This world is ruled by the four main elements, The Goddess Earth, The God Air, The Goddess Fire and The God Water. Below them come the Demi Goddess Light and the Demi God Dark. Lastly come the Atalantea, the servants to these gods, some of which took on roles such as Fate, Death, Fertility and Chance. The peoples of this land were well off. The majority of the population worships the Elements though some small villages or individuals chose to dedicate their lives to the Atalantea.
At the peak of their power the Elements created a perfect island to be their home, and to it called noble families of elves and a few mortals. There the Elemental Powers bestowed their wisdom to a chosen few of these beings.
Those who dwelt on The Scared Island lived happily and grew wise as Light watched them each day. But as night fell and Dark came to the sky the people disappeared into their homes, and this Dark never witnessed the happiness his sister Light told him of. He grew to hate Light and the Elemental powers, and even the people of the sacred island for withholding all this from him. So within the shadows of his night he began to plot. He enlisted the aid of those creatures that could not stand the burning light of day. The Orcs, Ogres and Goblins of the mountains, the Drow that dwelt below the surface and the large poisonous spiders that were forced to live in damp caves to shield their many eyes. He managed to turn some of the mortals and elves that held darkness in their hearts, and lastly he turned some of the Atalantea to his will and used them to lead his dark army.
On the night of the new moon, when Dark’s shadows were complete he attacked. The beings of The Sacred Island were caught by surprise and had little time to defend themselves. A slaughter ensued! A few of the people managed to escape by means of the sea, pouring onto the elven crafted ships, and thus fled to the mainland!
Dark was furious that so many of those cursed people escamped, and he knew he could no longer dwell on The Sacred Island so he too moved to the mainland. There he set up his stronghold in a deep dark corner of a great forest, where the tree are so thick his minions can walk about in full daylight.
The other corner of this forest was inhabited by elves and was home to the largest shrine to The Goddess Earth on the mainland. As the eastern corner of their home was overcome by darkness they fought in the name of their goddess and attempted to push the evil back. They failed! They did not know it was the Demi God Dark they fought, they knew it only as a powerful sage, and thus they named it the Neomancer.
In the time of the Lady Diandriel, the Neomancer was finally driven out of the Emerald Wood. In his flight he destroyed the village of Tilanta and established his new domain in the forsaken lands.

