Liquid Swords is an open-ended Martial Arts Fantasy forum which borrows from Pre-existing warrior traditions and cultures, and combines them into one seamless fantasy universe. You'll find most anything here, and can do almost anything you want in terms of plot and character development. What you won't find here are Kings, Queens, Governments, Religions, Superstitions and the Supernatural. This forum takes place on an Alternate Earth where such places as an America, Europe, or namely, Japan have never existed, even though some of their customs and heritage might be invoked from time to time.
Enter an ever-expanding world that grows with each members input and ideas, as you add animals, technology, themes, and more. After you've made your character, remember to take time to read the Almanac, visit the Welcome Wagon, and Planning Room, so that other members can meet and greet you, as well as ensure you have an optimal Roleplaying Experience. Admin approval to begin playing is not necessary here, but we might consult you if needed.
Please be sure to completely fill out your Application, as well as update/edit it as your character lives and ventures out. After admission, you are Free to Pursue your Destiny, and travel down the road of Honor or Villiany! Enjoy your stay with Us!

Shinta Almost a Master. Almost worthy to inherit her Uncle's line of legendary dojo's. But, almost doesn't cut it. Tyuski trains, night and day, and yet is still unable to ascend any higher in her sword style. Fearing himself bereft of a fitting heir, her Uncle orders her to travel abroad, challenging whomever she meets. Forbidding her to return until she had become a master....

Endless Wastes Unforgiving Dunes- The Inhabited Circle counts for merely one-fifth of the planet’s surface. The yawning wastes of the Nitemare Expanse accounts for approximately three-fifths. A nearly inescapable desert, merciless and unforgiving, sweltering in the heat of twin suns, and populated by vicious, lethal creatures. The not typically traveled, passage through the Nitemare does occur, usually merchant caravans, or the infrequent lone warrior, though both have more to watch out for besides heat-strokes and dehydration, such as the savage mutates of the Horde.

Mujin's Grove Endless Winds - Representing the upper most northern section of the Inhabited Circle, Mujin’s Grove most notable feature is, assuredly, the constant winds that push their way around and though the acres of Bamboo trees. Never too fierce, never too gentle, and always present, the residents of the Grove have put this natural phenomena to good use, erecting massive windmills to capture the endless power of the Winds. Mujin’s Grove is the first stop on the Sandway Transport. Forum Led by: Admin

Sunflower Road False Paradise - Though littered with miles of blossoms of Sunflowers, Daisies, Tulips, Roses and more, it’s beauty and splendor belies the ugly truth which has engulfed this World. Those who reside within the villages of the Sunflower Road are, perhaps, the most (or only) light-hearted individuals present today, and how could They not be, when the very ground they walk upon is a soft, delicate flower bed. The Sunflower Road is directly south of Mujin’s Grove. Forum Led by: Admin
Mouth That Cannot Be Quenched Dank Abyss - East of the plush terrain of the Sunflower Road lies the wetlands of the Mouth. Owing it’s current state to the years of methane-laden backwash of the Maw, and the lack of a functioning water table. These forces have conspired with one another to create a massive bog which can measure at least eight feet deep in some areas. Noxious geysers, methane bubbles, and ammonia pools round out this habitats features. Forum Led by: Admin

Magma Lands Fire Pits - The southern most terrain of the Western Front, the Magma pits were created from the aftershocks of several severe ground quakes which ripped open the ground, allowing thousands of gallons of molten rock and sulphur to spew forth, carving out a jigsaw of channels and pits. Those who reside here grew accustomed to the heat and quakes, and rivers of lava. The geothermal winds are directly responsible for the luster of the Sunflower Road, and the incessant winds of Mujin’s Grove. Forum Led by: Admin
Leviathan Harbor Port Town - Amounting to the one true ‘Metropolis’ of the Inhabited Circle, Leviathan Harbor is always bustling, always busy and always thriving. More of a shopping bazaar, than a residential district, its markets boast strings of shops, booths, stores, bordellos and dojos where, for the right price, anything within can be bought or sold. The beaches of Leviathan Harbor are no less methane-packed than the Maw itself, and should be treated with careful consideration. Still, it’s not a bad place to go Shopping! Forum Led by: Admin
Damne Swamps Methane Marshes - The final touch of the Maw’s methane-sulphuric depths, backwash from a leaky water table, draining off into what was once a lush forest spawned the ammonia-methane bog known as the Dhamne. Unable to totally absorb the deluge, the forest was slowly corrupted into this twisted shadow of its former self. Located just east of Leviathan Harbor, the Dhamne is as deadly to tread through as are its occupants to duel. Quicksand, sinkholes, and toxic fumes make it a force to be reckoned with.

The Chill Frozen Tundra - Biting winds, sub-zero temperatures, savage beasts; the Chill is the northern most point of the Eastern Front, situated slightly north-east of the Dhamne. The Chill owes its arctic atmosphere not from the ecological decay of the planet, but rather, from above; a considerably massive chunk of lunar debris, presently maintaining a synchronous orbit with the planet, effectively blocking out most of the sun’s rays. Yet, those who live in this frigid region bare the cold proudly, neither condemning nor protesting it. Forum Led by: Admin
