Do you refuse to simply grow old and die? Do you seek a glorious death?
Do you want to delve through ancient ruins? Discover lost artifacts? Battle against demons? Discover the four lost tribes? Uncover the secrets to becoming a Lich? Stumble into the first Vampire nest? Make the greatest new discovery of your age?
Then have I got the thing for you.
Once ships have been constructed that can sail across the ocrean, once you have established your heir and made your preparations, before your character grows old and frail... Those brave enough should go seek out and find your glorious deaths.
Real talk: Once my character gets to around the age of ~45-50 I plan on having it suicide in the most glorious way possible. I'll have all of my affairs in order and then brave the oceans, explore the unknown continents, take big risks, and have a blast. Unless I die crossing the ocrean, then woe is me. But I'm gonna try and go out with a bang rather than just grow old and die a feeble death!
So if anyone else is mad enough to do the same... feel free to sign right up and join me. It doesn't matter if you're a lowly peasant, gentry, nobility, or even a King. We're all equals over in the unknown.
