The continent of Embra has, historically, been a peaceful place. With varied geography, it naturally split into three main kingdoms at the dawn of its creation, and since then trade and relations between the three have been solid. That is, until a decade ago, when a fishing boat from the coastal country of Devlan was caught in a storm, and ended up happening upon a large island that, previously, none had known to exist. Hidden from the coast by magic, the island seemed to have a thriving population and culture, however when the fishing boat tried to approach, it was harshly turned away. Returning to Devlan, the fishing boat’s crew reported what they had seen to their local lord, who in turn reported to the king. The king, a man who prided himself on his honesty, told of the mysterious place - clearly rich in both natural and magical resources - to the other two kingdoms.
Now, at this point in time, while relations between the three kingdoms were still good, each of the three were having troubles of their own. Devlan’s waters had been overfished, and they were running out of resources to expand their industry. The mountainous Kur region, once known for their many exports of fine ore and jewelry products, was running out of useable ore in their mines, leaving them without exports, and thus in a financial crisis. The inland kingdom of Fier, with the strongest military power of the three and the most resources, meanwhile has been dealing with civil unrest, due to many believing that their king and his harsh taxes were unfair.
The appearance of the island represented a solution to all three problems: if its resources could be tapped, all three kingdoms would have more than enough bounty to sustain them, and all thoughts of rebellion would be otherwise ceased, or so it was believed. However the island was well protected, both magically and by brute force, and all attempts to breach its perimeter failed. Any time a king or lord tried to reach out to the island’s people, they were ignored, and the state in the three kingdoms deteriorated until, ten years after first contact, at the annual summit between the three kingdoms, a messenger hawk arrived with a letter stating that, for the first time, the island of Domina would be attending their meeting.
Nobody knows what to expect, but all three kingdoms are in an uproar over the news.

This will be a medieval fantasy rp, which means magic and fantasy races are allowed, just keep it within reason. I’ll be playing the representatives from Domina island, so all three other kingdoms are open for representatives to the summit. It could be royalty, knights, adventurers and ordinary people who have come to voice their worries, whatever you want to play. Your characters don’t even necessarily NEED to be from the continent of Embra, but foreign characters should have a reason for being there.
In terms of rules I would prefer this to be a literate role play, with people able to reply at least once a week. Preferably replies would be daily or so, but I understand not everyone can do that. I’d prefer no more than five or six players, because otherwise it gets quite hectic. This is my first time actually trying to start a rp here instead of continuing from offsite so I’m a bit nervous, haha. But since I finally have the time and energy to reply more frequently I hope this can get off the ground!
