Premise
In a world similar to our own in many ways and entirely different in many more, there stands the Castle. Located in what is known as the Small Wet Country Across the Sea, the Castle's walls were constructed to keep the Darke of the forest at bay. Witches, werewolves, and other creatures had been preying on the Castle's inhabitants, stealing children in their beds and causing many tragedies. But with the construction of the moat and the One Way Bridge, the citizens could rest easy. They, and their Queen, were safe.
Hotep-Ra introduced Magyk to the Castle, creating marvelous sites such as Wizard Tower and Wizard Way, as well as teaching those with magykal talent to hone their skills. Magyk is much more than science that we do not yet understand; it can be studied, it can be harnessed, and it can be used. With the ExtraOrdinary Wizard leading the Ordinary Wizards, there was peace in the Castle and prosperity. Witches, werewolves, chimeras, and the like were kept at bay. Trade that came in from the Port brought new treasures, decorating the Long Walk of the Palace.
But in a world where Magyk is real and vibrant, the problems we face become only more complex. The eldest daughter of Queen Meliscente, Princess Valda, was CradleSnatched by witches when she was very young. And while Queen Meliscente had other children, it was only recently that her eldest child was rescued and returned to the castle, over a decade later. There was much celebrating that MidSummer Feast Day, as Valda became the Crown Princess, next in line for the throne. The Royal Family of the Castle, with the throne inherited by a matriarchal system, had long been loved by the people.
Or of course, so it seemed. Under a month ago, Queen Meliscente had fallen extraordinary ill, with no Physik or Magyk being able to revive her. She had been on a trip to the Land of Long Nights, meeting with officials in order to discuss trade and relations before the Big Freeze set in. While her subjects were informed her death was caused by an unfortunate illness she caught on her trip, some believe that Darke Magyk killed the Queen. Among them is the ExtraOrdinary Wizard, Arya Rincewind.
But amongst this Darkenesse, life goes on. They grieve for the loss of their beloved queen, but Crown Princess Valda will become Queen soon enough. Her Journey, a rite of passage all Crown Princesses undergo once their mother has passed, has been completed. Witch Covens look on with apprehension at Valda's impending coronation, knowing that Valda's Coven will gain immense prestige with a Witch Queen on the throne. Young children still flock to Wizard Tower, little hopefuls just dying for an Ordinary Wizard to catch a glimpse of them and appoint them as their Apprentice. Alchemie slowly grows more and more influential in the castle, with now four Alchemists working in Alchemie Way. Scribes craft new, elaborate Live Maps that reflect the movement of each being within the Castle walls.
Yet make no mistake, my dears. Something wicked this way comes.

The Castle
Welcome to the Castle. This community has existed for centuries in the Small Wet Country Across the Sea. The Castle began as a small village where its inhabitants built a wall and a ditch around it to keep out wolverines, witches and warlocks. As time went on, the walls were expanded, and more houses were built. Later, when a baby was stolen by the Darke Forest Creatures, they worked on the wall they have now and they dug the ditch deeper. On MidSummer Day, they breached the banks between the ditch and the Moat was built.
The summer before the Moat was built, a pretty barge arrived with a young woman and three daughters. They had dark hair, violet eyes and spoke a different language. The woman was given the best house and was made Queen. Her house later becameThe Palace. She never explained where she came from or why she left.
Many years later, when one of the queens descendants was Queen, Hotep-Ra arrived and healed the Queen's daughter, who was ill. For this, he was made the first ExtraOrdinary Wizard and built the Wizard Tower.
The place where the queen and her family live. Currently, Valda and her siblings live there. Long ago, the Custodians resided there for ten years after the assassination of a former queen (Queen Cerys). At one point, it was also inhabited by a family of wizards under the rule of Queen Jenna.
The Manuscriptorium is located at Number 13, Wizard Way. It is a place where the scribes, copy and/or make incantations, potions, books, charms, spells and many more. The place is watched over by the Chief Hermetic Scribe. There are many kinds of scribes in the Manuscriptorium. It also has a hatch that leads to the Ice Tunnels. The One and All Spell is applied in the Manuscriptorium which means if one door was locked all doors were locked. Altogether the Manuscriptorium is a busy and wealthy place, because many people come and go at all times.
The Ramblings is a large building where a large amount of Castle residents live. The Ramblings spans along the river for three miles on the East side of the Castle. It houses several family rooms and some factories, shops and schools. The Forest, where the Wendron Witch Coven is located, is also near the Ramblings. The Ramblings is from a time where Castle inhabitants practised a bit of magic themselves. All the safe charms and spell that had soaked into the stones over the year kept the Dark Domaine from covering it.
