Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well I was asked to start a more serious rp than the bar one here and I''ve worked it out I just need to get the final ok so this counts as offical xd

The story is as follows

The kingdom of Slanfor was prosperous and happy. The crop grew tall and plenty and all was well. No one hungered or suffered and the sun shone upon the kingdom.

But in the great library in the capital of Slanfor a mage looked through ancient scrolls. This mage, Dartac had always been interested in prophecy believing it would one day be true and that now was the time to learn and understand these prophecies and to prepare for what he thought, an inevitable future. He stared at the ancient history books blankly and something, somewhere suggested to him, “move them aside, look behind.” He merely did it, automatically. Behind the tomes he found a small dusty scroll. It wasn’t worn from use like many others; it simply had aged over time. Dartac was on his way down the ladder before he realised the strangeness of what he had done. He moved over to the desk at which he had sat long into the hours of the morning, so much so that the sun began to rise once more. He placed the scroll upon the desk and sat down.
His eyes darted from line to line as he read the ancient writing.

“I, Tharok high mage of Slanfor, on the date of 24th of the 3rd month in the year 434 have discovered the future fate of the kingdom of Slanfor. Early in the hours of the morn I discovered an odd writing in the scrolls. It spoke of the world growing darker and demons emerging from the darkness. I would have dismissed this as ancient scare mongering but the scroll seemed to glow. I ran to the king with it. He ignored it scoffing at it and proclaiming “I’m sure you of all people Tharok realise how easy it is to make something glow.” Later I managed to finish translating the ancient tongue. It spoke of how ignorance would destroy the kingdom if the Light of Arathoras was not retrieved and used to cast back the darkness. I once more spoke to the king and the council of mages, whom once more laugh at me believing I am no longer sound of mind. I write this in the hope one day someone will believe and step forward to save us.”

The common tongue stopped and in the strange ruins of the old tongue was an inscription. Dartac squinted at it, he was but a lowly mage only the council knew the old tongue but somehow he read it aloud in a muttered tone. “The Light lights the place the sun will soon forget. It must now bring light to all” He dropped the scroll as it turned to ash in his hands.

A great darkness descended upon the land as the sun dimmed, as though cowering from his words. He ran to the watch tower and stood atop it to look out at the land. It all seemed darker but one place seemed dark. It was just beyond a small town to the west. The king and his men where close behind him, one pushed him to the ground “What have you done boy?!” Dartac explained the finding of the scroll in a shaky voice and the king ordered a 200 thousand gold piece reward for the finding of the Light of Arathoras after much argument with his knights.

And so in the village of Yewarth, knights seeking glory, scholars seeking enlightenment, treasure hunters seeking riches and many others gather to search for the Light.

Hope you liked that

In the RP you can play any various sort of quester for The Light of Arathoras. Profile details will follow as well as rules and stuff

Description of Yewarth and surroundings (setting)

Yewarth is a small village of untrouble people who live far away from the capital heart of the kingdom of Slanfor. Which is by far the most troubled and burdened part of Slanfor.

Yewarth itself is at the base of a large mountain and is covered on the mountain side of the village, by forest which is dense one wouldn't notice thwy had started their accent of the peak until it breaks off and becomes less thick. A climber could expect to have very little time to relax between the end of the forest and the start of a fairly short but very steep climb. Having completed the climb things would then begin to get rather snowy as you near the top, and frankly blizzardy part of the mountain at the section of the mountain.

However the Yewarthian villagers don't concern themselves with the mountain but continue to live their lives with their only worries being the folk tales of how in darker times past demons and beasts used to emerge from a system of catacombs which run under the mountain, the enterance to which is reputed to be in the forest.

xp

sounds good ^^

So im in? whee

You could use a master.. perhaps i'll play a local business man who sets out to find the Light for financial gain

Name : Moonhee.

Class : Psychic.

Appearence : Waist length silvered hair, grey eyes. Usually clad in leather from her neck down, only glimpses of her abdomen, thighs, and fingertips revealed from under the dark material. A dark maroon brooch clasps the collar of her shirt together, while a belt-like attachment holds her jacket tight over her chest. Her long jacket falls only a few centimeters above the heels of her boots, which hold tight up along her thigh. Her short skirt clings across her hips, with her shirt split above her navel, otherwise tight upon her upper body.

Equipment/ Skills : She drags around a smoothly crafted staff with her, nearly of her own height. Her psychic abilities include telepathy, telekinesis. Minor sorcery.

History : She'd been brought up as a seer by her family, though for all the wrong reasons. She had been used for a profit to her parents, her young age being a more innocent and appeasing sight than an older member of the family. She'd learned to use a staff at a young age with the help of a childhood friend, much to the dismay of her guardians. When he began helping her with minor sorcery ( I.e.--Fire control, water control, you get the basis. ), her family had taken her from contact of other people than clients. With her growing age, they began to use her for more purposes, her body used for desirable purposes, and her mind for sight of their purpose. She'd only finally escaped by killing a client who had become overly brutal with her.

We start when we actually have some members. good profile Kurushimeru you're in
