he feels someone is being paticularly stupid. He is possessed of a remarkable self confidence which means that he explains away or completely disregards his failings at his job, the facts he has misinterpreted, and the resentment of those he is assisting. In fact, he routinely constructs his own narrative of what is happening around him and follows that.

    Béringer is something of a romantic and frequently becomes infatuated with the women he works with. He also is a soft touch with children and happily plays with them, as long they don't rip his stitching.

    He loves to solve mysteries and puzzles, and will happily throw himself into the job. In fact, when he doesn't have a mystery to solve, he gets restless and turns to drink, which does absoultely nothing to him except gets him wet and makes him slightly more flammable. He enjoys theatre although he's never been, frequently asks for tea and then never touches it, and likes animals even though they often attack him.

    He is aware of his limitations as a toy, and regarding the actual capturing of suspects to be outside his capabilities and responsibility. Despite his fascination with mysteries, how exactly he came into being is not something he is curious about, and in fact he thinks his background is quite mundane.

    History – Once upon a time, there was a very special girl who loved her dog, Jacques. He was a corgi, and she had known him since he was a puppy. Jacques was the silliest, lovliest dog that she had ever known, but one day, Jacques went missing. The girl went out every day to look for him, but she couldn't find him anywhere. It was a mystery! The girl had read in a book that there were certain people who solved mysteries, so she asked a guard if he could help, but he said he didn't know any inspectors*. When she asked her mother, she said that she would find one for her. A week later, she gave her a box, and in that box was Inspector Béringer! But he wasn't a real Inspector, he was just a toy. So that night, the girl sat outside and wished upon all the stars she could find that Inspector Béringer would come to life and find Jacques. When she went to bed, something curious happened as the girl slept peacefully. As if by magic, Inspector Béringer came to life, and knowing there was a mystery to be solved, set off to find Jacques.

    Inspector Béringer worked hard for many weeks. It's difficult to search a city for a lost corgi when you're very small and cats keep trying to hunt you. But no alleyway went unvisited, no bush unsearched, no dog-catcher unbroken into. After criss-crossing the city and back again, he eventually stumbled across Jacques living in a park a few streets away from his house. Victorious, Inspector Béringer rode Jacques all the way home, the corgi yapping happily all the way. The girl gave him and Jacques a great hug, having been so sad thinking they had both been lost forever, and he regaled her with tales of his adventures. He had solved his first mystery, but his travels showed him that the world is full of enigmas in need of solving, so now every day he sets out to bring in the criminals who would do wrong in this world, his trusty corgi steed by his side, and returns home each night to tell the girl the tales of the city.

    *He also said some rather profane words.

    First Five Abilities

    • Toy Man - The Inspector is a toy, and has all the benefits and drawbacks that come with it. For instance, his light weight, small size and soft body means he can move in perfect silence should he need to, and has many more places to hide. He can survive falls from great heights, and he cannot be crushed, simply squished, resuming his normal shape afterwards. Downsides include an inability to open doors, the risk of being blown away by strong gusts of wind or carried away by water, an inability to lift heavy objects or exert much in the way of force at all.
    • Tough – For some reason, the Inspector is made of sterner stuff than most. While he is made of simple wool, his enigmatic nature means that his stitching will not unravel if caught on a branch or twig, and simple everyday environmental scrapes that would pull the stuffing out of a lesser doll do not effect him. He is still at risk of a more focused attack though, a sharp knife or flame wielded against him would be more than enough to tear him apart.
    • Corgimancy – Jacques is a reliable and trusty steed. He happily lets the Inspector ride him through the city, and will come to his aid to defend him against those that would harm him, such as cats and magpies.
    • The Stench of Mystery – The Inspector has an uncanny knack for finding puzzles to solve, often stumbling across them.
    • Dispossessed – If the Inspector is ever destroyed beyond repair, he will simply take control of the nearest suitable toy.
