The Dance of Chaos [OOC-Fantasy-OPEN]

[Tracian Empire]

Gonna tag this. Not sure if I'll join it but at the very least I'm interested enough to watch the IC unfold from the sidelines

Well, you're certainly welcome to join it or even just to watch

As I said, I absolutely love these apps, accepted!

I'll still have to think about the specifics of the Walpurgisnacht, since I'm thinking about making it a different event from the Blood Moon, but the fact that cursed beings are most powerful during the new moons is clear xD

[Nea Videssos]

How long ago did Thyria exist, and when did its fall occur? I get the impression it was a long time ago, but there doesn't seem to be much info about it.

[Tamrida]

Alright, both apps look alright to me, accepted!

One question I have though is related to magic. It's clear that you're using D&D magic, and I have to see how it would fit into this world's magic, because at least so far, we've used enchantment to refer to magic that can give certain proprieties to objects. From what I'll seen though, it seems that the magic used by Ilrorth seems to be able to control and affect the minds of others, is that right?

Yes, that is correct. The magic is supposed to "enchant" (aka charm) others. I assumed that it might have a problem with the other kind of enchantment magic, the one you are describing, but couldn't think of a different name for it.

[Zapatha]

Did you review the changes I made Trace, because I fixed the thing I got wrong (don't remember what it was exactly lol)

You didn't edit the things that we discussed, as far as I'm aware

I did

Well, I never specified it because I'm not sure. I think that the current year will most likely be year 6177 after the Calamity.

It's just that.. too much time might have passed ever since the fall of Thyria

I doesn't have a specific name for the time being, but we'll think about it

No, you didn't. The edited app that I found still clearly mentions Arthur as one of the Seven Heroes.

[Zapatha]

Name:Arthur von Schmidt
Age:77 (Stopped aging at 23 when he took up the sword Lightbringer
Gender:Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Race:Human
Appearance:6’4, 225 lbs, long, blonde hair and sky blue eyes.
https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0381/2 ... 369340.jpg

Position/Status/Affiliation: Arthur is a "Champion" of the goddess Aurora, which means he is blessed with special abilities that normal mortals do not possess. As one First Servant of the Dawn, Arthur is devoutly loyal to the goddess Aurora and leader of the order of The Scripture of the Morning Star. Arthur fought in the war against Achisia and helped defeat the servants of evil. During the war, he served as a commander of a portion of Velikiya’s armies during the War of the Seven Nations. Currently, he is embroiled in the war of succession in Velikiya after his cousin, Krai Wilhelm, died due to the Cults of Sin.

Skills/Powers//Magic: Arthur is a skilled warrior, having had almost 70 years of training and experience to his name. Arthur wields his sword Lightbringer, which can only be used by him. The sword’s blade is made of pure, blue light that only Arthur has the ability to conjure. The blade can rip through armor quite easily, and as a magical weapon harms creatures such as demons much more than any normal weapon (aside from a relic). The sword also helps him control his power and channel it, as it can sometimes be hard for Arthur to contain his mana and use it effectively.

Magic- Arthur is blessed with a powerful light magic unique to him as a Champion of Aurora, as he can use it to blind enemies, banish demons back to Hell, shield himself from magical attacks, and conjure white fire. Arthur also has a mastery over healing magics. Arthur’s mana reserves are enormous, though he is just limited to the magic which Aurora blesses him with.

Physical abilities- Arthur has enhanced strength and endurance, amplified with his wielding of Lightbringer. Arthur also seems to age at a glacial pace or not at all, which may be attributed to his wielding of his blessed sword or some other forces. He also has a rapid healing ability, though it doesn’t rebuild limbs or entire organs.
Equipment-
-The magical sword Lightbringer
-A very light yet durable set of steel plate armor
-A pack full of survival gear for life in the wilds


