This is a 100% unique RP experience of the site Administrators own creation. We are still in the creation process but feel we are close enough to completion to begin. Feel free to PM Orion with any questions.
The story of Areythia has been told and retold through the generations. It is a story that involves drama, joy, sadness, horror, and mystery.
It is said that 4,000 years ago, the creators of the world planted the seeds of life on this planet, then stepped back to watch it grow. Their plan was perfect. The world grew quickly by the standards of time. The first intelligent life forms lived in harmony with each other and with the land for 2,000years.There were creatures of the sea, the sky, the land and the trees. The creators were pleased with their efforts and felt great joy at the wonders of their creation and the people who lived thereon.
That is until off worlders arrived 2,000 years ago. They arrived on a large ship, bringing with them...humans. The creators knew these were the most dangerous creatures that could possibly invade their planet. They knew it would take great power to save the planet from the humans.
It is said that they used most of their remaining powers to raise the Kingdom of Skylaria up into the heavens, hide the forest dwellers and blow the Great Mountain, where the ship and all the humans technology was located into oblivion, causing the great steam tower which keeps Skylaria in the air. The creatures of the Majestic sea were left to their own devices to protect themselves from the humans.
It is said that the creators then used their remaining power to transform the people of Great Kingdom of Skylaria so that they were able to fly. They left them with scrolls of wisdom and instructed them to look after the world below them. They then retreated to the Northern Kingdom and sealed it off from the rest of the world until they can replenish their power so they can come back and cleanse the world of the human scourge.
After the great apocalypse and the disappearance of the creators, it was found that the humans were quite resilient and settled in on the planet with ease. The only problem was, they brought with them an animal virus that got into a bat and a wolf. These animals recovered but mutated. Their bite carried the mutated virus that transformed humans into Vampires and Worgens. Since vampires could not live in the sun and the worgens need the constant moon to transform at will, they retreated into the part of the world where the sky is shaded from the sun by the steam clouds formed by the steam tower that plumes from the Great Fissure that was left when the Great Mountain was destroyed. Thus creating the Kingdom of Night.
It was found that the creatures of the Kingdom of night could not survive the sunlight, so many people retreated to the part of the planet that is constantly bathed in varying degrees of sunlight. These people must stay on the move constantly, as the small sun that illuminates this land is in such a small orbit that its cycle causes a migration of heat that is uninhabitable. As long as the people follow the cool rays they can survive in this desert wilderness. They live in clans and use horses to travel from one camp to another. The biggest form of excitement are the horse races which decided the measure of a man.
The humans also found that the plains on this planet were fertile and gave forth abundant crops. The grasses are sweet and cattle thrive on them. These humans became farmers living in houses made of wood and sod, then eventually building small towns. At first the towns were peaceful and the people worked together in harmony. It would have made the creators proud. But then a portal appeared on the northern border of the Western Kingdom and people came through. They wanted to find out what happened to the humans that came to Arethia so long ago. It was here that a weapon was stolen and used to create a crude 6 shooter pistol which now is the deciding factor in who is right and who is wrong in the Western Kingdom.
A select few of the humans who settled on the planet found that they could share a psychic bond with dragons who lived in the cliffs between the Kingdoms of Day and Night and the Western Kingdom and the Kingdom of Night. The dragons have a natural instinct to kill the creatures of the night who dare to try to cross the boundary into the Kingdom of Day on the rare occasion that the sun does not shine. The dragon riders live in the cliffs with their dragon companions and are given goods and services by the Kingdom of Day and the Western Kingdom for their protection services.
