Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is just a fun way to learn more about the Dragon-Bound world. Feel free to ask your favorite NPC any question you want: about the world, about politics, culture, art, religion, magic, history - you name it. Or ask them more personal questions about themselves. Anything is permitted and anything is answered. The goal behind this thread is to get people more information they can use to roleplay with while being more entertaining than a standard FAQ.

For example:

For Black Swan: What is your fascination with Vampires?

For Yvette's: what have been the extent of measures have been taken about the dragons that escaped?

For Sain: What Do you look for in a blessed?

Fairy Kingdom: are there more than one Fae region cause I am quite confused with how many Fea kings and Queens they are?

Sain: can reborn's walk the Blessed path?

Tarketh: how much tourcher does Ashley go through.

Gormik(sp): does Crevan get something for seeking you out?

World of Dragon Bound: I plan on throwing myself into this world soon, I being a Inarni/ Vixen would that classify me as a Fae type or could we create another race type more spiritual tune creatures.

Black Swan: They exist, that's why I am fascinated by them. Creatures that defy the mortal coil and yet their presence is permitted by the Blessed Path? There is still knowledge denied to me - and I suspect denied to Sain as well - and these creatures seem to be a piece of that Their unlife is... both unnatural and natural and I cannot discern why. If I could find why their taint is permitted than perhaps I can use it. But their sire is formidable, even to I...

Baroness Yvette: The incident has been buried and forgotten. It would take resources that I am not willing to commit to hunt them down and my efforts are better spent elsewhere. I sent Caleb and his hunters out and they found an adolescent and brought its hide back through the center of my city so everyone could see. That was enough to satisfy the masses. I need do nothing more in that regards.

Sain: Initiative, mostly. The Blessed Path doesn't have much of a handbook, you see, so the knowledge it provides is usually through action. Nothing is handed to us. I can see all the possible futures but there are so many that I must consider the strongest and then determine what actions will lead to those becoming the events that are cemented in time. I can reshape reality but I must find ways to do so that will leave a small footprint to the world around. And while I will provide guidance, I still expect my fellow Blessed to actively search through the possible futures of this world and seek the weak points where our intervention is needed - like the Black Swan's scion or the war between the fae.

Kocerou: I get to answer this question because I am fae and probably the most affable of the lot. And most attractive and other assorted 'a' words like awesome and admirable... and arrogant. Hah! So - my kingdom - that of the Silver Rose - is only one of several fae kingdoms. It's actually difficult to number us as kingdoms come and go in response to the growth of the forest. We also have some kingdoms scattered in the remote places of the world where the humans haven't gone like the northern mountains and the ocean - but we rarely have contact with them. The King of the Ocean is a bit of a d**k, in all honesty. The only one you really will need to remember is the Silver Rose as their territory is all along the border between fae and human/dragon. The rest are further into the forest where time and distance blur and don't fit in your standard definitions. Don't seek them out. It won't end well.

Sain: They can indeed. The reasons why are forbidden to mortal kind, sorry. But a reborn can also be Blessed.

Tarketh: Funny you should ask that... tell you what. Drink this cup of *cough* tea *cough* and you'll find out.

Gorknik: ...rabbit bones? No, no... bit of soft yellow metal... no, plenty of that in human hands already... ah. Glass orb. Strange colors - all pale blue shot through with white flecks. Do not break it yet. Someday. Not yet.

Kocerou: You totally classify as fae. Want to be one of my retainers? Hmmm?

Black Swan: They exist, that's why I am fascinated by them. Creatures that defy the mortal coil and yet their presence is permitted by the Blessed Path? There is still knowledge denied to me - and I suspect denied to Sain as well - and these creatures seem to be a piece of that Their unlife is... both unnatural and natural and I cannot discern why. If I could find why their taint is permitted than perhaps I can use it. But their sire is formidable, even to I...

I don't know if their presence is permitted by the Blessed Path, not unless there is some agreement made. Possibility with this Sire you speak of, do you know what is the origins of him or her?

Baroness Yvette: The incident has been buried and forgotten. It would take resources that I am not willing to commit to hunt them down and my efforts are better spent elsewhere. I sent Caleb and his hunters out and they found an adolescent and brought its hide back through the center of my city so everyone could see. That was enough to satisfy the masses.

Very well then. How old are you truely?

Sain: Initiative, mostly. The Blessed Path doesn't have much of a handbook, you see, so the knowledge it provides is usually through action. Nothing is handed to us.

And what is known of the Black Swan's history that may involve the vampires of it's interest?

Kocerou: I get to answer this question because I am fae and probably the most affable of the lot. And most attractive and other assorted 'a' words like awesome and admirable... and arrogant. Hah!

Thank you I will keep that in mind.

Sain: They can indeed. The reasons why are forbidden to mortal kind, sorry. But a reborn can also be Blessed.

I didn't ask for reasons, just the fact it's possible, is reason enough to possibly peruse it.

Tarketh: Funny you should ask that... tell you what. Drink this cup of *cough* tea *cough* and you'll find out.

Do you have a cold?

Gorknik: ...rabbit bones? No, no... bit of soft yellow metal... no, plenty of that in human hands already... ah. Glass orb. Strange colors - all pale blue shot through with white flecks. Do not break it yet. Someday. Not yet.

-looks at the orb- not mine go give it to Crevan.

Kocerou: You totally classify as fae. Want to be one of my retainers? Hmmm?

Fae it is then, retainers please explain what one is before I wander to tainted thoughts of things being stuck within your mouth... yeap. too late.

Ooo, I have another. Going to go to Yvette, Caleb, or both on this one because I don't know who would have the answer.

Yvette/Caleb/etc: (Because I'm probably not going to find out via rp,) What happened on the castle's side of things after... um... after someone probably swung by to see the mage who had the ranger captive? What did they think happened?

Caleb: Ugh. I had to shift through that mess - not literally, thank the gods - but it was up to me to try and piece together what happened. The best I could figure was that the ranger we'd brought in had some sort of magical talent that she'd managed to bury, or perhaps it hadn't awakened until this moment. Either that, or she was blessed by one of the gods and countered with divine - basically, the most we could figure out is that magic had gone horribly wrong and our mage was caught in the blast. We figured that the ranger was dead as well, possibly her body utterly destroyed by said magic. The room stank of it - worse than the blood even. So we left it at that and found a new mage for the keep as soon as we possibly can and he took a look at it and said it was primal in nature, some sort of magic he wasn't familiar with. Cleansed the room, summoned a priest of Lahmear to purify it, and left it at that.

To Hanuvh: If you could have had one reaction/moment as a spirit right after your death, what would it have been?

Black Swan: She overstates my generosity. As for why I request the heart... it has long been a symbol of life and power. The heart is believed to be the center of all things, the source of emotions and without it, one cannot live. It is so very fragile. By taking the heart, I have a hold over the person that they cannot best, over their life, over their being.

Baroness Yvette: Prolonging my life with magic is impossible and I do not care to commit my resources to bringing an alterist to the Borderlands. Vanity is not worth that sort of money and ordeal.

Sain: I'm an agent of the Blessed Path - the oldest of them - but the Path was around far, far before I was. And from what I can tell, the Swan came into being shortly after or at the same time as the Path.

Tarketh: I have barbs. I can just stab you with one.

Kocerou: I'm a fae. My kind aren't renowned for thinking our actions through. It's anathema to us. You expect an explanation?
