So earlier in the Cbox, someone mentioned something about Lander Wardens, and it sparked an idea in my head. Here is what I have thus far of the Event proposal I have been writing up. Any suggestions are welcome!
Plot summary -
Word of a league of fighters comprised of People of The Land Wardens has reached Londinium. The Brotherhood of Righteous Fire is a group of Wardens seeking to cleanse the Eastern Continent of any corruption, and have recently taken their crusade to the Unfounded Kingdom, trying to stop any corrupt influence in the area by force, trying to defeat and Heretics and strike fear and doubt in the hearts of those who use the powers of corruption. They understand that their enemy can never die, as they are immortal Adventurers, but they understand the power of fear and plan to kill the Heretics as much as they deem necessary to discourage any who support the use of corruption.
Over the past two years, the Brotherhood has been gaining strength and numbers, preparing for their Heretic Hunt. As many of its members are from England, they first began hunting in the Unfounded Kingdom on a small scale to prevent themselves from gaining too much attention, but they have managed to gain the support and praise of a few People of The Land throughout the UK with stories of their heroic deeds and selfless hunts.
Major Characters -
Solomon Kain, the leader of the Brotherhood of Righteous Fire. A fierce, stoic Englishman who leads the crusade against corruption. His bloodlust has spawned infamy in his name, and many speculate that the Brotherhood is merely an excuse to allow him to kill and slaughter in the name of good.
Class: Warden
Level: 80
Subclass: Berserker
Level: 40
Race: Human
Affiliation: Brotherhood of Righteous Fire (Leader)
Face Claim: Father Gascoigne, Bloodborne
Before founding and leading the Brotherhood, Solomon’s beloved fell victim to Heretics under the influence of Miasma. Seeing her tattered corpse and disheveled state, he swore to do all he could to stop anyone from feeling the pain he felt as he saw the bloody corpse of the woman he loved. For over a year, he kept his word by leading a group of Wardens, the Brotherhood of Righteous Fire. Believing that only People of The Land could understand the pain of losing a loved one, Solomon forbid the recruiting of Adventurers, and the knowledge that their deaths would be permanent drove the Brotherhood to fight fiercely to the bitter end. After over a year of fighting the forces of Miasma, Solomon began to fall under the influence of Miasma Corruption, and now his crusade has become one driven by bloodlust.
Suggested Actions -
This section is for directions that can be taken in response to the Brotherhood's crusade. While these are the actions I have written up here, they are by no means the only options.
A. Combat
A1. Attack the Brotherhood in small skirmishes, taking out as many Wardens as possible around the Unfounded Kingdom to weaken their forces.
A2. Massive assault, basically resulting in war between Londinium and the Brotherhood of Righteous Fire. (Locked as the location of their stronghold is currently unknown)
B. Diplomacy
B1. Trying to convince the Brotherhood that bloodshed can be avoided and trying to stop their crusade through peaceful means.
B2. The "Shiroe Route" as we in the Cbox have taken to calling it - Let's be total dicks and find the best way to force the Brotherhood to stop their crusade. Crush their dreams while you're at it and give the enemy no room to squirm!
C. Espionage
C1. Interrogate a Warden of the Brotherhood and try to get some answers!
C2. Stealthily try to follow a band of Brotherhood Wardens back to their stronghold and find their base of operations.
I will be posting more as I write out more (or receive more suggestions) of the plot, but I wanted to get this up here so everyone could give feedback. The goal of the event would be whatever we all decide upon, whether we hope to try and talk the Brotherhood into accepting the Londinium Heretics, or if we see it necessary to fight back. If this event gains enough interest, I will try to hold a meeting among the significant characters (mostly the guild masters and other de facto "Leaders" of the city) of Londinium to discuss what direction we want to go in. I would like everyone to shape this plot as it unfolds, and I will be trying to keep up with what happens regarding it. For example, if the event gets the support of the players and it begins, then I will add the Brotherhood's Wardens to the Custom Bestiary and any Brotherhood Wardens killed in a thread with the [Crusade] tag could lead to Solomon believing that Londinium is not to be trusted.
