TEST DRIVE MEME



TEST DRIVE MEME
PREMISE PLOT ARRIVAL SETTING NAVIGATION

01. ARRIVING IN PELEA
A cold wind singing down from the white-capped mountains which hang blue-black in the distance stirs your cheek, the tall grass all around you. A bough creaks as the wind makes it tremble, and the dappled shadows drift over you, leaves rustling. As you blink awake, you hear the quiet hiss of water over stones. You are not where you once were!

You and a large group of strangers are blinking awake, pulling yourselves up off the dirt, grass, and rubble near a small wooded stream. There is no evidence of civilization in sight, and as you exchange stories you realize that you must decide what to do.

Will you head past the trees and towards the mountains? Deeper into the forest? Stay put and wait for help to arrive? You might even try to meet everyone else, and either convince them to band together... or head their separate ways.

02. CITY SLICKER
There are many cities throughout the world of Pelea, and in most player characters, the Flaws, are welcomed as curiosities. From the pastoral villages or bustling, grand cities of Shousal to the massive, sprawling bureaucratic centers of the Empire, your characters will find a wide variety of cultures and races to interact with and investigate. They could be seeking empoyment, answers to the mystery of their arrival, or a quiet place to drink away their worries.

03. WILDCARD!

"'One with the forest'...ah, that sounds like the Dalish elves. I've met their kind but have little in common with them. City elves -and mages- lead a different life." She shrugs, pretty certain her only extensive experience wasn't typical, anyway. Nothing was typical about the days during the Blight, and needing to gather an army before it was too late.

Pleased at being addressed, Garahel perks up and barks happily, earning a smile from his mistress. "I believe he agrees, but then he is rather easy to befriend. Bring no threat, and the promise of attention, and he is content." Well, as content as a bottomless pit can ever be.

Diplomacy in the face of uncertainty has worked for him more than once, and it seems to have one so again, Ilai thinks. This elvhen woman is peaceable and her companion no threat to him now, so he allows the rest of the tension to seep from his shoulders, obvious to someone looking by the way his tail begins to swish about more casually.

"Elves sound alike to my people, for each village is different, with customs and traditions unto itself," he explains. "The farther the distance, the more different than alike our ways are. Although cities are not built to suit our needs."
