Site link:Castle North Wind
One day, a man wearing a blue cape passed through South Window, a province of the Jowstone republic, in search for his lost love who was said to have been taken to the nearby area. He was quite blunt in his assessment of the locale and moved on quickly, towards the north where he had heard, from Lord Granmeyer, his love had been taken to.
The lone man entered the castle and had found nothing. Having been told that that would be the initial result, he decided to be relentless and set up camp there. For if he could not recover his lost love, then he had no true purpose in life. Whilst remaining within the old walls, he heard a strange sound coming from the keep, up amongst the ruins of the castle. Carefully navigating his way to the location of the noise, he found a large room that opened out with views to the south. Posted on ancient metal poles set into stone were crumbling flags of a dead nation. But even more peculiar was the lock of red hair that he found upon the stone floor and without a doubt he knew that it belonged to his beloved.
Vowing to find her eventually, he decided he would remain in the city against a possible solution to the problem at hand. It was the first lead he had found, and guessed that if he stayed, he could possibly chance upon another clue.
Another subsequent night a few days later a strange blue glow came from the room. He scrambled up there in a rush to find a strange hooded woman with long flowing black hair. She had a regal bearing about her and penetrating deep black eyes that bespoke of wisdom.
"Young man, you are the one who is to bring purpose to this place, the one whom will set the stone for the Stars of Destiny to be etched upon. Stand fast, for the future is one of a dark haze, truly the stars cannot speak with certainty that which is yet to be decided. Though you may be forgiven in your purpose to quest for a loved one, your selfish resolves will lead to something much grander. I feel the ebb and flow of time, and with it comes a calling for a gathering. A dark haze is beginning to cloud my vision, and with it's presence comes a greater threat. Within the centre of the haze I see a shining light of hope; praise for a group of valiant warriors to gather and rebuild something that was once lost. Be steadfast in your quest and never falter, as the stars once more begin to gather together."
The woman left in a shimmering haze of light that took the man quite by surprise. He was left to ponder the woman's words and spent the next week assessing the ruins and deciding what could be repaired and what had to be removed. It was as if he were in a blind stupor. The woman had told him that he that he had a purpose deeper then his simple love, one which could bend fate. Perhaps in doing so he could regain that which he had lost. He had a task to do and thus he would complete it.
The man sent an edict out to South Window, taking it straight to Granmeyer himself and asking for aid. In exchange for an eventual agreement of alliance Granmeyer decided that he would aid the young man and gave the support of his council over to the man known as the Blue Thunder. In doing this, he also sent out missives to other states that basically stated that rewards and positions of power would be given to any, regardless of their past, if they would come and aid in the restoration of North Wind. He was one step closer to his destiny, one which itself seemed hazy.
Other troubling events have also started to occur. It is only a speculated rumor, but it is spoken that a violent plague of death and destruction in the form of a dark army is sweeping the lands; and that the True Runes have been going into hiding. Do these strange events have anything to do with his rebuilding of the castle?
Only time will tell as the stars begin to gather once more. Fate will deal a hand of jokers before the night is through, and only time will tell who will live to see another day.
.:Summary:.
Flik was told that it is his ultimate destiny to create a place for the meeting of the Stars of Destiny. The Castle of North Wind is the new meeting place of the stars, but is it merely the ideal layout, the perfect placement of the gates, the unlimited potential? With rumors of a true rune under CNW spreading and the arrival of black armies intent in taking over, it would appear that Flik's part in the story is over... now it is time for the destiny of the stars to take over!

Flik was told that it is his ultimate destiny to create a place for the meeting of the Stars of Destiny. The Castle of North Wind is the new meeting place of the stars, but is it merely the ideal layout, the perfect placement of the gates, the unlimited potential? With rumors of a true rune under CNW spreading and the arrival of the Black Rune Hunters (Windy's servents) intent in taking over, it would appear that Flik's part in the story is over... now it is time for the destiny of the stars to take over!
