Emblem Chronicles [OOC] (Fantasy-Fire Emblem Inspired)

[Nations United for Conquest]

Just figuring out how to get some people to Plaria

Yeah everyone's so spread apart, it'll be difficult for interaction.

On another note, I decided that the village will be in Jassasin as that makes more sense plot wise plus Lief can meet one of the Zendle characters that way if they invade Jassasin.

Eh, I made Plaria isoslationist on purpose, but now I have no port. I need a good archer, and Plaria is known for them

That could probably work out. I'll probably have a run-in with your character in that case.

Is OP still around?

[The Valyria Empire]

Is OP still around?

I'm always around, there's not one day I don't get on NS.

Anyway, most of our characters will be in Zendle, Hiero and Jassasin.

Zendle is more plains like, with more mountains the further you get to Jassasin with Jassasin being like Anatolia. (Jassasin is literally the Ottoman Empire but Fire Emblem).

Also now that the official Manakete app is here I'll need to adjust my Manakete character.

Well gentlemen, while we build the world and such, I believe it is time to ask a question. The only question that matters.


Who is best waifu?

I apologize if this conversation was supposed to stay in the worldbuilding thread, but the new Heroes update has given me the perfect answer.

[Zyvalia]

Name: Nidhoggr
Appearance: The harrowing Nidhoggr, said to contain the very soul of the Primeval One. If one peers to it long enough, they are said to hear whispers.
Type: Dragonstone
Special Properties: Adds to wielder's defense and resistance. When used at its highest power, the wielder's form is warped to that of the Primeval One instead of their traditional true draconic appearance.
Weapon Creator: The First Manakete / The Primeval One
Previous Wielder and Current Wielder (if someone still wields it):
The original "wielder" was technically its creator, the First Manakete, who infused the very essence of his dragonhood into the form of this orb in order to assume a form similar to humans. The Dragonstone was eventually lost to time, soon uncovered by the hero Hadron in his plights. When he was killed, the stone was sealed away, only recently being bestowed upon the young Prince Aster.

Weapon's History:

Millenia ago, during humanity's war with their dragonic oppressors, a dragon whose name has been forgotten to time betrayed his own kind in order to aid the humans in their conflict. Fighting alongside the human heroes wielding their legendary arms, this dragon eventually assisted the humans in conquering and hunting those of his kind. When the war was over, and he was all that remained of dragonkind, he used his immense power to change himself into a human-like form, becoming the first Manakete and sealing his immense power away into what is now known to legend as the Nidhoggr Dragonstone. With his true form sealed away, the First Manakete managed to live side by side with the humans as they recovered from the war, offering his services and counsel to those he fought alongside.

However, his existence was not one of acceptance. Eventually humanity realized that, regardless of his deeds during the war, this Manakete was still a dragon, and a fearfully powerful one at that. As long as he lived the tyranny may still continue. Humanity began to hunt down their final enemy, and, according to legend, chased this first Manakete around the world in their hunt for him. He ran, never once resuming his true form for hope of winning the humans' trust. Such efforts were for naught, and eventually he was driven to his end. In his final place to run, the Manakete sealed his stone away in a snowy mountain shrine, and for the final time, faced down his human pursuers atop the mountain, at last sacrificing himself, realizing he had no other choice.

The descendants of this nameless manakete revered him in legend, dubbing him the Primeval One. Due to this manakete's sacrifice, and the creation of the first Dragonstone, the true forms of Manakete kind are sealed behind one's mystical Dragonstone. Years later, Manaketes grew out of touch with their true heritage, with only a few harnessing the powers of the Dragonstones. Much of them resorted to physical weaponry: Spears, swords, axes, etc. However, there remains many faithful to their draconic bloodline. During the time of tribal warfare amongst the Manakete, one such individual was Hadron, one who was able to achieve his true Dragon form. He waged a war to unify the tribes against those who dissented the idea, and in doing so, uncovered the legendary Nidhoggr on the Drago Isle. According to legend, the power to wield the stone was demanding, yet Hadron was able to take it up and use it to find victory in his war, establishing the nation of Wyvegarde with its power. Eventually Hadron had to wield Nidhoggr in a war to defend his homeland, a war which concluded with a pyrrhic victory, resulting in the defeat of the invaders at the cost of Hadron's life. Nidhoggr had lost its first true wielder, and the first inheritor of the Primeval One.

