That is until 20 years ago, when the small kingdom of Tur was being threatened by her enemies the Five Kings of Main. The Queen of Tur ordered her people to find a way to save the kingdom or risk enslavement and death by the invading armies. The people looked for a way to save their small beloved kingdom, but being a small kingdom left them with few options. The people suggested trading their surprisingly vast resources, but the Five Kings of Main were greedy and the Queen wasn't going to risk the beauty of her land for the never ending hunger the Five Kings had for resources. They would demand much for not attacking and she knew that the price would only increase with each passing year, which would leave her people over worked and starving. The people then suggested that the Queen marry one of the Five Kings and make him an ally, but the Queen wasn't going to be bridled by a power hungry King who would most likely divide her lands among his brothers. No, war was the only option, but the Queens armies were small, though well trained, they wouldn't be able to stand against the might of all five armies of the Five Kings. The people of the kingdom of Tur nearly fell into dispair, when a young knight saught an old wise water dragon that lived in the center of the Dark Wood in the lake of Star Glass. No one knows what drove him out there as dragons had a habit of terrizing the people of Tur and of Main, but he was certain they would help. To the kingdoms great surprise the young knight returned on the back of Terra class dragon, he then asked the Queen to give him authority to go out among the people of the kingdom to find those worthy of being a Winged Defender of the Realm. She gave it and the the Winged Defenders were formed. The first battle was short as the Five Kings didn't expect to dragon riders, though there were many more battles with many losses on both sides. But in the end the Five Kings were beaten and fell back to their own kingdoms....... You are now a young hopeful for becoming a Winged Defender, you were either just picked up or have been in the training program for a year or two awaiting the time you get your dragon (or a dragon chooses you). You know this is big as not just anyone gets to be a dragon rider. You better hope you pass the Right of Dragons as there has been talk about dark forces looking for weaknesses in Tur's defences.[/center] ...... Hi everyone, -So this is a dragon rider rp with a plot that can be worked out some more with the right people. -To just remind a few people this takes place 20yrs after the first riders were formed, so they don't know everything about dragons or all the breeds. -The dragons can talk though through a mind link with their rider. -There is classes of dragons.... Terra class, Tidal Class, Air Class, Light Class, Tracker Class, Dark Class etc. -This will be a bit more mature rp with some mature themes, please be aware of this before joining. 18+!! -No elves or dwarves or anything like that. Humans and dragons. - Two human characters per person limit -Have any questions? ask and I will try to answer back as soon as possible :) [hider=Winged Defenders Keep] The Keep takes up an entire small island [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cf/ec/6a/cfec6aed685ed9b1a0f35b4b04fe39b6.jpg]Outside look[/url] [url=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d3/be/02/d3be022bbd70e647b6c1ee033f963bee.jpg]inside look[/url] (please imagine less structures and wider roads/walk ways and more greenery.
