Types/Kinds of Animals Allowed
Only pets (possibly, but only under circumstance) or animals that are used for purposes (such as horses and sheep) are allowed.

Types/Kinds of Humanoids Allowed
Only human species are permitted; although, races is not all quite set. It is allowed that multiple races be made, but because of the time of the forum, it would be most logical that similar races would be grouped together. There could be exception to this, however.

Magic
Magic is not an allowable ability of the forum. The site is the struggle between human actions using only human natural and physical means.

Time Setting
There is no actually time on the forum (as it does not relate to this world), but in relation, it would have more of a past theme. The time span could be considered between the thirteenth and fifteenth century. Any time between there would be accepted.

General Theme
The overall concept of Delementiné is human reaction, interaction, and traits carried out under pressure situations. More specifically, the world is encased in a war between powerful counties at this very moment; some people are directly involved in the war, and others must suffer the drawbacks because of it. At the same time, however, a plague, that once affected the world over a hundred years ago, has come back, and is now haunting people once again.

Mini Banner of Site
There is no mini-banner as of yet for the site.

Plot/Introduction
The start of everything was because of the plague, that which nearly wiped out an entire continent. Sure, at first it seemed like it was just a simple miscreant, but it started to spread more quickly as time drew by. From the north, it was unknown how it came about, and it was certainly expected of the people there, and because of which, those who were either not lucky or were able to escape the lands, soon perished in a cold death.

Unfortunately, the north was also home to the royal family who ruled over the entire continent. Stubborn as they were, when the plague struck, the royal family was cleaned away, all except for a small portion, who left to the south long before, in fear that things might have turned this way. Now, there was a land with nothing supporting it in its needs; and with the royal family either separated or dead, the continent was surely dying. The plague would spread more to the south, and finish its reign of killing, but the lucky few who would survive it, would have to start anew.

As decades passed by, the lands desperately called out for some stability, someone to lead them to their desired courses. Soon enough, power started to form, and individual counties began to live again. Of these, four distinct counties appeared more potential, Fieare, Auquoro, Aerorea, and Zapiroru. Each gaining potency in different ways.

The counties, however, because they had such drastically different views from one another, friction started to develop between them. Soon the counties finally declared war on each other, and every minor county would be caught in the middle. During the latter parts of the battles, the residual affects of the plague started to form again, and caused a new fear in people. At this time, the counties still have major bouts with each other in spite of this, and now fates tale will tell of this. How will everything work out in the end? Will one power become the strongest, and survive through the awakening of the plague? or will each become obliterated because of such actions?

Fieare County
The land that is farthest north. It is home to wonderful and beautiful coniferous forests, and through most of the year, nearly all parts of its land is completely covered in snow. The southern portion, that connects Fieare to the rest of the continent, tends to be cold, hard and dry; it is too much to be fertile, but in the summer, it is graced with some bouts of warmth. Nearly a century ago, the plague struck for the first time, and this terrain was its original victim. When the plaque had thusly ceased, the land was left as a practical waist land, and after which, people felt weary about coming back. Without the royal family at the thrown, the castle was furthermore abandoned, and new power had to be formed in villages farther away. As the plague strikes for the second time, how are the people of Fieare going to react this time?

Auquoro County
The land of the deep southeast. It is home to one of the most peculiar landscape. Expansive dry lake beds in the most north, that has now been seen as a desert, luscious fertile grounds in the center county, and marsh like sections, spread out throughout the deeper south. When the plague originally affected the north, many people have tried to gain access into this southern "paradise." Including of which were the remaining royal family. They have drastically been diminished of their power, at least seen by the rest of the continent, but among those in Auquoro, they are still highly respected. They do not have power to rule the entire continent, but they have since then been leading over Auquoro. Faith and religion is a major part of Auquoro, and god and the royal family are there everything. Now, once again, the plague strikes again; are the people of Auquoro still going to have faith in the royal family to protect them?

Aerorea County
The land of the deep southwest. It is home to the most bizarre layouts of terrain. In the most north, dry deserts are stretched about. They range from hot in the summers and cold in the winters, with little water to be supplied for quite some distance. Somewhat in the middle of the county is wide spaces of open semi fertile land. Many villages have been placed here, as this is almost the place of highest productivity for Aerorea. Just south, and slightly more to the west, a large mesh of rain forests are centralized together. The abundance of rain in the south, makes up for the lack thereof in the north. In the furthest south, the land is grounds for many rains, but tends to be slate like and unfertile.

In the first wave of the plague, for the many people there, they were somewhat safe. For some reason, it didn't completely pass through the wall generated by the rain forests, and in such case, many people survive, but only so many. The people in Aerorea believe that the strong deserve to survive, and that because many people were weak, the plaque came to wipe them out. This is the main principle behind the leader in standing now. But now, the plague has come back, certainly it is after the weak only. What is the belief of Aerorea after this? What are they going to do against it?

Zapiroru County
The land that is center of the entire continent. It is home to generally dry warm summers and moist cold winters. The entire landscape is basically a giant plane; however, there is exception to some relatively small deciduous forests that are planted every few miles from one another. The land is typically rough and somewhat infertile, and is found difficult to cultivate on. When the plague struck, Zapiroru was rather unprepared. It was much for its entire existence, but definitely for this new encumbrance. In the end, Zapiroru was able to barely survive, most of its people moving off to more southern counties. A few came back, as it was their home, and it started making its life new again.

Because Zapiroru has never been one for cultivation, it has since then turned to alternative service. Many years after the plague, the county had found a new track for itself, industrialization. With the opening of the Quolek mines, resources were able to be obtained and used for their new line of work. Certainly it was rather small at the time, but it was a step up from nothing. When the lands declared war on each other, Zapiroru was clearly outmatched by the residing counties who surrounded it, and in which case, it turned to industry to develop something that would raise its stakes in the battles, the explosive cannon or gun. As the plague strikes for a second time, how is Zapiroru able to use its new found ingenuity to aid them through it? if it is at all possible, that is.

Closure
Now, to make some stakes about my role as an administrator. Firstly, because my forum is quite new, I cannot make any claim whether it is active or not, because quite clearly, by average it is...but by statistic, it isn't. Secondly, any person who I decide as becoming an administrator must be dedicated to the site, and care now more or less about each individual with respect to being an administrator. Leniency can be acknowledged on particular bases, but only in situations where severity differs, but definitely not in any case of bias towards any particular individual. Also, even the administrators powers (including my own) will be absolutely restricted (meaning, administrators cannot do anything unless some person causes conflict with a portion of the forum, whether it be a rule or another member.

Administration Openings
Currently, there are many administrations positions that are still looking for people to apply to them. Of the which are included...

• Assistant Administrator
• Moderating Administrator
• Layout Administrator
  • Graphic Design
  • Code Detail
• County Leader
• and possibly more

Apply now if you feel you may want to participate, or just peruse the site and see if you may be interested.