.:Castle North Wind:.
The castle stands upon a headland, ringed by the great Lake of Dunan. It was once a place of abundance and prosperity yet somehow became run-down and turned into ruins. No one knows the answers as to why or how it fell, or when it happened. All that is known is that the former lord abandoned his post in the middle of a siege, taking to a raft that he set sail on at the rear of the castle, and was never heard from again.
However, a young warrior named Sheena made a deal with the mayor of South Window, Granmeyer. The deal was for him to send some workers to turn the ruins into its original state. In return, he would be granted military backup. Granmeyer agreed to this and the castle is now back to the the way it once was.
.:History of Wars:.
Gate Rune War (Suikoden 1): Yes, this war occured. However, the Liberation forces eventually lost with a final sweep of Babarossa's remaining forces and the aid of Lady Windy's magic. All five generals are still alive and well and under the influence of Windy.
note - The Liberation army consisted of unknown characters. Tir, Flik, Viktor, Odessa or any of the others were never part of the army.
Dunan Unification War: Castle North Wind is set before the events that set off a war between Highland and the Jowston City-States, so any events that occured during that time period have not yet transpired.
All wars previous to the war of the Dunan Unification war (Shown in Suikoden 2) have occured, as well as all major plot points. However, it is possible that some concepts will be changed and/or altered during the course of the RP, so it is not necessary to have 100% knowledge of Suikoden history.
.:Characters:.
Note that True Runes and advanced runes are not available for you character when you start, despite whether or not they have that rune in question during the game, unless it is allowed by the admin.
There will be differences with the main canon characters that may affect your character. Make sure to double check everything before creating your character's history. Changes to new characters will be added at your discretion.[/i]
Anabelle: Heads the City State council in Muse, she was never assassainated by Jowy Artriedes and continues to remain strong and resiliant. The establishment of a city within one of the provinces she has control over may give her cause to react. Whether or not that will be in a positive or negative way is yet to be determined.
Flik: Of the Warrior's Village, he never joined in the liberation army, as that war never occurred in completeness. Having his beloved, Odessa, snatched away in the middle of the night, he has spent his days searching for her with the belief that she is still alive. Her traces take him to North Wind and when Leknaat tells him that to get her back he will have to restore the city, he immediately sets to the task without reluctance.
Gorudo: Never died at the hands of Riou because Highland never invaded and thus he had no reason to go corrupt and sell out the Matilda Knights. During the Second Event in this Role-play, he was murdered by Zaj.
Granmeyer: The wise elderly mayor of South Window. Due to the war never occurring, he never died and thus remains alive and well. In an act to gain the military backup of Castle North Wind, he funds some workers to rebuild the Castle.
Leknaat: Bearer of half of the Gate Rune, she appears from time to time in the castle to guide the Stars, though her true intents are yet to be known.
Luca Blight: Never died at the hands of the liberation forces of Dunan, as he never caused treasonous acts against his homeland. He is said to be slightly insane and power hungry, yet remains within Highland plotting something sinister.
Neclord: He was never defeated and still works with Lady Windy. There are rumors that he is in the area, but none are founded with facts.
Odessa Silverburg: From a long line of scholars, Odessa Silverburg was never the foundation for a liberation act against the Scarlet Moon Empire. In fact, she resided in Kuskus as a dancer until she met Flik.
The Flame Champion: Never died from deciding to remove and seal his rune after the tragic events that ended the first Fire Bringer war. Instead he is troubled when his rune suddenly rejects him, leaving only a trace pulse of itself with him, and fleeing into the distance.
Viktor: He never participated in any of the wars either, as a major factor behind the outcome. And he does not possess the Star Dragon Sword, but may later locate it.