Sage Lucille, wife of the late Hadron, took it upon herself to seal away this relic of old until it was ready to be wielded once more. For over a millenia she kept it hidden away in the same mountain shrine where it had been first sealed, keeping it a secret from all, even her children. However, the third generation of Wyvegarde rulers were born, the two "Sons of the Dragon," Glavis and Aster. Lucille took notice in Aster's infatuation with the very nature of who he was, his curiosity and intelligence. He was gifted with a Dragonstone, as all Manakete royals had been, but found himself resonating amazingly with it, unlike his brother and predecessors, save for his mother. Lucille trained and raised him in the image of Hadron, his power growing and thriving under her education. After years of training from Lucille, eventually he was gifted Nidhoggr, unlocking the path to true power.

[The Valyria Empire]

Everything here is accepted.

Name: Courtney, known as Requiem
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Home Nation: Oathsworn
Allegiance paid to: Oathsworn
Class: Hero
Appearance: Average build and height. Short jet black hair. Brown eyes and lighter dark skin. Thuggish looking face. Has actual facial hair she must constantly shave.
Personality: Requiem is a brave and strong willed woman who enlisted in the Oathsworn's military as soon as she was able to. She became a distinguished soldier and worked her way up to a commanding position. She is known throughout the Oathsworn for her skill and ferocity, but those who have met her know her for her selfishness and ruthless nature. She has stepped on many people to get where she is, but she had also impressed those above her.

In truth Requiem is a remorseless individual lacking in empathy who only sees things in relation to herself. She was nothing before earning a reputation in the military. Now she wants everything to bend to her will and fundamentally seeks to never be a victim.

The Oathsworn culture gives people titles when they enter adulthood and it is considered dishonorable to refer to an adult by their birth name. Requiem is her title. Additionally she personally despises her birth name.
Skills/Powers:
Skilled fighter, especially with swords
Tactical ability
Weaponry: Swords, Axes
Biography: Courtney was born to an Oathsworn mage and had an outsider mother who became an Oathsworn through marriage and worked as a carpenter. When she was only four her parents were murdered in front of her by an assassin. Figuring out that the Hierarchs knew more about it than they let on, she vowed to one day learn the truth. She trained for eventual military service as an orphan and joined the military as soon as she could. When she became a woman she was given her sacred title, Requiem. It honored her vow to seek knowledge and justice for her parents.

Requiem quickly earned a reputation. Though disliked by other soldiers she earned the attention of the officers and the Hierarchs themselves. She was given more and more dangerous assignments and climbed the ranks with each one. After achieving the rank of Captain the Hierarchs revealed that they knew the truth about her parent's murder and that they had kept it from her as a girl to protect her. Having proven herself they revealed what they knew, that the murder was politically motivated... and nothing else. Realizing that her life had been a long shaggy dog story, Requiem decided to focus on her career. At least she could ensure that she would never be victimized again.

Head of Government: While Glavis rules the government in name, the aforementioned Sages truly handle much of the issues of state, led by the esteemed Sage Lucille, a powerful manakete diviner.

Military Population: Military population isn't high yet is admirable due to the uniquity of Manaketes and the popularity of magic in Wyvegarde. Has a high amount of Wyvern Knights.

History:

Wyvegarde came first from the unity of the many Manakete tribes in the vast wilds surrounding the present Drago Isle. Originally these tribes had more or less held disdain or uneasy alliances with one another for, according to historical records, thousands of years. The tribes were mostly binded by the Manaketes' coloration in their true draconic forms, be it red, green, blue, or the rarer golden and silver coloration. The unifier of these clans was one of the golden Manakete. He was a warrior by the name of Hadron. His ideals of unity was first met with war from those tribes which disagreed. Hadron had brought enough of his army together with other tribes he convinced to his purpose, and in turn defeated those opposing the bond between tribes. Legend states that Hadron won using the power of the legendary tome "Nidhoggr," said to contain the power of the long gone dragons themselves. Leading alongside with a warmaiden cleric by the name of Lucille from the Azure Tribe by the sea, along with several other compatriots, he was able to unify the tribes. This brief conflict was dubbed the Golden Scales War, particularly named after Hadron and the Golden Tribe that instigated the unity.

