The Children of Dawn

High Fantasy | Adventure | Quest

Update: Found all our players; Thanks to everyone who came!

Hi there! I’m looking for 4-5 players who enjoy writing novella style responses (several paragraphs) and exploring lore heavy worlds. I MIGHT be willing to add one more player if an additional person wants to join and has no issue creating a new virtue that would fit this setting. That being said, I don't think we should go over six players in total. Each player will play one main character and any minor characters or NPCs they feel comfortable doing. You don't have to play any other characters beside your main one if you don't want to! I've already up a base world building, but I definitely left it open for everyone to add to the world as they wish!

Slots Open:
✦ Kindness || hannsthemanns (female | child | wood elf | healer)
✦ Valiance || Fred (female | adult | human | knight)
✦ Freedom ||Tlon (male | adult | human | merchant)
✦ Hope || Kittenpom (male | adult | dark elf | sorcerer)
✦ Wisdom || Larry (male | adult | human | writer)
✦ Creativity || Hanarei (TBA)

Premise: The Call to Adventure

In the first dawn of a new world, before mankind was vast across the earth, the mortal races co-existed upon a small landmass known as Ardunia. A beautiful oasis, its first ancestors were blessed by the Crimson Mother, a goddess mankind called Enya. And for generations, the flourishing valley proved protection and nourishment for the people who resided there, watched over by the goddess and her faithful earth spirits.

Yet as time passed, the whims of man overwhelmed their desire to do good. Selfish princes became ruthless kings who oppressed their people. Monks lined their pockets with bribes to lay false blessings upon sinners. Soon, slave markets lined the streets in place of fruit stalls and narcotics flooded underground dens to claim the lives of many. The promised land that was Ardunia had become little more than a den of thieves and murderers. Prayers to the goddess grew less and less. Enya looked upon the valley and seeing what had become of her children, she wept, regretting what she had made for those who no longer followed her. In anger, she planned for a way to wipe them from her sight completely.

But a spirit named Cyphos, a vineyard spirit of mirth, wagers and mischief, stumbled upon five persons whom not even he could justify tampering with - while their mortal natures left them flawed and imperfect, Cyphos found much light within their hearts.

The spirit relayed what he had found to his mistress, naming the persons the five lights and explaining the purity of their hearts. But Enya would not listen. For she believed that humanity by nature is tainted and that any soul regardless of their initial purity would eventually be corrupted. When Cyphos saw she would not spare humanity in its entirty, he offered his goddess a wager - a prospect of a new Dawn. if these five souls could show her the beauty of humanity, then she would spare them and any they saw worthy to live. If they could not, then they would perish with the rest of humanity. Enya, taking favor within her servant, agreed and gave him one year.

As is his nature, Cyphos began his quest with a trick - luring his mistress into a peaceful slumber, he searched through her ancient mind to find memories she still held dear. Stealing five of these memories, Cyphos lay magic upon them and carried them to the mortal world below. Through further mischief, he lured the five lights together and placed each memory upon each soul in the form of a gift:

To one, a silver star that shines even in the darkest nights.

To one, a golden flower that gives healing through sacrifice.

To one, a bestial strength that is untamed and wild in unbridled glory.

To one, a flame that burned at the sight of cruelty and injustice.

To one, a foresight that is heightened by humbleness and cautious pursuits.

The five lights were to use these gifts to pave the path to the new dawn, to a land above the valley and high over the clouds that Cyphos called the Everdawn - a place untainted by wickedness, made for them and any they believed were worth saving. For one year, they have the task of proving the truth worth of humanity.

Rules: Guidelines and General Housekeeping

Be nice to each other! | | Be respectful to everyone here. Joking around is fine, but if someone is clearly uncomfortable then it’s time to lay off. Basically, don’t be racist, sexist, or an all around unpleasant person.

Honor the Lore We All Decide On | | Everyone’s voice is valued here and it should be a group collaboration on building this world! This isn’t super strict, as the main goal is to have fun here. But whatever lore we all decide on should be honored as much as possible. For example if we decide on a specific system of magic, please try to honor that system. But if you accidentally mess up, no stress!

