OOC:
This RPG is loosly based on a game called "The Elder Scrolls III; Oblivion". If you've ever played it, you'll most definitely notice the differences, and if you haven't, know that I'm not really spoiling anything. Since there wasn't a forum for game based RPs, I just figured that it would fit in with general fantasy.
It's a long one. When I was wiritng it my sister came by and was like "Are you writing a roleplay or a novel?" and later on "So, when are you going to get it published?"
OI, update: here are some maps from the game. The first is a map with only the main towns and locations visible, the second is a very LARGE image with every single location in the GAME marked on it. However, you may feel free to make shit up.

Raijirri Monsef stirred on her "bed" which consisted of some straw on a stone slab. She sat up and bit her lip as she stretched her aching muscles, the sleeves of her shirt riding up and displaying a long ornate tattoo. She quickly tugged down her sleeves and stood.
Pain screamed up her stiff legs and she grabbed onto the stone walls to keep from doubling over. The ragged sackloth encasing her legs were torn, revealing welts where she'd been beaten when she was interogated, the shackles that had been placed on her ankles had left ugly, bloody wounds and these had been washed and bound with more rough sackloth to cause her greater discomfort.
She walked about the cell to ease the pain, and as she neared the barred door the dark elf in the cell across moved forward and spoke with a leer.
"Well, you're a pretty one, aren't you? What are you in for, harlotry?"
Jirri ignored him and turned her back to him, but there was no way to escapse his words in the small cell.
"Have the guards bestowed their... favors upon you yet? No matter, they soon will. Unless..."
His eyes lit up as her surveyed her, mentaly undressing her. She felt his gaze and turned to face him with a glare.
"I could ask the guards to transfer you to my cell... I'd protect you... for a small fee."
He grinned wolfishly and Jirri was enraged. She resisted both urges to spit or fry his ass with a well cast fireball and instead she smiled mockingly.
"I doubt you could afford my price, and even if you could, I'd rather swim through a school of slaughterfish. Enwah!"
The dark elf growled with anger and flung his water pot against the iron bars, serving only to shatter it into a thousand pieces. The sound of a door opening caused him to calm instantly.
"You hear that? The guards are coming. They're coming for you, that's right OUTCAST, you're going to DIE in here."
Jirri's mind reeled. Die? She glanced around her small cell. It was roughly 5'-8' with three stone walls, the fourth being made of iron bars. A small window was lodged in the far wall, but it was small and let in little light. There was a torch near the door, beyond the bars, but the light was dim and most of the room wast cast in deep shadows. A stone slab protruded from the left wall and shackles of various lengths dangled from the ceiling above it. There was a tiny wooden table and chair on the right wall with a clay pitcher and cup on top, both empty. There were bones in the corner, a ribcage, a skull, spinal disks... She'd thrown them there when she'd first been given this cell. She shuddered. She did not want to die in here.
A sudden thought gave her pause and she brushed her fingers against the tattoo on her forhead. He'd called her an outcast, recognized her tattoos, the brand that her clan of mystic elves used when banishments took place. She'd been banished from her clan as soon as she'd come of age at 13, the tattoos at first painful, and now a constant reminder of the shame she'd endured for her mothers indescretions. How did he, a dark elf, an outsider know her clans ceremonial markings? He must have gotten around. Damned dark elf.
A loud clang caused her to jump and whirl around. Her cell door was open an the captain of the guards motioned for her to come. Her heart sank. They had indeed come for her. She went to the doorway where he was standing, and only then did he speak.
"Prisoner Raijirri Monsef. You have been ordered to appear before Magistrate Marcus Andoran for a review of your case."
She looked up at him.
"Magistrate Andoran? Who?"
"Please, save your questions for him."
He motioned for her to follow, and she obeyed, ignoring the lewd comments of the dark elf. The captain, however, did NOT ignore him, instead he slammed his shield against the cell door where the dark elfs face had been.
"Shut up, pig."
Jirri hid her grin and followed the captain into the receiving room, pausing only slightly when he stood at attention. The large room was black as pitch with the exception of the glow cast by a four branched candleabra on the huge oak desk. As her eyes grew accustomed to the darkness she noted the outline of several doorways much like the one she'd just come through, and one HUGE doorway, the two story doors intimidating and heavy looking. The magistrate was already seated behind the desk, a scroll open in front of him. He glanced at her, and then looked down at the scroll.
"Prisoner Raijirri Monsef."
She nodded.
"Well, I must say that you're not exactly what I expected. I und-"
"If you please sir."
She intturupted.
"What happened to Magistrate Thorn? I've only been in prison for..."
She paused, not sure how to continue. In all actuality she had no IDEA how long she'd been in this forsaken place, everyday waking in painm every day being insulted anew by the dark elf bastard, Every day living in darkness.
"7 Months, 14 days, 6 hours, and 24 minutes."
The magistrate supplied.
"Far too long for a woman with no criminal record and no official charges. Magistrate Thorn has been removed from office and executed for his cromes against the empire.
"We have since discovered that he has put several people into prison at will, with no charges brought or pressed. We have been reviewing each case and today is your lucky day. Woul,d you care to tell us the truth as to your sentence?"
Jirri swallowed and gaped, still trying to absorb the situation and shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"Truth? I... I insulted him."
The magistrate nodded, as if he'd been expecting this hugely shortened version of the event, and didn't care. He did not press the matter.
"I understand. Raijirri Monsef; your case has been reviewed and found lacking in sufficient grounds or evidence. You are free to go."
He motioned to the captain who turned to her and handed her a small roll of papers. The magistrate spoke again.
"Miss Monsef, this is a writ of purchase for the local clothiers. Get yourself some new garments. Also included is a writ of release for all property and items that were taken from you upon imprisonment. There is one other, personal matter I wish to discuss with you.
"Captain, you may go."
Jirri noted that the magistrate waited until the captain had saluted and gone, shutting the heavy doors behind him, before he turned to her again.
"I understand that in your life before prison you were very skilled at... procuring certain items, shall we say..."
"I was never charged, you have no proof."
Raijirri spouted, defensively.
"Now now,"
The magistrate took a soothing tone.
"Remember, this os no longer official business, this is just a chat between peers.
"Now, here's my proposition. I am a... collector of fine and rare items and several items about the city have come to my attention. I would like very much to own these items and would pay you very highly if they could be aquired for me, no questions asked."
He curled his hands together and smiled as she cocked her head to the side, considering, her lips curling up in reply.
"No questions asked hmm? Alright, Mr. Magistrate, you have yourself a deal. Just consider me your personal 'procurer'."
"Excelent! we have an accord then."
He stood and motioned her to the huge oak doors at the other end of the room.
"Freedom awaits."
Raijirri forced herself to maintain a walk, and not run as she headed toward the exit and leaned into the heavy doors as they slowely opened, letting pure, bright sunlight stream into the room. She squinted and blinked, shading her eyes with her hand and taking a deep breath of fresh crisp air.
She was finally free.
