The establishment of the grand city of Volstryggr marked the end of a lengthy and hard-fought campaign to negotiate peace among all known nations. It all began with the idealist Isaak Volstryggr, who spent his entire life advocating harmony and cooperation between all nations. His ideals included the founding of a large city where all races could live together and the many nations of the world could meet to discuss issues and concerns. His charisma, education, and strong determination made him popular with the common folk and later on the nobility. However, just as he was gaining international fame he was assassinated in his sleep while preaching in the kingdom of Crux-Redentor. Isaak's death is now known to be attributed to a fringe, criminal group but at the time it was a topic of fierce debate.

Isaak's dream of world peace would have ended there if not for his loyal followers and his daugther Elyssa, who is documented as having "...the voice of an goddess incarnate." by several accounts. She is credited with forming her father's work and teachings into a formal, documented source in the book "The Merits of Peace.". Despite the work of Elyssa and Isaak's followers, a great deal of wars and conflicts were seen before his dream would be finally realized. It was Isaak's grandson, Alexander, that established peace across all nations and founded the City of Volstryggr along with renowned Scientist Silas Verdine. The city of Volstryggr is currently the largest and most diversified metropolis on the entire continent of Alrathi. Peace is kept in the city by a well trained police-force along with autonomous suits of magical armor, called Sentinels, and their handlers. International Politics are handled primarily by a council of nations and headed by the current Volstrygrr descendant, given the title of "Peace-Keeper". located in the city. Despite two centuries of peace, there is still discrimination and inequality in the world. It seems not everyone wishes to live in harmony.

A vicious serial-killer simply known as the 'Blood Angel' has put fear into the hearts of Volstryggr's citizens with victims near 40 total and no apparent pattern to the killings. His name derives from his tendency to flay the skin on their back to make a pair of 'wings' and the images he draws in their blood. All Sentinel handlers are expected to give any information regarding his identity priority. The investigation into these murders is headed by Vey Katama, an expert tracker within the city's police force. While the murders themselves are tragic, what little evidence they have been able to gather points to something more sinister.




Winter is descending upon the fair city of Volstryggr and its people as evidenced by the first signs of snow falling smoothly from the gray skies. A harsh wind blows in from the north where the majestic Lake Aethera resides, putting an extra sharp sting to the current temperature. The bitter cold does little to stop the citizens from proceeding with their everyday lives. It is rather difficult, after all, to think about the weather when a vicious serial killer lurks in the shadows eagerly awaiting their next victim. A trail of victims longer than any in the history of the city, every missing person's report is met with the very real fear that they may be the next victim. He is only known by the moniker, "The Blood Angel", and despite the city's best efforts remains unidentified. Every murder appears to be random with no discernible pattern in place except for one. Each victim has their backs flayed open and pinned to a wall, often decorated in their own blood. No door in the city is left unlocked and few dare to venture out at night alone. The weary faces of the city's policing force is even more evidence of the noose this mysterious killer is slowing wrapping around the city's neck.

Today there are even more police patrols than normal with Sentinel Handlers even joining in the mix. The normal commotion and noise typical for a city of this size is the tad bit quieter to those who listen and the chilly air seems somehow heavier with the weight of an event not yet known. Besides this irregularity, today is simply another day in the lives of the average citizen. Those not accustomed to the winter cold, like Ice Giants, are dressed head to toe in warm, heavy clothes. Taverns are filled with frozen patrons looking for a warm place to get a hot meal and talk about current events. Forgetful shoppers rush through the marketplace to stockpile firewood for their fireplaces and food for their cupboards. Amidst this peaceful day, a dark and dangerous secret lies hidden from public knowledge. A thin sheet of frozen dark, red blood covers the stone path of a indiscriminate alley far away from the populated streets. The body is pinned against the stone brick of a house, his back tore open like so many others and displayed in the same fashion. However, he is not the only casualty this time. The implications of this second death have raised the stakes dramatically. It is not just the citizens that are in danger. Volstryggr itself is under threat. A single message scrawled in blood is visible above the mutilated corpse:

It's still happening, real life has just been sidetracking me.
This upcoming weekend I plan on having main IC posted along with a list of known people in the city in the OOC
@rush99999

Its situated between Armintium, Anseria, and Dremoria. Its basically a City-State with the surrounding land belonging to the city.
@Nyxira

Not a bad pick at all, there's three famous vampires that live in the City known as the St.Claire sisters. Their names are Helene, Isabella, and Catherine. Helene is hardly seen out in public but her works of art are always in high demand. Isabella makes high-end and magical clothing that some would kill over. Catherine is the head of the household and manages several prominent businesses.

I will be adding a list of other important people within the city later.
Those all look really good. @Nyxira

If it helps, the main goal of this RP is to stop the Blood Angel. You'll need knowledge of mechanical devices, all kinds of magic, people skills, potion brewing, tracking, etc. to succeed.

@rush99999

You bring up a good point. Young Dragons are significantly less powerful than their adult selves but they are still formidable. The easiest solution would be simply to have the Dragon not have a sentinel. That would put everyone more or less on equal footing.

@GrizzTheMauler

Would you be willing to go without a Sentinel?
