Trailer: "The Sands of Time" (Attn: Fatal Terrain)

Tarlachia

The sun rises above the horizon, it's rays of light shining upon the lush green forests of Tarlachia. A bird flies into view, "tagging" the camera along with its flight as it swoops upward above the clouds. Once above the clouds, it dives down toward the earth once more. A line of travelers can be seen far below, emerging from the forests. To the east lies a city now basking in the early morning rays of the sun.

......Tarlachia... A nation of many wonders......

The same bird is now seen in flight in the city, dodging easily the various buildings and the figures that step from them. The camera turns sideways to the bird, allowing the audience to view the granduer of the palace through brief glimpses of alleyways. It's architecture is gothic, yet has some touches of modernism.

......A nation of pride......

Human government workers bearing the dragon emblem on their uniforms work diligently in their jobs.

The scene cuts out to view farmers tilling their fields, some by traditional tools, others with telekinesis.

The scene cuts out once more to an elven smith pounding with a hammer into a sword. The camera turns to encounter another elf stringing a bow with care.

......Yet, the time has come for an ancient power to rise from the mists......

Sigrun is seen walking with elves from the forest. His face is purposeful, as if he is about to undertake a great mission.

......Order is to be restored. Some will resist......

Brief flashes of small skirmishes is seen, mostly between vampires and elves.

......And some will embrace the changes......

Skadi, Zero, Stephen, Liam, Aeris are all seen moving about their daily business in the capital city of Tarlachia.

Sigrun is seen standing before Arleni and the current President of Tarlachia. The President holds a scroll that is opened carefully. He reads:

"Before the citizens of Tarlachia, we stand here today to pass the torch of leadership from old to new. May Tarlachia be handled with care, may its leader remain benevolent of his people, and may he stand with wisdom, courage, and honor. Today, in recognition of an ancient line of royalty, Tarlachia is now offered in peace, to the command of Sigrun Greenwood."

The President lowers the scroll and looks at Sigrun. He asks in a clear voice, which is carried to the masses by the wind.

"Do you accept your destined responsibility, Sigrun Greenwood?"

Sigrun replied in an equally clear voice.

"I accept."

A staff is handed to him, indicating the passage of power from one to the next. Sigrun accepts it and steps up to stand next to the President and turns to the masses. A loud cry of approval is heard as he does so.

......The Golden Age of Tarlachia has arrived......

Hey I'd like to ask for a spot in this thread.

Ah yes, I was wondering if you'd see this. You're welcome to join. Perhaps, if you prove yourself based on the established criteria, you will get an invite into our region? If so, it'll be a good exposure to a good number of us who RP constantly on NS.

Tarl, feel free to use Zero and Aeris in this if you wish to. They're under your control while I'm in National Service. Well, partially, I might always come back every now and then. And you know KT also has partial control of Aeris :p

How could I miss something that involves where my nation has been habitating for the past while. Do you think I should bring in Sapphire because she is somewhat familar with Maximus, or do you think Angel because of the connection once more?

Hmm...good question ATG...perhaps bringing both in? It doesn't matter to me who you bring in. However, keep in mind that Maximus died, and returned as an elf. Old friends/allies who don't know already, won't know who Sigrun Greenwood is.

i am new and am going to be joining this thread here is my characters stats
(note works for a very anti-elf)

Eric Droggins
Werewolf
(dont know what age everybody else is so I'll leave that and edit it when I find out.)
Is employed by the Corps of Werr. It is a totally werewolf controlled army that is basically a high class mercenary armie. What the Corps do is assanate any elf they can find and make up reasons for it latter. The last elf to enter the border of Werrs domain was assainated with in 10 minutes. Although the corps are watched carefully by there rivals the Giants of Werr to see if they slip up. Any werewolf to befriend an elf is shuned by the entire kingdom and is forced to become an outsider and is not allowed inside ever again unless he sneaks in. Word is that King Werr hired mercenarys to kill off the last betrayer. A special note is that the elfs have never done them any harm at all and are so courtiess when they send letters. Nobody knows what they did to be exterminated but rules are rules.

He is brown haired in both everyday life and in his werewolf form. Has brown eyes as well. Is obviously very very fit. Loves to write and is rumored to write for the newspaper under a false name. Besides that he loves animals and is a regular at "The Tavern"

So, your guy's gonna be a friend to the elves in this thread or a hostile force?

Well, I think I will bring in Sapphire. She is wise and would recognize a bit of Maximus in Sigrun, but would not know and therefore he would have to tell her. Besides, Angel, had more to do with Valient's Alexander.

Hes gonna start out as a trader who befriends them but then is going to start to like them even more and will start to help them out and I thought we could maybe have it go into King Werrs border were hes suppost to help kill them off but he dosn't he defends them.
