Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome to Alvirad, a medieval fantasy/war RP set on the continent of the same name. On the continent of Alvirad—a vast mass of land taking up most of Aundair’s western hemisphere—the humans of the four Kingdoms of Alvirad, once allied by treaty and tradition, now are vying for power and dominance of the continent. Alvirad is a land where even the forces of Heaven and Hell vie for supremacy. Now, as dark forces grow over Alvirad, war seems imminent between the four kingdoms. Can it be stopped, or will Alvirad soon be engulfed in the tides of war?

Regalport—The largest port in the country of Lhazaar, Regalport is the headquarters of the Merchant Marine and home to numerous fleets, bars and general entertainment. Possessing a large underground entertainment and gambling district, Regalport attracts people from all over Alvirad. Pirates and the Thieves Guild maintain a heavy presence in the city, and as a result there is a lot of crime.

The Citadel—The great officers academy of Galifar, the Citadel is a military stronghold where the warrior code is law. A fine old complex with a great deal of history to it, the Citadel attracts numerous military leaders each year. Held annually at The Citadel is the Challenge of Kell, an international event which pits the finest warriors from each nation against each other in a contest of wits and strength.

Soulkeep—The religious center of The Holy Empire, Soulkeep sees numerous travelers each year, headed toward the grand Cathedral of Glass, the grandest and most prestigious church in the Empire, and the location of the Speaker of Solem. All members of the Order of the Twin Blades have their initiation ceremony there, during which they are branded with the symbol of Solem.

The Dark Spire—The headquarters of the Archsages of Vidal, the Spire is where all of the research for the advancement of Black Magick takes place. From this place, all dark mages of Vidal receive their orders from the Regent Protector, the Lady Alexandra Nightson. And here, some of the foulest experiments known to mankind are conducted in hopes of purifying the mage bloodlines.

The Golden Court of Sacea—The former capital of Aidenn Kell’s kingdom, the Golden Court is still the lynchpin of peace in Alvirad. Kept guarded by a special detachment of Vidalans, Galifarans, Lhazaarians, and citizens of the Empire, the Golden Court is where the four nations meet every three years to renew and amend the Treaty of Kell. The destruction of this building could easily send the four nations to war once more.
