Hello, and welcome to the Struggle for Kelredan: Aftermath! This roleplay was originally created by Iskar, who has since departed from the forums.

The roleplay proceeded smoothly at first, but inactivity started to kick in and with Iskar's departure the players involved were left without a Game Master, despite his efforts to create a dynamic hosting system. The roleplay soon faded into obscurity.

Ser Varys offered to help with the roleplay, he has access to random events that will happen throughout. I, Sir Nickolas, mainly work as a volunteer to keep the timeline in check and try to keep the roleplay progressing somewhat smoothly.

If you wish to join, feel free to do so! We currently don't have an application area set up as of present, so please post any inquiries and questions in our General OCC thread. An important note however is that the Struggle for Kelredan roleplay does not have a solid ruleset and may play differently than the other Prophesy of Pendor roleplays. Otherwise, feel free to tag along and have fun!

If you are a returning member for the Struggle for Kelredan roleplay, don't worry, your character has not perished! All player characters that were inactive are considered to be in a coma-like state, if you wish to rejoin simply awaken from your slumber and participate as normal.

Original Setting:

It is the second year after the unification of Pendor under the rule of the prophesied king, Mordred I Adalhard.

Mobray County, the immediate surroundings of the capital city Sarleon, is facing troubles. The last baronet of Kelredan has died without wife or heir. A baronet being only a rather minor noble this would usually not cause much ado, but this case is different: Usually only higher nobles are allowed to build and hold proper castles while minor nobles such as baronets and knights have only walled estates or towerhouses, but the baronets of Kelredan, by some old laws, traditionally hold the castle of the same name near Sarleon. The other baronets of Mobray County, the rulers of Rebache, Belmonfaire and Yaragar have now all cast an eye on the prestigious and powerful title of Kelredan. They have all dug up some more or less valid claim to the vacant baronetcy and will try to gain control of it.
The lands of the capital city are considered neutral ground and Duke Darlion of Sarleon has made it clear that while he takes no interest in the petty struggles of minor nobles he will not tolerate fighting on lands under his direct protection. The Baron of Mobray, the direct feudal overlord of the baronets, has also declared neutrality in the struggle for the inheritance, but also that he will accept the judgement of the gods as to who would be best suited to hold Kelredan - in other words: let the best baronet win. In light of this he would not mind small skirmishes spilling into his lands as long as they serve to determine the new baronet of Kelredan and his subjects are not hurt.
So now the baronets, their knightly vassals, their household knights and a number of illustrious figures prepare for the struggle for Kelredan.

Struggle for Kelredan: Aftermath

"... and the Struggle of Kelredan soon transformed into something else entirely. For the first few days, the baronets plotted and planned their moves to become the rightful ruler of Kelredan Castle. However, try as they may, an omen loomed over the area in the form of ominous clouds from the north. While the peasants cowered in fear and travelers dared not journey to their next destination, the many of the major figures involved ignored such warning signs. It would prove to be their downfall.

Soon enough, peasant and noble alike began falling into a kind of sickness that eventually ended in a coma-like state. Almost everyone knew someone who was afflicted in this state, and families mourned for their loved ones to come back. Alas, it could not be so.

Some Baronetcies lost its faithful knights to the plague, others lost their baronet who was to lead them during these trying times. Mercenary and Adventuring companies made themselves scarce, leaving only the dedicated few in Mobray Country.

At the dawn of Day 8 of the Kelredan events, the situation has somewhat settled itself at the people adapted to the changing times. The people rallied to the church of Eunomia Stabilitis, praying for health and for the dark times to pass. In the east, Sir Nickolas has taken over the duties of Yaragar as Thedric Baras fell to the sickness. Belmonfaire stayed strong during these trying times, a trait no doubt earned from their renowned resolve, and the Adventurer Sir Forn Merclan was spoke of in taverns, but never found.

Now, at the light of a new dawn, how will the people of Mobray Country fare against these hardships, even with the ever growing threat from an army from the south..."
