《Chosen - A CYOARPG》Prologue - Silverbane City
Advertisement
With how torn you are between the city and the town, your choice is left to fate.
On a roll of 1-50, you will be born within a town.
On a roll of 51-100, you will be born within a city.
[Rolling D100]
Roll: 72 - City
How fortunate that you are going to find yourself within a city. Residing within the heart of the Silvers region, Silverbane is one of the largest cities within the realm ruled by Queen Amindal and her husband, King Rovar. The pair that rule the city are Margave Ornal Silverbane and Margrave Lindia Silverbane, whose family the city was named after generations ago. In another timeline, it could have been possible that the Silverbanes could have been the rulers of the realm, but it is what it is.
This city is also home to two more noble families, both sworn to the Margaves. There is the Lord in Arms Harold Blackburn, a bachelor in his mid-40s, who made his name on the battlefield having saved the Margaves life more than once. Then there are Barons James Littlewick and Baron Joanne Littlewick, whose family was uplifted to Barons when the Silverbanes became the Margraves generations ago by the original rulers that conquered the realm.
Lord Mayor, an honourary ranking rather than actual nobility, goes to Lilia Blackmarsh, a distant relative of the current Lord in Arms. Though also part of the war effort, a harsh injury left her unable to continue. Margave Lindia lifted her into the role of Lord Mayor. It is rumoured that she could have been made a Lord in Arms as well if she hadn’t been injured.
Well, what’s happened has happened. At least she isn’t stuck in the middle of the void, shackled for eternity so I don’t think she can complain.

Right, sorry.
The city is supported by a retinue of a Miayan typically. Excuse me, a hundred or so guards. A Miayan is typically used to describe a hundred or so soldiers, guards and the like. The Margrave has his own personal army as well as some knights. Most nobles have knights, but only certain nobles have a professional army at the ready.
If you find yourself wanting for anything, the city is the perfect place. Market stalls are common place, with travelling merchants making seasonal trips, and the stores about the city can accommodate most items you may require.
Probably the most important thing you need to know about the city is its Religious Orders.
This city is fanatical about its religion. When the Silverbane first took power all those years ago, it was mostly because of her ruthless slaughtering of any lycanthropes that once dwelled within their lands.
Due to this there is a temple dedicated to Silversmith, the minor God of monster hunting, holds quite a bit of influence even in comparison to the temple dedicated to the main gods. You’ll find paladins and priests wield large amounts of power and influence, and are quite the rowdy bunch.
Most of the other organisations don’t need to be mentioned at this point, the temple is the main one that you really need to worry about.
The main question though…
Is who are you?
I can give you several options.
My powers are limited at this moment, so I can’t offer much more than this.
Firstly your gender.
Male?
Female?
Then comes your background.
Were you raised in a temple?
Were you raised as a crafter?
Were you raised within a military household?
Were you raised on the streets?

Domain of Man
Isolation is terrible. To feel isolated with your fellow man around you is worse. What if you were dumped in some backwards cave somewhere, completely nude, maybe with your family, or even completely alone? The age of pioneers, heroes, generals, and geniuses is long gone. Humankind has become numb to the world around it because of how paltry everything else is compared to the glory of its history, the sheer volume of their accomplishments, and the sum of its innovations. You can interact with people across the world, travel miles in mere hours, and never prepare your own food or shelter, and it's all accessible to even the normalest of individuals. Artificial intelligence is within arms reach in devices and computers and even houses, and neural interfaces aren't exclusive to the rich and powerful at this point. Someone far in the distance took notice of Earth, saw the multitude of hairless apes swarming its surface. That one went down the checklist to see if humanity had, in fact, beaten the 'game' of Life. Sure enough, they had gone above and beyond the requirements, but nobody had been watching. 'Why might that be?', that one wondered. Protocol was protocol, though, no matter how strange the situation was. They pulled the lever, they flipped the switch. It's time for New Game +. ???
