"Asfetiu
Asfetiu
Fiends, criminals, slaves, blasphemers
The word of Ra is against ye
Ye are fettered and bound with leather straps
Helpless, doomed, wailing in unendurable torment
Lashed to the forked slave stick by the neck
Lashed to the slave stick
Abata ankh t khet
Neba t steb tcha
Lashed to the slave stick
Ra pronounceth the formulae against thee
The Eye of Horus is prepared to attack thee
Sekhmet uttereth words of flame
Against thee and pierceth thy breast
Your evil deeds have turned against you
Your plottings have come upon you
Your abominable acts
You shall be lashed to the slave stick"
-Karl Sanders "Nile - Lashed to the Slave Stick"
Welcome sla... er victi... players. Yes definitely players.
The Hyperborean world is a melting pot of different cultures, values, and norms. This does not make it a happy place though, far from it. Happiness is a dream to you, for you have found yourself forcibly conscripted to a warlord named Wolf. This has not been a pleasant experience. Beatings are handed out regularly at the behest of Wolf's Black Dog Elite soldiers. Red Dog soldiers, the freed and unproven former slaves, take their anger out upon you. And you, the swine, are little more than a shield from arrows or the sweltering eye of Horus.
Wolf has a great vision, you have heard it many times. Wolf is destined to become a demigod, and you are going to make him one. He has great, some might say psychotic Ambition. But he also has an army of the very worst dregs of society. Wolf wishes for you to prove yourself that he may free you from your plight.
There can be no mistake. If you are to return to any semblance of the life you once had, Wolf has to die. The only problem, you're the only one who can do it. Today you're Lashed to the slave stick. A living shield. Malnourished, and sickly. But great things can come to the brave and foolhardy. Do you dare risk your life to kill Wolf? Or are you just another red dog?
Some details:
The Tone is Grim Dark. Let's try to keep the really awful stuff off screen.
Life isn't fair, neither is the game world. Sometimes things will go very poorly. People will die, probably even some of you. But don't worry, there are always more people to fill the swine herd.
Marginalized groups are welcome.
Probably don't want to play a character who requires expensive and rare things to do their tricks with. Alchemists and Sorcerers will be at a distinct disadvantage for the whole of the game.
If we all have fun establishing our characters this may turn into something more than a few months of brutal hardship.
