The only question in his mind: How many will it matter to make the king realise his killing innocent people.

Not a bad premise, but needs work. You could play the king in a much worse light, if you so desire. There was a plot against him, and an elf was involved. The king's adviser, who has a deep hatred of all lesser races which he includes Elves in, drives the king to purge all Elves from his kingdom.
You can see where I'm coming from with this, right? It's happened throughout history, a leader is attacked by a certain ethnic group and he tries to purge them.

Variations, you could have the king have a mad hatred of elves and the adviser is actually trying to stop him before he goes too far (he's an ally of the hero in other words). I'd also suggest developing things on the Elf side.

Anyhow, it's not a bad principle. I'd love to see how it plays out.
 
Hey there.
Like Sol_Fury has pointed out the idea, although nothing really new can become a good story. Like so many people forget it's not the overall idea that can become bad and cliche. It's the way it's told. Take a story as common as a man with no memory attempting to save the world as an example. Just because we've all heard this before would not stop a great storyteller from making it interesting and really good to play. So. Take your idea and run with it. I'm interested in seeing how this turns out in 2-3 months time.
 
It's sounding good. The Extend Tech sounds like a good tradeoff that might be useful tactically. Things like that are always interesting to see.
As for the story, it's still early days but it sounds like it definately will have some sort of neat political angle on it. Racism on the part of the king, a "them and us" attitude to the Elves... could be very interesting to see the situations that leads to.
