| RPG Introduction This RPG is set 50 years after the events of Legend of Dragoon. In that time, humans have made peace with Winglies, Dart is the only hero from the game to be alive, and peace has been established. That was up until a few months ago…. The first sign something terrible was going to happen was that the Winglies migrated to a place unknown, like they knew something that humans didn’t. A week later, a man calling himself Lord Lecam came rampaging through the valley, with his army called the Xemos Empire. The few local militia’s that dared to fight back were utterly exterminated. The XE quickly established an iron grip on the land. Dart, knowing the XE would eventually kill everyone in the land, started a band of small freedom fighters, called the Gaia Revolutionary Army. The GRA are outnumbered, but they have an advantage that could one day be the XE’s downfall: they have knowledge of Dragoons! Dragoons are humans with dragon armor, who have fantastic power. While almost every GRA member knows of these awesome beings, Lecam refuses to accept their existence. While the GRA uses magic to fight, the XE fight with Knights and a distinct numerical superiority. Only a few XE members dare to believe in dragons and the power of Dragoons, which gives the GRA hope that they may one day have the power to crush the XE. |
| Freedom or Death Somewhere in the vast GRA headquarters, Dart sits awaiting his speech. Poised, like in battle, he stays ready for his big appearance. Just then a knock’s heard on the door of his chambers. <Squire> “Sir!” A man says from behind the door. <Dart> “Enter”, he response. The man enters in haste and slams the door… <Squire> “I have grave news!” The man trembles. <Dart> “What do you have for me?” <Squire> “The Xemos have sacked Oordo! The local magistrate has been slaughter and the Lord in the hands of the XE! <Dart> “This can’t be…” From out on Dart’s balcony cheers of democracy fills the air… <Dart> “We must deal with this later… I have a speech to give.” Dart dismisses the Squire and walks before a crowd of thousands. Cheers deafen as the hero is seen, he raises his hand in silence and the crowd final goes to rest… <Dart> “My fellow revolutionaries, a great injustice has come before us. But, it will not stop us from our victory… Do not let the XE frighten you, do not let them bully or taunt you. We will stand together and ward off this terrible force! We are free! And that is more then any XE will ever be!” The crowd claps and cheers. “Let me promise you this… They can take our lives and our belongings… But they can never take what we’re made of… They can never take what we believe in… As long as we strand together! The crowd stirs a bit… still quite loud… Dart begins to talk again, in a calm and mutual manner. <Dart> “Let us show the XE, let us take the fight to their homes, see how they fair! Who will follow me!?” His voice echoes throughout the kingdom, many men and women raise their hands in response, they hoot and holler. “Take up arms and follow me into battle!” Outcome: All GRA members be at Haven Garrison by May 11 or forfeit pay, hiring Rebels for 500 gold Saluting the Cause In the deep reaches of the Xemos Empire stands a tall podium in front of a large bustling crowd. Soldiers and people alike stand chanting 5 simple words “Lord Lecam is our savior!” Men and women from all over have come to witness Lecam’s appearance. A curtain is drawn and a tall dark man strafes across stage left to center stage. He solemnly clears his throat and begins to speak. <Lecam> “I! Your Lord, will bring you prosperity. I shall return the Xemos dream to the land! These petty Rebels… Nothing! They fight for no cause; they try to stand in our way of excellence! Who are they to challenge us!?” A smirk reaches from each cheek on the Dark Lord’s face. He turns his head swiftly and motions off stage. “Let us rejoice to the rebirth of justice! I command a sacrifice!” A small man, stale with long hours of torture and starvation, barely able to walk without the support of the two guards, is brought beside Lecam. <Lecam> “This man… Who has attempted to hurt our dream, is a traitor! The captive is brought before Lecam, the man whispers something in the Lords ear… <GRA Captive> “You can never stop us… We will never give in…” The man stutters. <Lecam> “My Father, may he rest in peace, once told me Greed is a force greater then any army… Since then I have learned of a force even greater.” <GRA Captive> “And what would that be?” The captive scoffs. <Lecam> “Fear…” The Lord laughs heartily and motions his guards once more. The man is taken to an alter, where he is strapped in. Lecam walks slowly up to his prey, he unclasps a dagger from his belt… <Lecam> “When history is written I will be placed along side Alexander, Caesar, and Hannibal. No man shall have the courage to face me.” With this he slices into the man’s chest. A stream of crimson runs from the wound. Lecam brings his finger and catches a drop on his thumb; he licks it dry with a slurp, so loud some of the crowd believed it to be the man gasping for breath. “This man will stay here! And bleed, as will the rest of the GRA when we meet them on the battle field!” Lecam briskly turns about face, salutes to his crowd and leaves. Outcome: All XE members be at Camp Cave by May 11 or forfeit pay, hiring Rebels for 550 Gold.. |
