Tales of Arcadia




Pardon my sudden intrusion, but I have some information that you may find quite relevant. This world before you, is called Arcadia. Or at least, that was the name it had in the past.

Many centuries ago, this world was a unified realm with one king, populous and prosperous. They say that it was once filled with magic, and that there no were beasts or fiends lurking around waiting to devour you. Such days have long passed and are just mere stories now, fables of a golden period that we tell to our children.

Not many are sure on why the old world fell. Some involved a calamity; a large meteor, a destructive earthquake, or a great firestorm that enveloped the land. In others the king had gone mad, rebellions ensued and the unified world became split into seven regions. A few tales involved a wicked witch who cast a curse upon the land.

The time of the unified realm is now nothing but fragments of recorded history and the only proof we have of the time when the world still had magic are the relics from the past. Mysterious ancient artifacts from the golden age forged under orders of the one King, now scattered all around the wide world. Legends say that when all one hundred relics are brought together that magic would return to the world and the successor to the king would reveal himself. Sadly, that day has yet to come.

Although this may sound absurd, destiny has somehow lead you here. Plucked out from your own reality, you will be blessed with a relic of your own and be plunged into the world of Arcadia.

Looks interesting, I'm in. Just two questions, How did we enter arcadia? Did we wake up there, entered some magic portal on our way to school/work, depends on the individual? And will we pick a relic from a list or we will create one in our Cs?

@Fourze You can come up with how you ended up in Arcadia. I enjoy the type of creativity that's put into minor things like those. For the relic, you can make one. If ever I notice anything that doesn't fit the setting, I'll just mention it.

What is the race situation, or are we all humans?

@Hawlin For now, everyone will be human. Just to set the mood of being an otherworldly being to the locals of Arcadia. However, during the RP, options to change one's appearance will be available to those who wish to do so. :3

Awh, so no half-giants from the frozen north?

@Hawlin Sadly, none. :c

But you could get a relic that makes you larger? Maybe the giants would respect you after that?

Aaw, I want to be an elf.

Well, I'm thinking my relic would be one that grants shapeshifting abilities but I'm not sure how useful that would be.

@Hammerman Maybe in the future?

That's doable, the only question is how powerful the shape shifting would be. Relics will gradually strengthen over time, so a progression in the ability it grants also improves along with it.

A question: how are ballistics in this world? Bow and arrow/crossbow or are there firearms, early or otherwise?

@Bushman501 For now, nothing too intricate. Think crude long ranged weaponry along with bows and crossbows.

@Gobby

Hmm~

This looks fun.

I'll see if I can think up a relic...so many RPs with the potential to be good popping up all over the place >_>

I really should learn the meaning of the word 'Self Control' xD

EDIT:
Hrm, I'm thinking some sort of Relic that gives one the ability to control/communicate with Undead, or possibly some sort of gloves that allow one to create ghost servants of various levels...

Would possibly become a lich or a wight later, depending maybe.

Ah, decisions decisions...