The tribes unified under Hadron himself, crowning him their Monarch, and he took Lucille as his bride and queen. The two became the rulers of the new nation of Wyvegarde, and traveled to the heart of the tribelands, Drago Isle, to begin the construction of their capital. Construction took nearly a century for the city to be complete, which was henceforth known as "Drakenflux," the center of the nation of Wyvegarde. At the time, Wyvegarde stretched from into the wilds surrounding the Drago Isle, yet in the modern day it only truly encompasses the island itself. During the time of construction, the next generation of Manakete scions was born from Hadron and Lucille's union. The eldest, a daughter by the name of Nariah, was to become the next Monarch after her father. Lucille also birthed younger twin princes, Varin and Zavrin, who themselves were Wyvegarde royalty.

While relatively undisturbed from humankind during the nation's development, Wyvegarde was set upon by hordes of raiders from the east during the 150th year of Hadron's rule. In his older, yet still able age, he once again took up Nidhoggr to battle, this time to defend his country. The royal family, numbering five now including the offspring and Lucille, took to war with Monarch Hadron despite his pleas not to. Regardless, the queenly Lucille, having become a well respected Sage in the eyes of the nation; Nariah, who herself had become a very masterful swordswoman accompanied with her powerful transformative abilities; and the twin princes, Varin and Zavrin, who had both become powerful, noble Wyvern Knights, rushed alongside their Monarch into battle on the eastern continent of Wyvegarde. The resulting war, known as the Valiant Opposition, saw the eastern continent razed almost entirely by the seemingly never ending horse of raiders, horribly damaging the Manakete population. Yet, in the end, Hadron and his army triumphed, halting the horde just as they reached the shore of the continent and ultimately decimating the raiders' army in a final push. However, this final conflict saw the death of Prince Varin in battle as well as the assassination of Monarch Hadron upon the last breaths of the battle. While Wyvegarde was victorious in the end, they had never been more damaged. The eastern continent was never able to be salvaged, and eventually was lost from Wyvegarde, the survivors of the war retreating to live in Drago Isle.

Resulting from the Valiant Opposition, Nariah took the throne with her brother and her mother at her side as both advisors and fierce guardians. The conflict left the nation wary of humankind, and the restoration efforts from the newly crowned Monarch Nariah led efforts to ease the pain of refugees from the East, including a stark few humans enslaved by the raider horde, and help assimilate them into their new home at the Drago Isle. Her efforts made her known as a leader of compassion and love, despite her ferocity and temper during war. Many reflect that she eventually developed herself as a reflection of her mother: Sagelike, noble, and wise.

The legendary time of Nidhoggr was sealed away by Lucille, as neither those of "holy blood" bore the magical aptitude to wield it as their father had. While Lucille herself was very much able to wield its power, she didn't out of respect for her late husband, instead keeping it for the next heir worthy of wielding its power.

As years past influence in the wilds of the west waned, and eventually Wyvegarde simply retracted to the Drago Isle itself. Nariah continued to rule for centuries, and soon enough Wyvegarde made true accord with humanity outside of cautious shying away and hiding itself from the outside world. They struck peace with the nation of Jassasin, as Monarch Nariah finally overcame her due resentment for humans to ally with the nation. While she waited many years into her life, eventually Nariah married and bore children, her husband a respected knight-general by the name of Kelstadt who also fought in the Valiant Opposition. Together they had two sons in the 1000th year of Wyvegarde's existence. The eldest was Glavis, a temperamental and rather hasty child, and the youngest was Aster, a feeble, physically frail, yet exceptionally gifted child in the art of magic. In year 1150 of Wyvegarde's reign, and roughly the thousandth year of Monarch Nariah's rule, she fell ill and soon passed away. With the nation in mourning, Glavis was crowned Monarch at the age of 150, quite young by Manakete standards. Lucille, wife to the first Monarch, still lives, albeit middle aged, she is still deeply respected by all. Her son, Zavrin, became famed as a noble and strong Wyvern Lord, the final survivor from his generation of royalty. To this day he is the leading general of Wyvegarde's military.. Nariah's husband Kelstadt, and the father of Glavis and Aster, has taught them both in warfare and arms, yet Glavis takes much easier to weaponry than his brother Aster. Aster instead learned from his grandmother Lucille in private. She taught him in magic, a power almost forgotten by the loyalty since the long-gone days of Monarch Hadron. Lucille saw Hadron in the young Manakete, from his intelligence to his analytical mind to his slight stoicism yet passionate heart. While Glavis inherited the title of Monarch, Aster inherited the legendary Nidhoggr after several years of training and learning with Lucille, the true "holy blood" coursing through his veins.