The Wizard Tower is a 21-story tower where Ordinary Wizards, Apprentices, and the Extra-Ordinary Wizard live. Above the top level there is a golden pyramid with a library inside; the entrance hall has a Magykal floor that displays greetings and information to all comers. For example, if the Crown Princess were to visit, the floor would say WELCOME, PRINCESS. Transit between floors is accomplished via the Magykal stairs, which rotate; any Wizard can control them. The top two floors are where the ExtraOrdinary Wizard and the ExtraOrdinary Apprentice live. All others are for Ordinary Wizards, two to a floor. The Tower is where most of the Wizards in the Castle live. It was created by Hotep-Ra, who was the very first ExtraOrdinary Wizard.
The Tunnels - A series of tunnels underneath The Castle which were once completely covered in ice. When Alchemie returned to the Castle, the Fyre used caused the Ice Tunnels to melt. These tunnels are now more like underground rivers. These tunnels run from the castle, under the ocean, through the Peepe on the Isle of Syren, all the way to the House of Foryx.
The Great Chambers of Alchemie and Physik - Most Alchemie conducted in the Castle happens here. It is where the Fyre can burn the hottest, even serving to partially heat the Castle during the winter months.
Message Rat Headquarters - To communicate, people hire Messenger Rats. Using the spell Speak, Rattus Rattus they can have rats deliver verbal messages to friends, family, and others.
The Port is a bustling city downriver from The Castle. It lies between the ocean and the Marram Marshes, and is supported primarily by the traffic from incoming ships arriving with goods. It is an exciting and enjoyable place to many, but also perilous and more dangerous than The Castle, and is the home of the detestable Port Witch Coven. It is also known to contain a few passageways, one known as the Smugglers Bolt, which stretches from the Port to The Castle.
The Marram Marshes The Marram Marshes are located south of the Castle. Difficult to navigate and dangerous to be in, most people avoid visiting the Marram Marshes unless they absolutely must. The main reason anyone goes there is to visit the Dragon Keeper.
The Forest is a dangerous place near the Castle, because lots of dangerous creatures and witches live there. It is covered by thousands of trees and there is no residential locations apart from the Witches village.
Paths
In this roleplay, there are several paths that you may undertake. No path is superior to another, though some paths have limited space allotted to them. These paths will be marked with an *, and simply mean that you must inquire with the GM for availability. If the path does not have an *, that just means that we have no limit on how many characters can choose that path.
In addition to there being paths, there are also various stages on these paths. In most trades, you begin as an apprentice. As you study and learn, you are eventually promoted to Senior Apprentice. Once your master deems you have learned enough, you then "graduate" and become a master of the craft in your own right.
The first Queen documented in history arrived floating on a wooden barge from an unknown land and came to rest near the small village which was to be The Castle. Although the Queen practiced different rituals, ate different food, and even spoke a different language, the villagers came to respect and admire her. The villagers built a palace for the queen that was added to many times over the years.
The Queen is the head of The Castle. The royal line passes through the female. The Queen lives in The Palace. There is a slight magical element to being the Queen, as all Queens have violet eyes and are unaffected by Wizard eyes. However, most members of the Royal Family regard Magyk as being weird.
The eldest daughter of the Queen is the Crown Princess. Before their coronation, a Crown Princess undergoes a process called their Journey. This is where they learn special Magyk known only to Queens and learn more about the inner workings of the Castle. Each Crown Princess has a copy of the Queens Rules in order to guide them.
The younger daughters are then called Princesses-in-Waiting. Many Witch Covens attempt to CradleSnatch a young princess, a process which binds the child to a particular Witch Coven. The ultimate goal for the Coven is to CradleSnatch the eldest princess, as to one day of a member of their Coven become the Queen of the Castle. This would then elevate them above all other Covens in terms of power and prestige.
By tradition, members of the Royal Family wear red.
A wizard is someone with Magykal powers. Their eyes turn bright green when they are exposed to Magyk lessons. The exception to these eyes is the Queen and Queenling; their eyes stay violet even when they learn Magyk.
The ExtraOrdinary Wizard is a very powerful wizard and in charge of the Wizard Tower. There is only one ExtraOrdinary Wizard at a time and one apprentice, if they have one. The ExtraOrdinary Wizard is the Guardian of the Wizard Tower. When the ExtraOrdinary Wizard dies or steps down, the apprentice will take over as the new ExtraOrdinary Wizard. The ExtraOrdinary Wizard wears purple robes by tradition, along with the ExtraOrdinary Wizard's headband, belt, and the Akhu Amulet of Hotep-Ra.
