Luna Crescente
A sizable village surrounded by a crescent shaped lake. Waterways flow freely alongside the streets and the people are highly festive. It's position as a sort of crossroads between major cities makes it a merchants paradise. However, the towns most famous for housing two wizard guilds whose rivalry has earned them recognition, respect and a bit of infamy.
Harpy's Wing
Harpy's Wing was founded in order to provide those who have lost their homes a new nest and a place to belong. Harpy's Wing believes in the strength of a guild as a collected force and encourages the harmony between wizards and magic. The Harpies guildhall sits on a small island in the lake that surrounds Luna Crescente. A towering tree, a beacon calling the lost to it, it exemplifies the guild's value of harmony as a astounding fusion of nature and architecture.
Golem's Hand
Golem's Hand was founded more recently in the aftermath of a dark guild's assault on Luna Crescente. While Harpy's Wing was able to defeat them, the town did not come out of the ordeal unscathed. Viewing themselves as the sole protector of Crescente, Golem's Hand believes in the strength of the individual adding another stone brick to the defensive wall of the town. They have high respect for the art of magic but view it as more of a tool and focus on the strength of one's body in order to escape reliance on one's magic.
Story Thus Far
S&E focuses on the rivalry between the guilds of Harpy's Wing and Golem's Hand. Two of the strongest guilds in Fiore, they've been feuding for quite some time. It doesn't help that their guild halls both reside in Luna Crescente, Golem's Hand near the middle of the town and Harpy's Wing just outside on a small island in the middle of the lake. With differing ideals and passionate members, both guilds are eager to prove which is stronger in the next Grand Magic Games~!
My RP Vision
S&E operate as a sandbox RP. I will be developing larger story arcs but I want this RP to be character focused and allowing us to tell individual stories without being chained down by the overarching plot. Everyone will have the ability to create smaller arcs centered around their character and I highly encourage collaboration with those you might want involved. Whether that means another player's character is a key player in yours' story or they're just along for the ride. This RP is about the characters and the guilds themselves. How will they grow and how will Harpy and Golem overcome their diffirences?
