Finding the Pray

"My dearest Reader,
By the time you read this letter I will be gone, died and blown away like ashes to the wind. My bones will return to the earth and be born in something new. So I leave this, though it may be small, piece of my world for you. My name is Alexandra Thortan. I was a young noble girl when the war hit the world. We were beautiful then, a little short of peace. There was a need of for protection from the basic needs of creatures. However, they were just trying to survive. Taking a human life was no different than picking a stoke of corn for them. Dragons, elves, wolves, shape shifters, they were all apart of my world. I'm uncertain if they will be apart of yours. Every life is beautiful and worth living. Please don't think you are worthless. You have survived and thats more then what many others will say.

It started on the first snow fall two hundred cycles ago (200 years ago in winter). The kings of the four different regions, Aron of the Ash, Tristen of Reforia, Felix of Resthaven, and Samona of Ferox, decided that they were no longer happy with their land. In a battle of resources and land they went to war. This will be the death of my world, and hopefully it will bring beauty to the start of yours. I pray you will never have to see this war. Fields, trees, mountains, painted red and black with death. 

Remember everything is precise and every life is worth living.

Yours forever,

Alexandra Thortan."

This letter is everything that we now have left of this world. Everyone knows the stories that are whispered through the rocks of our worlds. The trees buzz with old stories of how they housed millions of creatures in their lifetimes. However, this letter is missing one very important fact. The fifth nation, The Pray, the paradise that wasn't affected by the war. I will get there one day. To bask in the sun without worry of melting in what is now the Ash. To swim in clear water. I will find this place, and hopefully I will find someone to share this place with.

Universe Information

A visual
It is pretty much exactly what it sounds. When it was in its prime it was a land with patches of magma and was covered in volcanoes of all activity. It was best known for its minerals and precise gems. Mining was it's basic economy and the people were very hard working. Their leader, Aron, was strict and inspired his people to be the best that they could. They were the richest country with the most trades. However, this lead to greed and they turned to the rest of the world for more resources instead of trades. They are the only nation, other than the Pray, that didn't undergo a name change over the centuries. This is probably due to the fact that the war turned the Ash into a wasteland. Creatures of fire and air live here. There is little green, and traveling through this land can be hard between the hardened, sharp, igneous rocks, and the soft molten ground. Some say that the  phoenix hides here, where it can't be bothered by those looking to pluck its feathers for some extra coin.

A visual
Anamata was renamed shortly after the war ended. It was a jungle based world that many large land mammals, creatures, and earth beasts stayed because of the abundance of food. The people also used this as a trad system. With furs and many luxury animal pieces including horns, teeth, and meat cuts. There main city was built against a mountain that is no longer standing. In it's prime it was called Reforia, the Rain forest nation. Outsiders needed a permit in order to kill anything within the forest, unless in self defense reasons. Tristen had been very clear that all kills must be reported as to maintain population. They were the second wealthiest and the most visited country. The people happily greeted newcomers, unless you gave them a reason not to like you. When it came to the war, it was ultimately the other nations that pushed them into the war, they were the last to join. However, ever creature joined in to fight for what was theirs and in the end their home became over run and dangerous for those who couldn't protect themselves. The animals reclaimed and over populated, becoming feral. Traveling here today would mean giant foods and animals. Many will attempt to go in for food.

A visual
Terra, otherwise known as Ferox, was a simple nation with a little bit of everything. They had mostly farmers and lived peaceful lifestyles. The odd giant or dragon would come about and terrorize a few towns, maybe eat a few livestock, and go about there days. The forests in Ferox were believed to have their own voices and would keep the memories of time hidden within them. All kinds of races were welcome here and their land was the only one ruled with a queen at the time the war began. It was through their need for lumber and fertile soil that they went into the war.

A visual
Formerly known as Resthaven, this nation had always been a desert, with underground water wells and patches of of rare plants. They were built on spices and had strong trade relations with Ferox. Their horses were known for being the fastest and most durable and their woman the most enchanting. If one was not in the spices they were in magic, most dabbled in both. Once the trades fell with Ferox, Resthaven was no longer traveled to, food no longer came. The people and creatures were forced to fight for a home and food

A visual
The paradise land, that which was untouched by war. It is said to be in the "very center of the planet. Where rock meets water, fire meets air, and their is enough food and land to house the world." There is no documentation of this place, some say it was a rumor that was developed when the war was just about about over. When creatures of all kinds, at least the remaining ones, needed something to believe in. The tales of this land are sang about and dark war tales are littered with the possibility of the Pray being real. No one has found it, or at least no one has found it and left of tell the rest of the world, who would?

Announcements

Welcome everyone to Finding the Pray. My name is VerusEbuillo, Ebby is perfect, unless quoting is needed of course. I might periodically update this portion, but I will let you know. We can also use this section for a bestiary once we get going. I will state now that I love to inspire creativity in my fellow role players, and feedback is awesome. If you think I am missing something or that something just in not right. Let me know via pm and I can correct it, or simply explain our logics on an issue.

Once we have established our crew and began the role play I would love to put the status of my role players. For example, if you are going away for Christmas, or don't think you can get to the computer for the week Christmas and new years are on, perfectly fine. Shoot me a pm and I can change your status, that way we leave no one going "Omg, where is [insert name here]?". This is just an idea, let me know what you think.

Rules

Don't be scared to ask to correct and question me, I don't bite... much anyway
Matter cannot be created or destroyed, if you give a paragraph, we cannot give you 5.
Try to post at least three good paragraphs, and if you need help post in the ooc. There should be someone there who can give you some ideas
Communicate. No one is a mind reader, if you have an event that would be amazing TELL US! I can bet you that everyone wants to know
Post your CS in here first and once I have approved please move it over to the Character section. If I ask you to fix up a few things please do, then quote me or let me know so I don't have to keep going back to your profiles.
Violence is a yes. Gore, mmmm ok. No ones needs to read how you skinned the werewolf hide from its muscles. We get the picture thank you :)
Lately, have fun. We can all be badasses, just keep it under control. You get cut, you bleed. You get stabbed threw the heart, well unless you are some sort of worm monster with 5 hearts, you die, or become very close to.
