What is KoTM?

KoTM is an AOL chat based role playing system. It is set in the kingdom of Therad Mol which is an island continent. There are many different races that are around and the setting is fantasy/medieval. It is governed by the Zoax family which has grown rather large. There is the king and his two wives. With his current wives, as well as his previous, he has sired a total of 2 boys and 3 girls. The kingdom is peaceful most of the times, but from time to time there may be raids by pirates or wars with neighboring isles. All these things are governed by Game Masters, or GMs, who plan out adventures for the PC's (Player Characters) to interact with. There is also a large bit of free form gaming involved within the chat rooms as well as the message boards. Many think that KoTM is the best place around, I tend to agree, but then, I may be a little bit biased.... NAHHH it is a great place to be.

How it came to be

KoTM started as just a history for a role playing character that was used in the AOL chat rooms for many years. It started out as simply his land of birth. I gradually added to this history to make it more interesting and added little details here and there. It kept growing into what you see today. Over the many years of role playing on AOL, D&D offline, G.U.R.P.S., super hero's, Palladium, Car Wars, Boat Wars, Cyber Punk and many more, I have kind of gotten a feel for gaming. I thought I would try and bring forth a simple to use and understand system for use in the chat rooms, that would not limit the free form aspect of the role play that is already there. I think I have come up with a system that does just that. I have seen an idea or two along the way, that have influenced the way I have set things up, but in the end, hard work and my over active imagination have brought forth what you see here.

History of the Island Nation

It was a land of strange people.They were mostly normal , but unlike most, they were eternally loyal to the line of their Lord. For several hundred century, they had followed the Zoax clan. Late at the end of Alexin Zoax's rein, Stonnewolf's great father , the curse of the Zoax's befel them. It was the curse of the Wolf Kindred. Alexin's advisor thought him just a feeble old fool and thought that the spell he had discovered wold turn the old man into a wolf, completely, along with his son and that he would be able to become the new Lord of the land. What he didn't know, what many didn't know, was that the Zoax's were inborn with the ability to talk to wolves. This spell only changed them part way, they got the golden eyes, the larger canines, the pointed ears and the ability to shift into wolves. Together they killed the advisor, both in their wolf forms, to say his plan had backfired would be an understatement. Alexin, unable to manage the new powers well died almost a year later. His son, Sholderan, felt that to fit their name he would take the name of wolf to the end of the sur, to show that they would embrace their new nature. So Sholderanwolf became the king and ruled for several hundred years, having only one son but several daughters.After his death, his son Coldwolf took over and found the dark arts, these practices slowly took their toll upon him. His mind eroded and madness set in. Stonnewolf, still a young man, at least for their life span, killed his father after his father killed his mother. He wept for days then set out to see the world, running from his memories and the visions of the dead. He came to Rhydin after several hundred years but this land is still his own. He has returned and claimed his throne.

 

The Castle

The village that grew up and around the abbey lies huddled within the fortifications. The fortifications include crenellated ramparts, towers and a barbican, which reinforce the abbey's own defenses. The castle itself is surrounded by a great open chasm filled with sharp spikes and blades, under which live strange carnivorous beasts. Farther in from this is a large moat. Twin draw bridges span these gaps to protect the castle proper. The rear of the castle sets near the edge of a great cliff that drops all teh way to the seas below. Off to the west lies a great mountain range. To the East lies the great desert waste known as The Great Waste, which is also where one of the main incomes of the nation is harvested, it is known as spice. It's other major product is tabac from which it is known far and wide as one of the best in all the lands.