The Emerald Village: The Emerald Village is the settlement dedicated to The Goddess Earth. It is a village of only elves, since the current King of the Emerald Wood does not take kindly to mortals and wishes his village to be “pure”. His son and Step daughter do not agree though and his step daughter will sometimes bring mortals that she befriended on her travels back with her. The lone mountain is said to have been raised by the Goddess Earth so that her followers may keep vigilance on the Neomancer when he dwelt within the woods borders. Now it is used for ceremonial purposes and the palace is carved into its side with the rest of the village scattered around it. The people are fairly independent and the Emerald Village does not often trade with the other settlements of the mainland with the exception of Sapphire Landing for sea fish. The Emerald Wood itself is dense and dark on its eastern edges and travelers are warned to stay on the path or risk being lost in the trees. There is still some evil lurking in the travels despite the Neomancers departure. Sapphire Landing: Sapphire Landing is the settlement dedicated to The God Water. Mortals and Elves make up the majority of this village, though a few residents of other races can be found. It is fairly isolated being so far north and the only road leading to it is through the Emerald wood, though some travelers prefer to cross the plains or taking a boat from Tilanta to reach it. It borders to the Sapphire Sea and most of its residents make their living by fishing or boat craft. Yet a perk to its being so far north is that its farthest away from the Neomancer’s Domain and is also separated from it by the Emerald Wood. Thus it is one of the more peaceful of the settlements.Tilanta: Tilanta was a haven for those that were forced to flee The Sacred Island since it is the closest port and it adjoins the Sacred Bay. It is now a busy fishing town and trades often with Crossroads, Carsia and Ruby Peaks. Some people from this village worship the Elements, though the majority dedicate their lives to one or more of the Atalantea.Diamond Town: Diamond Town is the settlement dedicated to The God Air. It is a town of mixed races, though not many still live there. Diamond Town is closest to the Neomancer’s Domain. As such it is often raided by Orcs and Ogres that steal their live stock or burn their crop. The town now consists mainly of warriors that sent their families to Crossroads or through the mountains to Ruby Peaks. Thus the town has shrunk considerably and large portions of it are abandoned. The town lies in the middle of a vast plain that often suffers driving winds. The village also lies near long lake, which is its main source of water and fish. Like the Emerald Village Diamond Town is very independent since it is so distant from the other settlements and trading is difficult. Yet despite its distance Diamond town shares a close kinship with the Emerald Village since both have suffered through being a front against the Neomancer. Crossroads: Since Crossroads lies at, well, a crossroad, it is the most multicultural of all the settlements. People from all races and beliefs more to Crossroads seeking an easy fortune via the trading routes. It is a bustling town full of both the wealthy merchants and their families, the refugees exiled from their own lands and the peasants looking to keep their families fed. The plains all around Crossroads are different from the Diamond Flats since they are riddled with farms. It is a town full of both the cultural priests and priestess’ and the thieves and gamblers. One traveling through Crossroads must be on their guard or they may be swindled out of their belongings.Carsia: Carsia was once a proud and strong village before Dark came to the mainland in the guise of the Neomancer. The village slowly suffered as he took control of the eastern corner of the Emerald Wood, but not until his flight did it truly perish. The Neomancer destroyed the village of Carsia in his haste to get away from the renewed power of the Emerald Elves and their cursed princess. Since they Carsia has been very slowly rebuilding, but with Crossroads nearby many families just moves instead of trying to re-stake their homes. Carsia is now an empty shell of a town with very few people still living in it.Ruby Peaks: Ruby Peaks is the settlement dedicated to the Goddess Fire. The settlement itself lays near the base of the mainland’s only volcano, simply named by the villagers The Mountain Of Fire. The village also lays right beside a glacial lake, that separates their settlement from the sometimes dangerous fires of the volcano. The city relies mostly on trading with Crossroads, they give their gems that they mine from the mountains in exchange for agricultural goods. It is a bit of a rough village but safely guarded from the orcs and ogres that sometimes wander down from the mountains. The Forsaken Lands/Neomancers Domain: The forsaken lands are those south of the Ruby mountains and also those that border on the Sea of Storms. Over time the constant raging of that cursed sea and then the corruption of the Neomancer made these lands unihabitble by all bu the most wretched of creatures. Nothing grows there and the rivers are polluted with sulphur from the mountains. Any who dare cross the Sea of Storms and happen to wash up in the Elemental Lands must first wander through these lands before finding any hope of friendship or food.

The Chosen Four
The chosen four are those that are bestowed with the powers of one of the four main Elements. When the Elements first created The Sacred Island each chose a family who would carry the gift of their power through their line. I.e.: The Goddess Earth Chose the Driandene line. Diandriel’s mother was Drianeil Driandene and even though Diandriel took the last name of her father, Loriand, she still carries the line. Thus for your character to be one of the chosen you must have a back story that includes your character (if they are of an immortal race) or your characters ancestors coming from The Sacred Island. You also must consider differences in races. A Character such as Diandriel, who is 3071 years old at the time of roleplay, would defiantly have a greater control over her power then a 20 year old human. Let’s try and keep a very small touch of realism here. Also to give you some idea of a timeline, the Sacred Island was attacked when Diandriel was approximately 100 years, which would make her appear 10 in human years (this doesn’t follow any pattern, I just give random approximations, the older they get the slower they seem to age). The Neomancer then dwelt in the Emerald Wood until Diandriel was about 2300 (since she didn’t immediately live in the Emerald Wood, her mother and herself traveled a bit before settling there) which leaves about 700 years when the Neomancer lived in his new domain before this rp begins. Please use this to age your character accordingly and if you need any help by all means pm me, I know I do things kinda weird. Anywho, back to the chosen! If you meet these criteria and manage to develop or alter or already have a character that you think suitable pm me and ask, as well as send me a copy of the profile. I will then look through it, let you know if anything may need changing and then either accept you or decline you. Once a position of chosen one is filled no one else can apply for it. You can still have a character that is dedicated to that Element and that perhaps has some minor powers connected to it (ie my character Tim has some minor flame control but nothing near the power that the Chosen of Fire would have). Please check the profile page for a list of the chosen before applying for a position. If you have any other questions please post them in the OOC or pm me and I will answer them as soon as possible.

