So this will be my first attempt at creating an rp here. And I need help. I'm still developing the story, but as the gm, I have no idea how to navigate and control battle. And while I don't anticipate pvp, I do very much hope for a few battles. Any advice or suggestions, please pm me, again this is a wip so bear with me.

Waeldeshore ((A medieval-fantasy roleplay))

Silver Lilly Isle used to be quite a beautiful place. Named for the rare flower that blooms here, the isle is made mostly of marshland and lush forests. It was once home to powerful mages and wealthy lords, with a total population of about 4000. War claimed most of its soil, leaving the isle in ruins. Since then, use of the weave has been drastically limited.

Bordering the northern edge are the Grey Scale Mountains, it's peaks nearly reaching the clouds. The dangerous terrain isn’t the only thing to ward off travelers. The Grey Dragons lurk within its caves, attacking any who dare climb the spires. There are only two left after war scorched the island, but they remain as deadly as ever. The mountain tops platea to what is known as ‘Death’s Peak’, the cliff slamming against the shore line as a rigid line between land and sea.

As the mountain melts into the land, trees spread their roots and branches, expanding across most of the isle. A vast mix of forest and marshland keep the mountains dangers from those of the island.

Waeldeshore is a port town, sitting at the southeast end of the island, and one of the few places that did not crumble within the war’s wake. Responsible for nearly all of traded goods on the island, Waeldeshore actually became quite wealthy in the years following. Lord-Marshal Weyland oversees the town and all of it’s inhabitants. The town makes up most of the island’s population, especially now after the war. Marked by its cobblestone streets, cluster of buildings, and boisterous crowds, it separates itself from the rest of the isle as a much more industrious setting.

Basic plot-
Strange things have been happening in town. People suddenly disappearing, demons popping up, extreme weather changes, etc. Some occurrences have been subtle, noticeable only to a few, while others raised concern of even the Lord-Marshal and his council who suspect it all to be the work of a powerful mage named Jeltheor. The Lord Marshal has ordered extra guards on duty, extra patrols throughout the town, even a curfew was issued, encouraging all to stay indoors after sundown. But there are whispers of another war erupting. Rumors of an army gathering, with one intention - to set Waeldeshore aflame.

In the name of self preservation or as an act to save the town, your character will battle the demons set free by Jeltheor. Can you save Waeldeshore? Can you stay alive?

Your character can be a native of the island or a traveler to the town. Mages are absolutely allowed, but understand that creating a mage will have consequences as natives are very weary of the craft.

For once, I think I might make a Mage. I don't have anything against them, it's just I only really play Sorcerors when it comes to magic

I don't know how magic works in this world, maybe we could discuss, maybe I will have to create the lore with other Mages

Probably want to play one because I've been reading the Witcher books a lot (would be playing the games, if I have any platform more than a potato). It would be fun to play an expert everyone needs, but nobody wants

I don't know why I made such a long post

It's late

But I am joining this RP, if you need any help be sure to ask. Since I have a load of revision and coursework to do before the end of the academic year I will be in a creative mood (after all that monotonous coding), so feel free to throw something my way to work on!

I love the idea of having an all powerful mage on board, and would be ecstatic to have you aboard.

My idea of magic isn't anything super solid just yet, but I'd be happy to discuss it with you. Generally, it is an artform - Sorcerers are born with the innate ability of manipulating the elements around them. There are different schools of the weave - illusionary, conjuration, shape shifting may even be possible. Wizards would have the ability to wield such powers, but it would take much study and incantations. I know it's a bit all over the place, but I'm sure I can come up with something concrete if you wouldn't mind helping out :)

"I will speak to you plainly, as I have been spoken to afore, by others more knowledgeable than I about the Weave. The Weave, as I know it, is everything. You, I, the mountains, the forest, the rivers, and all that dwells within. Let it be said that even our thoughts and actions are too, part of this whole.

One cannot remove themselves from this function and one can not remove an arm or a leg. For in the same way, it propels and acts for us, while being truly a part of us.

Also, it must be said that the only thing that is truly outside of the weave is that which is dead, yet does not decay and fulfill its cycle within the whole."


something I took from a mage on a game I used to play :)

This makes me happy. Story wise, I'm almost done with everything enough to put it up. Though I'm hoping to get a couple more people interested before we get started. If anyone has any questions, post them here or pm me :)

Care to introduce yourself, ArenaSnow? And just what is a realmswalker? (I'll assume a walker of realms)

Hehe Arena is going to helping out with a few things, which I am very grateful for :) though who are any of us really? The spy? The hunter? The receptionist at the prestigious medspa and part time entrepreneur?

Now then! An intro...

I suppose there isn't much to say, I am simply ArenaSnow and juggling a variety of RP's, some more successful than others.

A "Realmswalker" is a reference to a race I invented for something off-site a couple years ago, part of a little worldbuilding project that was somewhat successful; yet I never put it into action, so it and most of the characters and the plot lay around to rot. Realmswalkers in particular I had designed to be able to travel across dimensions and realms, so they fit in settings much better than other species I came up with. Every so often I intend to change it (at this point, when I hit the 500 post mark).

So, they're Planeswalkers?

Original idea, do not steal.

Honestly, I built the concept off of something of my own, and I have no doubts that it is not a brand new concept considering how generic it sounds. I would have to write up a complete summary of the species and the setting for you to get how I conceived it.

I was mostly joking about how similar the names and concepts were.

I take things pretty seriously, so my bad.

Honestly, it just teaches me for taking a name without googling it and seeing what else is in the territory :P

I mean, it's a very popular established universe, I'm surprised you haven't heard of it already.

It's alright. I don't take things seriously at all, so we're probably not a very good match~

Honestly, I never got far into that universe and that whole line, so I am completely unfamiliar with references to it.

Hey Tatsua!! Happy to see a new face in the thread. And the most important thing is to never take -yourself- to seriously! :) hehe

I don't think 'the lewd maid' would ever take themselves seriously