It is now the 1250th year of Wyvegarde's existence. Glavis bears the title of Dragon Monarch with a rather naive, yet pure heart, while his brother Prince Aster has become a mage-in-training. While Wyvegarde is a small nation, it is not to be called a weak one, and bears history dating back centuries.


RP Example: Hopefully I don't need it

Okay, I'm fine with all of this. Except for a few things;
1. Following FE tradition manakete only use dragonstones to attack. What kind of breath they have is up to you. However, the only way for them to use other weapons is to reclass so without bringing re class into this RP I'm going to ask that Manakete either have to choose if they use a dragonstone or other weapon. Or only some are born with the ability to harness dragon stones.
2. Wyverns are related to manakete, seems weird for them to ride something you're related to into battle.
Besides it looks good.

Name: Nidhoggr
Appearance (Picture or written): Nidhoggr appears to look like this, yet it seems charred and burnt around its edges. Somewhat miraculously, the tome itself remains unharmed.
Type (Sword, Axe, Lance, Bow, Staff or Tome: Tome
Special Properties: Adds to wielder's defense and resistance. It's attack is normally a blaze of blue-white fire, but a "critical" attack summons a dragon head to engulf the foe.
Weapon Creator: The Primeval Manakete
Previous Wielder and Current Wielder (if someone still wields it): Unknown who the true identity of the first wielder was, but the next one to wield it was Monarch Hadron in his quest for unity and then the defense of his nation. As of today, it is wielded by Prince Aster.
Weapon's History:

The divine tome Nidhoggr was said to originate during the great war against the Dragons, in which the Primeval Manakete, said to be a divine emissary of Naga, absorbed the essence of dragon fire into a tome. The result was one of the most powerful, yet demanding, spells in known history. The Primeval Manakete, whose name has been lost to the ages, used this tome with his own transformative capabilities to fight alongside the other seven heroes against the blight of dragons.

Upon the war's conclusion, the Primeval Manakete disappeared, and so did all traces of the Nidhoggr tome. However, many generations later when Manakete tribes flourished and conflicted, a new Manakete hero uncovered the tome within an ancient shrine in the mountains of Drago Isle. The shrine itself was lost to the ages, and had not been touched for centuries. The hero, Hadron, took up the tome in his quest, which revealed itself to be the legendary Nidhoggr, the very tome that brought cleansing flame upon the earth. Hadron, gracious of his blessing, used the power of the tome to unify his people and form the nation of Wyvegarde, as well as protect his home several years later. Hadron was unjustly assassinated in the defense of his home, and thus Nidhoggr had a wielder no more.

Sage Lucille, wife of the late Hadron, took it upon herself to seal away this gift of Naga until it was ready to be wielded once more. For over a millenia she kept it hidden away in the same mountain shrine where it had been discovered, keeping it a secret from all, even her children. However, the third generation of Wyvegarde rulers were born, the two "Sons of the Dragon," Glavis and Aster. Lucille took notice in Aster magical acuity, and trained him in magic while his brother ascended the throne. Eventually, after many years, Lucille gifted Prince Aster the Nidhoggr tome, sensing that he was indeed the successor to Hadron worthy of inheriting it's power and responsibility.

Okay, now this really confuses me.
Manakete are basically dragons, not dragon human hybrids. They're just dragons who have stored their power in stones and thus have taken on human forms. This whole First Manakete teaming up against the dragons is very bizarre. Did this Manakete betray his fellow dragons (Seath style)? Also Naga was a dragon why would she give a tome to someone to kill dragons.

