Friends are torn apart by conflict
End with a war for power and control
Fortillia was a land ruled by a great King, a King long dead. The lands achieve prosperity by a magical art long forgotten by commoners. Although out the lands of Fortillia is beauty unscathed by a human's hand, crystal blue rivers that flow silently through forests of old. Trees that touch the heavens and mountains carved for the strongest of stone. Its fields lay home to herds of sheep, pigs and cattle. Crops will grow for generations until losing prosperity, feeding the many villages scattered throughout. Many parts of this world are home to silence and serenity, guarding you from the conflict that plagues the land.
Six Kings fight to gain a foothold in this land, the true King Geoff, the King of kindness jack, the King of rose's ray, the King of fools Gavin, the King of war Michael and the mad King Ryan. These six Kings fight for the throne, all of them old friends and all of them determined.
This war had split up the land of Fortillia into six provinces, Geoff's Stonewell, Jacks Cristillia, Ray's Veneliss, Gavin's Gilinfell, Michaels Axehead and Ryan's Nofrentiss, once the war broke out each King conquered one of these provinces and the people and resources within it.
All the Kings choose wisely except for King Ray who flocked to the Sothern most land, this province was the poorest and had the fewest resources. He mad this decision for two reasons, this province was the province of roses. This province was the only one to have fields full of blood red roses. But there roses were not always blood red, they used to hold a pure sad of white. That was until tundra bandits from beyond Veneliss rallied all of their forces and invaded the province. All of Rays family were vassals for the lord that once ruled that province, the lord flocked all his troops to defend the land. The battle that followed was one of the bloodiest battles in the history of Fortillia, staining the fields of roses that now grew. The battle was won and the bandits pushed back but at a price to high, Ray was the only member to survive that battle. Now he spends his time in his castle watching over his provinces, his people and his roses still stained by his own memory
Many see King Geoff as the true king of Fortillia, as it was his father who united the kingdom many years ago. At his death the struggle for power between the six kings began. Geoff has the largest army and the best claim to the throne; however his armies rarely fight, and doesn't have bad luck with victories. The king himself is unskilled and relies on others for almost everything, even leading his subjects. There are even whispers that he is being manipulated by his own advisors.
King Jack is the kindest of the king, only fighting because he believes he will bring the lands into an even more prosperous and happy land. Any who join him will be met with a smile and open-arms. His subjects are free; his kingdom is the only one without conscription. Due to this King jack has the smallest army of any King. He has had fairly good luck with victories in the past, but lately there has been little success in battle.
King Ray is the calmest of all the kings; he doesn't take offence to much and is obsessed with the ideal of honour. He rarely chooses to fight unless provoked or battle is necessary. He was quite happy to rule his province until others attempted to take it from him. He fights the other kings somewhat unwillingly, but no matter what he will never give up his kingdom. He has had much success in battle in battle, and for a long time it looked like no one could stop him from claiming the land as his own. However he suffers a huge flaw and people know it, King Ray is broke. A war cannot be fought without money, and there is very little of it left. Ray is stuck defending for he has no money to win his campaign, but ray makes no effort to make more money for he is quite contempt with ruling only his kingdom. However it will only be a matter of time till he has to fight for his people and his land.
King Gavin is known as the King of fools, known as the downright stupid of them all. However, behind the stupidity lies genius, what kind of genius cannot be said, but there is no doubt that there is more to him than his bizarre words and concerning actions. King Gavin has had the worst luck of any king, and lost almost every time he tries to attack another king. The few times his plans worked were extraordinary. On top of this for some reason no king has ever been able to successfully attack King Gavin. His defence remains perfect and so his subjects are safe.
Know by his subject by 'Mogar' King Michael is known as the king of war. Nearly every one of his subjects are a part of his army, very few have jobs that don't contribute to the war directly. Other Kings know Mogar as a savage, which isn't always far from the truth. When in battle, he and his subjects are said to fight with brutality that is frightening. Equally terrifying is his anger, get on the wrong side of this king and face his wrath. When not on the battle field Michael acts more like a commoner than a king, working hard alongside his people. Although hugely successful in battle, King Michael doesn't know how to say no to a fight. Often times his victories mean almost nothing in the overall war and give him little strategic advantage. In fact, he seems to care little for ruling the land and is more interested in fighting.
King Ryan, the mad king, by all accounts doesn't seem to have the makings of a victor. He is not the richest, he hasn't the greatest armies, he hasn't the most victories, or the greatest strategies. Yet despite this all his subjects love he and in equal parts fear him. He's unpredictable, killing people on a whim. Loyal subjects or enemy soldiers, if he wants someone dead he will go out and kill them himself, and violently. His battle tactics are demented, and carry his unpredictable nature and can turn in an instant. At the moment most people have him pegged as the winner of this war, but the war can turn it tide in an instant.
So here we have six kings all fighting for different victories. All with different strategies, different advantages and all with a different story. But who will succeed and conquer all else, who will lose their life or give it.
