Welcome to Vradia

@WhiteAngel25 Cool, thanks! I'll get a character up asap.

Welcome to Vradia

Hello. This game looks interesting. May I join?

The Shadow over Old Caledon - Open for Applications

@TRES I would start by introducing my character in a scene related to the setting; describe the scenery, have him/her experience something or perhaps interact with someone. I would base that experience or interaction on one of the themes of the setting and develop my character by showing him/her react to or comment on it. Then, I'd pick one of the openings from the articles in the OP and describe how my character intends to engage with it.

As stated in the OP, you can tag me in the post if you feel that your character is doing something in it that forwards the plot, or needs a referee to judge the outcome. Otherwise, you're free to just start your story.

I hope that helps!

@Fuzzybootz Looking forward to it! I'm eager to get started!

Thorne "Tanglebeard" Calabra

Tanglebeard, despite the unexpected confrontation, remains undeterred. The spectral figures, ancient and formidable, were a testament to the importance and sanctity of the knowledge they guarded. A challenge he relished. He stroked his tangled beard, each knot and twist a testament to his experiences, and the beard seemingly responded by pulsating with a subtle glow of magic.

The riddle echoed through the chambers, and Tanglebeard closed his eyes, allowing the words to seep into his consciousness. He replayed the riddle in his mind, savoring each word and feeling its essence. His robust intellect and his profound understanding of the arcane began working in tandem.

"I'm wielded in battle but never held," he murmured softly, "I dance through the night but sleep in the day, I'm found in the darkness, yet light is my way."

After a moment of contemplation, his eyes snapped open, reflecting a glint of realization. With a confident voice, he addressed the spectral guardians, "The answer is 'Moonlight'. It dances through the night and is absent during the day, used metaphorically in battles of dark and light, found in the darkness of night yet is a source of light itself."

The guardians paused for a heartbeat, their ethereal forms shimmering as they processed Tanglebeard's response. The anticipation in the chamber was palpable. Would they deem the answer correct, allowing Tanglebeard and Eldan to delve deeper into the mysteries that lay ahead? Or would they stand as a formidable barrier, halting their progress in their pursuit of the Rune of the Silver Moon? The fate of Veridian, in many ways, depended on the outcome of this initial challenge.

DM @Red Wizard

Thorne "Tanglebeard" Calabra's insight and understanding of the mystical essence of the festival does not go unnoticed. Among the scholars and mages that inhabit the grand library, whispers begin to circulate about the inquisitive Dwarf who dives into texts that have been untouched for generations.

As the night progresses and the Moon's Awakening reaches its crescendo, Tanglebeard's keen senses detect an unusual shift in the arcane energies that permeate Veridian. A subtle dissonance, a rift in the weave of magic that could signify something extraordinary or foreboding.

As Tanglebeard stands contemplating this oddity, a figure approaches, wrapped in a hooded cloak that seems to absorb the light around it. The figure, recognizing the uniqueness of Tanglebeard, introduces themselves as Lorekeeper Eldan, a guardian of Veridian's ancient secrets.

"Lady Seraphina has seen your interest in our sacred texts and the mysteries of the Moon's Awakening," Eldan says in a hushed tone, glancing around as if fearing to be overheard. "She believes you may be of assistance in uncovering an ancient prophecy tied to this very night. Would you lend your robust intellect and arcane understanding to aid us, Master Tanglebeard?"

The request is both an honor and a challenge. The festival's anomaly and the intrigue of ancient prophecies call to Tanglebeard's adventurous spirit, but the path ahead promises to be fraught with peril and mystery. How does he respond?

Thorne "Tanglebeard" Calabra, unfazed by the grandeur and the electric energy of the bustling city of Veridian, wears a cryptic smile on his face, with his twinkling eyes almost hidden under his bushy brows and the chaos of his magic-imbued beard. As the festival of the Moon's Awakening kicks off, his heart thrums with anticipation, not just for the revelry that's about to unfold, but also the inevitable dangers, and more importantly, the potential glory that could be claimed.

In the thick of the crowd, the stout Dwarf Rune Mage moves with the grace of a cat, his every step laden with intent, all the while whistling a jovial tune that's infectious to anyone nearby. Despite his rugged charm, most people give him a wide berth, unknowingly respecting the invisible aura of authority and power that shrouds him.

He pays a visit to the city's grand library first, pouring over the arcane texts and ancient runes about the Moon's Awakening, seeking to understand the event's underlying magical forces. His robust intellect and knowledge of the arcane enable him to spot details that elude many others. While others are blinded by the festival's beauty and lured by its festivities, Tanglebeard is drawn to its mystical underpinnings.

Later, as the city revels in the festival, he stands in a less crowded corner, observing the celebration with an almost childlike fascination. The soft moonlight illuminating his tangled beard makes it shimmer, knots and tangles coming alive with magic stored within. His mysterious aura is further magnified under the ethereal glow, as if he's a creature not entirely of this world.

Tanglebeard knows that during times of such intense magical activity, anomalies and irregularities can arise. They might pose dangers, yet they also offer opportunities for glory. And he is more than prepared to face both. His hearty laughter and festive cheers occasionally ring out over the clamor of the city, a testament to his jolly disposition that belies his readiness for the trials that may come.

The Dwarf Rune Mage fully embraces the festival of the Moon's Awakening in his own way, ready for the dangers that it may bring and yearning for the glory that awaits him. He does not just merely participate in the event; he immerses himself in its essence, feeling every pulse of magic, hearing every whisper of the ancient runes, understanding the true depth of the festival, and ultimately, making it a part of his very being.

@TRES Why, thank you! You may certainly join, just submit your character here. And no, the setting is not based on Arcane, but rather on the old classic CRPG Arcanum. I did enjoy the Netflix show, but it is not the feel or style I'm looking for this time.
