Asylum [Narrative Role Hook]

[Sale Bête]

______

After the death of the King, an unheard of Regicide that shook the very firmament, your home fell into disarray. The clans warred, tribes of Demons bred and honed over generations now no longer united by the fear of their great progenitor. This force, once capable of terrorizing the world over and the whole of Atrellya, now turned on itself. To call it a civil war would have been technically correct, but there is nothing civil about the way the Clans wage war against each other.

Indras' demise has broken that tenuous peace between those three great powers. This of course leaves their servants, their pawns, slaves, and the 'lesser' populations of the country to suffer all the more. Any stability that you once knew was summarily dashed when the power vacuum opened.

Same as it ever was.

But strange Heralds arrive from lands beyond. Heralds with all the look of one of the Fel blooded of the Wolf clan - the sharp eyes, a predator's teeth and claws, the curving horns of those so Blessed by Demonic gifts. Discreetly, they brought missives to your people.

Or, more accurately, invitations. Offers for asylum away from this place. Food, supplies. Coin to bribe stout sailors for passage off the coasts. A distant land, far removed from the reaches of the Clans. A land where the King fell, no less, and now a barrier keeps all but the worst of Demonkind at bay. Not to say it does not have its own troubles.

The offer is almost too good to be true. Its source, though revealed in part, is dubious. Is the missive you were given worth trusting? Is it even real, or is it some kind of trap for the 'unfaithful' by Indras' last zealots? Will you simply be trading one master for another?

All you have is the missive you were given, and the slim chance it provides you with a better life beyond this one.

-- What Are You? --

You are a native of Atrellya, a member of its humanoid population. Circumstances tend to vary among them, but all of them live beneath the yoke of Demon rule. You were presented with the opportunity for sponsorship for a better life beyond the lands of your home.

Why you chose to take that sponsorship is up to you.

No hard and fast requirements for magics, races (so long as they make sense), etc. Be creative!

Application-required races must be applied for separately.

-- What Is Available For This Role Hook? --

This is a purely narrative role hook. As such, no immediate mechanical benefits are available on-spawn. 

However, support is promised by you Patron, the one that funded your departure from Atrellya in the first place. Equipment, supplies, tinctures, no doubt rank among the possibilities. There is also liable to be more payment and work for willing hands. Surely your Patron has goals too, goals which could become yours if you chose to take them up. Plenty of rumors surround her. Who knows which are valid or simply hearsay.