Personality: Arthur is a very charitable and chivalrous person, but also secretive. Arthur is a devout follower of Aurora, and claims that his devotion to her is what drives him to do good and pacify evil and darkness anywhere he can find it. This is both good and bad, as in his quest to destroy evil Arthur becomes blind to any innocents he harms in achieving his goals. Arthur also has a sense of superiority over the needs of others, however is still a compassionate person.
Moral Alignment: Good, though secretive
Biography: Arthur was born a noble of a prominent Velikiyan house,. He grew up learning how to govern and lead men, and to always regard Aurora as his favored goddess as his father was a veteran knight of the Scripture of the Morning Star. Arthur never knew who his mother was, and his father never told anyone either so it was just assumed that Arthur was just another bastard son. When he was 13, Arthur first picked up a sword and trained in combat and light magic by some of the best fighters and mages Velikiya could offer. When he was 23, Arthur had become head of his House upon his fathers’ death, which had come under some mysterious circumstances. After investigating further into his death, Arthur learned that a knight of the Scripture of the Morning Star had taken up the investigation of his father’s death as well. He learned from a bar keeper at a remote village that the knight had gone to a nearby ruin to investigate. The keeper said that the knight was in a rush, and seemed to be looking over his shoulder incessantly as if someone- or something- was following him.

As Arthur rode his steed to the ruin, he was overcome with a feeling of darkness and dread, and then he saw them. Three creatures stood over the battered body of the knight, all three of them seething with dark power and flames licking all around them. Just as Arthur was about to run, all three daemons sensed his presence and closed in on the young noble. Arthur picked up the Knight’s sword near him, and prepared to face his fate. Arthur charged at the daemons, who in turn unsheathed their demonic weapons and swung at Arthur. The next memory that Arthur had was seeing the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, surrounded by a radiating light. She walked to him, and kissed his forehead.

Arthur then woke up, realizing he was wearing an intricately designed steel armor and felt power surging within his veins. As the daemons looked at Arthur dumbstruck, he realized that his blade had been broken by the daemons’ own weapons. As the daemons closed in on Arthur, he instinctively grabbed the sword’s hilt and was awed when he saw a blue flame appear once he held it. Just as he did this, he swung his blade at a blinding speed even the daemons couldn’t catch up with, decapitating all three of them on the spot. On that day, Arthur realized his true destiny, which was to be a knight and eternal servant of Aurora, who he believes is who he saw in his “dream”. Ever since then, Arthur has gone on to become one of the greatest knights of his order, and has been serving as its head for almost 40 year. Recently, Arthur has uncovered a plot to destabilize Velikiya into civil war and replace its leader with a Prince who allegedly has ties to the Cult of Sins.
Goals: To serve Aurora in any way he can; end the Velikiya’s civil war and fight the Cult of Sins

Well, I still lack a comprehensive timeline, but it's actually going to be year 5024 after the Calamity.

I just copied and pasted this, I did edit it. You're looking at the older post I believe.

What's edited here? You have removed mentions of Arthur being one of the Seven Heroes, but there are still some mistakes, including spelling mistakes, like the different forms of Lightbringer. It also hasn't been updated in order to respect the recent lore, like the changes to the former Knightly Orders - you still have mentions of the Knights of the Dawn, and the ruler of Velikiya is known as a Krai.

Okay then, if a new name can be made later then there really isn't a rush.

Also, I just noticed your signature. I really like it!

[Tracian Empire]

I'll try to at least make a sketch of a timeline tonight. Videssos, if you'll need any help with your app or lore work, feel free to ask!

If you haven't guessed, I am a King Michael fan.

Well, I've put it there in the day when he died. I'm a Romanian monarchist, and King Michael was probably the man that I respected the most.

Cool. I am not Romanian, but I am somewhat of a monarchist and appreciate that I am not the only one who really knew who he was.

Well, not many people know him outside of Eastern Europe, but he is a national hero here. And more people should learn about him and about what he has done.

Good to hear. I tend to be decent at lore building, so I can probably help with a bit of that too.
As for me going on about wanting to know about timeframes and stuff, it's largely due to one of my main concerns being around uncertainties regarding established background outside of the lore section/page, what might clash or not, and how exactly my old Finnish-inspired kingdom fits into the history of Velikiya and the world in general.

Also not Romanian (being British), but also a monarchist here.

Well, coming from the US, I can confirm that virtually none of the people I know are aware of King Michael, outside of my Russian friend (who doesn't like monarchists), and the Hearts of Iron community, where Michael is both a legend and a meme.

[Charlia]

*raises hand*

I'm American, and I've heard of King Michael.

...only because of Trace though.