The profile FormQuote: Username:Character Name:Character age: (if they are elvish post how old they appear) Race: (pretty self explanitory) Physical Description: (if possible please include a reference pic. If you don't have a reference pic of your exact character I shall recommend Neko's shop in the lounge 3nodding please post the pics as links to avoid page stretching) Personality: (a brief summary of what they are like, and as such, if you create a shy character do not suddenly make them outgoing partway through the rp) Back Story: (This is important. I need you to somehow fit your character into the lands. They can come from one of the villages I will have on my map (comping soon) or from the mountains or perhaps even from across the sea of storms. SO long as you make it work well and put some thought into it it should be fine. This is where I will most likely pm you with suggestions to change it as well. Also include whether your character is on the side of good or evil) Weapons of Choice:(please do not make your character amasing with all weapons. Give them one they are masters with and perhaps one they arn't as good with. This is also where you would post any powers or magic they may weild. Once again be careful to avoid godmodding. If you wish them to be one of the chosen pm me your profile and ask me first and I shall then let you know) Familars:(does your character have any close companions that are not of the human nature. Post them here and let us know a little about them) [b]Username:[/b]

This will be where I post the user names and characters of every profile I accept. If your name and character is on thie list your home free to start posting in the roleplays 3nodding
If your name is crossed out that means you were inactive for an extended period of time and I was not informed of a reason. For the sake of the rp moving smoothly crossed out characters are now ignored and any character interacting with them may move away to an active character. If a chosen is crossed off you are free to apply to be a chosen. You may get your name un crossed off by pming me and letting me know why you were gone and that you are still interested in the roleplay. If you are crossed off for more then a month you will be re-moved from the list and will have to apply again to be re-added.

((Are you going to update the Character List? >.< )) Tenar had the tip of his big toe licking the surface of the Sacred Bay. Rings were sent out from the point of impact, then collided with the long wooden pillar jetting down into the depths of the unknown. He was in Tilanta, following his deity's orders. "Why can't this be simple!" Tenar called in his head, "I just want to be done with it. UGH!"
Someone was coming and he didn't want to bother with them. Up he went, finally standing at his full height, which really wasn't that tall. Large for a water spirit, but not for a human male.
"Hey, th're is that 'ittle f*cker!" yelled the man in front of him.
"Wh-What are you talking about sir, I haven't done anything," Tenar pleaded, but hidden under those sly words was the truth. Earlier that day he had "accidently" found food in his hands, which by some amazing accident fell into his mouth.
"Oh! You know exactly what you did! You're coming with me!" the bloke yelled. He was rather large, and his voice was stalwart. The hand shot toward him like a boar, its mouth clenching down on Tenar's small arm. It was rather ruff and callus, and Tenar winced.
"Sir, there is no need for this brutality," Tenar was talking quietly. He was scared and wanted to run, but he felt frozen like a statue, "l-let g..go please."
"Not till ya peh," he pulled Tenar and that is when he lost it. A wave rushed up and slammed the man down like an anchor, pulling Tenar with him. Quickly Tenar raced up, fumbling and slippy on the deck, but moving as fast and far as his feet would taken. Tears were in his eyes because he was scared. There was a man on the deck bleeding from the skull and he had done it. He was almost to the gate when two gaurds seized him and everything went black. When next he woke, everything was black and Tenar was in a cell.

Hello! I'm new here and I would like to take part in this rp. I'm rather new to it but, I am better than my friends. So I can't practice with anybody. My style can be confussed with what you call godmodding but, I allways make my characters with scientificly acuate weaknesses. If you feel I'm not right for this region RP I understand compleatly. Could you tell me what I should do to get started. I feel like this is the wrong place to post this so I apologize.

Next, you should have sent this in a PM to her. If you read EVERYTHING it really isn't that hard. I can tell you are a novice (beginner) in the RP sense. Why don't you check out the beginners sub-forum in this guild. mrgreen ))
