 ====== Welcome to Onwards! ======
-It is the 1st of January, 1700. During the New Year's revelry, the imperial family disappeared. In the [[cities:Shandarsher|capital]], rumours abound: some speak of poison, others of [[Magic|fell magic]]. Others still think it divine retribution for a life of iniquity and sin. However it happened, the fact remains the [[Eternal Emperor]] is gone along with their family. There is no heir. The [[Imperial Senate]] convened in the early hours of the morning and devolved into a drunken brawl killing five [[Senator|senators]] and wounding dozens. News is spreading up and down the [[Sinhogi]]. Unrest brews across the [[continents:Onwards|continent]].

 You, though, are something like an ambitious noble, maybe a merchant, or perhaps even a particularly charismatic commoner and you see //opportunity//.

 ===== What's the big idea? =====
-Onwards! is a play-by-poast multiplayer role-playing war game that takes place across the continent of [[Onwards]] "in real time". You play a [[characters|character]] in charge of an army/warband/fleet during a civil war in the [[countries:Eternal Empire]], and so do the other players. Because the smartphone hasn't been invented yet, unless you are in the same room as another player, you will have to send your messages/orders/insults by [[Game Master|horse]], and that means they will take time to arrive (there is [[Sinhogi|one exception]], though). By the same token, you can't be in two places at once, and if you need to split your forces, that means another player needs to control that force.

 Think Mount & Blade or Heroes of Might & Magic III, but played //very slowly.//

 If you’d like to join an existing faction all you really need to do is talk to people in that faction to see whose retinue you’re getting split off from and what forces you get.