Please Place Effort Into Your Responses | | Some days may be shorter than others and that’s totally ok - but there should still be an effort made. So to set some sort of grounds work at the very least, let’s have a a five sentence minimum (one full paragraph). Quantity over quality - people will know if you aren’t putting effort in! I generally write anywhere from 1 to 6 paragraphs.

No God-modding or OP characters | | With the exception to deity or monster NPCs (who can be played by anyone at anytime in tasteful moderation), keep elements of your character’s traits and abilities within reason. You can make your character powerful and interesting, but don’t make them unbeatable.

Ask other players before you harm, capture or kill their characters | | Major or minor character, always ask their creator what you had in mind and if it would be alright to do so. Generic NPCs may be an exception to this. This isn’t a largely combat centered role-play, but there will be times where it could happen! Just please be respectful of other’s characters.

Worldbuilding: The lore so far

Behold: The products of my thought process for this world. This can definitely be changed up as we need to, I just thought we could use a base to begin with! Here's some quick themes to remember about this world space:

✦ The world is under threat of destruction because the goddess Enya is disturbed by its growing degradation. Thus, the environment should reflect that through our heroes outstanding virtues as they juxtapose with the rest of the world's wickedness.
✦ The general atmosphere doesn't have to be "Dark Souls" or "Game of Thrones" levels of depravity, but there should at least be a constant, oppressive reminder to our main characters how dark the world can be and what is at risk if they fail.
✦ Each virtue has their own strengths and weaknesses. By the end of the story, they are able to grow in their own strength through learning important lessons from each other. A fellowship feel should hopefully grow over the course of time.

Races: The Four Great Peoples of Ardunia
✦ Humans - The most diverse and adaptable race of the Great Races. They have proven themselves to be resilient, with human populations found in almost ever corner of Ardunia in every shape and size. The largest population can be found in central Ardunia, with Noria holding up as the human capital of the continent.

✦ Elves - The oldest race in Ardunia. Elves are the only race that possesses natural magic.
‣ Dark Elves - southern natives most known of their ebony skin and ivory hair. Like the High Elves, they've established arcana colleges in the south and believe in the balance of light and dark magic.
‣ Snow Elves - pale white in both skin and hair, most accustomed to the colder northern islands. Almost as small as their woodland cousins.
‣ High Elves - golden skin and hair, tallest of the elven races; native to the eastern coasts. Places high values in knowledge and nature, with arcana colleges.
‣ Wood Elves - chestnut skin with auburn or brunette hair, smallest of the elven races. They mostly inhabit the western & central woodlands. They are most known for their uses in natural medicine.

✦ Orcs - The most physically strong of the races. A people almost as old as the Elves, the Orcs often engaged in tremulous relationships with their neighbors.
‣ Gorgons - muscular builds with emerald, soft blue or soft gray skin tones; ebony hair with medium length tusks. Warrior people native to northern Ardunia.
‣ Ogres - largest of the orcs; bulky and strong, dark green or ebony in skintone. Large tusks. Nomadic people, largely wandering between the mountain ranges.
‣ Goblins - smallest orc ethnicity, thin and wirey bodies with emerald, hazel or violet skin tones. Little to no tusks visible. Native to the west, though have migrated all over Ardunia.

✦ Beastfolk - The race most intuned to the earth. However, they are known to be elusive and skittish of their neighbors. They're native to many wilderness regions such as mountains, lakes and forests.
‣ Wolfmen - most common; come in a variety of colors, such as white, gray, sable, fawn, black, brindle, gold and red. They're most native to woodland, plains, mountains and tundra areas; Generally hostile to outsiders.
‣ Foxfolk - smallest and perhaps the most friendly to non-beast folk. The red folkfox resemble red foxes and are native to the central and western woodlands. The northern foxfolk resemble white foxes, smaller than their red cousins. The eastern foxfolk resemble fennecs and are the smallest, with large ears and small snouts - their fur is cream or tan.
‣ Lynxkin - Agile and slender, they make excellent scouts and rogues. They're most elusive of the beastfolk, native to temperate woodlands and riverlands. Their coat colors range from brown, amber, grey and white.
‣ Scalesmen - tallest and most diverse of the beastfolk; they share facial resemblances to dragons, though do not possess wings or fire breathing abilities. They come in a variety of colors from earthy tones to more vibrant displays. Native to marshlands, riverlands or mountainous regions.

