//OOC: Greetings. Welcome to this character-based RP, Escape from Eyehold. The idea behind this RP is to play as a group of characters who, as slaves of the tyrannic beholder overlords of Eyehold (to those without knowledge about what are beholders, read here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beholder)), attempt to escape the underground city in order to see once again the upperworld.
Your characters are the descendants of generations of previously captured slaves, who have, somehow, managed to resist the dominating powers of the beholders, and now seek to escape. They can be of any race of your choice, although you should try to avoid superpowerful demi-gods, flaming demon lords or the like.
The Eyehold: This is the largest and most important city of the great underworld Dominion of Eyekin, a nation conformed by different beholder nations. The city is immensely vast, stretching in all directions with a mazelike network of caves. On it's center lies a humongous cave several miles wide and high, that acts as the city's hub and place of the most important buildings and organisms. The city, and the Dominion as whole, is located deep beneath the earth, and you are unsure of where it might be located; your knowledge of the upperworld is as well blurr at most, given to you through generations of tales and stories of how your forefathers used to live there where the sun and moon dominated the sky. As slaves, you can be anything: A miner of the deep caves below the city, a servant of a rich beholder family, a builder, a carrier, or even a subject of investigation.
You have heard of certain groups of slaves, known as the eyetouched, who exist as a sort of "chosen ones". Although still slaves, they have closer contact with the beholder, and actually revere them. However, you have never seen one, nor heard much detail about them, but it might be interesting to investigate. In any case, you are on your own.
Once the character have been posted (there are 8 vacants; only well developed characters will be accepted), we will start with the RP.
