The Runes of Crydus RPG Recruitment!!! Come Look!
Runes of Crydus
Recently, a friend and I (Ardnived) have begun working on an RPG (Runes of Crydus is the working title). We've started the terrain and have a majority of features and concepts planned out for it, such as the huge PvP element that we will add to it making it somewhat similar to World of Warcraft in the respect of having two opposing forces. Though we've begun game concepting and terraining, we are not confident in a few aspects of the WE and are ready to assemble a team.
People recruited should each have these following traits:
You must have experience and the accurate knowledge for your task.
You must be self-motivated and in no more than 1 other prior project.
You must be creative, and co-operative with other team members.

As we plan to have many systems within the map as well as a completely new PvP RPG experience and a different gamestyle to a majority of RPGs, we require someone who can bring these systems to life.
+ Experienced in GUI and/or JASS
+ Be able to create and design systems by applying your own knowledge and creativity
+ Must have JNGP
Skinner/Modeler
The RPG will require a skinner or modeler to help design our heroes and perhaps the units used within the game.
+ Must be able to prove that you are skilled
+ Must be able to work with limits
As some features are not yet distinct and things are still being conceptualized, I will try to answer your questions accurately.

"I remember the days when the earth shook and spewed forth fire and magma, and storms raged in the skies, when the mountains sprung from the depths, glistening spires of rock and earth capped by peaks of chilling snow. I was terrified, and so I hid. After much time had past, months, maybe even years, the earth ceased it's trembling and the skies parted, and as quickly as it had come the power that had shaped the mountains, the rivers and the lands vanished.
Beyond the caves where I hid, I found strange creatures. Creatures that could walk and communicate. Their skin was a deep brown and they bared small fangs at their lower jaw. For many years I spied on this new society. They seemed to adore the earth, and they erected underground temples for worship. I found their methods of paganism slightly odd as they sacrificed many to please the earth, but I came to them and they told me I was welcome. They called themselves the Ma'uberaki.
I felt extremely welcome, and often things seemed to revolve around myself. When I passed, they would stare with eyes of awe and interest. They called me Pale'nor or Pale One. But in time things began to change. Through a bloody battle a new leader imposed his will over the Ma'uberaki, Overlord Garur. The people suffered at his hands, and he took all from them, even their freedom. The events that followed shocked me, this free and earth loving people became increasingly violent and corrupt. Garur had three sons. The elder two fought vigorously for his throne. Even attempting to murder the other. When Garur died, the first son assumed the throne and banished his brothers to the outskirts of the kingdom. The middle son went west to the shores of the Great Sea, while the youngest went south to the Crydun Mountain range.
Another long age of tyranny came to pass, until one day the youngest son, Noros-Athrim, returned from the mountains. In an act of rebellion he took many of the Ma'uberaki and led them south into the mountains. Soon after the second son, Serag-Vrak, also returned, seemingly reformed and perhaps inspired by his younger brother. He put an end to the tyrannical rule of his elder brother, and restored the Ma'uberaki to their shamanistic nature. He renamed them the Marg'han in an effort to shed their dark past, but I fear that scar will never fully heal.
So I followed after Noros-Athrim, into the mountains. I soon found that they had started a new life on the summit of Mt. Nalos. Noros-Athrim seemed to by guided by "Spirits of the Sky" and had changed his name to Norothrim. As time past, I noticed a change seemed to come over them. Perhaps it was because of the cold, or their new found deities but their hair grew long and lighter. They shrunk significantly and became very pale. Although I never saw these spirits, soon I noticed that the followers of Norothrim had a growing affinity for the sky, and, frighteningly, some even seemed to be able to control the winds and storms! They were the Children of the Sky and seemed content to that.
However the Marg'han were unable to let go of their joint past and the differences that now divided them. It seemed like their violent past had returned to haunt them. Soon war broke out and fearing another great cataclysm might be upon us I retreated back into the caves below the Crydun Mountains. However beneath the rock and blood-stained snow I discovered another subterranean civilization!
They were all shockingly like me. Ash gray skin, isolated, slender body shapes, uncommon hair colours, and they too had been disturbed by the war. They rejoiced in my arrival, hailing me as their Sovereign. With my new found brethren behind me I would no longer need to hid in the caverns, away from danger and life. Finally I could help to shape the world around me. Sadly it seemed that the only way this would end would be through war. My brethren found more common ground with the earth loving Marg'han, and frankly Norothrim's ability to control the skies frightened me, soon enough we were fighting along side the Marg'han in an endless bloody war.
And once again my soul wept for the earth shook, and storms raged in the skies."

The Skyseeker Alliance
The Skyseeker Alliance are composed of the dwarven clans who strive to defend their lands from the encroaching Marg'han. Amongst them are the Crydun Clan and the Norothrim Clan. The Skyseekers are naturally in rhythm with the winds and the skies and have a natural talent of manipulating that strong bond to thwart their foes and in general everyday life.
The Norothrim Clan are often known as the Children of the Skies. This stems from the name Noros-Athrim, the youngest child of Overlord Garur who changed his name to Norothrim after the Sky Spirits guided them to Mt. Nalos. The Norothrim reside on Mt. Nalos in the Crydus Mountains. Their major city is Winterfury Keep.
The Crydun Clan is led by Kagin Warfire and live in the southeastern valley. The Cryduns tend to be very intelligent with an insatiable curiosity of the world around them. They're kind and inventive, however they are not known fighters like their Norothrim brothers. Their major city is Cyre.

The Stonetouched
The Stonetouched are an odd alliance between the Pale'nor (Pale Ones) and the Marg'han. Two very different societies. The Stonetouched rely on all sorts of elements to thwart their foes, including the rocks and often the leylines hidden deep beneath the earth. The Stonetouched are mighty warriors and very cunning combatants.
The Marg'han are a shamanistic society that has only recently been restored to its old pagan ways. Temples that were torn down by Overlord Garur were erected once more and the many slaves conscripted themselves into the ranks of Hellhammer. As descendants of the Ma'uberaki, the Marg'han have a long legacy behind them. Their major city is Hellhammer.
The Pale'nor, or Pale Ones, are a different kind to that of the Marg'han. They are frail and cunning and often use magic drawn from leylines to eliminate their foes. The Pale'nor reside in Palemoon Hold below the Crydus Mountains where they furiously battle with the dwarves for control of the mountain range. The Pale'nor also have acute memory and their minds are brilliant, some can even observe the future.
