Revival of the Dragon Riders

Past Events


I'm still editing the document to remove all the images to make it easier to load, but our 42 pages on PFQ are 340 pages in the google doc XD It will be a few pages less when I'm done, but I don't think it will be much shorter.

Edit: ended with 212 pages :)

Two things:

1) I finished tidying up the past events Google doc.

2) I want to explain a bit more about Meria. I think part of her lore and the magic system I used for her can be incorporated in the RP, but only if everyone approves. It doesn't have to be everything, but it would be nice if we could incorporate some elements of it.

Meria is a water sorceress, and sorcerers can bend the elements to their will, providing there is a source. For instance, the flame sorcerers need fire if they want to shoot fireballs. I think Noble has a different kind of firemagic, I'd call him a mage rather than a sorcerer.
Among the sorcerers is an elemental trust or distrust depending on their affinity. Water goes well with air, but has a distrust towards fire and ground. Because of this Meria doesn't like dwarves, who have a natural affinity to ground, and this is also why she senses the aura of Noble as hostile.

People can have an affinity to an element without knowing it or doing it, warriors often have an affinity to fire, fishermen to water, things like that. Meria's father had an affinity to water, he was a fisherman and he was always able to find fish, he called it intuition, but he could sense where the fish were.
And in the other setup I mentioned the dwarves: their affinity to ground allows them to find ores and gems in the ground which makes them naturally good miners.
Aside from being stronger in the profession they have chosen, they can like or dislike people without knowing why: because it clashes with their elemental affinity. The reaction of normal humans tends to be less than that of sorcerers.

Then there are people who are born without an affinity to any element, so they can get along with anyone regardless of what affinity they have. And then there is the last element Spirit. It's an overarching element. They too can get along with everyone, regardless of the affinity or lack of affinity.

The Hermit would have an affinity to the Spirit element, which makes him able to read people better than the average man, but he's not a sorcerer.

As for Mikhal, he either has no affinity or an affinity to Spirit, because he gets along with everyone too (I hadn't decided that yet). And Trevor has an affinity to fire, which is why he and Meria don't get along.
So far Rachel hadn't been part of that lore, so I hadn't decided any affinity for her, but if I were to give her any, I'd say Air. For this reason she would never bond with a dragon of a fire or ground type, but having bonded with a Light dragon she would have overcome any natural dislikes for other elements in dragons.

I don't expect everyone will decide on any affinities, I just wanted to explain how it works for my characters :) It will be Meria mostly who reacts to other elements, because as an elemental sorceress she feels everything stronger than other people do.

"I'd call him a mage rather than a sorcerer. " Yeah! That's exactly what the 'elementals' of the family are, Mages. They get it from dragon blood was what I was planning uwu

I don't know if I'll have any of mine tied with an affinity, but I'm definitely okay with having it in the story!
Noble's family are all Mages, Noble being Fire, Damien being ground and Ria; Unsurprisingly, being Air. (Which is Ironic considering she has an Earth Dragon)

Seb is an Alien and Ricki has Alien blood so that's just Wacky.
But Seb would definitely have a Spirit Affinity-esque feel to him if anyone can sense any affinity, but he doesn't have one.

Duncan doesn't have any affinities, he can get along with everyone. Crreessa is obviously fire.
Alan is tricky. But since dwarves don't like elves and Gnol can sense Alan is half-elf eventhough his appearance is human I'd say Elves are Air. Making Alan air or at least partly air. His ground dragon doesn't mind in the least or is also part air

Speaking of dwarves. Calle introduced steampunk dwarves, a concept I'll happily work with. I was thinking that besides the normale ways to make steam (wood and coal and stuff for fires) I would like to introduce a special stone that can be charged by dragons. They call these stones Dragon Heartstones. If a fire dragon breathes his fire on one of those stones it will heat like a coal for a very long time and thus becoming a very duarable way to make steam but those stones are very rare. Even the size of pebbles are very hard to come by and it is a well kept secret between the dwarves and dragons. They would need very special container to carry the stones of course.
This could be extended to the stone absorbing any special trait of the dragon. If a dragon would breath ice over it for example it could be a freezing cold stone for days. If a light dragon puts light on it then it would illuminate for days etc.

I'd say dragons always have a hint of Air too, making them more likely to be okay with air mages and elves, despite any other elements they may have.

So, my old dragon who was alive during the war between dragons and humans, before the dragon riders came in existence, will make an appearance in my next post. His size is comparable to RedClaws and Ark, maybe slightly bigger.
I think it was mentioned in the RP that Ark is slightly smaller than RedClaws. And Mercury is smaller than Ark. I think Fiona will be roughly the same size as Mercury.

And Comet is small, I recall in the other setup it was mentioned she is similar in size as Toothless. And Orion somewhere between Comet and Mercury, right?

Another small dragon will join the party soon too, she is on her way and she will be a great playmate for Aero. She's a fairy dragon, her torso has the size of a human hand, and she's a friend of Mikhal.

Orian is a bit bigger than Comet, Comet is a tiny baby but she's also an extreme breed so you kinda can't count Size for Strength ahah.

And yes, I agree with this tiny new dragon, Seb will love her and Aero will absolutely love a tiny friend.

The Old King's Dragon will probably be bigger than RedClaws, he's a large Time Dragon.

I'm trying to decide if the old dragon will be annoyed or amused by the little one XD

I just realised I never replied to the Heartstones, but I like that idea! Of course none of my characters now anything about it, Mikhal may have heard a reference in a song once or twice, but never an explanation of what they really are.

As much as I wanted the King to be a standalone bad guy; I love the idea of him being a total fear baby and Volven is the real danger xD

Also yes.
Rai just spilled the entire bag of beans.

It's a good thing he has his loyal general with him who can be the bad guy substitute, trying his best to keep the kingdom safe and sometimes making decisions without informing the king first, especially when the king seems to be preoccupied with pleasing the monster instead of ruling the country.

It's not that the king is trying to please Volven, he's just trying not to get himself killed.
Volven is a dangerous bastard. He won't allow anything to go against his own terms.

But the general helping would be a good idea~! I like it.

He and Creessaa are almost soul-mates!
