[u][b]Chapter One:[/b][/u] [i]Long ago Alvaria used to be a very prosperous and lively town. That was until the Great Earthquake nearly one hundred years ago wiped out most of the town and those living there. It also destroyed the Spirit Tree, a large tree believed to be the home to forest spirits. Very few people survived and even fewer stayed in the town after it was destroyed. Those who did stay have done what they can to restore the town to its former glory but nothing has worked. The soil is poor and crops have difficulty growing, the fish in the lake and the ocean are rare and puny, the weather is erratic, changing from sunny to hurricanes in a moment's notice, and many of the town's oldest inhabitants are suffering from a strange illness. Many of the older inhabitants believe this is because the spirits are angry their home was destroyed when the Great Earthquake destroyed the Spirit Tree. Several months ago people started appearing out of nowhere, literally they showed up in town out of thin air. These new visitors came from all across the world and the only thing they have in common is that before they arrived in Alvaria they remember picking up a strange stone with a weird marking. None of these new visitors can recall who they were before coming to the town excluding their name, birthday, and any family that came with them. The rest of their past is a mystery.[/i] [u][b]Rules:[/b][/u] 1. Be active (and if you can't post for a few days please inform me) 2. Be respectful 3.