I'm going to deny this until some corrections are made

Also holy shit so many princes. Fucking hell...

RP Example: Hopefully I don't need it

Okay, I'm fine with all of this. Except for a few things;
1. Following FE tradition manakete only use dragonstones to attack. What kind of breath they have is up to you. However, the only way for them to use other weapons is to reclass so without bringing re class into this RP I'm going to ask that Manakete either have to choose if they use a dragonstone or other weapon. Or only some are born with the ability to harness dragon stones.
2. Wyverns are related to manakete, seems weird for them to ride something you're related to into battle.
Besides it looks good.

Name: Nidhoggr
Appearance (Picture or written): Nidhoggr appears to look like this, yet it seems charred and burnt around its edges. Somewhat miraculously, the tome itself remains unharmed.
Type (Sword, Axe, Lance, Bow, Staff or Tome: Tome
Special Properties: Adds to wielder's defense and resistance. It's attack is normally a blaze of blue-white fire, but a "critical" attack summons a dragon head to engulf the foe.
Weapon Creator: The Primeval Manakete
Previous Wielder and Current Wielder (if someone still wields it): Unknown who the true identity of the first wielder was, but the next one to wield it was Monarch Hadron in his quest for unity and then the defense of his nation. As of today, it is wielded by Prince Aster.
Weapon's History:

The divine tome Nidhoggr was said to originate during the great war against the Dragons, in which the Primeval Manakete, said to be a divine emissary of Naga, absorbed the essence of dragon fire into a tome. The result was one of the most powerful, yet demanding, spells in known history. The Primeval Manakete, whose name has been lost to the ages, used this tome with his own transformative capabilities to fight alongside the other seven heroes against the blight of dragons.

Upon the war's conclusion, the Primeval Manakete disappeared, and so did all traces of the Nidhoggr tome. However, many generations later when Manakete tribes flourished and conflicted, a new Manakete hero uncovered the tome within an ancient shrine in the mountains of Drago Isle. The shrine itself was lost to the ages, and had not been touched for centuries. The hero, Hadron, took up the tome in his quest, which revealed itself to be the legendary Nidhoggr, the very tome that brought cleansing flame upon the earth. Hadron, gracious of his blessing, used the power of the tome to unify his people and form the nation of Wyvegarde, as well as protect his home several years later. Hadron was unjustly assassinated in the defense of his home, and thus Nidhoggr had a wielder no more.

Sage Lucille, wife of the late Hadron, took it upon herself to seal away this gift of Naga until it was ready to be wielded once more. For over a millenia she kept it hidden away in the same mountain shrine where it had been discovered, keeping it a secret from all, even her children. However, the third generation of Wyvegarde rulers were born, the two "Sons of the Dragon," Glavis and Aster. Lucille took notice in Aster magical acuity, and trained him in magic while his brother ascended the throne. Eventually, after many years, Lucille gifted Prince Aster the Nidhoggr tome, sensing that he was indeed the successor to Hadron worthy of inheriting it's power and responsibility.

Okay, now this really confuses me.
Manakete are basically dragons, not dragon human hybrids. They're just dragons who have stored their power in stones and thus have taken on human forms. This whole First Manakete teaming up against the dragons is very bizarre. Did this Manakete betray his fellow dragons (Seath style)? Also Naga was a dragon why would she give a tome to someone to kill dragons.

I'm going to deny this until some corrections are made

Name: Courtney, known as Requiem
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Home Nation: Oathsworn
Allegiance paid to: Oathsworn
Class: Hero
Appearance: Average build and height. Short jet black hair. Brown eyes and lighter dark skin. Thuggish looking face. Has actual facial hair she must constantly shave.
Personality: Requiem is a brave and strong willed woman who enlisted in the Oathsworn's military as soon as she was able to. She became a distinguished soldier and worked her way up to a commanding position. She is known throughout the Oathsworn for her skill and ferocity, but those who have met her know her for her selfishness and ruthless nature. She has stepped on many people to get where she is, but she had also impressed those above her.

In truth Requiem is a remorseless individual lacking in empathy who only sees things in relation to herself. She was nothing before earning a reputation in the military. Now she wants everything to bend to her will and fundamentally seeks to never be a victim.

