      Eleutheria - Historical Greece RPG Rating

    𝔼𝕃𝔼𝕌𝕋ℍ𝔼ℝ𝕀𝔸

     

    It is the much anticipated matrimony of the season, the unification of House Sideros and House Anestis. The wedding of Lady Aspasia of Anestis to Crown Prince Cleon of Sideros is underway, further joining Ionia and Peloponnesus as allies. With little choice in the matter Aleuas of Anestis is rather forced by his king to secure a marriage to the Spartans. It is hardly a jubilant affair for the widower, though little can be done by the Ionians but to endure Spartan customs. By a stroke of mercy from the gods, the Spartans have agreed to a compromise of matrimonial customs, a three-day affair playing out as a result.

     

    Political tensions ebb and flow in Hellas, where three kingdoms maintain  precarious relationships. If intrigue, scandal and strategy seem enticing, come check us out. Diverse cast of canons, including royals available. From hetaerae at the Temple of Aphrodite to the Oracle at Delphi, we've got something for you!

     

     

    Who are we?

     

    Eleutheria is a realistic Historical forum set in Classical Greece in the year 402 BC following the end of the Peloponnesian War. The fighting may be over, but the conflict is far from concluded. Political intrigue and brooding atmospheres of turmoil and discord cloud relations between the triumphant Spartan kings, even amongst themselves, and relations with their newly installed monarchy in Attica. Tensions are heating quickly as one Spartan king has unilaterally sent part of his army to his colleague's doorstep in Athens to address rumors of rebellion, in a city already burdened with poverty and plague. As the only active Historical Greek site on Jcink, we've done our best to create lore that is understandable, relevant, and accurate for the time.   We are an engaged group of writers who love to plot and create stories while ensuring all members feel welcome, included, and valued for their ideas and content. 

     

    Our goal on Eleutheria is to ensure creators feel like they're stepping back in time when they enter our world.   As a complement to the field of Historical sites, we welcome the exploration of events and character growth through historically inspired myths and stories.   Classical Greece was rife with love, lust, warfare, political upheaval, turmoil, and debauchery.   As a 3/3/3 rated site, we encourage our writers to explore all aspects of ancient Greek society, including those that are taboo and often hidden in the back pages of our history books.   

     

    We are always accepting new plots and ideas.   Our global plots are fluid and can change the course of history at any moment.   No story is preconceived, and our members have the capability of shaping the world around them through their own actions.   Below is a list of the Kingdoms currently in play on Eleutheria.   Our site began its story just after the end of the Peloponnesian war when, after the loss of their naval fleet a year before, a beleaguered Attica has surrendered to Sparta and Peloponnesus.   Now with a transition of power imminent, insurgents are anxious for conflict and a desire to take control.

    Other Notes: While historical settings can be daunting, we have done our best to break down the world into a format that is easy to learn so members can jump into play. We're always eager for new friends to join us with exciting ideas, and our community is convinced anyone and everyone can write within a historical theme. Just like modern cultures, the Greeks were a complex people with deep-seated beliefs and a love for family, friends, and their faith. Eleutheria is an intermediate to advanced site, but our emphasis is on the ability for members to carry and move a plot forward, rather than word count.

     

    Some Unique Features to our Community

    Ease of Use - Easily navigable setup free of clutter and extemporaneous sub-forums.
    User CP Applications - All apps are housed in the main User CP and are shown on the main profile. There is no need to fill out complicated dohtml apps with coding.
    Mythological Beings - While our world is grounded and lead by the mortal realm, Ancient Greece would be nothing without the influence of the Gods they worshipped.
    Immersive Lore - We've done the research for you! All you need to know about Classical Greece and the people who lived then is housed on the site.  
    Historical Fiction + Alternate Timeline - Our site is based in Classical Greece and our lore is pulled from the pages of history, making it easy for writers to research offsite. However, the characters in our world are fictional and influence Greece in their own right from 402 BC onward.

