Void Rift Report!

Nymians

Settlement: The Nymians inhabit the Forest of Nyme, the large forest in the west of the Darklands. At the start of the world, the Nymians settled deep inside the forest as they loved nature and its many wonders. They used to live in small huts which surrounded a carved out hole in the ground. The trees would either stop the rain from getting to the hut in the first place or soak up the water to stop the huts from becoming large pools of muddy water. However, once civilisation grew more, as well as the trees themselves, they began to build houses near to the bottom of trees. They liked space and spread houses out across the area of the forest they lived in. As the trees grew, so did the population. More trees were built higher up. But eventually, the population grew larger. The Nymians then created bridges connecting houses at the higher levels of the trees. More houses were built between the older ones. Other Nymians started exploring the forest more and made huts similar, but this time more comfortable, huts to the old ones, with a pit to give a larger space.

Skills: The Nymians were always very good at hunting. They could easily climb trees and ambush wild animals all over the forest. They mainly hunted with bows, spears and daggers. Bows to shoot from a distance, spears to kill when closer to the prey or to combat the larger monsters of the forest and daggers to carve meat or to throw to wound prey. The Nymians were also powerful in magic, at least after many years. Some say that the forest itself is magical, and that the power of the Nymians grew as they lived around the life force of the forest. Their magic is not dark like Eras, but instead it brings life, so basically is very plant related (Oh God, please don't tell me Ihra is going to settle in Nyme itself... that is, if she survives all of her possible deaths). They are also great healers.

Population:
Current Population: 1,000,000
Size of Armed Forces: 400,000
Population Capacity of Nyme: 1,500,000

Because of the wars, I expanded the population a bit from my original plans. The Nymian population is about as large as I originally planned Fellak to be. Their population hasn't fully recovered from the Wars of the Doomed, as there are still many empty and abandoned buildings in Nyme (and well-kept ones planned for the population expansion before the Wars of the Doomed), but they have almost recovered.

Ruler: Besides being ruled by King Farason II, and of course bowing to Eras, they still have their 'High Lord' title from the Wars of the Doomed, which instead of a necessity to control Nyme, has become more of a ceremonial title, though many believe that the High Lord is a symbol of peace and prosperity. High Lord Breln of House Huvern currently holds the title. The High Lord is chosen from the three main Houses of Nyme: House Huvern, House Jylv and House Xiftol. House Huvern and House Jylv are the two more peaceful Houses, though House Hyvern centres itself more around trade while House Jylv is more centred around developing Nyme. House Xiftol is more centred around armed forces and war, and as you may have guessed was the ruling House at the time of the Wars of the Doomed. They haven't ruled since, but there are rumours that, at the upcoming High Lord House Election, they may come to power again and stirring up the people of Nyme against the draconians.

 

I wonder who this mystery character could be? Looks like it's time for theories!
Teehee

 

I already have an idea of who it will be but I'm not sure and I don't want to spoil it because the character seems very likely, though I'm not sure.

 

I bet it's [REDACTED].

 

It's a deity.

What else can cut entire worlds out of existence?
Right, lots of things.

Rephrase: What else could cut out entire dimensions out of existences simply by willing it?

Deity.

 

Yep, it is who I guessed.

 

Well, what I said was just a theory after all; a RP Theory!

 

My god, it hit 1.5k... I didn't think it'd be this successful.

Now I just hope everyone here now is in it for the long haul.
(Both in terms of activity and you have no idea how bitter I get when I have to write someone's death)

Because it's a long haul.

Quick questions for players:
After this ends or dies out, would you be interested in doing a rerun? Different outcomes, maybe a different ending?

How am I doing as a host? Am I doing okay, or is there something you'd like me to fix? I take input seriously. (Unless the input isn't serious, which case I don't)

 

1. Yas o.o
2. I think you're doing great :3

 

1. Yes, it would be interesting to try a re-run. With different characters of course, and that would start to get interesting.
2. You're a great host!

