The Chronicles of Irenaea



The Pitch


You are an ancient chronicler recording the history of the land called Irenaea. No document is perfect truth, and all contain the unwitting (or witting) biases of the author. Be it through poem, prose, academic works, myth, or some combination, you are charged with the preservation of the past. A simulation is maintained to provide grounds for your works, but it can only give part of the story. The roleplay is an exercise in worldbuilding, historiography, persuasive storytelling, and the passing of time.

Currently we are looking for more members to fill out the ranks. We are in full swing, but the fortunate aspect of this type of roleplay is that we can handle many more (and that means you!). Ultimately, the more people we have posting and participating in the community, the harder it will be for the roleplay to die.

The beauty of the system is that it enables players to post at-will with no necessary commitment. You may indeed post once and become bored (however much I hope you don't), post three times, take a hiatus, and return, or any combination of activity and inactivity. As well, godmodding is a non-issue: No player directly controls anything but the voice of the historian documenting the events of the past. Historians will reasonably (and often) disagree about key events, personality traits, or really, everything. If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look below and skim through the OP and the simulation guide. If you have any questions, the best way to get them answered quickly is the discord (in my signature and here). If you'd rather not, the OOC thread also works quite well. I try to read updates on both as frequently as possible.

This is an interesting idea, but I worry that the restrictive style guidelines may be scaring away potential players. Have you considered reframing the roleplay with each player as a different translator creating an edited volume? That could allow for relaxed guidelines without compromising the idea behind the roleplay.

Either way, I'd be interested if this gets off the ground.

Oh whoops. I saw the lack of posts here and assumed the worst. I'll take a look at the IC then.

Ah! Most wonderful, thank you for your interest.

Indeed, the lack of posts can be confusing lol. I should have added in the player list :-)