Windy: Leknaat's sister and advisor to the Scarlet Moon Empire. She bears the other half of the Gate Rune and remains within her province. She never killed Ted and never died herself. However, in the past at Gregminister, she did steal the 'Soul Eater' Rune from Ted. It cannot be confirmed that she has any control of the rune, or whether she has even had it attached to her.
Tir: He was never the leader of the liberation army and never even left Gregminister until now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -
1st Battle: North Castle Army vs Undead Army (General: Rean Penenberg)
Rean Penenberg is sent to attack Castle North Wind and retrieve the True Rune which Windy knew to lie dormant inside of the castle. The castle town had just been given to Flik Remora; to reconstruct and rebuild. Rean Penenberg sent wave after wave of zombie and undead warriors to attack the fledgling castle town. Several Stars of Destiny had already gathered in Castle North Wind, and they defended it valiantly. The waves of undead troops overwhelemed the Stars of Destiny at the onset of the battle, and forced them to retreat to inside of the castle. Klaus Windaimer, a stratigest from Highland, had formulated a plan to defeat Rean Penanbergs' forces (which had taken up residence in a gigantic obelisk, which had appeared outside of the castle town). Klaus' plan was a complete success, and each part of it played out as it had been planned. Viktor, Pesmerga, and the Flame Champion (a hero from Grasslands) had reached the top of the enemy obelisk, and battled Rean Penanberg himself. Rean Penanberg fought viciously, but was defeated by Viktor, who cut off his hand, and removed the Black Rune, which Windy had been using to control Rean.
Then, Clive awakened his True Rune that lay dorment inside Storm and used it's power on the obelisk. The Obelisk crumbled, and fell to the ground. Rean Penanberg escaped, and took along with him Sana. (a young girl whom had been travelling with the Flame Champion) Odessa Silverberg (the love of Flik Remora and member of the famous Silverberg family) was saved. Viktor and Pesmerga escaped, but the Flame Champion however, was not seen after the tower crumbled, it is unknown whether he survived the battle or not.
Aftermath:
(After the obelisk crumbled, Castle North Wind continued it's reconstruction and the remains of the obelisk were removed and destroyed during the reconstruction)
2nd Battle: North Castle Army vs Imperial Army (General: Teo McDohl)
After her first attack on Castle North Wind was a failure. Windy turns to one of her most trusted and powerful generals, Teo McDohl. She grants him the rune of Life and Death, the "Soul Eater" a True Rune that she had recieved by taking it from it's past bearer. (Teo McDohl however was under the control of a "Black Rune" a rune Windy uses to control any and everyone using the mother rune for the Black Runes, her Conqueror Rune)
Teo McDohl moved to attack Dunan, but met a suprise at the borderline outpost. Half of his men, that were stationed at the borderlnie outpost, were gone. Upon questioning a soldier, he discovered that his own son, Tir McDohl, who had left the Empire months beforehand, had organized a mass defection of troops to Dunan. In disbelief Teo continued fowards to do battle with his own son. The battle raged fiecely, and due to planning by Tir, Camus, and Viktor, Castle North Wind defeated Teo McDohl's undefeated unit of Armored Calvary. Teo retreated back to the Scarlet Moon Empire.
Aftermath: Castle North Wind's reconstruction is completed, and the Castle town is reopened. Many warriors, soldiers, and commonfolk alike gather for a great feast. Leeknat, the executor of balance, appears and sets a quest before the Stars of Destiny who have gathered at the castle.
3rd Battle: Greenhill and Matilda borderline Battle
Further enraged that she had failed twice to gain the True Rune dormant in Castle North Wind, Windy decided that she would destroy Dunan from the inside out. Beginning with Greenhill. Windy saw the weakness in Matilda and believed she could manipulate its leader Gorudo into attacking Greenhill. She sends Zaj to Rockaxe and he successfully persuades Gorudo to invade Greenhill, with the help of a highland army.
