In the land Alyrion, summers and long and winters are short. Ruled by the just and brave Queen Margaret Isabell, the Kingdom of Dayne is renowned for its beauty, wealth and prosperity. The crowning jewel of the kingdom is the Seat of Dayne, the floating Castle in which the Queen and her court make their home.
Once a year the Queen descends to Queen's Rest, the rolling hills, bountiful forests and sparkling lakes that lay just beyond the shadow of her majestic castle. During this time grand tournaments and festivals are held in her honor and in celebration of the long summer to come.
Traditionally, the celebration of summer is celebrated with dancing, songs, tournaments, and most importantly - fire. Great bonfires are lit nightly to lead the celebrations long into the nights and early into the following days. The fires stay alive day and night, accompanying revelries all week long to keep the night and the darkness away.
Of course, wherever there is light there are also shadows. Rumour has it that the Queen of Dayne is not the only royalty planning to honour this year's festivities... the Prince of Thieves, leader of the Thief's Guild, has allegedly been planning a large scale operation and the coincidence of the timing has not gone unnoticed by those who have the means and the money to make notice of such whispers. Only time will tell what sort of plan the Thief's Guild has for this annual celebration, but the Queen's Knights will be there, watching over the Queen and her subjects to keep them from harm.
☼ Welcome to the Kingdom of Dayne!
☼ It's Festival time!
☼ From kissing booths to fire dancing, enjoying the local taverns or testing your skill in the tournaments, there is something for everyone!
☼ If you do well enough in the competitions, you may be favoured with some royal recognition ;)
☼ Or, if you believe the pen quill is mightier than the sword, then the Queen would love to hear from aspiring bards as well!
☼ Enjoy your stay, and watch out for those dastardly thieves! They always show up when you least expect it... so report any suspicious behavior to the local guards!
☼ This is a casual, friendly RP for anyone, anyone at all!
☼ Any level of Role-player is welcome :)

Character Name: Jaime
Profession: ρяιη¢є σƒ тнιєνєѕ
Alignment: Thieves Guild
Personality: the Prince brandishes a cavalier attitude as easily as he does his bow, aiming high and confident he'll hit his mark every time. He is genial towards everyone, especially his enemies, and is only rarely truly angry. Taking everything with a smile and some jest, it's a mystery if he's even capable of taking anything seriously
Username: Robayn
Character Name: Margaret
Profession: the Queen of Dayne
Alignment: Royal Court
Personality: Regal and poised, now that is the Queen. And naturally kind and gentle spirit, she easily puts up with the constant banter in the court. She spends every morning in her garden, every afternoon doing royal business and evenings feasting with nobles, her schedule laid out for her daily, from dawn to dusk.
Username: Spottedteddybears
Character Name: Charles
Profession: Knight
Alignment: Court
Personality: Obedient, violent, and a little more than unhinged.
Username: Sephistrife16
Character Name: Dante
Profession: Swashbuckler

Username: Ronyo Storm
Character Name: Eran
Profession: Cat burglar
Alignment: thieves guild
Personality: Eran is very happy and practically prances every where in her heels, stealing what ever she can get her greedy hands on.
Username: eran no shi
Character Name: Kali
Profession: Healer
Alignment: Guild
Personality: As the Prince's adopted younger sister, she's the seriousness to his frivolity. She simply does her job for those who need it, and unknown to her is very beloved by the guild.
Username: Hikari Aijuntani
Character Name: Cerelia
Profession: Young Entertainer/Servant
Alignment: Royal Court
Personality: Young, Mature, Sophisticated, Kind, Relaxed, Curious
Username: Schizophrenic_Cupcakes

