Welcome to Show the Colours!
It is the spring of 1809. This is a world at war. Armies are on the move to fight battles that will decide the fate of nations. From battles at sea to skirmishes on land to the secret fact-finding missions of spies of both sides, there is danger at every turn. There is friendship and camaraderie, too. But the clouds are gathering.

Where do your loyalties lie?

    http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c139/Sharpiefan/RPG%20pics/StC%20Icons/Letters-3.pngIt is late spring 1809. The British are in Northern Portugal, marching in pursuit of the French after the Battle of Oporto. The calendar threads and personal timelines of various characters can be found in here, and this is also where the various plotting threads are posted.

This is the players' general discussion area, where we can talk about all sorts of things from inspiration for characters to what craft projects we're currently doing.
