Imalessa's arrow had hit its mark, and yet the troll still had some fight left in it. Cursing under her breath, she marveled with a sick curiosity at how the thing was still kicking. But the arrow had seemed to do something, if not kill it. She nocked another, watching as it reached out and grabbed at Gentle, preparing to bite. There were no gods she believed in, let alone bothered to pray to, but she hoped she could get lucky once more and loosed her arrow.
Name: Elra Silverfang Sex: Female Age: 55 Race: Elf (Lythari) History: Elra was captured by human rangers and brought down by trappers. A magic arrow then a collar was placed preventing her from changing forms. In a small cage she recovered being fed scraps and being shown at fairs. Finally, she was sold to a wizard as a pet who hoped to make her a familiar. In his care, the collar was removed and she changed back to her Elven form. She spent years with her human master, learning of magic. Though she could read some of the Elven texts, he could not. She did not dare impart all of the knowledge he had collected. She paid cruelly to keep those secrets from him. Fire destroyed his home and she was free, her Master was dead before the fire started. But the dark magic and forbidden spells he collected went up in flames. In need of money and more for the protection from her Master’s followers, she headed to the castle to help with the quest and truly regain her freedom. He had spread stories that she ate children and would change them into demons.
Other: Lythanri are like wolves, they try to avoid fights unless cornered, trapped or to protect people she cares about. Elra has a hatred of slaver, cages, and chains.
In wolf form, she can track and see in near dark, but can use much of her magic.
I am picturing her magic as being illusions, enchantment, and a little necromantic (which makes her sick to use).
@geminironin@Borosev I've read through your characters and they're good! Once we get enough people, I'll get the first post up in the IC. If you haven't already and you want to, check out the discord. I'll try and post announcements there and in OOC (if I remember).
@Borosev I've included a character sheet on the main page. There are the basics, as well as a place to add any additional information that you think is relevant to your character.
"A dagger has only a single point, but a traitor cuts from anywhere"
PLOT
The kingdom of Ovyadell used to be a sprawling, elven kingdom. Its lands had been rich and fertile, the skies a beautiful azure blue, the sea that ran alongside the kingdom calm and placid. Then the sea grew dark and cold; its gentle waves grew rough and harsh winds blew in from the open waters. The elves moved inland, nearer to the borders, where Ovyadell still held some of its beauty, and left Ironkeep and all surrounding cities to the race of men.
The great kings and queens of men moved built Eastormel Castle on the outskirts of Ironkeep. Its sturdy stone walls stand unyielding against the winds and rains of the Ashen Sea. It was thought to be impenetrable. It was impenetrable for many years, until the reign of King Silas. A thief had somehow managed to slip unnoticed through the ancient halls, and when their boldness grew, they stole the Dark Dagger.
Enraged, the King offered a job, a reward for any who would be willing to find the Dark Dagger and return it to him. On the day of the meeting, he had his guards open the castle gates and allow any and all inside who wished to test their luck. All that was left was for someone to find the dagger.
SETTING
Ovyadell
Ovyadell, once home to the elves, is situated against the Ashen Sea. Before the waters turned harsh, it was a beautiful kingdom: Fields of green grasses and colorful wildflowers that stretched for miles, ancient forests whose boughs and branches creaked and swayed in the breeze. After, however, it became a cold place. Rain always pours and brutal winds always batter the land. The elves left it to the race of men, choosing to move farther inland to escape the sea's wrath.
Ironkeep
Ironkeep is the capital of Ovyadell and is situated closest to the Ashen Sea. Because of this, it receives the worst of the rains and winds. Its people, however, are resilient and manage to carve out a life for themselves.
Eastormel Castle
Eastormel Castle was built after the elves had left the area that was later renamed Ironkeep. Years of harsh winds and rains have worn away at the stone, yet it still stands proud. Its western walls overlook the Ashen Sea.
The Underground
The Underground lies just outside Ovyadell's borders. Though it belongs to no one, everyone is in silent agreement that the lands fall under Ovyadell's rule. It is a stretch of barren wasteland that is home to the scum of the earth. Murderers, bandits, and thieves alike use it as a place of rest and to fence their stolen goods.
CHARACTERS
Races
There are a variety of different races in Ovyadell, though elves and humans are the most common. If there is not one you prefer in the list of examples, feel free to PM or ask in the OOC. (Keep in mind that this is a dark fantasy, so you can let your imagination run wild).
I'll start setting up the main page soon. It'll have more information on it. @JJ Doe Races such as elves, humans, dwarves. You're basic fantasy setting. However, it is dark fantasy, so if you want to do something else just PM me and we can go over it and anything that would go along with RPing that race. @Borosev You'll make your own character. I'll put up a character sheet on the main page along with other information. If you want to choose a race other than the examples I put up, then just PM me and we can go over it.