 

Fellakans

Settlement: The Fellakans live in the central plains of the Darklands. They are considered to be the main people, or clan, as they are the most numerous and the capital is also Fellak. The Fellakans used to live off of farms on the plains, growing crops and raising animals. They also made a few small settlements in the northern mountains, as they needed homes for their miners. They all, however, avoided the Shadow Stone, a spire of rock jutting out from a deep and mysterious pit in the eastern part of the plains. One day, Eras appeared to the Fellakans and said, "The time has come for you to accept a gift I have prepared for you. Go to the Shadow Stone and you will find your gift." Many people then went to the Shadow Stone to see the gift. What they found was a mighty castle. A castle fit for royalty, but they had no royalty. There was a single bridge to the castle. Over the years, they made mighty buildings but made them smaller and smaller, as they did not want the city to be available to those who could afford it, but to everyone who wished to live in the city they would make. But at the start of the building of the city, a young woman gave birth. Eras declared that she would be the Queen of the Darklands. Sadly, she died in childbirth, but she had brought up a King. The baby King was raised in the palace and many wished to serve the baby King. And since then, each King of the Darklands has lived in the castle.

Skills: The Fellakans have more physical strength than the other peoples of the Darklands. They specialise in mining and farming and also building. They would have to be, as they made the largest city in the Darklands. They gain food from farming. When they fight, they use swords, axes, lances and other heavy weapons. Very few of them have even a small amount of magic, but almost all of those who have had magic have attempted to reach the Void Palace, as they believe that the reason they have magic is to serve Eras, or at least show their gratitude and faith in him.

Population: 10,000,000
Size of Armed Forces: 4,000,000
Population Capacity of Fellak, surrounding areas and Mining Settlements: 12,000,000

Ruler: The Fellakans have a King. Not only this, but this King rules all of the Darklands. The King has the final decision of the rules put forward by the peoples of Nyme and Runetrel and also decides the rules for his own people. He is also a symbol of power and hope to all of the Darklands. And there have been a few Queens in the past too, though only in more recent years. The castle is so large and tall that all of the royal family live there. And the royal family is VERY large. They have been around for many, many years. I'm not actually sure of the timings and I'm not good at making timings, but the royal family was around when Eras finished creating the castle, which was actually hidden by an illusion while he was constructing it. Since it was so large, Eras took many years creating it and making it perfect, as well as doing his ordinary duties and creating the dungeon underneath the Shadow Stone at the same time. This would have been about a billion years after humans first existed, so imagine all that time the royal family has been there and lived in the castle. A few have of course died for various reasons but still, it is a very large family. So large that you could count the royal family as a fourth people, especially since they have actually mixed a lot with the Nymians and Runetrels. Since the War of Ruin, Eras has visited the Kings and Queens often and given them advice or listened to their ideas or anything else they wish to speak to him about.

 

Reforms would help clear this up immensely.

@Pit and Dank Pit and @Devourer If you could gather the lore covering your kingdoms and consolidate it (or spam my inbox, whatever works), I can see just how much stuff's here (and try to organize my own stuff, god that's gonna take eons) and maybe get something as readable as the op was early-rp.

(holycrapthere'sjustsomuch)

 

Ok, I'll do that later today. Prepare to see the largest amount of text ever produced in your inbox!

 

I cri in advance

jk

 

Well I decided to sketch a Draconian. 3 hours later:

Spoiler: Click for the Picture

Psyche!
Fooled ya!
Okay, fine, geez...

Spoiler: Here it really is

Also, I was wondering what everyone else had in their head of what a draconian might look like. I especially want to hear @Exvhius 's answer, seeing as my original plan was Vesius.... hint hint.

 

I have a headsketch of Ihra (that's hideously out of proportion... Yay mid-exam boredom) and lost a half-body sketch of Vesius.
I'm no artist, and for good reason. I've been trying to draw Ihra (<3), but I just.
Well.
Suck.
+1 appreciation on that picture

 

That's a really small image, but I pulled that off the internet.

I know Vesius is black and all, though.

 

Burnt.
He's really more of a dark green color, but he's thoroughly torched.

 

I was thinking that they would have a more human lower half of their head, with a reptilian but fairly human face too. Anyone watched Doctor Who? There were these reptilian creatures which lived underground. Basically, I'm picturing draconians having a head like them except with a larger crest and some horns.
As for the rest of the body, that's pretty much what I was thinking.

 

1. I wouldn't mind a re-run if it was different. Retracing the same steps in different boots isn't fun, but taking a different path is. What if it wasn't a shadow who'd fallen out of the crack in space and time?

2. I'd say you're doing extremely well as a host. When active, you respond quite quickly to others' inputs and your interactions with, as well as the characters themselves, make sense (It's not like: 'Rawr! I stab the other person' 'Well I have anti-stabbing armour on and I blast you with a mega deathray of doom!' 'Well I have anti-death ray armour and I stab you with a knife that pierces anti-effect armour' 'Well I'm magical and I don't get hurt by it!', so good job!)

Plz no ;n;
