In the Mediterranean, two powers wage war. Expanding from Turkey through Greece and into France is the Helion Empire, an empire of Angels. From Morocco to Arabia stretches the Djinni Empire. Between them, Spain is split. In the south-west, the seat of power rests in the Palace of Alhambra in the splendid city of Granada; the region is under the power of the Djinn, and the resplendent palace is awash with gold, precious gems, and human slaves. Alongside these slaves serve Angel war prisoners. While free human tribes seek to liberate slaves and preserve the dignity of the species, the various races of the Djinn quarrel among themselves, barely containing their prejudices for the sake of uniting against the invasion of their northern borders.
Our roleplay centres around the Alhambra. The palace is extensive and few of us will have actually ever been there, so don't panic: you don't need to know your way around. Boards provided are of a few key places, but they are selective and in no way representative of the whole place. Descriptions and virtual tours are linked in 'Helpful Links'.
The setting is really rough -- and I mean really, really rough. Elements of the entire Mediterranean region spanning from 70 B.C. to 1492 A.D. are acceptable, and we won't get really mad at you if you ignore some key elements (we certainly did) like world history and religion. It's fun. It's fantasy. It doesn't all have to make perfect sense... let's just keep the feel of it, shall we?
