This is a setting I plan on using for a game with my friends and I want to test it out first so I'm looking for players. Same basic rules all the other RPs have, magic is very rare but that doesn't mean you can't make a character that uses it. Please try to keep the character human, although I will allow other races from far off lands. Spoiler: Map Ignore the southern half for now. Frigia The region of Frigia varies from high mountain peaks to lush forests of coniferous pines, glaciers to warm coasts. It has four main cities and many smaller towns and villages but no unified government. Auris Formed by hunter tribes for mutual benefit during a long string of bad winters. The chieftains of the tribes formed an elder council to lead the people of Auris. Most buildings are made from wood due to stone being a luxury. The primary trade comes from their furs and superior wood crafting, traded mainly with Planais for crops as it is too cold to grow them here. The surrounding forest is rife with bandits preying on unwary travellers. The people of Auris are generally paler than the rest of Frigia and red eyes are not uncommon among them. There are many smaller towns and villages around the lands of Auris. Paraxis The foundations of the mighty port city of Paraxis are built upon an ancient city spanning the entire island, historical records show that while the current city has been around for thousands of years the ancient city was already there far before. Paraxis is renowned for its navy, always seeking to eradicate piracy throughout the Eixani Sea. The city is controlled by the Officio Mercantilla and its Administratum Mercantilla, while the navy is commanded by the Lord Admiral, appointed by the other naval commanders and the Officio Mercantilla. There are small outposts across the island providing lighthouses and many other places for ships to dock. Planais The city of Planais lies upon the Barr river flowing through the wind swept plains of central Frigia surrounded by many farms administrated by the Farmers Guild. King Turodas rules from his fortress in the centre of the city, for more than half a millennium he has guided the city and although he appears human, nobody knows what he truly is. Planais is surrounded by a magnificent stone wall, protecting the city within while leaving the farms undefended. Membership to the Guild is required for the city guard to protect the farms outside of the city, allowing them to keep their monopoly over farming. Sathis Set into the great Barix Canyon, the city of Sathis is protected by the high walls of the canyon and by huge stone walls built along both sides of the canyon. Huge gates open to allow large amounts of trade to pass along the Barr river, both north into Frigia and south into Barenixia, after a toll of course. The city is home to master craftsman of glass and stone with many beautiful stone carvings on display throughout the city. Many mansions are home to the large amount of wealthy merchants that choose to make their home here, the ruler of the city is chosen from among them. The current Merchant Baron is Erica de Grae who bought her way to the top. Graell Mountains There have been various rumours of witches in the mountains, mainly from miners working there and traumatised bandits. Religion Sathaln – The Ixian goddess of nature, a beautiful woman with the ears and tail of a wolf. Seathaes – The Ixian god of the ocean, great serpent of the sea. Avia – The Ixian goddess of the sky, great eagle of the mountain peaks. Grahil – The Ixian goddess of death, a woman of unrivalled beauty and charisma. Theris – The Ixian god of the hunt, a large man dressed in a Jaguar skin. Sear – The Ixian god of the sun, a blindingly bright light of pure white. Soris – The Ixian god of the night, an endless void of utter black. Plot will be dependant on where you decide to start, but all would eventually converge anyway.

That's right!
start it!

I think you should focus more on the ones you're currently involved in.... Like the City of Fakku RP

On another note, this RP isn't very clear. You posted religions but you didn't mention the region that worships the religion. What are the religions suppose to symbolize? Do they have an impact to the story? If so, is the impact big or small? Will the religion influence the behaviour of the characters? What sort of restrictions are present in each of the religions?

Please give more details. I can't even imagine my character profile even though this RP sounds a little interesting......

Think of them as patron to pray to for each day of the week, no one is particularly devout anymore. Frigia is the region that worships them, where the RP is set. And there was never anything stopping people from starting, it's been open from the start.

So is there any difference in the religions? Like perhaps those that worship Grahil is very negative and thinks of death as salvation or something?

Is there any distinction like that? And is there any particular special ability/trait/power that comes from being a worshiper of a certain god?

The gods don't really meddle in mortal affairs, so they don't grant followers powers or even communicate with them. Feel free to decide how your character personally worships them, there's no real organised worship of them, only myths and legends type stuff.
