Welcome to Demeria/The Victors' Spoils!

[Grandmaster]

Thank you for stopping in to read over our forum and consider joining!

The Kingdom of Demeria/The Victors' Spoils is an original concept created by the three staff members, based on ideas from historical incidents and kingdoms, research into medieval life, with a nod to some of our favorite fantasy and historical fiction authors to craft an active (and interactive) Court where the game of politics is played out by the innocent and the scheming alike with one goal in mind: winning.

Based on the real world years of 1500-1600, The Victors' Spoils is loosely based on the courts of Le Roi François de France and King Henry VII/VIII of England. Political machinations, technology, methods of warfare and travel, societal customs and fashion are loosely based to reflect those time periods with one major exception - right now, there is no gunpowder, therefore no pistols, muskets or cannon. This may change, but for now, warfare is on a early to mid Renaissance level.

We emphasize realistic play in Demeria, where actions inevitably carry consequences and words can be wielded like weaponry. As with any realistic setting, there will be times when skirmishes, battles and duels break out.. so don't fear, there will be some action to be found!

The majority of play occurs within the Kingdom's capitol of Triadon so that there is the maximum amount of character interaction. There will be times when characters return to their home duchies, or the Court travels, however - we are open to play in nearly every posted location within Demeria, but encourage as much focus in Triadon as possible.

If you have any concerns or questions, please don't be shy about sending a PM or email to the staff, or posting a question in the c-box. We welcome any questions you have.

Welcome to Demeria!
