In a realm beyond sight
the sky bleeds red over blue.
There, the Goddesses' delight
faces peril dire and true.

Humans flocked to her fledgling state and the first races, such as the Gorons, aided her greatly for the sacrifice of her divinity and what started as a single large city expanded outward. By the time of her death over a century later, Hyrule stretched for a dozens of miles on either side of Lake Hylia and every human deferred to her.
Since then her bloodline has fairly, if sometime eccentrically, ruled Hyrule. At its height it directly held all the plains between the Burning Sands and the Great Forest. The Forest races save for Deku Scrubs, the Death & Fire Mountain Goron, the Sheikah in Kakariko province, and River Zora could be counted as loyal allies or vassal states. Hardy Hylians even trekked to the Snowpeak mountains in the far northwest or sailed to new shores on the western coast of Sapphire Sea to settle new lands.
The Hyrule of today is far from that peak. Two and half decades of war with Ganondorf, the Gerudo, and his endless minions has fractured all of Hyrule's allies save the Forest and broken off both Kakariko and Ordona provinces from the kingdom entirely. But Zelda VI has just been coronated after a peaceful, restorative eight year regency and aims to reunite all of the lands her father gave gave everything to defend.It will be an arduous task: The Cycle of the Triforce still runs with no Hero of Courage in sight, the Bearer of Wisdom having had her piece used to dubious ends, and the Wielder of Power unaccounted for. Three of Ganondorf's generals still live and his vast forces have simply scattered, leaving danger lurking in every corner of the world. The Gorons will not return to the fold without aid against the flying menace of the Helmaroc King and plans for full payment of the vast debts Hyrule owes them. The River Zora residing in Zora's Domain were crushed by Ganondorf during the war and number maybe ten thousand now in a greatly damaged homeland. The Forest stands with Hyrule, but Arch-Wizzrobes leading undead hordes infest it and it requires dire amounts of aid to relieve a exhausted Great Deku Tree.
Zelda marches to aid the Forest, but Hyrule cannot be everywhere at once. Some able few will have to stand and aid the realm...
This is a transformation of my Zelda quest, as I was having too much fun building the setting supporting the quest to leave it alone.
I'm looking for one or two players to join three others I've already recruited. This will be play by post, likely with batch rolling and party plans to speed along combat. If we can all set a time slot up, we'll do sessions also. Not first come, first serve.
As the title stats, we're going to be using the 5e ruleset, but with custom races. If someone wishes to be a Zora or Ruto, I'll stat them out. The basic player rules are free. The game will start in Zelda's coronation festival in Castleton, right before Zelda departs for the Forest. Any other questions, just ask.
You can use the standard spread or roll 3 4d6 and drop lowest & 3 3d6 capped at one 16(then 15s).
A detailed mapping of Hyrule is available. Grey for cities, purple for towns, red for Forts, light brown is hills. A big map.
An interactable PDF character sheet.
(Current PCs are a Hylian Fighter of a now reduced noble house, a Kokiri Warlock that is working on their sheet, and a bumbling Kokiri rogue with a most inappropriate fairy.)
