| The Kingdom of Ribenheim Welcome to the main page for The Kingdom of Ribenheim. This game has existed in several forms over the years.This part of the site is currrently under construction. Check back often for updates and new information! |
| The World of Ribenheim is a turbalent place. Humans have battled Elves for as long as anyone can remember. Dwarves have faded into the Myths and Legends of Time while Goblins, Minotaurs and Faeries exist only in the minds of children. Magic has left the lands, those that are touched by it are exiled or killed by villagers seeking to please the Gods. Ribenheim is the largest of the Eight Human Kingdoms, nearly as large as the other seven combined. But while the Lesser Kingdoms, as they have come to be called, battle each other for dominance, Ribenheim has fought bigger, stronger foes: its Elven Neighbors, protecting all of mankind from the hubric Elves. Hatred for the Elves runs blood deep in Ribenheim. But all is not well. Even as the King returned from War, a peace-treaty with the Elves in hand, the Queen was stricken down with an illness.Luckily she survived the reported Assassination attempt though one never came against the Crown Prince with whome the hopes of the Kingdom rest. Should something happen to the Crown Prince, however, there are many that would be willing to take his place on the Throne once the King dies. Speculation as to whom had poisoned here flooded the court. Some suggested poison, others that her Chamber Maid had done it. Other rumors were much harder to believe, but all were silenced when the King returned and banished all such talk in the court. Peace with the Elves has bought him time, how long will it last? The King himself looks aged beyond his years, war weariness and the weight of the World on his shoulders weighing him down. The Tides of War are coming again, he knows, but will Ribenheim be able to weather the Storm alone? The Prince, 18 years of age, is of age to be married. The future of the Kingdom lies with him and he will need a wife. No simple task as there are many that wish to pursue him. Some options are better then others and the fate of the Kingdom rests in the decision. If all that was not bad enough, an upstart Religion preaching about the One True God has spread like wildfire across the Kingdom. The Old Ways are on their way out, or so it would seem. If the people do not keep to the Old Ways then the Gods and Goddesses were surely leave Ribenheim to its own fate. But will this new religion fade out like so many before it? Will the Old Ways still remain? |