As soon as the Matilda troops cross the border, Greenhill begin to attack. Klaus and Seed (who were working for Greenhill) acted as if they were fighting for the Matilda. Gorudo was called back due to an event back at Rockaxe, and from there, the Greenhill forces managed to defeat Matilda's army. In addition, Klaus and Seed managed to persuade some confused Matilda/Highland soldiers to fight for them.
Aftermath: During the borderline battle, Zaj assasinated the leader of the Matilda Knights, Gorudo. Putting Miklotov into command of Matilda. Miklotov however, isn't a viable leader and goes off to search for Camus. Camus returns to Matilda, and repairs the damage done by the borderline battle by apologizing to Lady Teresa for Gorudo's cowardice and treachery. With the apology accepted, the city-states were as whole as ever, and Lady Windy had failed once again.
4th Battle: Muse Army (Generals: Hauser) vs. Highland's 4th Army (Generals: Klaus Windaimer and Solon Jhee)
Highland had amassed troops at the borderline of Dunan, and were planning on attacking Dunan with a massive front. Word however, reached Muse about increasing Highland activity at the borderlines. Annabelle, not wanting to be caught off guard by the Highland forces, ordered an attack on the Highland fortress; Fort Rhetto. Led by Hauser, the Muse Army attacked the legendary fortress. Klaus however, was well prepared as usual. Using himself as bait, he lured Hausers forces into close range, and set off a wall of fire which damaged Muse's forces heavily. Solon Jhee, general of Highland's 4th Army, then charged out of the nearby forest, and finished his work made easy. The battle concluded, with a complete victory for Highland. Hauser, the general of Muse's Army was taken prisoner. And the 4th Army returned to Highland with their new prize.
Aftermath: Both Solon Jhee, and Klaus returned to Highland. Klaus was made governor of Kyaro by Luca Blight. Hauser was later released to Muse to allow passage through the borderline. The battle however, had other non-seen ramafacations which affected Highland deeply.
5th Battle: South Window Armed Forces vs Imperial Army (Generals: Teo McDohl, Tir McDohl, Viktor Belgest, and Lepant)
Windy had put Tir McDohl and Viktor under her mind control, two important leaders of Castle North Wind. Teo McDohl had captured his own son when Tir attempted to infiltrate Gregminister alone, and Viktor was captured when he attempted to save a friend of his that had been captured by the Empire.
This attack was by far the largest yet in the New Rune War. Windy sent Teo McDohl, Tir McDohl, Viktor, and Lepant (who had joined the war at the request of Teo) to attack the city of South Window. The Imperial Army completely overwhelms the forces of South Window, who put up a valiant defense. Viktor takes Granmeyer hostage and interogates him to find out informatinon on Castle North Wind. The citizens of South Window are ordered to obey the Imperial Army at all times, and that their city now belonged to the Empire.
Aftermath: The Imperial Army sets up camp outside of the city of South Window. They regroup, and begin to organize their massive attack on Castle North Wind which was to come in the future. Kreutz, an ex-general of the Scarlet Moon Empire, attacked the camp in a rage. He is subdued instantly, and moved to Gregminister prison to be locked away. Flik recieves word of South Window being taken by the Empire, and prepares North Castle Army for the battle to come, he also recieves aid from Matilda, who responded instantly to his call for assistance thanks to Camus, who was now the new leader of Matilda. Flik had now become the bearer of the Sabbath Rune, the very rune that the war had begun over by this point in time.
6th Battle: Klaus Windaimer's Forces vs Royal Guard Forces (Generals: Luca Blight, Alonzo De Voza)
Klaus Windaimer led several thousand troops in a daring attack on the Highland capital castle of L'Renouille in an attempt to oust the insane king Luca Blight. Klaus had amassed an incredible force, augmented by several very powerful generals. Solon Jhee, the legendary Highland general, Rowd, the captain of the Unicorn Brigade, Sheena a talented young swordsman from the Scarlet moon Empire, Riou, a young warrior from Kyaro, and Lucia, cheif of the Karaya Clan. Leading a suprise attack on the castle, the royal guard, the White Wolf were caught off guard initially and Klaus' forces stormed into the castle. The White Wolf however, quickly organized and launched counter-attacks as the battle continued. Each general took his own path, Sheena to one wing, Solon to the other. Rowd himself (with the help of Shinobi) managed to follow Klaus, who had headed to the throne room to confront Luca himself.
