Broken Promises
Welcome - Characters - The Empire of the Eternal Sun - Map - Costuming
A Freeform for 24 to 27 players
The feud between the two families had lasted hundreds of years, so long that the history books no longer recorded what had caused it. Both families insist the other’s ancestors had insulted their ancestors in a manner most vile, and they would not let it rest until apology was given.
And yet, all things must come to an end. It has been decreed that peace must reign in these lands, and to that end marriage has been arranged between the son of one house and the daughter of the other. Finally, two great houses divided by enmity will be united in holy matrimony.
Today is the day, most auspicious for such an occasion, when the vows will be made. But also, today is the day where both the bride and groom have disappeared.
Loud voices on all sides throw accusations and threats, but peace, true peace was the goal! Who would do such a thing, to allow this horrible war to continue, when both sides had made their oaths that this was to be?
Who is responsible for these broken promises?
----------
Broken Promises is a Systemless freeform for 24 to 27 important members of society locked in the grand hall while others search for traces of the missing dignitaries. And if some of the all important social aspects of such an occasion happen anyway, while in that grand hall? It is, after all, not often that people of such calibre have time on their hands…
Setting is generic historical fantasy, so extravagant costuming of any historical period or fantasy setting is strongly encouraged.
