For thousands of years, elemental spirits, or demons as the mortals have come to call them, have roamed Myrios free and unhindered until the Age of Humans arrived. It started with a shipload of refugees from another land, seeking a life of peace from an unending war between kingdoms, famine and plagues. Here, the human's found mythical creatures they had only ever read about in books. Tall tales walking and floating about this land of summer and winter, living their lives as if they weren't but stories in children books to the newcomers.

Five centuries have passed since the first humans stepped foot on this once sacred land where wild magic once filled the air and land and all of its inhabitants. Turmoil has spread, causing the spirits to turn on one another as the influence of the humans grows. The two largest groups of spirits; the ice spirits and the fire spirits, wage a war over land as they are pushed away from their once peaceful existence. The earth spirits wander freely as nomads while the water spirits fight with the humans over their coastal lands.

All other mythical creatures have found ways to adapt and blend into the human settlements, either hiding themselves within or freely moving about while the mortals look on in fear or awe.

This roleplay takes place on a large continent where the mountains clash with evergreen forests with earth spirits on one side and a desert with fire spirits on the other. Human settlements have formed along the coasts and inland, forcing many of the ancient spirits to fight over land between each other and the humans. Use your imagination and interpret the land as you see fit. No one is forced to interact with one another, you're free to make your own adventure with NPCs and settlements as you see fit. As I'll be active with the thread, I'll keep track of settlements and the like that form up and list them here for others to see.

Outside the spirits fighting over lands with one another and with the humans, there is no major established plot. You are free to make your own adventure: head into war against other spirits or the humans, discover new artifacts in the ancient land of Myrios, blend in with the humans or be human yourself and run a town or tavern. You can be whatever it is you want to be, human or mythical creature.

Everyone is welcome to join in at any time, at any point. Any questions, please PM me (or I can make an OOC thread if there are enough). Should romance occur between characters, please keep smut in spoilers or take it to a private thread in the appropriate forums.

I'd like to participate. Though, I do have a question: Are we allowed to make characters with ice magic?

Absolutely! :D
 
Very well. I have a character in mind and would like to participate. ^-^

I would love for you too! Feel free to jump in any time you're ready!
 
I switched to a shadow character. Her name will be Nimh. Theme song here, preferred outfit here.
 
Thinking of joining. Made a half dryad (dryad x moon elf with water spirit heritage) who can manipulate earth, plant and water elements.

I thought of a city in the desert call Basmet within the Helios Wastes, a expansive desert which is home to desert Sphinx.

Also thought of bringing in a race I created (Wolsune which are werewolf kitsune hybrids) who were pushed out of their territory due to possible water elementals destroying it due to rising seas or a natural disaster like a tsunami, forcing them to move. They'd kind of serve as belong out despite being displaced, giving shelter, medicine, food, aid when settled.
 
Sounds great! I definitely left it open for people to bring in anything they want so any of your ideas you want to play around with are more than welcome!
 
What do you think the season would be in the rp?

That is a good question. I would say probably between spring and summer. The land is split between elements in most of the land so it can be difficult to discern.
 
Sorry for the questions. Was going to ask how far is say the eastern coast from where the other characters are currently in terms of travel. Like how long would it take to walk there. Just trying to make sure I get this travel right.
 
The questions are fine! I don't really have anything mapped out and it can be bigger depending on what people decide to do. Where Janara and the few are now are more in the center so I would say a week at the very lease before hitting coast side.
 
Hey guys! I made a thread to put the lore information in as it's built. Feel free to post your own in there as you see fit. (Or I can if you prefer to PM me the information).

I am adding Nimh to my character appendix - but I would like to add another. I'd like to add a sage who is attached to the Order of Whispers who act as a liaison between humans and spirits and are said to be those who practice divination? If that is okay.
