[QUOTE="Turgenev, post: 8587793, member: 6733"] So the Adventure Booklet has this to say about the village of Zilver. I liked the medieval theme for the village but decided to switch out the robots for androids and went with a Robin Hood theme instead. I'm taking my Robin Hood inspiration from the 1939 Adventures of Robin Hood, the Robin of Sherwood TV series, and even bits from Disney's Robin Hood animated film. Here's what I came up with instead... [B]ZILVER Population:[/B] 3,400 [B]Tech Level:[/B] II [B]Alignment:[/B] Followers of the Voice Behind its walls of stone, Zilver consists of many timber houses clustering around a small stone castle on a low hill. This is the home of the High Sheriff and he sees to the safety of his village. The whole place has a brightly coloured Robin Hood medieval theme to it. That's because in the Shadow Years, this village had a popular android Robin Hood entertainment park with an 'authentic' Hollywood cast (the androids' appearances are copies of the cast from the 1939 Adventures of Robin Hood film). The androids have been playing their roles for so long that they now believe that they are the real characters from the Robin Hood legends. The High Sheriff and his allies (Sir Guy of Gisbourne and Hugo the Abbott) play out their roles while terrorizing the inhabitants that live there since the Social Wars. The village consists of 80% pure strain human and 20% humanoid. Humanoids are second class citizens and mutant animals are consider to be nothing but mindless animals. The village is protected by the High Sheriff, who is advised by Guy of Gisbourne, and he has twenty-four android men-at-arms. The High Sheriff always selects a local pure strain human maiden to play the role of Maid Marion (until she expires from age, foul play, or terror). The High Sheriff, Sir Guy, and his men-at-arms are always trying to capture Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Robin Hood is also an android who has remained sane over the countless years and still fights for the cause of justice and liberty. His Merry Men have been recruited from the locals over the years. In essence, both the High Sheriff and Robin Hood "recast" their supporting roles when needed. [B]The Church of the Lionheart:[/B] The official religion in the village of Zilver is known as the Church of the Lionheart. Their symbol is a lion's face surrounded by a lion's mane shaped like sun rays. The citizens of Zilver worship Lord Lionheart who they believe is their village's personal creator and he was betrayed by his evil brother, Ryncejon, who now holds him prisoner in the Spectral Lands of the Dead. To free him, the Church of the Lionheart has been tasked with a duty to raise the sacred ransom needed for his release. It is said on that fateful day, King Lionheart will return, restore Zilver to her rightful glory, and cast Ryncejon into the pits of Hell. The actual dollar amount that the sacred ransom isn't generally known, as that number is considered sacred and for priestly eyes only (and even then, only to the upper echelon of priests).
