When Apothos fell into ruin during the Eternal Eclipse, known civilization was swallowed whole by unimaginable horrors never seen before and fierce eldritch storms ruthlessly tore the planet apart. Before the scattered Cardinal Races would be annihilated, they created a massive vessel-city that would sail into the sky to avoid the destruction. It was risky to dare pass into the Ocean of Ashe, the violent tempestial mass that now overtook the skies, but it was the only chance they had. The ship was fitted with the strongest arcane barriers they could muster in a hurry, and the population departed only hours after for this desperate exodus. If only there was a happy tale to tell of this journey. The hull of the vessel-city was already breached in moments upon entering the swirling mass and countless of these pilgrims were pulled into the sundering maw of the sky-ocean as the ship was ripped piece by piece. By the time they were able to escape the swirling jaws, only fragments of the massive vessel remained intact, the battered core powering the arcane engines and a few connected stations. Anchoring high above the atmosphere, like a glimmering crown in the darkness, the survivors breathed a sigh now that their journey was over. For the moment, they were safe from the violence and malice of the dying planet below.

But the survivors were soon made to face a grim reality. They suffered too many losses to infrastructure to continue their plans of settling smoothly in this new home. What was left of the ruling authority made a difficult decision. To preserve the damaged power reserves, the inhabitants were all placed in a deep asleep to await the time when the apocalyptic storms settled. When the time comes, they must return to face their old sins, to reclaim their shattered world. 

Ages have long passed now and the first of these people have begun to awake, heeding their fateful call. But things are not what they expect. Will they be able to accept their new destiny?

After-Word

[hider]
Greets, and welcome to a short synopsis of this post-apocalyptic fantasy roleplay of mine. I am happy you have made it this far! Now, this is where I have to do a bit of explaining. I have been formulating this setting painstakingly over the months, pulling my hair out fine-tuning the plot and working with difficult themes in order to make an interesting story full of mystery and deep emotions. I finally think this work is worthy of allowing players and myself to enjoy a deeper roleplaying experience with notable progression and consequences to choices, such as offering a clear goal for the cast to achieve. As such, I'm afraid this is not entirely casual and I will only accept experienced people, or at the very least, those who show me they put in extra effort. A common misconception is post length determines whether someone is casual or advanced. In my opinion, it does not matter. They can range from a few sentences to large paragraphs, but I look most for quality of the post above all. How concise the ideas are and how well they paint the narrative. I'm not sure how many people I will accept, but I plan on having a small cast, perhaps only a handful of players. I have seen how cluttered and impersonal interaction can quickly get when too many people try to do different things at once. It makes people feel like they matter less when so many things happen at once without them. I want this to be an intimate and fulfilling story, so there will be a focus on a few flesh-out characters. 

As a side note; a few notable things I drew inspiration from in making this roleplay are Final Fantasy, Shadow of the Colossus, Ergo Proxy, and the Dark Souls series. If you enjoy any of those titles, then feel free to check this one out.

With all that being said, thanks for giving me your time! :^D[/hider]