    UPDATED May 2021: Started out great, but big map made it hard for plotting to keep going. Lots of staff turnover. 

     

    Wonderful Game!  This is a beautiful site with well thought out set of canons. But, you can also play an original too!  This all combined with a great community of super helpful staff and members. They were so welcoming. I could get to playing right after acceptance!

    There are very few Greek sites to choose from on forum platforms; it’s a hard niche to find something that promises to last a while, be active, and also have a good community with fair game runners. The community is really passionate about the era and its setting, more than willing to help people like me, and is not going to fade in the background. The creators have put a lot of time into the project from the beginning, with the help of their base to create an environment that treats a member as more than just a number.

     

    It has a fairly active OOC community based in Discord, many wanteds to choose from, and even more characters. Once accepted, characters are announced with the admin’s personal summary/synopsis which is a nice touch. Writers themselves tend to get into their scenes, the average being 400+ words. They’re passionate people and it shows through their enthusiasm.

     

    I’m not particularly well versed in this timeframe but Eleu makes it easy to digest unfamiliar information with streamlined resources and provides visual references. The site itself is not visually overwhelming, and after personally seeing the coder customize premade skins from the beginning to present, it will get even better in the future. I encourage people to check it out!

    This site is my home.  I love everything about it and even helped out a bit in its creation.  The dedication of the staff in just the site alone should tell you how much they care about this amazing place.  With a light and dark skin, everyone can enjoy the site how they want.  The lore is so deep and rich and no matter your question, they are there to help or help you find it.  Being historical Greece, it's sort of hard to know everything, but they went out of their way to make it so you at least have a good grip on everything.

     

    The ability to make either one of their amazing canon's or your own awesome original character, sets you up perfectly for getting something you want.  Oh, and don't forget about the people always online in the discord that will help you figure out what you want and hash out details with you.  It's always been helpful for me.

     

    Last but not least, the members.  Everyone who has joined this site has been amazing and made me feel right at home.  I don't see myself feeling like anywhere else or at least haven't yet.  We are one big happy family and always looking for new ones to grab in our massive group hugs.  It's an insane bunch of people but they all mesh together so well and make the site such an inviting place.

     

    There really isn't a bad site to Eleu, accept maybe that you can only start with two characters and from there need a certain amount of posts.  So all you character hoarder (like me) be prepared.  Just means you can really develop the ones you start with.

     

    Well I hope this helps anyone who is interested.  Hope to plot with you soon!

    First off, I've created and run and lived and breathed ancient Greece for many years. Both the myth and ancient history sides are quasi-passions of mine, but without time to admin my own sites, it's been impossible to find good ancient Greece ones. This is the only one I've been happy with enough to join, and I'm thrilled that I did.

     

    The site itself is unparalleled in how well it's put together. The amount of detail the staff here has gone through to create and run this is stunning. Information, lore, rules, canon lists - not to mention the Discord, challenges to inspire people, and even the social media and advertising is like a well-oiled machine. It's not wonder to me that this site is absolutely skyrocketing off the ground.

     

    Not only is the site absolutely beautiful, but the people are lovely. There's a very good mix of people with a lot of historical knowledge and those without. There are people from every corner of the world, too, which is neat to interact with! Someone is always in chat, and the staff is very involved and consistently making sure everyone is welcome and in the fold - like personalized character acceptance notifications (which every site should adopt because it's one of the best methods I've seen used).

     

    The only drawback I can see is based on personal preference, and easily acceptable in the face of everything else. If you're someone like me who likes getting apps out of the way and thrives off a variety of plots and personalities to start with, just know that you will only be able to start with 2 characters, and from there, both of those require 20 IC posts before another can be applied for. For some of us that's a hefty undertaking, but again - worth it.

     

    Anyways. I'm long-winded, but there is so much to say here. In the end, I'm so happy to have found this site.

    Amazing game❤️


    The ability to world build in a historical setting while keeping it fun and easy for anyone to jump in puts them head and shoulders above others in the genre.
