NOTE: Heya. I originally posted this IC in the advanced section of the forums. However, I wanted to post it here to extend invitations to those that may not check the advanced section that much. Given this is more of a high casual type of rp anyway :) We’re all here to have fun after all!



Are you awake? Can you hear me? Please listen well.

The flow of time has led to this. A battle between the force of light and the force of darkness. A Hero’s Tale that will be told to young children to fill their hearts with joy and inspiration for ages to come. A tale of bravery and hardships and how to overcome any obstacle thrown your way. This tale would turn out to be quite similar to the old legend…

Darkness is coming. A new threat to Ruyunae is ready to strike. Will we be ready? Who will be there to rise to the call? Are there even any Heroes left in this peaceful land? We have not had such an immense threat since the age of old so surely not.

This is your story. How you choose to write it and how it will unfold is up to you. I am merely an orator, prepared to weave your life’s story into the fabric of ages. Every story needs a beginning. Forgive my laughter, but I would hope you would agree. You cannot skip to end for if you do you miss the best part. Besides, who doesn’t love a good hero’s tale anyway?

You have been chosen by the Mother-Goddess. The land you call home is in danger and you must rise to action. You will not be alone though. Just as the Seraph of old had his band of allies, you will have yours. Close companies whom you would not trade the world for. This is where the power of stories comes into play. When you meet your friends how will the friendships grow? How will things progress when you yourselves find the new Seraph?

Ah yes, the Seraph. A mortal child blessed with the power of the Mother-Goddess. Powerless on their own but with invaluable allies the Seraph shines. It is said the Seraph can awaken sleeping powers inside those who call him a companion. It is by this rite that the Seraph of old was able to save the land of Ruyunae. Or had you forgotten that detail? No matter, I do so love telling stories.






Future Heroes,
It has been ages since the day spoken of in the Legend of the Seraph. The ruins of Aucrun are not off limits but the land is known as the Land Betrayed and most steer clear of the place. This makes it the perfect place for the villain of your story to reside. There it waits, gathering its strength. Its power born out of hatred towards the Mother-Goddess and pure malice and darkness. This evil has amassed a large following and they are sustained by its dark magic. The nearest Festival of the Lights is fast approaching and this dark organization is planning to strike. They plan to strike on the holiest of days when all of Ruyunae meets in the great Holy Kingdom of Khrousahvell. You must be ready. Your beloved world is about to change drastically and I want you to be as prepared as you can. I apologize for not having enough time but the Mother-Goddess has chosen you for a reason. You must be the light to shine in the darkness. The hope in the people’s eyes. You must find the Seraph and awaken to your true potential. The Mother-Goddess will reveal more to you when you meet on the day of the Festival of Lights. Please, you must prepare yourself. I am sorry it has to be you… for you may not wish to get involved. You may voice your frustration in due time but being chosen by the Mother-Goddess cannot be a bad thing, no? Now go! Wake up and make haste. The Festival of the Lights is set to begin. You must find the new Seraph. He needs you.


The Land of Ruyunae


A short Summary

The Land of Ruyunae is a large land mass almost split in the middle thanks to the destruction caused by the demon of old in Aucrun, the Land Betrayed. The continent is still whole, but the center is a large zone deemed unholy so the people do not venture there. Ruyunae has four major kingdoms that influence the land:
1.) The Last Strand of the Sands: Sweym Sma (Sweeyum- Suma)



2.) The Empire of Snow: Linmark (Lyn-Mahrk)


3.) The Holy Kingdom: Khrousahvell (Curoo-Saahh-Vvhell)


4.) The Province Adrift: Elthari (L-Thaaree)



Greetings! Thank you for getting this far if you did. So this is a little idea I had tossing around in my brain and thought I would finally throw it out to the wolves and see if I could get any takes. I promise I seasoned so it should be tasty! I actually did want this to be inspired by simple legends of: Ancient evil rises up, band of heroes get together and go fight said evil. I see nothing wrong with such a tried and true method of storytelling and I feel like it could be incredibly fun to play with others.
And before you go in further, Yes this is somewhat inspired by Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy and most heavily Lord of the Rings. I just feel like they all have incredible elements of story telling and fantasy environments so I wanted to string out the idea I had in my brain and whaddaya know, I typed all this.

Little bit about what I was expecting from the RP. So, as you may have guessed I would be playing the role of the Seraph. “Hey!” You say as you ready your pitchfork and torch and tie me to a stake ready to burn me. “That’s not fair! He’s the hero isn’t he?! Everyone only loves the Hero!”

To which I will wiggle my hands out from the ropes binding me and plead for my life. “Wait wait! Sure yes I would be the Seraph but he is hardly the tried and true Hero of this tale. I want every single player I play with to truly feel like a Hero. That is why I gave the Seraph next to no powers UNLESS he meets close friends and helps them awaken to their true potential. This gives the party more dynamic and the thing I love the most: character development!”

I’ll wait for the fires to roast me or let you back away and ponder what I said. Either way I’m going to keep typing words! So yes, the Seraph is not the only hero. He’s powerless alone so I wanted everyone else I am with to feel important. To feel like what they have their character do matter.

I am a HUGE sucker for character development. Oh? Your character has a tragic backstory they don’t want to share but it eventually comes out? That’s great, Seraph needs to help his friends! Not too keen on the Seraph when you first meet him? Punch him in the face! Let your anger be known. Friendships grow and bloom into something so I wanted to have some fun along the way. The villains in the campaign would range from deadly serious, to dark and dastardly masters of magic, to wacky characters I hope you enjoy beating up.

In this fantasy RP I would love to include the holy trinity of fantasy races. The Elves, Humans and the Dwarves. However, if you are interested in this and want to play something a bit on the wild side I am more than happy with that! I do not want to put limitations on this as I want some help world building as well.
I posted this in the Advanced section mainly due to how much character development I would like to have happen as well as the amount of world building. I am not asking us to create a new Tolkein book here, just enough to go in with the mentality of "our actions have consequences and we can shape the world".
I am not strict about post length either. A few paragraphs should suffice. Quality over quantity they always say :)
Use of magic is not only welcome but encouraged. I’d be using it, so… (:

So please, voice your concerns, your opinions and hopefully your enthusiasm to join. If I have piqued your interest at all please let me know by either replying here or sending me a PM! I would love to plan out some OOC stuff on Discord as well if that is what others want to do.

I am mainly looking for 3 to 4 people to RP with here. I do not know my own ability to bring people in but in the off chance that this does gain more attention I would open up to the idea of adding more slots.

The RP would begin with all of your characters attending the Festival of the Lights after you have a strange vision. Something compelling you to attend the Festival.

Take it away, wolves!

Wonderful!

If you’d like, you can find the same IC in the advanced section and you can go ahead and post there as well!

I’m about to work up the actual OOC and share that with everyone so if you have any questions feel free to ask me!

Interested. I see you say if we would like to play something on the wild side then we could. Got any you consider wild side but not outlandish for your setting?

Glad to hear it! The OOC/IC is up in the advanced section if you want to move over there and give it a look!

Hmm... well that really depends on the player’s idea. Wild side I was thinking would be fantasy races not usually part of the big three. Or perhaps a human that might be struck with lycanthropy.
I mainly just said the wild side bit to try and spark some creativity as I love seeing all the interesting characters players come up with.

Ah that’s no big deal! I sometimes post from my phone as well so I know that struggle.
Just happy to have you on board!
