In the land of Moru'ryo, there was a large war. It began when a man named Rolénor discovered a power that was not taught by the elves, was hidden from the humans, and all but forgotten by the dwarves. It was the power to completely annihilate entire villages at a time. It required a great deal of strength and sacrifices, and the exact details of how he managed it are still unknown. Some say it was a crystal in a staff he always carried on his person. Others say it was the staff itself. Regardless of where the power came from, when he learned to control it, he began his plot to control the land. He went to the leaders of every country, and said to them; "If you do not bow to my will, I will destroy you." Of course, the first leader he threatened with this refused. It was the leader of the country Imbaloq, inhabited by mostly humans. When he refused, Rolénor merely walked away. Three days later, the capitol city of Imbaloq was invaded by a number of foul creatures. It seemed Rolénor had made allies with the foul creatures that inhabited the mountains to the north. Not expecting this, the city fell easily to the enemies it hadn't encountered for a number of years. When this happened twice more, and still the leader refused to give in, the city disappeared one night in a large curtain of smoke. The buildings crumbled, people dropped to the ground dead on the spot, and not one creature remained living. Rolénor continued his lust for power, and threatened other nations, and gained control over a fair amount of the world. But then, the remaining leaders grouped together. The king of the largest elven nation brought forth to the other nations' leaders an ancient book. They discovered a spell that would seal Rolénor and his evils for eternity by use of ancient pendants, one for each element: earth, air, fire, water, thunder. They brought together their armies, and after several weeks of battle, drove Rolénor north to the mountains. It was a large battle. It took place over many days, and it seemed on the fourth day that Rolénor would win. But then the two kings of the elves that remained alive, Maegleon and Caerdur, and a king of humans, Halbner, and finally the remaining living king of dwarves, Rothgar, all began fighting Rolénor himself. They drove him and his beasts far enough into the mountains, and each stopped fighting simultaneously. As Rolénor began chanting the spell that he'd used to destroy cities, they began chanting a spell of their own. It was successful, and the evils that had reigned through the world were sealed to the mountains, and something that has been lost to history happened that resulted in Rolénor's supposed death. Yet since the people they'd entrusted with the other elemental pendants had died, they did not have use of every element. Therefore, it turned their bodies to stone, leaving only the pendants, which dropped to the ground and since have been lost to history. The spell would wear off in two thousand years' time. Nearly two thousand years later is where our story begins. The history of the world has been passed down, yet is now only a bedtime story for children in everyone's eyes. The nations had been rebuilt. The land itself is divided into seven countries: The forests of Aenur and Etlanea, belonging to the elves. The nations of Galin, Jurnin, and Hrotha, belonging to the humans. The vast underground cities of Kanor and Trosté, belonging to the dwarves. As it begins, there have been rumors of foul creatures (orcs, goblins, what have you) raiding small villages towards the north; something that has not happened in a very long time. The elves, who are the only ones remaining who have an accurate knowledge of what happened, don't know that the spell didn't work properly. Basically, I'm going to be starting it out that my character's village has been burned/raided/whatever while she was out somewhere else. I will draw a map at some point if enough people get interested, and I'll be happy to answer any questions. A little info: This isn't first-person, so I don't want any posts that have "I go this way"-ish stuff in it. Also, posts that are "*goes over to the house*"-ish will be ignored. Para and multi, people. Para means paragraphs, so third-person, paragraph format. I'll post first after people seem interested so you get the style I'm talking about. No godmodding. That means no controlling other peoples' characters without permission from that person. Also, keep it true to the rp. Everyone can use limited magic, which means simple simple simple very simple stuff. For instance, if it's too dark to see, something like making a small ball of light hover above your hand. Use your imagination. But no killing an entire mob of orcs with a spell. -.- Generic info: Races in this RP are elves, dwarves, humans, and half-breed of any of the three. You may be some sort of evil creature if you wish, but understand that we might kill you.  Please include info on your character here. Basically name, age, race, gender, and a bit of history. I'll be posting mine once I'm more awake and see people interested. We need to have a descendant or two of the kings that sealed up the evil thingies, this is crucial to the plot, I'll explain more later.I probably left out a ton of information. I'm kind of tired and cold at the moment so my mind isn't working well. Please ask questions if you don't understand. I won't start the RP until I see questions and people that are interested. |

...An enemy that is pure evil? Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different standpoints, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just 2 sides holding different views. ~Squall Leonhart | |

Cool, I'm glad an idea I created while freezing and sleepy is decent. ^.^ Hopefully we can get more people interested before starting. People joining halfway or more into an RP wouldnt' be good... |

I'm considering joining it'll be a challenge for me since i'm not used to this style of RP. But i'm willing to learn if you're willing to teach me Rinoa.

It would be better if your character was a bit older than 12. I'd like for most of the characters in this RP to be young-adult/adult. If you're really set on being 12 though, I don't mind. For history...Make a background. This is your character. History, family, friends, locations they've lived throughout their life, personality, hobbies...Everything you think might be important. Sorry to everyone for kind of forgetting about this for a while. I'll get on the first post right away. And by the way, I'm willing to draw up a map for anyone who needs one, just understand it'll be a badly-done paint-made map, and my drawing skills aren't the best, even on a computer...But you'll get a general idea of where places are. I'll even throw in a couple landmarks. And again, I wish to impress upon you the importance of third-person and not godmodding at all... Oh...and if anyone's interested, this is based off of a scrapped idea that I was going to start a novel off of, and somewhat related to the one I'm working on. I figured it'd be of better use in a role-play. |

ok I changes the age of my character to 17 and the history, also my characters name has changed to Faolan and the history is: Faolan was born in one of the elven cities (though he doesn't know which one) though was moved to Gatlin on his first birthday. He grew up with a blacksmith who wouldn't tell him who his two parents were, though the blacksmith taught him how to use a sword to a certain degree. Over the years Faolan grew stronger until one day he came home to find the blacksmith slumped against the wall, dead. |

Cool. Yeah..I think I went a bit overboard with the part of history of my character...>.< If it's annoying anyone or anything like that I'll delete that part of my post...I was just in a really writing-y mood and that's what happens... |
