Rune Magic
Runes are of ancient magic long lost to the world. Relics of rune magic still exist throughout the world, however, most of it is dormant. Rune magic was considered extraordinarily powerful. Many items were crafted utilizing Runes and with these items, the world was nearly destroyed. The power was so devastating even those who practiced it sought to make it forbidden and destroy all the items created with Rune Magic. The task proved to be impossible not even Rune Magic could destroy all of them. Remnants of Rune Magic still exists today. Time took its course and items crafted with Rune Magic either lost their powers or were simply lost.
Introduction
Recently Rune Magic has reemerged granting those who obtain them supernatural powers and abilities. Worst monsters of the world have obtained it. A goblin single-handedly took out one of the great city nations with it. Most believe the goblin simply found a relic of the ancient magic and somehow activated it. There are a few who believe the goblin actually learned the ancient art. Survivors mentioned the monster claimed it had a master who granted its supernatural powers.
The King of Solty Rei, a port city nation, called forth adventurers. He promised wealth to those who proved worthy of a quest to slay this goblin and others like it. Other cities merely believed it was a hoax of some kind since a goblin had no way of destroying a city nation and believed a dragon was most likely the culprit or a rival city that did not want recognition for the deed. The lost city nation was near Solty Rei so it was in their interest to take action.

Solty Rei is one of the most powerful city nations in the East.
The Eastern Countries are all city-states with a few outlying villages to the North of them and to the west were vast expanding empires.
The Western Empire is considered the most powerful and advanced country in the world. It boasts the best academies with a host of races within its borders. Slavery is used as its manpower a staple of its society. Those of not human descent are all slaves within the Empire, therefore, it is not visited often by those are not human. Although they do have some Dragons and Titans who live among them who they have not enslaved.
The Northern Kingdom is a young country and a mix of races that most others consider to be savage beasts. They are all called beastmen by outsiders. However, within the county, they have several races that they distinguish as completely different ones. The Wolf People, the Cat People, the Deer People, the Bear People, the Bird People, and the Snake People. There are sub races among them and recently some countries have discovered these beastmen as they called them are actually quite intelligent and cultured. The Northern Kingdom was made up several countries that were literally divided by the different races. They use to fight quite often among each other. The Western Empire started expansion into their Kingdoms. They realized they could only defeat the Western Empire band together and formed the Northern Kingdom. It has been practically a stalemate since. Still, the People as they all call themselves are not welcomed in other nations yet.
The Barren Lands was in between the Eastern countries and the West. The Barren Lands was land still scarred by the ancient war with Rune Magic. Nothing had grown there for 10,000 years. Only Titans, Dragons, and Gods lived that long so only they had memories of Rune Magic. The Barren Lands served as a buffer between the Eastern Nations and the empire in the west.
The Forbidden Forest was once the greatest nation in the East. It was a nation of elves and is believed to still be a nation of elves, but not even elves can visit the forest. When it was a nation of elves it was not known as the Forbidden Forest. Most elves then lived in the Forbidden Forest, but something happened and the great divide occurred. Outside of elves, no one knows what happened, but Great Elven cities were built outside of the forest, and the forest itself closed its borders and kills all who intrudes. It is unknown if there is still a thriving nation of elves who dwell within the Forbidden Forest. Even the elves who left it believe the magic of the elves who stayed to close its borders may have crafted magic that doomed all of them.
The Northern mountains are full of Gnome and Dwarven Kingdoms. They are known as the best craftsman in the world. The Gnomes for trinkets and wondrous items, the Dwarves for weapons and armor. The Northern coast lay beyond their homes which is of jagged rocks and treacherous seas. The Northern Kingdom is on the other side of these waters and so is separated solidly from the East.

Game Objective
Runes have come back. The goal will be to collect as many relics as you can and use them for yourselves. To begin with I'll limit relics to one per person until everyone has a rune. After which it'll be two and so on. Runes will grant a player a supernatural ability such as super strength, invisibility, or X-ray vision. Of course, the runes will come later, initially, the party will go on a quest to track down the whereabouts of the goblin.
This RP would either be a Multi-thread one or Epic