Username: Pinkiekitty
Character Name: Vivian
Profession: Duchess of (some random place I'll think of later)
Alignment: Court
Personality: A thoroughly lively lady, Vivian combines good etiquette with a touch of fun. While she is perfectly content with spending an afternoon sipping tea with the royals, she also doesn't mind going on the occasional hunt.
Username: nightscapture
Character Name: Alastaire
Profession: Royal, Prince
Alignment: Court
Personality: Appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience:
I have: a vivid imagination. Excellent ideas....Sometimes. Also, I don't mind being the center of attention. Comfortable around people. Usually I start conversations and talk to a lot of different people at parties.
HOWEVER, for all my winning qualities I have a tendency to not think of others emotions in a situation and have been told I come off as a bit...strong. Hah!
Username: iNk_mAy
Character Name: Bastien
Profession: Royal Bard
Alignment: The Court
Personality: Bastien is a true romantic. Perhaps, if he had more of a fighting spirit, he would have long taken the place of the Captain, but for all the ferocity of his loyalty, he is a ferocious as a kitten in all walks not involving love. His devotion to the queen is unparalleled in his mind, though maybe less so in practice. He is extremely well-educated and eloquent, as would be expected of a wordsmith.
Username: BasiWolff
Character Name: Annabella
Profession: temptress
Alignment: thieves guild
Personality: I tried to be good, I really did. But mischief seems to follow me like the burglars follow the rich! So naturally I became one. Then a cat bit me and I grew little flicking kitty ears. So I figured with my new neko adorableness that I could steal or tempt anything from almost anyone. It worked beautifully.
Username: Pink in Style

Sign up here if you want to be a co-host!
There will be TWO courts you can choose from. We are going to try to balance the two.
You can choose to be in the Royal Court. This is where the Lords and Ladies, Dukes and Duchesses, even foreign princes and princesses reside. There are entertainers in this court, like Bards and Dancers, and we can't forget the Knights.
OR
You can choose the Thieves Guild. Cutpurses, Cat Burglars, Con Artists, Fishermen and Shill Masters all make their home here. This guild is not for the faint of heart for you can be sure that the Prince has big plans for the festival. [include tektek here]

(putting this on the front page for easy reference.) Hey guys! Thanks everyone for applying, I know this event is going to be great! I am still holding out hope for an event forum of some kind in May from Gaia, so that is why I would like to be ready asap (which I believe we are!) and ready to be active in anticipation of an unannounced event from Gaia. Barring and event forum, however, the official date for this event is May 18-21. It will be in the Barton town RP forum. And finally, to explain why you are choosing thieves guild or court: Similar to the Halloween event and the April event, there will be two opposing sides. The Thieves Guild members aren't known by the court, however, so there is opportunity for pranks and mischief all around... except that during the daylight hours the Prince of Thieves is declaring that the common folk (who would otherwise be victims in potential crossfire) are to be protected, so the Thieves Guild is to be on their best behaviour during the day. At night, though, every Guild member is free to make as much trouble as they like! The guards from the court may still be active, even the Knights, but it will be very difficult for them to catch any thieves under the cover of darkness. So, in a nutshell: Day time hosting is for the court. They are the main hosts during the day, and any thieves who are online will be posing as guests.Night time hosting is for the Thieves. They are the main hosts during the night and any online members of the court will need to adapt to the topsy-turvy, chaotic night life of the Guild.We can post at ANY TIME. You aren't restricted to the night or day if that interferes with your personal schedule, but be aware of what time you are posting so that you can act accordingly with your character. IE: if the Queen is out at night, it's unlikely that she will be a confident and comfortable commanding a bunch of thieves who are more likely to steal her crown than bow in respect~ just as the Prince of Thieves would get himself arrested by the guard if he were to announce himself in the middle of the day and gaily walk down the street, whereas at night he won't have to be hiding his identity. I will post a big graphic that distinguishes between night and day so that we know what "time" of day it is. We all have different time zones so we can't go by what night and day is for us RL, so we will roughly follow the PST and, in case I can't get online to post the graphic, we will say that "night time" begins at 7pm PST and day begins at 9AM PST.
