The city stops today as a rare break in the clouds has everyone excited and people take to the street to enjoy the freak weather. Lapstov still rocks gently in the wind, floating in the sky above a ragged ocean. The many islands that make up the city are tethered together by great beams of light which converge on the central island that sits atop a pillar of light that goes deep down into the ocean and some say all the way down to the core.
Lapstov was created over 400 years ago by The Order Of Enlightened Men who still to this day remian secluded in the Obelisk of Truth passing out their Infallible word of rule through the crystal transmission network. The state provides all the essentials like housing, food etc. and money is only used for items not in abundance like weapons, magic items etc. There's magic everywhere, flying boats transport people around; people go and watch the deadly magic games at the weekend; every shop sells magic or 'advanced' technology........... Most unusual is the myriad of different races that live together and the peculiar living constructs called warforged, relics from the violent founding of Lapstov. Shrouded in mystery and legend The Founding was a war against the Merfolk, the warforged were created to steal their great secret but instead waged a full blown war that destroyed all the Merfolk. Today the warforged remain subservient and untrusted, some have broken free of their masters and gone underground.
For a few years now the system seems to be breaking down, with people going homeless or hungry. On this sunny day off you come across a man in the street attracting quite a crowd
"....the food is running out people! Don't you see? It's the the free warforged they're" the man's sentence is cut short as he's cut down by warforged with a greatsword and a green star painted on his chest. (this is the start of the game where you as concerned citizens don't run like the rest of the crowd and take it upon yourselves to catch or destroy the killer and follow the trail of clues to the source of the problems occurring in Lapstov)
Looking for players: I'll be running this game in the summer, already have two players one who will be playing by skype. It will be an eberron based game with the setting and the system adapted for pathfinder. Post if your interested in playing and what sort of character design your after so we can work on fitting it in.