The next highest type of wizard in terms of rank is an Ordinary Wizard. These are the most common and simply require successful completion of an apprenticeship to an Ordinary Wizard in order to obtain this rank. Some of them live in Wizard's Tower, while others elect to live with families elsewhere in the Castle. Their apprentices are the next lowest in rank. Some wizards also are born with the ability to shape shift. While they are able to freely shift when they are younger, as they grow older, they can become stuck in one form or another. Ordinary Wizards wear blue robes.
After the apprentices, there are the Sub-Wizards. They are currently in training to become Ordinary Wizards but they are not apprentices. This is because even those without magyk can be a Sub-Wizard - for example, those whose eyes never turned green. Sub-Wizards can only become Ordinary Wizards if they are born Wizards. Otherwise they remain Sub-Wizards. Sub-Wizards wear pale blue robes.
Finally, there are the Hopefulls. These are young wizards that seek apprenticeship to Wizards in the Wizard Tower and dream above all else, to become the ExtraOrdinary Wizard's Apprentice. Most Ordinary and ExtraOrdinary Wizards were Hopefulls at one point.
All apprentices, no matter what, wear a set of green robes.
Witches are Magykal persons who use, so-called, 'Natural Magyk'. Witch Magyk, unlike that of Wizards, does not require the Imprinting of Charms, as instead Witches take random influences and make up their spells as they go along. Witches seem always to have blue eyes, just as Wizards always have green eyes - this is a side-effect of the Witches' brand of Magyk. The only exception is with members of the Royal Family, as their eyes remain purple.
Further, much like the Magyk used by Wizards, Witch Magyk has a Darke and a Lyte side. The exact distinction between Darke and Lyte Witch Magyk is that Darke Witch Magyk is based around causing harm or performing unconscionable acts, and Lyte based around not causing harm or unconscionable acts.
Practitioners of Darke Witch Magyk include the Port Witch Coven. Lyte Witch Magyk is performed by White Witches; such as the Wendron Witches. The Wendron Witches are also known to use various herbs in their spells. Herbalism is a part of Witch Magyk - at least the Lyte variant as the Port Witch Coven does not often use herbs. Essentially, White Witches do not meddle with the elements of nature and prefer to use Potions and Charms.
One notable witch technique is the art of FootFollowing - this causes them to perfectly retrace a target's steps, as long as they can find three footprints. The downside is that they cannot stop until they reach their target, no matter what.
Available Covens
Wendron Witches
Port Witch Coven
Alchemie is the science of energy and creation which is paired with Physik, the science of healing. The people who study Alchemie are called Alchemists. The people who study Physik are called Physicians.
Physicians use Potions, a drinkable form of liquid Magyk made by mixing certain ingredients together. They tend to get along rather swimmingly with White Witches because of this. They require no innate Magykal talent as well and tend to live in the Forest.
Alchemists deal with transmutations of metals, such as turning lead into gold. They also claim to hold the key to eternal life. Throughout history wizards and alchemists have often quarreled, mainly because of stereotypical views of each other's professions. For example, Marcia Overstrand, the 776th ExtraOrdinary Wizard, often voiced her complaints of Alchemie being 'all smokes and mirriors' while the famous Alchemist Marcellus Pye described Wizards as 'chickens.'
Alchemists wear black by tradition and Physicians wear white.
Available Roles

Alchemie Apprentice
The Chief Hermetic Scribe is the scribe who is in charge of the Manuscriptorium. They oversee the other scribes and clerks who work there, as they copy and/or make incantations, potions, books, charms, and spells. Conservation, Preservation and Protection scribes, for example, work with restoring damaged documents to their former glory.
Scribes are incredibly important for day-to-day life in the Castle and they are also responsible for checking the Live Map (though this is primarily done by the Inspection Clerk). This map shows a real time image of the Castle and its inhabitants, allowing for threats to be monitored instantaneously. The scribes also keep a wealth of knowledge and have just about any book you could possibly need.
Scribes wear dark blue robes.

Transcription Scribe
Junior Clerk
Northern Traders come to the Small Wet Country Across the Sea from the Land of the Long Nights, once a year to trade at the Trader's Market. They traditionally leave a month before the Big Freeze comes. They are typically male, although a female Northern Trader is not unheard of.
All Northern Traders need a license from the Hanseatic League before they can trade.
Interestingly, Northern Traders are more likely than not to be Spirit-Seers. A Spirit-Seer is a person who could See ghosts. Even if they chose not to be Seen they can still see them. This is a very rare talent.
Northern Traders also often have Night Transformers. These animals take one form by day and another by night. For example, the creature may be a small ginger cat with a black dipped tail by day. At night, however, it is a sleek panther with an orange dipped tail.
