Foundlings

Vikings, gypsies, hordes, farmers, townfolk, craftsmen, sell-swords, etc.

The Essealas Continent is comprised of more than a million square miles, a hundred small towns, many more villages, and thousands of isolated dwellings. The continent includes arctic tundra, moors, grasslands, steppes, marshlands, chaparral scrub, desert, pine forests, Deciduous groves, and rolling hillsides.

Life outside of the city-states is primarily nomadic or feudal. Those who do not live in the city-states are considered to have a status even lower than city-state slaves. Such people are known as in-betweeners, lost folk, skraelings, foundlings, rovers, and strays. Within the Arcovian Citadel foundlings are allowed to live as long as they have work and can pay for food and lodging. Beggers and the homeless should expect harsh treatment from the Arcovian Guild.

Character Creation

If you enjoy this type of background character, or simply wish to visit the sim to look around, you are welcome to play such a character temporarily or long term. Its perfectly acceptable to toss on some homespun and go sightsee -- agents and city-state citizens will generally ignore you. Foundlings will never be accepted as agents and should not register to participate in RPCSS.

We welcome any reasonable human fantasy culture that is of your own creation or a renamed adaptation of popular human fantasy fiction suitable to a High Middle Ages world. Please keep your fiction small and local, say perhaps to a 10 square mile area.