The Oathsworn culture gives people titles when they enter adulthood and it is considered dishonorable to refer to an adult by their birth name. Requiem is her title. Additionally she personally despises her birth name.
Skills/Powers:
Skilled fighter, especially with swords
Tactical ability
Weaponry: Swords, Axes
Biography: Courtney was born to an Oathsworn mage and had an outsider mother who became an Oathsworn through marriage and worked as a carpenter. When she was only four her parents were murdered in front of her by an assassin. Figuring out that the Hierarchs knew more about it than they let on, she vowed to one day learn the truth. She trained for eventual military service as an orphan and joined the military as soon as she could. When she became a woman she was given her sacred title, Requiem. It honored her vow to seek knowledge and justice for her parents.

Requiem quickly earned a reputation. Though disliked by other soldiers she earned the attention of the officers and the Hierarchs themselves. She was given more and more dangerous assignments and climbed the ranks with each one. After achieving the rank of Captain the Hierarchs revealed that they knew the truth about her parent's murder and that they had kept it from her as a girl to protect her. Having proven herself they revealed what they knew, that the murder was politically motivated... and nothing else. Realizing that her life had been a long shaggy dog story, Requiem decided to focus on her career. At least she could ensure that she would never be victimized again.

History:

Wyvegarde came first from the unity of the many Manakete tribes in the vast wilds surrounding the present Drago Isle. Originally these tribes had more or less held disdain or uneasy alliances with one another for, according to historical records, thousands of years. The tribes were mostly binded by the Manaketes' coloration in their true draconic forms, be it red, green, blue, or the rarer golden and silver coloration. The unifier of these clans was one of the golden Manakete. He was a warrior by the name of Hadron. His ideals of unity was first met with war from those tribes which disagreed. Hadron had brought enough of his army together with other tribes he convinced to his purpose, and in turn defeated those opposing the bond between tribes. Legend states that Hadron won using the power of the legendary tome "Nidhoggr," said to contain the power of the long gone dragons themselves. Leading alongside with a warmaiden cleric by the name of Lucille from the Azure Tribe by the sea, along with several other compatriots, he was able to unify the tribes. This brief conflict was dubbed the Golden Scales War, particularly named after Hadron and the Golden Tribe that instigated the unity.

The tribes unified under Hadron himself, crowning him their Monarch, and he took Lucille as his bride and queen. The two became the rulers of the new nation of Wyvegarde, and traveled to the heart of the tribelands, Drago Isle, to begin the construction of their capital. Construction took nearly a century for the city to be complete, which was henceforth known as "Drakenflux," the center of the nation of Wyvegarde. At the time, Wyvegarde stretched from into the wilds surrounding the Drago Isle, yet in the modern day it only truly encompasses the island itself. During the time of construction, the next generation of Manakete scions was born from Hadron and Lucille's union. The eldest, a daughter by the name of Nariah, was to become the next Monarch after her father. Lucille also birthed younger twin princes, Varin and Zavrin, who themselves were Wyvegarde royalty.

While relatively undisturbed from humankind during the nation's development, Wyvegarde was set upon by hordes of raiders from the east during the 150th year of Hadron's rule. In his older, yet still able age, he once again took up Nidhoggr to battle, this time to defend his country. The royal family, numbering five now including the offspring and Lucille, took to war with Monarch Hadron despite his pleas not to. Regardless, the queenly Lucille, having become a well respected Sage in the eyes of the nation; Nariah, who herself had become a very masterful swordswoman accompanied with her powerful transformative abilities; and the twin princes, Varin and Zavrin, who had both become powerful, noble Wyvern Knights, rushed alongside their Monarch into battle on the eastern continent of Wyvegarde. The resulting war, known as the Valiant Opposition, saw the eastern continent razed almost entirely by the seemingly never ending horse of raiders, horribly damaging the Manakete population. Yet, in the end, Hadron and his army triumphed, halting the horde just as they reached the shore of the continent and ultimately decimating the raiders' army in a final push. However, this final conflict saw the death of Prince Varin in battle as well as the assassination of Monarch Hadron upon the last breaths of the battle. While Wyvegarde was victorious in the end, they had never been more damaged. The eastern continent was never able to be salvaged, and eventually was lost from Wyvegarde, the survivors of the war retreating to live in Drago Isle.

