It is the 15th of Anais, year 1648.
Today, some of the most powerful people on the continent assemble at Harrow's Tower.
Tomorrow, the final verdict on the Mageborn-Technologist conflict will be delivered.
A decision that will be remembered for centuries to come.




ℙremise


249 years ago, the Croanian Empire finally fulfilled its goal of conquering the continent of Kals. After years of war, Croania took control of the capital of technologist Ateria and subjugated its people, turning the former country into Northern Croania. The continent was united.

Now, in the present day, the Empire heads towards war once more. But, this time, instead of fighting a foreign power, Croania is tearing itself apart from the inside.

The Mage Queen of Croania, in an effort to keep the country unified, has invited all the House lords, 12 southern mageborn and 3 technologists, to a conference at Harrow’s Tower, a key centerpoint in the fracturing country. The goal of the conference is to discuss solutions to the conflict and consider redistributing power to the North.

With war looming on the horizon, the day of the Peace Talks draws closer. The future of Croania hangs in the balance.

𝕀nformation


Welcome to Cardinal Rift, a fantasy/sci-fi RP!

Cardinal Rift is set on Croania, a continent with two wildly different cultures. In the North, there are cars, televisions, and highly advanced computer systems far more powerful than what we have in our world. However, the technology is very concentrated at the top, with most of the population owning very little. In the South, the technology is at about the level of Victorian-era England. The quality of life, however, is much higher, with cleaner streets, more food, and a much more temperate climate.

The two cultures have been in conflict for some time (although there has been very little outright violence). The starting point of Cardinal Rift is at Harrow’s Tower, a building right on the “border” between the cultures. There, 15 representatives from each house will gather to discuss and solve the problems plaguing their relationship.

The Peace Talks will be chapter 1 of the RP. The following chapters will focus on their repercussions and impacts all across Croania. You can make your own House, join a pre-existing one, or something else entirely!

Is this going to function as a Nation RP, just with houses instead of nations?

Not really, no. Essentially, while the entire thing is large-scale, not everyone will have a house. There are open houses for player backstories/if people want to play a lord. They also don't have to be as developed as the GM-made houses.

The focus on the RP, in the end, is on the player characters and their development.

ℍouse 𝕀nfo

Name: Aureolin
Domain: Communications
Location: Place 4
Members:
Lord: Althein Aureolin
Ladies: Magnolia Dessdia, Kerenza Edelwane,
Heir: Aelious Aureolin
Wyvern Fleet Commander: Savaniel Volduriaz
Investigations Chief: Esprit Esace

History:
House Aureolin rose to prominence not out of a desire for wealth and power, but through the power of love...or so it is told. The young Averus Aureolin, out of a desire to court a lady all the way on the opposite coast, flew the House's fastest Wyvern to the territories of Pachel, simply to deliver a letter to the lady love of his life before scrambling back onto his Wyvern and departing home before he could embarrass himself to death. Waiting for letters though, was agony, and the Wyverns that his family bred at the time were ill-suited for swift transportation: they were bred for war and destruction, not for delivering mail to uninterested ladies.

So Averus Aureolin did what any Heir of House Aureolin did. He bred Wyverns for speed, endurance and intelligence, to deliver messages from one part of the continent to the other. It took time though, but by then, the idea of Wyvern mail became something that sparked the passion of the rest of the House as well. Once just a family specialized in breeding Wyverns for war, now, they delved into communications, starting with their Wyvern Courier Service, before technologies such as the printing press, the telegraph, and the railroad enabled them to become the news and publishing tycoon that they are in the present time. Any writer worth their salt has House Aureolin as their patron, and there are even rumors surfacing that the House has begun research on wireless communication.

Other Information:
House Aureolin works closely with House Granis and House Dalris, and is especially amiable with the latter House, who they have a common ancestor with.

Twenty years ago, House Aureolin was heavily investigated by House Immolis after the general public was riled up against House Nols due to a newspaper report that held some unconfirmed, libellous facts. The Investigations Chief in Aureolin was subsequently fired for their incompetence.

The Lords of Aureolin hold pride in their ties to the noble Wyverns that they've raised and perfected for generations. Any prospective Heir is trained to ride these glorious beasts, saddles and reins be damned.

Interested, I'm currently looking through your Doc, and I see you put a lot of work into it. I hope this doesn't die off- quickly, at least.
