"The war that I have warned the realm of has finally arrived, and nobody not even you, my fellow wizards, heeded my advice. I hope the Spiral Towers is ready for the coming darkness.

I was the one that noticed the signs that a war was coming. I felt the disturbance of demonic magic piercing into our realm a year ago, faint at first but to the trained mind all too clear. As the weeks progressed it soon grew in both power and scale. Then the villagers started to disappear into the night a few months after that. It was at this point I sent out my recon team, who within a week found a mass grave filled with hundreds of dead humans, all drained of their blood. I immediately sent out ravens to the Lords and the Ladies of the realm, advising them of what was to come.

I told them that the Dark Crusade was a distraction from the real threat; I pleaded with them to prepare their cities for the demons that were to come. I warned them of the age of darkness that was about to fall upon them. Two days ago, I watched as demonic beasts swept through the lines of soldiers, casting them aside as if they were nothing. I watched as the dragon emerged from the mountain that our ancestors buried it in and melted all that challenged it. I watched in horror. I warned them, I warned them all, and now our realm is all but lost.

The Lords and the Ladies of the realm dismissed me, and now they will burn in oblivion forever unless we succeed in one last desperate mission.

Even in the darkest of nights, light still prevails. I know the location, far to the north where the frozen mountains meet the Sea of Ice, of the site the religious have long argued that was the home for all life in the beginning; where the gods created us all. The canyon of the gods is where I now ride to. The journey will take me a month to complete No soul has ever returned from entering the canyon, and those that have observed it from afar say that it is filled with nightmarish monsters that stalk the grounds within. Our salvation, our future, lies in this canyon.

One week ago I sent the message out to those fated to help me on my journey. At first glance, they may appear to be every bit the danger that they are; with the threat of violence and possibility of death at the end of every argument that they start amongst themselves. Little does this group know that they and they alone are the key to victory over evil; I pray I can guide them to the light before they start killing each other.

If you do not get a second message from me in one weeks' time, we have failed. You know what you must do in that event."

~ Grand Wizard Mulad, date stamped 2 days after the failed battle


What are our example races?

These are just some generic races and some possible sub-races. You can have some creative freedom with this. Don't see a race/sub-race that fits you? Create one! Within reason of course









What is our current mission?

Here is a list of both the various enemies we will face, as well as some of the friendlier faces. As well, I will keep the "Things that changed the world" section as we progress. I still plan to add a lot more to this section in the coming days.







Events that changed the world.
In this section I will be putting events, both current as we write and historical as per our Character Sheets. The more things we accomplish, the longer this list grows!

Welcome!



Rules for magic:


Magic always has a cost, first and foremost. The more magic weaker you use, the more it will strain your body. Similarly, the more complicated the spell the harder it taxes your body. Like a warrior can train his stamina, a mage can train to increase his "mana" so to speak

Dude! Awesome. I'll write a character after I'm off work in several hours. These races are great, multiple human sorts even. I live original takes on classic, familiar elements.

Per our discussion I'll be working on that character. I do want to delve into lineage more and history, but I will come up with a proposal and submit so you can tell me what does and doesn't work in this scenario. After today, I should be a lot more able to focus creatively so I'll be jumping on it.

I like that approach; gives me a lot more details to nitpick and look through :) I can not wait to see it.

@Nariata Can I suggest a race (in PMs) even if I don't plan to play it?

Also I'm curious about the concept of this "demon magic" the Grand Wizard mentioned. Is it actually demonic?

@Torack@Life in Stasis

I like them. ACCEPTED, move them over to the CS tab when ready. Both sound like unique characters who will make a fine addition to the party!

Demonic magic is something different and very unknown to most. Demonic magic as a whole is similar to the magic we know, but on a whole other power scale; and with a dark energy that Grand Wizards can feel. When IC, ask Mulad about it ;)

I have four hours where I can work on my CS, so hopefully, I can get that finished so I can devote tomorrow to my IC post.

@Nariata I swear to God the story was about 2 kingdoms fighting or something along those lines and just when they were about to kill the dark wizard he summoned a dragon...

It still is, but the story itself more or less revolves around the Kingdom of the mortal races versus the kingdom of the damned if you will. The Mad King did not summon the dragon per say, rather he freed him from his eternal prison by breaking the seal that had him sealed away; perhaps, as a result, the seal also broke open a gate to the Demonic realm. Monsters are real in this RP and we will encounter them. :)

This seems so familiar for some reason. I might have been part of this before, if it had a previous run?

This is similar to a few other RP's I attempted over the past few years. Until Dawn was the normal name for the RP, with names like "as the last light went out" and "in an age of darkness" being the other two. I do remember your name for some reason so it is quite possible :)

I actually found the old thread. I can't believe it's almost three years ago!
Reading it all back it doesn't like feel that at all. Wow.....I remember the first few scenes, it was so action packed, right from the get go.

It was called When the Walls beckon. I'm not sure if I can come up with a good character, and if you even want me here XD
I mean the story didn't get very far that time.

OMG yes! I remember that RP! That was the first iteration of this story, I had completely forgotten about it! If I remember right, I had another long IC post ready and forgot to save and nothing Auto saved:(. Oh man, I am pulling up that RP for a trip down memory lane:)

If you want to join, you're more than welcome to. I promise this is going to be fun.

@dreamingflowers If I also remember correctly, I did not plan out the future of that RP in advance. I have three unique acts planned for this one!

Oh gosh then I definately have to join. I mean I was part of the original cast, sort to speak hahahaha.
Yeah we definately ran into some issues along the way. I remember sticking with it to the near end, but I lost interest and that just completely sucked. It was really fun to read it all back though, if a bit cringe worthy to read my own writing again. Not all of the things I wrote hold up over time it seems lol.

I would love to join. Just need to think of a character I would like to play and which compliments the ones we already have. It was fun the first time too, just saying ^.^
