OH NIGHT UNHOLY
"Hark, come yonder the white snow
A winter wind with fury it shall blow
For hither shall beasts that only old know
And strike a sick poison from below"

IC INTRODUCTION
-=-
Oh, come all ye faithful. Winter has come to the Western Isles, and with its cold and darkness, arrives a new horror. A carol of madness, one conceived by an ordered chaos, crawling through the white pristine snow that has settled upon much of the land. A beast, biding its time, crawling its way up the frigid rocks.
Can you hear it? The timber sound of the jingling of bells. The crackling of fire. The whipping of the fierce bitter winds. The chorus of a thousand voices exalting a new season. It is coming. Do you not hear the scraping of rocks? The cries of animals? The rumbling above the rooftops? The smell of soot and ash? They are coming. And with their bidding, they shall bring forth a force that shall be reckoned with. A poison that shall seep through the foundations brick by brick, stone by stone, person by person, till nothing is left but the chiming of the clocks upon a silent night. A land of happiness, a happiness that they want. After all, isn’t that what we all wish for? A very... merry... existence.
You better not shout. You better not cry. You better not open your eyes. Something is coming to the Western Isles, and you wouldn’t want to end up on the naughty list.
OOC INFORMATION

Welcome to the start of an RP called Oh Night Unholy. It is a short horror-mystery themed RP centered on establishing the Cults, a conglomeration of religious cults in connection with the Arrangement, a secret global organization that will soon be revealed, that seek to establish sole domination throughout the Western Isles, either openly or covertly. They are present in all countries, the proverbial secret organizations mentioned only by conspiratorial lips and maddened witnesses. Their goals are simple,
- Destabilize nations in the Western Isles
- Take control of weak institutions due to destabilization
- Maintain secret control of all aspects of life
For this RP, we aim to establish characters, storylines, and important details with a Christmas / Horror / Mystery festive twist. An introduction to the religious cults that will play a part in the madness that will soon envelop the Western Isles. Our mission for this roleplay is to establish the Cults and to create a new plotline for the region that can be explored in further RPs in the future.
Be creative and imaginative with what you want to write. Bring conspiracy, drama, mystery, an element of horror, everything.
All nations that are a part of The Western Isles and are on the map are invited to this RP and storylines can be varied. There are no set central plots to follow, though cooperative plotlines is highly encouraged. If you have any ideas, suggestions, and have decided on what story your country will head on to, let us know. We want participants to be creative and expressive in their storylines. Think of this as a creative exercise and writing prompt. Creative liberties can and will be acceptable, however, please do keep it within realistic boundaries.