Available Roles
Northern Trader
Runaway
A ghost is the form that all people and animals must take when dead. The person recently deceased must wait a year and a day in the place of their death before he or she can fully enter ghosthood. Ghosts can choose to Appear to the living if they desire. They have no substance and thus will pass through objects. Ghosthood also has its laws that all ghosts must follow. A ghost may also be a haunting spirit such as a Spectre or a Shadow.
They have numerous abilities, such as choosing if they wish to be Seen. However, a Spirit-Seer can alwaysSee a ghost, no matter what.
Available Roles
You have to die first - so, hopefully none!
Magyk
Magyk refers to the powers of wizards and witches. These include the ability to sense things and to cause others to forget things. Most people can perform a few basic spells but in order to do more advanced forms of Magyk or Darke Magyk, a person needs to have talent at Magyk. Magykal talent has a chance of occurring in anybody but being related to other people with the talent will increase that person's chance of having it through inheritance. The seventh son of a seventh son is said to have extraordinary Magykal powers.
Wizards' eyes become green when they are exposed to Magyk. The Heap Children as an example used to have either blue or grey eyes but their eyes turned green in color once they had learnt enough Magyk. Witches' eyes can vary although the most powerful witches always have blue eyes. Zelda Heap is a good example with her sky blue eyes which indicate that she is a white witch. Warlocks are male witches (rare) so they also have blue eyes. Witches, unlike wizards can be born with their magical eye color or develop it later.
Using Darke Magyk affects Magykal green eyes and gives them little flecks of black until eventually the green is lost. Ultimately, whether or not a person's eye color will change depends on two things: their ability to do Magyk since non-magykal peoples' eyes won't change no matter how much Magyk they are exposed to. Or in the case of with the talent for Magyk - the amount of Magyk that they are exposed to.
Frequently, but not always, Darke Incantations are Reverse chants, which are almost always evil, and only make sense if read backwards, hence their name. Usually alchemists use and explore Darke more than wizards.

Special - To New Comers To The Guild - Pm The Gm for a tid bit to add under extras instead
Character Sheet
Please read through the instructions for this character sheet carefully. There are some sections that you cannot fill out until the character has been approved by the GM, as I'll be giving you the information to put in those sections (such as the Darke name and occupational skills). I also recommend completing your general skills after you have received your occupational skills, as there cannot be any overlap.
And to nip this in the bud, you must pick one of the Paths above. Foreigners can currently only be from the Land of Long Nights. Other Paths will become available throughout the RP, but we're starting with these main ones for now. Additionally, I've created example character name banks to help you get a "feel" for the naming styles in this period. It's very much a mixture of common English, Latin, and Faux-Medieval. The exception is the Land of Long Nights - those names are much more Norse in feel, such as names like Snorri.

Relation Sheet
You will record your thoughts and opinions on other characters. To start the RP, you are required to have one relation to start with. If you're having trouble coming up with one, let me know and I can sort it out for you. There'll be periodic moments throughout the RP where I ask that you update these.

@Morose Am I interested? Hmmm, I don't know. DUH!! XP I better get to finishing up my characters. I am sticking with my psychopathic warlock Malekith and my newer creation of Lyra a badass warrior lady-in-waiting. :3
So I am definitely interested. Many of the RPs I am in on here are PMs so if you require a private writing sample or something I guess let me know? I will PM for the extra lists as mentioned above. I'll be making a submission to play a foreigner and possibly for the wizard's apprentice if two is required.
@OfWindAndRain It's a high-casual RP. All of the detail is to let you guys see the world that your characters would live in. If you do not like this RP, I kindly suggest that you refrain from posting in here.
I am very much interested, right now my character idea is either a physician that has little to no innate magic, possibly with Northern trader heritage. I also am partial to the idea that he was born blind in one eye.
Heeeeyyyyaaaa, I love the setting. I haven't read any of the books, only what's here - it still got me.
If I can still join, I'm thinking of an Ordinary Wizard (Wizzarde?) or a witch. I haven't made up my mind about which Coven, yet - it might depend on what each can do with magic. Is there a difference in what they can do?
@greenvoid Yup, spots are still open :D The primary difference is the Wendron Witches live in the Forest and don’t practice any Darke Magyk, while the Port Witch Coven is in the Port town near the Castle and does almost exclusively Darke Magyk
@Morose Would you be willing to let me take on the [ Royalty - Prince ]? Just asking before I can develop their character. Interested since I have the first three books on my bookshelf and was thinking that I might reread them since this popped up.
@WanderingSpirit Yup. I am willing to add on one additional prince. The Royal Family currently has two princesses (Luna and Valda), and one prince (Myrus). I’ll be posting the OOC in the morning but please do send me a PM so I can give you the rough outline/timeline of the Royal Family as it stands currently
