OOC: I am putting this advertisment by request of my comrade
Kokushi who will be making her first RP shortly. Since she is currently deployed she is however still really eager to do her first story. As a fellow serviceman I am willing to do all I can to help her out in this effort.
But enough about that, comrades I gladly welcome you to ...
The Elemental LegacyOur story takes place on
Divus, a simple yet beautiful world split into six separate continents ruled buy six separate lords. The six continents are called
Batillus (Fire),
Nymphe (Water),
Tellus (Earth),
Zephyru (Wind),
Tenebra (Darkness), and
Lucerna (Light); each named for one of the six elements that the people have mastery over, not to say that those who live on these continents cannot master other magics. The six continents form what appears to be a ring around a single barren island the size of the present day Alaska where legend says the Dark Lord and his companion lay in an enchanted slumber cast upon him by the Six Sages. One Sage from each continent was meant to be trained as the years passed in the event the Dark Lord should awaken, yet as years turned into Centuries and Centuries into Millennia, the practice slowly died out. Those that showed exceptional power with the elements were taken in to schools to train and become strong warriors, but nothing more.
Each Continent is dominated by a different race, though other races do live within the main populace. Those among the magical races are Elves (
Tellus), Demons and Drow (
Tenebra), Humans (
Lucerna), Shifter (
Zephyru), Nymphs (
Nymphe), and Dragonborn (
Batillus). Among the non-elemental based magic races reside the Centaur, Dwarves, Half- Orcs, Gnomes, Harpies, Minotaurs, Lycanthropes, Vampires, Gnolls, Trolls and the Halflings. The twelve non-elementals live on the continents with the six main races, though it is not always a peaceful co-existence for some races wish to see the Dark Lord rise. Now, nearly 5 millennia since the Dark Lord was sealed, those races may get their wish.
A disturbance has occurred within the middle island, the very thing that those who remembered the legends have feared. Each school has set forth their top student, one who is strong in their main focus, yet a master of all six, in hopes of being able to seal the Dark Lord before he awakens once more, casting shadows across their beloved world.
The School where the six Sages must train is located on the continent of
Tenebra, within
ēna Kristāla City, the capital of the Continent. This is where the story begins, but where it goes from here is completely up to those that the people of
Divus now depend on. Each Sage has a stone representing their element that is embedded within the weapon of their choice and if they have no weapon, it was fashioned into a piece of jewelry they never remove.
--------------------------
Dark Lord BonketsuBonketsu once ruled over the six contents as a fearsome ruler. He enslaved the races and forced them to fight each other, strictly for his and his Companions amusement. No one knows what race he belongs too, some say he is undead; others believe he is a twisted form of some immortal Demi-God who only wished destruction upon Divus. He ruled for nearly 500 years before a band of six Sages, one from each continent, sealed him and his companion away in the barren wasteland that was once the home of the seventh race that had long ago died out.
Now it has been nearly 5 millennia and the ground beneath the lost continent is beginning to shift, signaling his awakening.
MorphisorMorphisor is Bonketsu’s companion who would fly to each continent, demanding a virgin tribute once yearly on the harvest moon. As a Red dragon, he is the largest, most powerful, and most infamous of the dragons. During Bonketsu’s reign as a tyrant, he did as he pleased and was often sent to burn down whole cities when they would not comply to Lord Bonketsu’s wishes. Morphisor was sealed along with Bonketsu 5 millenia ago and it is believed that he is the reason why the Earth shakes around the lost continent.
The Lost Continent has been barren since the Dark Lord had the inhabitants, and the land itself, exterminated because they refused to accept him as their new found leader. Those on the remaining six continents have long since forgotten the Lost Continent’s name and the name of the Race that once resided there, their power lost to time. This is the resting place of the Dark Lord Bonketsu and Morphisor, the place where the Six Legendary Sages saw it fit to seal them. What better place to eternally trap those who destroyed the land, within the land itself. Now, the land is slowly being shaken apart as both Bonketsu and Morphior stir, slowly coming out of their enchanted slumber.
