Plot

After the rebellion, most of the rebels were hung for their crimes against the royal family. That was 10 years ago. The rebels who managed to survive meet in secret, raised families, and have been living among the rest of the citizens. They've been hiding in plain site. Now, after yet another rebel has been caught, they are in danger once again. Who's names did he give away? Who is still safe? In order to protect their families, they've sent their children into the dangerous forest past the city walls. Will they survive? Or will they uprise against the royal family like their parents did years ago...

Summary

You are the child of a rebel. Your parents sent you into the woods with the other rebels' children. You don't know if your family is alive, you don't know what you're getting into. All you have now are the children you've left with. You've heard legends of the forest... of the creatures said to lurk in the shadows. Will you survive the creatures of the forest? Will you return to the city to pick up where your parents left off?

Setting

The City
This RP is based off of medieval times type era (think Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Braveheart, etc). The city is run by the royal family and their soldiers who patrol the streets. The city centre is where the castle is, there are markets and festivals here often. It is the busiest place in the city. Past the markets are the homes and home-run businesses like blacksmiths and teachers (school is held at teacher's houses). Past the houses are the farmers and the farmers land. Farmers often make the commute from their properties to the city centre to sell their food at the markets. After this is a small area of forest lining the city then a circle wall protecting the city from the outside.

The Forest
The forest has many different biomes. The deeper into the forest you go, the more varieties of biomes there are. First, there is the forest (think boreal). Then, it slowly turns to jungle. There are mountains littered throughout the forest and jungle with snowy tops. Past the jungle is the desert. No one has crossed the desert to tell what lies beyond.

The Creatures
There are legends of creatures that once lived in the forest, like centaurs and elves. Some believe they still exist and are still out there planning an attack on the humans for isolating themselves from them.

The Animals
Every person born is spirit linked to an animal in the forest. Both have a strong instinct to find each other. It is a tradition among the city folk to send their 8 year olds into the forest to find their spirit animal. At the same time, the animal is searching for its linked human. Nowadays, not many people have animals as they are too scared to venture into the forest. They are losing the instinct to find their spirit animal.