Countries: The Realms & Their Demographics
Click on the map for a larger view!

The Northern Realm: The birthplace of the snow elves, the Northern Realm takes up all of the frigid north of Ardunia - its considered a rugged and harsh place by most races, consisting of of snow-capped mountains in the south and windy plains abundant. After a bloody war between the Crown (the Snow Elves and their Human allies) vs the Wildergods (the Gorgons and their Wolfmen allies), the long line of Elven kings were finally deposed by Gorgon warlords and an Orc queen sits the throne.The warlords have again began their conquest in the east, starting with the High Elves.

Magic: The Arcane Arts & Other Strange Artifacts
Arana is the primary element of magic used by spellcasters of Ardunia. This can be divided into three different methods.

Natural: Natural Magic is magic that is innately found only within those of Elven blood. Their body and soul serves as a conductor for a limited, replenishable pool of magic energy; while they can cast a spectrum of different spells with their natural arcana, they are best suited for combining it with other means of wielding the magic—both due to its intensified strength, and because depleting their stores will drain their lifeforce. Magic exhaustion is a severe condition that occurs when too much is cast too soon and will result in adverse side effects that may range from a minor annoyance to lethal. Certain bloodlines of mortal races, as well as half-bloods, have been found to carry recessive stores of arcane that can be triggered through certain stimuli. Some individuals are blessed by stronger pools than that of their peers and are seen as being destined for great things—on the opposite end, one can be born without any arcana at all. They are called the withered and face brutal scrutiny from their societies.

Channeled: Channeled Magic is magic that can be harnessed through invented instruments. Advanced methods have been invented within the past two centuries where before the less magically inclined mortal races of Isakar could not wield arcana due to a lack of such a gift. They may now utilize specially crafted tools that allow them to do so. Some of these instruments include: metal wands, enchanted staves carved from specific woods, gemshard necklaces, and various other trinkets and baubles. With decades of study, a human sorcerer may be able to match the skill of an elven wizard. However both are restricted to the limits of their environment and body and will suffer the same injuries if they overreach their boundaries. This is less common in channeled magic performed by the lesser races, as they often lack the backup magic necessary for overloading a spell. The amount of arcana available for usage varies wildly on location.

God-Given: The most devoted to the pantheon of Ardunia’s gods and goddesses are blessed with their power, and are considered to be some of the strongest spellcasters known to mankind. Volatile, terrifying, and ultimately unstable, their magic cannot be consistently relied upon. Where one day a champion might be in the shining favor of their deity, they can be shunned the next and find themselves unable to cast even a single spell. Their strength wanes and grows with that of their chosen god. Very few spellcasters in history have been of this type. Powerful but deadly, magic has its limits and overuse can kill.

Magic Exhaustion: A renowned debilitation, exhaustion can befall any caster, no matter how weak or strong they are. Responsibility with spells must be practiced, lest tragedy strike when the energy of life is used in place of depleted reserves. The following symptoms can be observed in a victim suffering from magic exhaustion: Migraines, Lethargy, Malaise, Nausea, Amnesia, Paralysis, Coma, Death

Through practice and determination, the typical arcane element can be transmuted into one of the four natural elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, as well as their different subcategories. Mages who use this type of magic are referred to as elementalists, and are typically highly skilled casters that sought to specialize further in their preferred spells. Certain magic is best suited for these elemental groups, such as destruction with fire and healing with earth or water; these conjurations are intensified by their environment, and attempting to cast one in an unsuitable location is likely to fail. A water spell will not work in an area that is dry and barren, and a fire spell is prone to error in a frigid, wet domain.

