"Tell me, Traveler, do you fear the darkness? You'll never last if you do."
There's a soft laugh following these words, and the deep darkness that is currently surrounding you lifts--just enough to reveal the silhouette of a young man standing across from you.
He seems to step out of the darkness itself, coming into full view, and lays a hand to hilt of the sword at his hip. His head cants to the side, and a rather thoughtful look claims his features for a few moments as he begins his examination before it fades into a welcoming smile.
"The name's Nocturne. Welcome to the world of Larmadia and to my Server. There are certain orders that you will be given while occupying my Server, and should you adhere to them, you will have no troubles."
He pauses and waves a hand slightly--everything becomes pitch black once more.
"Of course, if you don't, well... You'll learn to fear the dark. Now, look up."
Upon doing so, the first thing you will notice is a night sky dotted with stars. A shooting star shoots by overhead, and a cool evening breeze ruffles your hair.
Slowly, the rest of the darkness surrounding you melts away to reveal a city--lit by the light of twin moons and various lights dotting the buildings and streets while NPC citizens and players alike bustle about. As you step forward to begin your journey, you barely hear your Server's parting statement above the rising sounds of the city.
"May the stars shine their blessing upon you."
