Mnemasi demands blood...         ... and her needs are met every month by the inhabitants of Lassaru. The devout holies of the cult of Mnemasi are entered into the sacrificial lottery, willingly offering themselves to the deity with hopes she may be pleased enough to reward them with life after death. The blessed transcend mortality, and even fewer receive gifts from the goddess in the form of abilities or traits. The government sanctions this bloodshed with the belief that survival depends on Mnemasi's quenched thirst. The peoples of Lassaru are enduring the 9 month winter and begin to question Mnemasi's desire for their survival. Opinions vary: some believe she wants more, others believe that she and any other god does not exist, still more have deified gifted holies. Despite the best efforts of government, Lassaru begins to crumble... About Et Circenses         Et Circenses is a play-by-post role-playing game with a limited amount of fantasy. Characters are limited, for now, to mostly realistic horses, wolves, and humans. To begin with, the species have a common form of communication and coexist peacefully; this may change with game play. While the people at EC are expected to be kind and respectful, the game itself is not nice. Characters are not beyond death, dismemberment, and dissatisfaction. Not everyone gets out of a fight unscathed, not everyone can live forever. Varied levels of experience and activity are welcomed. Maturity is a must.
