Realms of Westeria
Made with @Edelgard
Westeria: the realm of hope for new lives and journies. Once, it was a land that flourished with magic, the relationship between human and nature at an equilibrium. It was the perfect balance as society grew, technologies advancing and breakthroughs in arcane abilities. The people here were known for being powerful spellcasters, masters of the elements, researchers into new magic domains, and students who thrived on being the next heroes.
As time passed, there emerged a growing dispute between the people centring on the main economic values, scientific discoveries, or magic. Those who held a higher affinity with magic started to distance themselves from those who claimed that society would only advance with new technologies. Sides were taken, and skirmishes broke out. Even the government broke into factions, unable to solve the growing divide. An attempt was made to split the land, but it only ended in disaster. As families packed up and left, others stayed behind based on affordability. Cities started to clear out, new ones being made.
Even the new society wasn’t perfect. Selenium, the land of science flourished in their achievements going on to build momentous contraptions and gizmos. The carbon emissions started to kill off the flora there, and even if substitute machines were built to stabilise life, the damage was done.
Lakora, the land of the mystical were magic is the only rule. Sorcerers trained together and learned new technics, more efficient methods of communications and transportation. No longer were the basic elements the norm, people were now harnessing abilities unheard of, combining them, controlling them.
The settled land wasn’t enough to disperse the tension in the air. The borders became places for riots that became full-on fights, that became wars. The people decided that there could only be one, science or magic, and in the end, they would see which method was superior.
It has been about one year into the war, and you are a cadet fighting valiantly for your faction. Whether it is by choice or not, whether you left a family behind or not, all you know now is that you must end up winning. The abilities of the arcane, or the genius and creativity of technology, how will you define your story through Westeria?
Additional Information
• This is an RP/SG which means there will be story moments in addition to written roleplay
• Semi-literate to literate RP, no one-liners
• This RP centres around a war, which could contain sensitive subjects (like PTSD)
• There will be special spy positions where characters can pose as cadets from the opposite side. To obtain one, send a PM to @BlueInferno and/or @Edelgard
• Each day will have an activity or quest in addition to the ongoing ones. Those will be posted along with the ‘new day’ posts
• You will eventually choose a leader among the cadets of each faction
• The RP is planned to start December 14th. I will update you all if anything changes
Rules
• Censor curse words
• Keep the ORP to the RP/SG chat
• No mature scenes in the RP/SG thread
• No one-liners because it’s counterintuitive to continue a story with such little information to build upon
• Write in the third person. We want to keep the plot from being too personal
• Write the location/faction of your character. I cannot emphasise this more. Selenium and Lakora are thousands of kilometres apart. Cadets from one faction should not be talking to a cadet of another faction unless engaged in combat. Even then, please write the location of your character in general
Note: This is a revamp of an old RP from Episode. If you would like your original characters back, tag @BlueInferno
