Desert's Tribes
Summery
Hello and welcome to "Desert's Tribes". This thread was made to have an RPG element to it, with some conflict happening between the tribe's that seek to challenge other tribes control over the desert lands. There is some lore and history hidden between the tribes that inhabit the vast desert others seek to contain their beliefs upon. Whilst some tribal people retain their tribal characteristic perks on what they may have unique from others. The regional perks however!~ are perks that affect people greatly in the region they'll be in.
Desert's Tribes includes four main tribes with their unique color schemes, themes and clothing. There are four tribes with three consisting just with trolls and another fourth one that includes just humans. Over the ages, the humans that traveled the desert, were seen as outcasts from three troll tribes. Where the humans took that remark and made a tribe for themselves. The three other troll tribes as mentioned are those who are greatly evil, the other who opposes the evil ones and then the last one who stands in the middle ground. Acting natural as much as possible.
There is a leveling system in this roleplay thread and stats to give people a challenge to think things through when going out and about in the worldliness of the desert. However there are creatures that lurk around the desert if one was to gain experience to level up. Training stats is possible and possibly wise to do so. But there is also quests to carry out as well.
[Whereabouts Overview]
- Spoiler:
- Mostly all tribe temples and the ones who live alongside one another have established themselves in oasis with camps nested near the temple's entrances.
Only for the more evilish trolls, did they established themselves in a large crevice in the ground. Where their temple is in the side of a cliff face.
[The Plot So Far]
- Spoiler:
- A rumor has gone about that a leader of a tribe has been killed by an intern tribal member. But people are unsure to who would have done it and what their intentions were for doing such a thing. Further more in development. A hidden tribe has yet to be revealed as knowledge to where the hidden tribe is was said last to be with the leader that gotten killed by the mentioned intern tribal member. Till that day forward. There had been hunters going after to who was the last person to be even be near a tribal leader when they were killed. Some say that information of the hidden tribe is now with the tribes leader killer. Its what most people have been mostly talking about now-a-days. But the tribe Callers Of Echos are speaking war is soon upon them because of the events unfolding in the other tribes.
No one knows what tribes leader has been killed and no one knows if humans even exist in the desert anymore, because the trolls have hardly seen any humans wandering the desert. Not only that, this hidden tribe no one knows about. This includes the tribes: Followers Of The Ravagers, The Land Watchers and The Wandering Few. Don't think that another tribe with a mystery population exists out in the desert, apart from one that consists with just humans somewhere.

[Leveling System]
- Spoiler:
- The leveling cap stops around at 50 and to gain it is through killing a creature, completing quests or killing another player.

Defense: Defense is a stat that will show you how much of defense you’ll have in total. The defense stat will reduce the amount of damage being taken from anyone or anything that is to harm you in anyway.
To note, if your character decides to swap out to a range weapon. Your Defense will lower.

Agility: Agility is an ability that steady's range attacks, as well as heightening your characters alertness within combat or soon to engage in battle. This works well in sighting hidden people that are trying to hide and getting a bulls eye on something.

It was this that brought them into the implications that made them split from the home group.
It was said that the reason the trolls and their own totem who saw a liking into before parting ways with their brothers and sisters.
