Entry: 1

Dear friend,

I watched today as Luther, one of the seven kings of old, demanded that the all the villagers join his side or perish. However, the villagers thought not of the king's threats and denied his request. Tonight, Luther’s men raided our village, burning every house down and slaughtering many. I hid in the brush of the forest with my siblings. We were too frightened to move even when the king’s men left. Eventually, the surviving villagers aroused us.

One of the elders had heard rumors from a traveler that the old kings were afraid to wander into the Forest of Umber, which branched out into the many countries where strange creatures lived. The elders soon decided that we would head out into the Forest of Umber.

17 adults and 19 children survived the village raid where once there had been 70 in their small village.

Yesterday, we met many people who have been running from the seven kings of old and we have all set up camp together.

The adults spoke all night, trying to decide where to create a secret village in which we would all live. Before I fell asleep, I heard them utter that the center of the forest was the deepest part.

This morning, the elders announced that we would travel a rough path which leads to the center of the forest, where we are to create a new village, our new home. He said, we shall name the village: Novus Prognatus Spes or New Born Hope.

These entries were written by Luis the 5th village elder of Novus Porgnatus Spes. 200 years later, the Kings of Old continue their war, while the village of Novus Progantus Spes still is secretly hidden in the Forest of Umber, a legend to those who have never seen it. From time to time a creature seeking refuge from the war happens upon the village or so the stories say...

So now it is your turn. Will you help the resistance or will you help the Kings of Old by trying to find the legendary Village Novus Progantus Spes and punish the resistance?

Username: JUst Izy
Age: 15
Gender: female
Race: a mix of desert elf and wild elf
Companion: (optional) a gray wolf pup (loyal to Parum) named Lost Unus ("lost one" in Latin)
Preferred weapon: daggers; bow and arrow
Occupation (ninja, soldier, magician, traveler, etc.): hunter, healer and thief
Skill (healing, summoning, killing, etc.): healing and linguistic skills
Bio: Parum’s village was ransacked by a near by tribe when she was little. She was kidnapped by the neighboring tribe and enslaved. Their village elder ordered her to have the tattoos of her clan burned into her skin to show that she was the filth of a neighboring clan that had been conquered. The tribe’s people forced her to do rigorous jobs for anyone in the village. When a villager felt that she had done the job correctly, they would take her, tie her hands to a decaying wooden pole in the center of the village, for the next person to come and collect her.

During the winter, the hunters would collect her. They unknowingly taught her the art of hunting and using a bow. One warm summer night, a King of Old ransacked the tribe’s village because the elder had declined the King’s offer of joining his alliance. Out of pity, one of the King’s men let Parum live, untying her from the post in which kept her from leaving the village for so long.

Left alone, in the ruins of the burned down village, Parum wandered scavenging for food or a weapon in with which to hunt. Stumbling upon a bow but, no arrows and a dull dagger, she set out into the Forest of Umber.

Wandering alone she finds a gray wolf pup that is badly wounded and gently tends to it wounds to the best of her ability. Carrying the wolf pup, she continues to wander deeper and deeper into the forest where she is found by a Hermit who teaches her how to heal wounds, to speak in various languages and the art of using daggers. In exchange, she helps the Hermit by cleaning and cooking.

One night, a group of Old King's men came to the Hermit's home seeking shelter and food. They told the Hermit and Parum stories of the legendary village of Novus Progantus Spes. The night after they left the Hermit gave Parum a bag which contained a scroll, a sharpened set of daggers, and many objects that would help Parum heal herself and others that she might encounter in need of help. Before she left the Hermit told her that he was meant to protect the secret of the village, and it's where a bouts from the Old Kings and their men. But, he was too old to follow the rough path which leads to the secret village and so she was to deliver the essential message for him.
