One generation ago, Jabari Malik swept through the Southern Pass and united --through force or alliance-- the Unaligned Emirates. For a time Agaron was uneasy with its new, powerful neighbor, but the country was strong under the old King, and Jabari Malik showed no interest in further expansion. And, for a time, there was peace.
The King of Agaron died, and passed the crown on to his eldest son. However, the new King suffered a severe hunting accident, and his health was never fully recovered. As the years passed, Agaron was weakened by dissent and greed within the nobles, and unrest among the commoners. In an attempt to consolidate his fading power, the King of Agaron ceased to pay his borders the attention they deserved, and banditry --sometimes sanctioned by the very lords who ruled those outer lands-- increased exponentially. Relations between Agaron and its neighbors grew strained.
And three years ago, Azhar Malik, son of Jabari Malik and at the time ruler of the Malik Empire for only two years, sent his soldiers across Agaron's southeastern border.
Three weeks ago, the capital of Agaron surrendered. The Malik armies washed relentlessly over the northern half of the kingdom, accepting surrenders from the more intelligent lords, and forcing them from the more prideful ones. And as Egea warily watched Azhar Malik approach their own lands, they received a surprising message from the southern warlord:
The Malik Emperor has expressed an interest in meeting the Egean King's daughters, and forming an alliance.
--------------------
So. Yes. This is an arranged marriage roleplay, of sorts. It is, however, not a romance: I warn you now, Azhar Malik has high expectations, the arrogance due his rank and station, and does not tolerate stupidity. You will probably hate him when you first meet him. This is a political roleplay, not a place for privileged teenagers to whine about the woes of being forced into loveless relationships. These three things will get you kicked out of the roleplay (after being laughed at by Azhar Malik):
-----> Playing immature characters. If your character is not acting sufficiently mature, I will use an NPC advisor from your country to warn you to start acting like the royalty you are. If you disappoint me again, that advisor will 'send you home'. Immaturity includes being all obviously angsty or rebellious --there is no place for whiny teenagers here.
-----> Playing unbelievable characters. If you come from a country emphasizing modesty, I don't want to see you flirting shamelessly. If you come from a warlike, proud country, I don't want to see you all shy and conciliatory. Your cultures will shape you --they must, to some degree, be reflected in you. Even more important, however, is that you must be able to lead a country of people adhering to these ideas and values. Even if you don't agree with your culture, your countrymen expect you to uphold their beliefs; diverting obviously from the mainstream will seriously destabilize your throne and invite rebellion. As an heir to a throne, you have been trained from birth to lead. Don't do anything so obviously stupid.
-----> Be literate, committed, etc. I don't think I need to go into great detail with these : )
Currently, I require at least one Egean princess to get things started. After that, I am open to having one or two more Egean princesses, Malik generals, and Agaron nobles floating around; there's a lot that can be going on here. I am going to try to keep things gender-balanced, so you may be wait-listed until someone submits another character of the opposite gender.
