Set-up:

Their world is encased in ice.

It is cold and it is harsh but it is not an impossibility.

All these inhabitants have ever known is the cold dark nights and bleak dim days. These people have learned to endure and in turn have warded off extinction for a very long time. They have embraced the challenges and the wisdom of their ancestors has been properly passed down. Crops are grown to live in the snow, rain, and hail. Clothes are expertly styled to ensure one is always warm and free of dampness. Animals have also learned to survive in the eternal winter and hunters have in turn learned their habits and when to best set traps. Despite living in an endless frigid wasteland, cities and clans of people have been living on the icy earth for hundreds of years.

Even though the world has only ever known snow and sleet, it is a world filled with magical people who are able to bring true inner-warmth to those around them. There are scholars, teachers, poets, dancers, assassins, cooks, knights, princes, dragons and other beastly creatures that thrive in such conditions. So while there is heart within everyone, there is a strong desire to fight and to survive. And while war has torn through would infrequently, there has been established peace for the past thirty years. The people of the world feel safe and content, having nothing to fear.

Until now.

There is a prophecy that was recorded thousands of years ago through the dream of two twins. They were renown for their clairvoyance and foresee a future of fire raining upon their home. The dream was recorded but lost in the snowstorm of time. No it seems that fate may be drawing closer to the icy world. Like a bursting shooting star, streaks of hellfire tumble across the dark sky, as hunks of burning rock collide into the earth. Avalanches are triggered, floods are unstoppable as the world of ice is forever changed. People cry into the night as they watch friends burn alive, standing too close to the burning meteors. There is mass confusion and fear as fires break out across the globe, sending panic throughout the various kingdoms.

Wild animals scatter and families are broken up as everyone flees, trying to hide, their survival instincts long forgotten. In a small city by a frozen river, hordes of people abandon their homes as a fire has begun to melt ice-made buildings. Flowers and trees are up in flames and no one seems capable of stopping the wildfire's blaze. As the smoke began to fill the lungs of many bewildered spectators, many could be heard crying in both agony and despair. What was once a place to call home, was now ash and all that remained were snowdrop cinders.

Guidelines:

~ So generally speaking this is basically an ice-world thrown into chaos by the sudden (depending who you ask) onslaught of fiery rock. Because I didn't want to label this post-apoc, I want us to have fun in this world before it's torn apart. I want us to get attached and develop things along with our characters before the world ends. I think that would a lot more interesting than just starting with the aftermath.

- I don't know how many characters this RP will have. It can be a large group or an intimate one. I think it'll depend on those who submit sheets. I'd love for this to be a sprawling epic fantasy but it can be more low-key too.

~ Posts should be around 4 paragraphs I'm thinking, I don't mind if someone is casual or advanced, I just want folks who put in the effort and give good details and progress the story and interact with each other. Sometimes that calls for shorter posts, sometimes longer ones are needed. So I am gonna post this in both sections, I hope that's not against the rules or anything.

- If you are interested, please note I am pretty open about what role you want to play as, as long as it's a role that can function in a group. Our characters are going to form a group to research and try to prevent this tragedy so working well with others is imperative.

~ Lastly, if you are interested, let me know if you want me to expand on information or if you'd want it remain vague and something we as a whole develop when writing. Stuff like animals, dietary habits, locations, etc. Anyway I don't have much else to say except thanks for reading!