Hidden from the populace and viewed as barbaric taboo, the arts of necromancy and blood magic have been lost to the world, save for a select few.

I could be interested in this but I have to ask - what is the point of having so many races? Seems like there should be more human subgroups, since the humans are the most populous race. Also no offense but I feel like Elves and Orcs are sort of over played, I feel like if you cut them out and just kept the Beastfolk the setting would feel fresher. You could even just keep three of the Beastfolk to keep with the 4 races theme.

Hi there! No offense taken. But these are just some of the races that I like! Besides, I would imagine a large continent would have lots of races too. Just because there are orcs and elves, doesn’t mean the have to follow the same tropes as more popular mediums (say lord of the rings). They can be however we like them to be, It’s all matter of taste!

That's true, but I would say even variations on orcs and elves are kind of overdone. Better in my mind to elaborate more on Foxfolk and flesh them out as an idea than try and rework the old tropes. You could say Foxfolk only live 30 years but only need three hours of sleep a day, or that they live long isolated lives that also make them prone to dementia or etc. Just throwing some ideas out - I like the set up of the premise.

That’s an interesting idea. I think I will keep the elves and orcs, as not every player will want to play a beastfolk character. That’s also another reason there are many races here, a lot of people are most familiar with them. To give me options. As a staple of fantasy; but that’s just my opinion.

if you are still interested, feel free to share what character and virtue most interested you.

 

[Tlon]

I'd be interested in the Freedom virtue though I don't really have anything concrete right now

 

[Kittenpom20]

Quick question: So I would be interested in the virtue that grants flame, is that the Hope virtue? Don't want to make assumptions and end up being wrong, ha.

 

[Larry]

Hello there, I must say that what you've put here is absolutely excellent! Whether it's the inklings I'm getting of Skyrim as regards to the elves or the whole Noah, incoming-deluge feeling, it looks great.

I was wondering could I possibly put an application in for Valiance, though since it's quite late here, I'm not in much of a position to get a proper character profile up, though I will tomorrow if that's okay with you?

If ya can't, I completely understand though I'll be hoping all the slots aren't taken by then!

 

[Isolus]

Hi! Valiance is the fire, Hope is the ball of light! Valiance’s flame rises when they see injustice while Hope’s light never perished. Hopefully that clears some things up.

Hi Larry! Thanks for stopping by, Valiance is still open! You can definitely post your profile tomorrow if that’s easier for you ^^

 

[Larry]

Thank you very much!

I think the idea that you have about the virtues tempering each other is excellent, given that justice, without kindness for example, can make for a very stark beast altogether! So I'll definitely do that character profile for ya tomorrow; I might edit it into one of these posts to spare ya the spam.

Yes, exactly! And vice versa, Valiance giving Kindness the strength to be brave and do the right thing even though it’s scary. It’ll be really interesting to see how those two will react! I can’t wait to see the idea you had; you can make a new post if that’s easier for you ^^

 

[Larry]

Whatever's the easiest for you my friend! Though I think I have a name in mind already; I think my character will be called Senán Árdfeld, a human, either 19/20 with a picture I'll have up tomorrow!

Also, I was wondering about Arana exhaustion, was that loosely based off the way chakra exhaustion works in Naruto or was it a coincidence?

 

[Tlon]

How is this for a character? Let me know if there's anything I should change:

✦ Osorio | Age (24) | Male | Merchant/Jack-of-all-Trades
‣ Virtue: Freedom
‣ Race: Human
‣ Description: A raven haired merchant selling minor trinkets and baubles. Although Osorio keeps the more interesting or powerful pieces for himself this still nets him little. He is a small merchant and doesn't get the opportunity to trade in any serious channeled arcana. His most powerful personal piece to date is a black ring that changes color depending on if the drink in his hand is poison or safe to drink. From modest means neither Osorio nor his family had ever had the money to send him for proper magical schooling, but Osorio continues on studying all the channeled arcana that comes his way, testing each of them to see what he can learn. Helping him along in his enterprise are two companions - a brown Scalesman from the south who goes by Stonejaw and a red Foxfolk from the west named Anlaith. Osorio appraises the arcana, Stonejaw does the heavy lifting, Anlaith minds the numbers and lists, and in this fashion they traverse Ardunia, bound to no one country.

