It is filled with lush forests, rising cities, busy ports, unforgiving deserts and dangerous volcanoes. It is a place that many creatures roam and live, some don't look much different from you and I, however some could be described as "Mythical" and "Strange". Many have speculated on how and why so many different creatures are able to thrive within Azure however the answer is more simple than what you might think; [img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/190501/fdd22c1f552c9ae519c5789fab725ecf.png[/img]. Magic is the very core of Azure, it flows and gives life to the great Kokinna Dentro, the celestial tree that is home to the dragon gods. It is magic that causes the water to move, the winds to blow and the sun to shine. It fills the air and breathes life into every living creature. However not magic is not always good, for some magic is used as a means to further their own goals whether they are good or bad. For human's, who do not inherently posses the ability to use magic unless they are specially trained for it, they see magic and grow greedy. This is the entire cause for the Beastkin War, human's were greedy at the Beastkin's magic and wanted it for themselves - thus tearing down a peace that shouldn't have been disturbed. Men, women and children slaughtered in the name of "good" - innocents shot down in their prime all because human's couldn't simply live with what they were given. Two people who were once friends were now enemies thrown into a bitter war that seemingly had no end, even now after many generations the hate and bloodshed run as strong as they did back then. The conflict between the two wages so strongly that other races were pulled into the conflict, some taking the side of the human's and some the Beastkin. Those who chose not to get involved fled to where the war would not reach them, hiding their families from an unnecessary death. The Beastkin War has shaped and defined many cultures and races within Azure, no one can even remember the start of it anymore. Why were they fighting? Is it worth it to continue? Is there no way for these two races to be friends once more? How many more should have to die in the name of a greater cause? These are questions that don't have a clear answer yet however, even now as the sun begins to peak over the horizon, a feeling of hope still falls over the land. Hope that this war will not last for much longer, hope that no more will have to die, hope that once and for all Azure can be at peace. The fate of Azure will rest on it's current inhabitants and the choices they make, the stories they create and the relationships they discover. [hr] Welcome Everyone to Azure! This is simply a small intro post to giver you a feel for what's going on, though it's meant to be a bit vague. For now I would like everyone to simply be doing their own thing in their own part of Azure, doing what they do best. Though do keep in mind that some of these character can and will know each other. Everyone should know about the Beastkin war, it isn't something that is isolated within Ghaba Medina or Kina City, it is spread all through Azure. While individual characters have their own say on who they support or not these are the current standings for who supports who race wise: [color=a36209][u][b]Beastkin Supporters[/b][/u] [/color] Harpies Shadow Elves [color=a36209][u][b]Human Supporters[/b][/u] [/color] Naga Wood and Light Elves [color=a36209][u][b]Neutral[/b][/u] [/color] Angaria Fae Drakari Other Races (If you have made a race and wish to be in one of the above lists please let me know) This is a vary open world and there aren't a whole lot of limits, however if you are ever unsure of something please do not hesitate to come to me with any questions you have. Also if you have anyone plot twists or idea's that may be good people either PM them to me or DM in discord. If you have not joined our discord please [url=https://discord.gg/gjdHYa]do[/url]. Post wise I'm not expecting novels but I'm not limiting you either, however I do ask PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post at least a decent paragraph (I would love more) but I won't force you to write - Quality over quantity. Also please do not post continuously, what I mean by this is you HAVE to wait a few posts in between your own before posting again. I want this so that two people don't go off on their own and leave everyone else behind. If I see that it's becoming a problem I will assign a posting order, however I hate doing that and really don't want it to come to that. Also please let me know if things happen and you cannot post!
