Exiled - An Introduction

On the continent of Dale, the largest of the Five Lands, lies The Capitol. It holds the title of the largest city in the Five Lands, and it's dominion spreads wide across Dale. In fact, it covers the entirety of it, and even some of the surrounding oceans. Miles and miles of land, owned by The Capitol. However, you are no longer allowed on any of this land.

You have been exiled from The Capitol for performing a horrible offense. Whatever that is, does not matter. What matters now, is that you must find somewhere to settle and flourish, with your band of exiles. The other Lands are open to you (Fyr, Sul, Twi, and Yon), and whichever you choose could become your home until you die.

Before all that, though, you should probably get acquainted with your fellow exiles.

What is this?Show

Exiled is a game in which 6 players attempt to forge lives after they've been exiled for horrible crimes, and are unable to access the hospitable mainland.

Your current goal is to find the most hospitable of all the Four Lands you have available, by exploring and navigating the oceans between them. This will be a tiring journey, and you will need to keep track of your supplies in the case of emergency.

Turns in this game will occur during lengthy spans of time. Major actions will occur over a month in-game, while Minor actions vary in time, but usually are immediate.
Minor actions are things like talking, crafting something small, or investigating something nearby. Major actions are things like building structures, going on an adventure or any sort of lengthy travel, or crafting a lot of things (or something big). In the beginning phase of the game, most of the actions will just be travelling to different islands, although plotting a course is a good idea, as well. If you all agree with someone else's action, you can simply quote them rather than post your own.

Decisions can be challenged and criticized by other players, and if there is an argument, then an agreement will need to occur before the action can take place.

While there are currently 6 player slots, if more interest is shown I will open up slots for people to join in. If you simply wish to be an interactive observer, I might add an interactive voting system once the colony begins.