Resulting from the Valiant Opposition, Nariah took the throne with her brother and her mother at her side as both advisors and fierce guardians. The conflict left the nation wary of humankind, and the restoration efforts from the newly crowned Monarch Nariah led efforts to ease the pain of refugees from the East, including a stark few humans enslaved by the raider horde, and help assimilate them into their new home at the Drago Isle. Her efforts made her known as a leader of compassion and love, despite her ferocity and temper during war. Many reflect that she eventually developed herself as a reflection of her mother: Sagelike, noble, and wise.

The legendary time of Nidhoggr was sealed away by Lucille, as neither those of "holy blood" bore the magical aptitude to wield it as their father had. While Lucille herself was very much able to wield its power, she didn't out of respect for her late husband, instead keeping it for the next heir worthy of wielding its power.

As years past influence in the wilds of the west waned, and eventually Wyvegarde simply retracted to the Drago Isle itself. Nariah continued to rule for centuries, and soon enough Wyvegarde made true accord with humanity outside of cautious shying away and hiding itself from the outside world. They struck peace with the nation of Jassasin, as Monarch Nariah finally overcame her due resentment for humans to ally with the nation. While she waited many years into her life, eventually Nariah married and bore children, her husband a respected knight-general by the name of Kelstadt who also fought in the Valiant Opposition. Together they had two sons in the 1000th year of Wyvegarde's existence. The eldest was Glavis, a temperamental and rather hasty child, and the youngest was Aster, a feeble, physically frail, yet exceptionally gifted child in the art of magic. In year 1150 of Wyvegarde's reign, and roughly the thousandth year of Monarch Nariah's rule, she fell ill and soon passed away. With the nation in mourning, Glavis was crowned Monarch at the age of 150, quite young by Manakete standards. Lucille, wife to the first Monarch, still lives, albeit middle aged, she is still deeply respected by all. Her son, Zavrin, became famed as a noble and strong Wyvern Lord, the final survivor from his generation of royalty. To this day he is the leading general of Wyvegarde's military.. Nariah's husband Kelstadt, and the father of Glavis and Aster, has taught them both in warfare and arms, yet Glavis takes much easier to weaponry than his brother Aster. Aster instead learned from his grandmother Lucille in private. She taught him in magic, a power almost forgotten by the loyalty since the long-gone days of Monarch Hadron. Lucille saw Hadron in the young Manakete, from his intelligence to his analytical mind to his slight stoicism yet passionate heart. While Glavis inherited the title of Monarch, Aster inherited the legendary Nidhoggr after several years of training and learning with Lucille, the true "holy blood" coursing through his veins.

It is now the 1250th year of Wyvegarde's existence. Glavis bears the title of Dragon Monarch with a rather naive, yet pure heart, while his brother Prince Aster has become a mage-in-training. While Wyvegarde is a small nation, it is not to be called a weak one, and bears history dating back centuries.

BECAUSE DRAGON = BAD

like I said I just namedropped Naga so I can swoop her out of there. Considering dragons were frame worked as the ancient big bad in history, I don't know how else to swing it. Make Manaketes evil? No.

Hey, a lot of kingdoms, a lot of princes...

Your post said one of the character's wasn't completed so I skipped it. If it's completed I'll go back.

Also Zyl I'm just wondering why these dragons turned against the dragons that the heroes killed.

I'm fine with the Naga thing, her/his appearance changes a lot. I just need some slight changes to the backstory. Maybe this Manakete saw that the dragons were up to no good and went against them. Maybe dragons and humans lived in peace, but this ancestor Manakete wanted to continue that peace while the majority of the dragons wanted them dead.

Just some minor changes for both your apps and you'll be accepted. Also damn Idubbz makes me read Nidhoggr like this

It's up to you to decide the dragon lore, I don't want to weigh in on that. And to be quite honest I know very little 'bout Naga, just that she's one of the good gods out there.

I was thinking that it might be a good idea to focus more on a main plot and a tad less sandbox. Just because since everyone's so spread apart, it might end up like Legend of Eroris and die rather quickly.