Klaus challegned Luca, which no man had ever dared to do. Klaus however, seemed less and less human with each passing second. It was in fact the doing of the Beast Rune, which was channeling it's power through Klaus for reasons unknown. A battle between the two ensued, as Rowd and Shinobi both looked on. The battle ended in the victory of Klaus, who had knocked Luca completely unconsious. The Beast Rune ceased to channel energy through Klaus almost as soon as the battle had ended. When the battle concluded, Shinobi and Rowd carried Luca away, as Klaus took his position on the throne. Shinobi left Highland with Luca Blight, and Rowd remained taking up a position as a general under the new king.
The conflict came to a close as Klaus Windaimer's forces overwhelmed the remaining Royal Guard and a new era began in Highland under the rule of Klaus Windaimer/Blight.
Aftermath: Soon after Klaus takes the throne, he gets word of the Scarlet Moon Empire's latest attack on Castle North Wind. Klaus immediatley orders that Highland come to Dunan's aid, as the king himself had personal ties with the country. The Highland Army moves into Dunan to assist Castle North Wind.
7th Battle: North Castle Army vs Imperial Army (Generals: Teo McDohl, Tir McDohl, Viktor Belgest, and Lepant)
The Imperial Army attacked Castle North Wind with a massive number of troops. North Castle Army was completely overwhelemed at the onset of the battle, dispite Flik using his rune to give them an advantage by creating fog (which covered the entire battlefield) to blur the Imperial Army's vision. The two forces clashed in a great battle, Camus and Teo McDohl dueled fiercely in the center of the battle, while Flik and Tir battled on the east, Viktor and non other than Georg Prime battle on the west. Lepant covered the flanks with his unit, as the fierce battle raged on.
For what seemed like an eternity, the battle continued, the advantage was clearly on the side of the Imperial Army who seemed to be on the verge of victory. That however, never happened. Highland entered the conflict, under the rule of a new king, Klaus Windaimer/Blight had usurped the throne from the Luca Blight, and had arrived to help the forces of North Castle Army. With the reinforcements from Highland, North Castle Army completely overwhelmed the Imperial Army, forcing them to retreat to the city of South Window. Windy had failed once again.
Aftermath: During the battle, Tir became the bearer of the Rune of Life and Death, the "Soul Eater". Tir and Viktor had both been captured by North Castle Army during the battle. Flik knew that they both had been under the control of Black Runes, and destroyed both of the Black Runes on Tir and Viktor with his True Rune. Now freed from Windy's mind control, Tir and Viktor were releaed by Flik. The two left Castle North Wind. Flik knowing that the momentum was now his, decided that the time to liberate the city of South Window, was now.
8th Battle: North Castle Army and Highland's 4th Army vs. Imperial Army (Generals: Teo McDohl and Lepant)
With momentum swinging his way, Flik Remora orders the liberation of the city of South Window. North Castle Army, along with Highland's 4th Army attacks the city of South Window which is under the control of the Imperial Army who had sealed themselves in the City. Thanks to the ninja known as Kage the gates were opened and the battle for South Window had begun. Flik Remora battled his way to the town center with the help of several of his most trusted men and women and freed the imprisoned Mayor of South Window; Granmeyer.
Aftermath: The CNW forces easily squashed the Imperial soldier's that were in disarray. Lepant and Teo had retreated back to the Scarlet Moon Empire through Kalekka. After Lord Granmeyer was freed Flik and the rest of the CNW returned to the castle for another gathering to discuss the events that had occurred.
