Background

 * Ahai Sunspears!

'''As Spearmarshal, I would like to personally thank you all for joining our ranks. However, we don't have time for that, so this formal notice will have to suffice. As you may know, Kourna's Warmarshal Varesh Ossa has been communing with dark forces. She and her demonic minions, the Margonites, are attempting to bring Elona under the control of Abaddon, the corrupt and outcast sixth god. To prevent this, we must strike Kourna before Varesh can complete her unholy rituals!'''

'''However, we are not ready for such an invasion. This may shock and alarm you, yet I have no choice but to reveal it. The Margonites have infiltrated our ranks! We do not know exactly when this began, but suffice it to say that the men and women you have lived with these past few weeks may not have been who- or indeed, what- you assumed. How many there are, I cannot say, but their numbers could be in the dozens- perhaps even including the Warmarshal's right-hand man, General Morgahn himself.'''

'''Sunspears! I leave this task to you! Route out Varesh's vile servants! Cast them out of this fair land! Remember that a Sunspear does not fight alone! Listen to your companions, but take care that you do not follow them without thinking. It is your duty to the people of this land, to your family and your friends, to expel this evil from Istan. If you cannot do this... if you fail in your mission... then Night shall come to Elona.'''

Roles
There are no dud roles in this game. Everyone will have special characteristics- these may be helpful or harmful, but no matter what, they will be interesting. Depending on participation, some roles may go to multiple people, and some may not be used at all.

Margonites

 * General Morgahn. Morgahn is considered the leader of the Margonites in this game. It is up to Morgahn to communicate the Margonites' wishes to the game host. However, in the event that Morgahn is lyched, he will realize the error of his ways and reveal all Margonites to the Sunspears, then die. (In this case, the Margonites will elect a new general and continue to vote and play, but it will probably be harder to convince the Sunspears not to lynch them.) This makes protection of the General all supportive Margonites' primary focus.
 * Tahlkora. Spoiled Vabbian princess. Driven mad by desire, Tahlkora has defected to the Margonites. Using her feminine charm, she may block one Sunspear's role every night. If she chooses to block Koss, she may not block any role for two nights. If she chooses to block Melonni, she dies instantly.
 * more roles to be added
 * Rual, Stealer of Hope. A powerful Margonite Mesmer, Rual may choose to reveal a player's identity to all players, both Sunspear and Margonite. He may use this ability during the day or night, but the identity will be revealed the next day if he chooses night. He may only use this ability once.
 * Saushali the Frustrating. A Margonite endowed with lightning-quick reflexes and a contrary nature, he may roleblock one Sunspear every other day. In other words, he cannot roleblock two days in a row, although he may choose not to roleblock at any time. In the event that Saushali is lynched, all players who voted to lynch him will automatically be roleblocked the following night.
 * Topo the Protector. A monk known for his strange behavior, Topo may resurrect any Margonite who is lynched, but he will commit suicide the following day if he does so. Furthermore, as long as Topo is in the game, lynched players' identities will not be revealed until the next day. Resurrected players will not have their roles revealed, and a resurrected General Morgahn does not have to reveal all Margonites' identities.
 * more roles to be added

Sunspears

 * Castellan Puuba. The Castellan is a highly respected individual, and the player who receives this role will be revealed as the Castellan immediately on the first day. The Castellan has a permanent double vote. This makes the Castellan a high priority target for the Margonites, and ought to be protected by other Sunspears- anonymously, of course.
 * Master Engineer Jakumba. The Master Engineer is a brilliant inventor and designer of siege weaponry. He will have several items, to be revealed only to him, that he may use at his own discretion.
 * Dunkoro. Dunkoro is a master strategist and mediocre monk. He is allowed to protect one player from a Margonite-induced death every night, but he cannot protect himself.
 * Koss and Melonni. Romantic interest. They share one resurrection which either may use on the other in the event of death. In the event that one is lynched, the other will die instead.
 * Rojis. An expert with traps and siege weaponry, Rojis may create a Sentry Trap to block all roles for that day and night, or that night and the following day.He may use it during the day or night, but can only use it once.
 * Sogolon the Protector. The founder of the Sunspears, Sogolon appears in ghost form to lend his aid to Elona once more. As a ghost, Sogolon cannot be killed at night. He may still be lynched.
 * Nerashi. The squad leader of the Sunspears. With three elites, it is only natural that Nerashi receives a triple vote, which may only be used once and will reveal her as a Sunspear.
 * more roles to be added

A note on roleblocking.
In this game, roleblocking is more powerful than simply preventing a player's action; it also strips that player of any inherent bonuses he or she may have for that period of time. For instance, if Tahlkora roleblocks Sogolon the Protector, he may be killed that night as if he was a normal Sunspear. In the event that a roleblocker targets another roleblocker or any player who has a method of blocking roles, the first one to submit their decision wins. For instance, if Rojis decides to set up a Sentry Trap at night and submits that decision to the game host, and ten minutes later Tahlkora e-mails that she would like to roleblock Rojis, Rojis's Trap will still be set off. Any one-time use abilities that are roleblocked will still be available for use once that period of time ends.

Furthermore, certain role-specific characteristics are not considered "abilities" and cannot be roleblocked. If General Morgahn is roleblocked, he may still submit the Margonites' decision for that night. If Rojis decides to set up a Sentry Trap on the very first day, Castellan Puuba's identity will still be revealed.