 

[Kittenpom20]

Here’s mine as well! Correct me if I’m wrong, but elves tend to have crazy long lifespans so I didn’t want to make him too young.

✦ Elidyr Firahel | 132 (adult) | Male (he/him) | Sorcerer
‣ Virtue: Hope
‣ Race: Dark Elf
‣ Description: Elidyr is taller than most and has a slim build with high cheekbones and a pointed chin. Being a dark elf, he has darker skin and stark white hair, which he keeps somewhat long, and it tends to get messy left to its own devices. Similarly, his eyes are a pale blue. He normally dresses in dark robes and boots of varying shades. A deep, thin scar stretches from his chin to his right shoulder.

Sounds good! In that case, perhaps you should go ahead and post a new comment then so I can see it - I can't wait to see what you have for Senán!

And honestly, a friend helped me with this magic system! I've never watched much Naruto, so maybe he took some inspiration from that haha XD (I've never been that great at magic systems oop-)

 

[Fred Colon]

Hello! I'm interested in participating, in part because it seems like a very interesting concept! But also because you were very polite with the person who disagreed with you and seem like someone i'd like to RP with! Haven't seen too many people on here take criticism of their world so kindly. The last moderator I saw who had someone make a suggestion told the suggestor to F off. (though I like elves and orcs too, so I agree with you!)

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by, we would love to have you! Honestly, everyone is welcome to their preferences/opinion and I think its good to take advice from others (even if you choose not take it, at least you heard their side and could use it later). The most important thing here is that everyone has fun so as long as that happens, I'm happy ^^

Btw, what character did you have in mind for this? Or are you still thinking on what you'd want!

 

[Fred Colon]

I'm interested in Valiance. I've got a character I think would work well! I'm going to write up the base description of the character in a moment.

 

[Fred Colon]

✦ Marina Campbell | 37 (Adult)| Female (She/Her) | Knight
‣ Virtue: Valiance
‣ Race: Human
‣ Description: Marina has blond hair shaved close to her head, a round face and dark brown eyes. Her shoulders are broad, and she stands a little taller than the average human man. She tends to wear her armor when weather and circumstance allow, a carefully polished, but old set of silver plate mail. When she cant she stands in plain,dark, well used leather breeches and the white silk shirt she wears to lessen arrow impacts. Her lip and left cheek are split by an ugly ragged scar, and part of one of her ears is missing. Smaller scars crisscross her body.

Oop, I'm sorry! I'm on mobile right now so I haven't had a chance to update the character roster just yet - but I think Larry already claimed Valiance ^^;
We could use a Wisdom character or if none of that suits you, you could make an additional virtue: Virtues List - Virtues For Life
Or Larry, if you want to, you and Fred can decide between the both of you!

 

[Fred Colon]

Ah, Ok! My bad! I'm particularly interested in Valiance, but Larry was here first! So I can move to Wisdom. I'm sure I'll come up with something that feels as compelling to me!

Actually would you mind if I tried for Honor? I don't want to mess anything up, though. So if it's easier on you I'll just go Wisdom.

Edited: Maybe integrity would be good? Actually Integrity would make more sense. If that's alright.

Actually would you mind if I tried for Honor? The character I have in mind would fit that better than Valiance, I think. I don't want to mess anything up, though. So if it's easier on you I'll just go Wisdom.

For sure, I'd be down for that! I think Larry might be off for the day, but we can check with them to see how they feel about Valiance. I think they have a character already in mind, but we can work it out ^^

Sounds good! I'll be playing that same Character, though. Marina. So I'll edit the post when it's finally decided.
