Introduction

It has been nearly 6,000 years since the "War of Crystal's breath." Power and greed have given birth to the destruction of two continents while the remaining two continue the fight for control over all.

Arcadia and Co'Wan...

A fierce battle ensued for ten long years. In the end, the great Arcadia prevailed with the help from their army of Espers. Co'Wan was left to repent for their misdeeds in silence.

Peace followed the lands until 300 years ago. A sudden change occurred within Arcadia. A change now called, "Crystal poisoning." With the darkening of Arcadia's crystal, the "Dark Mist" surrounded the continent, bringing forth horrid beasts who attempt to feed on human souls.

Until this day, Arcadia has been cut off from the outside world. Many believe it to be a wasteland while those inside it believe the outside to be a death trap. How has the world changed since then...?



   
Isolated from the rest of the world, Arcadia has developed it's own way of life. They rely on their history, religion and farming to survive (Religion: Periven'alci is the God of water in their eyes).

    However as the years pass by, the land is becoming increasingly less fertile. The mist spreads deeper into the lands, already claiming one town. People continue to go missing as the night's get longer and the days shorter. The pure crystal flickers meekly, a sign of hard times to come as the the shards become less and less obtainable.

How can one survive in this harsh land?


Terms of Interest :

Frayal'lox - Our home world which has four continents residing. Arcadia, Co'Wan, Patheylin and Lunar.

Arcadia - The continent towards the west, surrounded by the "Dark Mist." The kingdom resides in the center, currently ruled by King E'Stien II. There are four cities/towns surrounding the kingdom.

    Barriel, a farming village to east.

    Unixel, the city of scholars lies far west.

    Ignal, city of ruins (most find it uninhabitable yet some Guilds or hunters meet and live there).

    Flashir, once a port town yet now overshadowed by the "Dark Mist."
Co'Wan - The Fire nation towards the east. Old documents say they are barbarians and amazons, or savage people if you must, who live near a volcano deep in the desert. There have also been reports of a sort of miasma in the desert, making it impossible for visitors to travel unless they use a Hover wagon. Not much else is known at this time.

Patheylin - One of the destroyed civilizations, their Crystal of Wind still shines brightly. Not much else is known at this time.

Lunar - A total wipe out has ensured after the death of their Crystal. It has long been forgotten as to what kind of Crystal they had. Not much else is known at this time.

The Mystics - A trio of stars intertwined together to form a triangle. They are said to be the source of power for the crystals. These stars have individual names.

    Amyesth being the youngest of the three.

    Fria'ier being the bravest of the three.

    Omet being the oldest and wisest of the three.

Crystal War - A war that occurred due to Co'Wan's greed for power over the other crystals. During this war, the young princess of Arcadia vanished while her father died from heartache leaving his son, Fulor III, as his successor.

Crystals - There are three known crystals; Fire, Water and Wind. Arcadia is in the care of Water while Co'Wan is protected by fire and Patheylin with Wind. The last one has long been dead and forgotten like the heroes of old. (Note: This does not mean there is no fire or wind on Arcadia. There are "mini-shards" which are copies of the originals and bred such things. Although, supplies are short as of now so there is a bit of a strain within Arcadia.)

Pure Crystal - A whole, untainted crystal.

Crystal Shards - A piece of a long destroyed Crystal.

Crystal Chaos - The complete shattering of a pure crystal can cause severe damage to the surrounding area. Like a sort of explosion, basically wiping the land away. The rare reports on this event consider it deadly.

Crystal poisoning - The darkening of a Pure Crystal. As of now, no one knows why such an event has occurred.

Water Crystal - A giant crystal about six feet high. It floats in the air circled by four smaller shards. Belongs to Arcadia, and flickers feebly.

Espers - Legendary warriors who protected Arcadia during the "Crystal War."

Dark Mist - Darkened clouds that appeared after the Crystal Poisoning. Many who go in are never heard from again due too the monsters who bred in the darkness. As of now, the mist seems to be consuming the land. Having claimed Flashir this past year.

Mist poisoning - Inhaling a large amount of dark mist can cause your soul to be tainted.

Tainted Souls - A person touched by the mist is usually a lost cause. They will change slightly at the beginning, from things like want for raw meat or traveling at night farther from their home. By the third week, they usually disappear.... never to be heard from again. There is no cure...

Monsters or Shadow watchers - They are creatures that come in a variety of shapes, colors and sizes. They tend to strike in the darkness, light usually hurts their eyes. But there have been reports of shadows walking in the daylight. Could it be true?

Shadow traps - If a town is about to be overrun with mist, sometimes it's not safe to sit near the shadows. You will be grabbed.


The White Knights - A group of seven highly trained knights in Arcadia.

    Mezma Delux - Female, late tweenties, human, black hair, blue eyes, serious, quiet, loyal to Arcadia.

    Donna Plythir- Female, early tweenties, human, passionate, naive, temperamental, loyal.

    Demir Flux - Male, late tweenties, human, short shaggy brown hair, brown eyes, joyous, loyal, honest

    Marcus Plum - Male, mid thirties, human, short sandy hair, green eyes, serious, loyal, law abiding, anal.

    Felix Ignor - Male, late forties, human, very short gray hair, black eyes, scar across left cheek, serious, loyal, a bastard.

Questions asked by Midnight (Why did she disappear!? ;.;)

What do the crystals DO, exactly? Crystals are a pure source of energy. They are what helps the lands survive. In theory, if the Crystals are destroyed then the lands will die and eventually the world will go boom.

What is the quality of life in Arcadia? Due to the isolation from the rest of the world, the quality is declining. Soil is becoming less fertile, rain less frequent, food scarce and so on.

Is it medieval-esque? Yes, they're not very advanced with tech.

Is there magic? There is, and it's becoming rarer as the years go by.

Is there anything else in particular I should know about the four town/villages surrounding the Kingdom?  
What is it like between Arcadians and Co'Wans? There is a bit of racial tension between the group. However, being as you are all pretty much from Arcadia, this will not concern you... much. =D

If you feel like there's something else I need to ask, but I just don't know what.
