RPG
Introduction
There are no statistics or win conditions, and instead, the constant overarching goal for each player is to explore the extensive possibilities that occur when there are no limitations on the scope of reality.
Rules
- Regarding writing style:
- The Multiverse is to be written in past-tense third person.
- Post length should follow the current activity of your current location:
- Don't write massive essay-length posts when the current activity is in single-paragraph posts. Conversely, don't interrupt essay-length interaction arcs with something much shorter.
- Do help increase the post length if you feel it is too short; but do it gradually.
- Every post should be at minimum, a complete grammatical thought with both a subject and verb.
- Proper writing technique is to be observed; correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation is expected.
- Regarding Etiquette:
- Avoid using public OOC wherever possible. Any metagaming that is necessary should be directed to the specific player using /msg <username> (a chat-only command), the Multiverse's OOC forum, or via Private Message. Metagaming destroys immersion and is often considered cheating!
- Do not force the outcome of your character's actions. You cannot, without express permission, force the outcome of your writing on another character. The Multiverse operates entirely on cooperation, so you should write all actions as your character performs them, but let the affected characters write the results of those actions as it pertains to them.
- Regarding chat:
- Use the different chat modes ("Saying" vs. "Doing" (i.e., /me <action>) to maintain a consistent, readible format.
- Try to make your "Do" message make sense -- start them with your character's name, and make it a complete sentence.
- Don't "Say" what your character is doing. It looks silly, and it reads worse!
- If you're using multiple characters at once, open multiple clients or switch between them when you post.
- Images are not permitted in any IC rooms, even if you're talking OOC. They are, however, permitted elsewhere on the activity tab and on the Multiverse's OOC forum.
- Use the different chat modes ("Saying" vs. "Doing" (i.e., /me <action>) to maintain a consistent, readible format.

As an immortal, Master is strong, silent, and solemn, driven by that which extends his life: the construct of the first fallen archangel.
A beauty found out of the wild, unsure of the world that unravels before her very eyes. Will you be the one to help ease her mind?
Embedded in dark energy is a policy known as the Execration Nonspecific Dissemination or Eradication Routine (ENDER), which behaves in some ways similar to quintessence.
A were-tiger with very topsy-turvy moods that can change on a dime. She's usually bubbly and cheerful, however, disliking being unhappy.
Simply known as Soul. he seeks life anew with another master willing to wield him.

1,024,298 postsGambit's Bar
Gambit's Bar - watering hole and premier destination for all sorts of entertainment, drunken revelry, and roughhousing. Located on a nexus point of countless overlapping realms, the building itself is outside of any individual world, though doors to it can be found all across the multiverse. The magical nature of the bar has been reinforced by technology and investment, leaving its structure about as difficult to break as the core of a dwarf star. Though fights and explosions may tear away the trim of wood, glass and wallpaper enough to reveal the ominous black material beneath, in the history of the bar it has never truly been destroyed, though representations of it in other worlds have fallen, Gambit's remains. Aiding its staff is the fact that, for those which the bar has accepted, the drink or in some cases weapon that they need is always to be found in the first place they look. Nobody has ever been able to explain why, but it's universally acknowledged as bloody useful.

You have found your way into the back store room of Gambit's Bar. You are surrounded by crates and boxes full of various types of alcohol, food, and dinnerwares.

You have found your way to the basement of Gambit's Bar. Vast quantities of foodstuffs and the hardware necessary to power a bar and nine stories of hotel are stored here, among various and sundry tools and other pieces of hardware. It's difficult to move around, as if whoever laid this place out doesn't want you to find something.

7,054 postsSide Alley
The side alley outside Gambit's Bar leads to Main Street, but here it is dark, with tall apartment complexes and commercial buildings rising over both sides of the alley in a claustrophobic enclosure. The street is littered with broken bottles and garbage, and the whole place has a certain stench to it. Moving further away from Main Street will only lead to a dead end.

A brownstone on the corner of Luna and Liber, the home is decidedly modest compared to its neighbors. It boasts well-tended azalea bushes beside the three stairs leading to the wooden door with a bronze, old-fashioned knocker. There is no doorbell. Inside, there is a welcome mat and a series of black and white photographs on the walls, interrupted only by one color picture. In the main entryway, there are stairs leading upstairs, a dining room to the left, and a living room to the right. Each are full of antique furniture and decorations.

30 postsLectre Mansion Grounds
This open field is surrounded by pine and oak trees. There are lights strung between the trees lighting the area. The light reflects and refracts off of the dew in the grass. This area is also lit by the moonlight.
10 postsLectre Mansion Main Hallway
The hallway is barely lit by the hanging candle chandeliers above. The dark wallpaper is slowly peeling off. The hallway runs on for about 100 feet. Rising slightly in the middle, then returning to normal elevation. The hallway end at two 20 feet dual doors. There is a spiral staircase towards the middle leading to the second floor.

This room holds a massive canopy bed, a fireplace, and a book case. There is a book sticking out from the bookcase.
4,463 postsCanti's Diner
This is your typical, decently sized diner. Painted in the traditional red and white with speckled Formica countertops. The smell of freshly baked pies fills the air from the small display case by the front entrance. Booths line the walls to the north and south while a few tables mottle the floor down the center. To the back of the diner is a small countertop with swivel stools and an old Wurlitzer jukebox.
58 postsCanti's Diner: Kitchen
This is a fairly small kitchen, immaculate and possessing all the tools and ingredients required to make the most difficult dishes or the simplest snacks. Completely constructed of stainless steel and white tile, this kitchen has a the subtly of your home kitchen with the functionality of a commercial kitchen. An Employee entrance can be seen to the north.
91 postsWing City Spaceport
You have arrived at the grand Wing City Spaceport, where all space-faring traffic in and out of the city arrives. There are launch towers for older models of spacecraft, and quantum-distortion field panels for the newer gravitational assistance system.
9 postsWing City: Western Gate
Before you is the majesty of the western entrance to Wing City. While not as grandiose as the main gate, it nevertheless possesses a sort of spare and functional beauty, almost as if an old friend is holding their arms out to you and asking for a hug.
18 postsWestern Boulevard (Promenade)
Between the western gate of Wing City and the lead-in to the Wing City Gardens exist a dizzying assortment of start-up businesses and other attractions, as entrepreneurs seek to capitalize on people either returning from or traveling to the beach near Wing City Lake not too far from here.
24 postsWestern Boulevard (Gardens)
Around you is the smell of freshly mowed grass and carefully pruned orchards. It's not as pretty as it is in the Wing City Gardens proper, but it makes for a relaxing atmosphere on the trip back and forth between the city and the beach.
11 postsThe Damodred Mansion
Home to the Damodred family, an organised criminal sect within Wing City. Decadently decorated and heavily secured, most visitors to this extravagant building are personal guests of the family, and kept under armed guard. Otherwise, they'd best hope they don't get caught...
6 postsHidden Damodred Base
Concealed beneath a statue, easily pushed aside along a groove in the floor, this trapdoor leads to a high-tech and thriving hub of criminal activity.
10 postsWing City Library
A large, multiple-story building with floor-to ceiling mahogany bookshelves, chock full of the finest literature available to all of the Multiverse.
17 postsWing City Business District
The business sector.
2 postsOmniCorp HQ
The modern and imposing OmniCorp headquarters building is one of the tallest buildings in the city. Smooth glass forms the majority of its exterior, giving those within an impressive view of the city. Fifty seven floors high, the entire building is conservatively decorated with modern fittings and well-placed ornaments and plants. Security personnel are clearly visible patrolling the corridors of the non-public areas, and high-tech security systems are in place: cameras, sensors and advanced AI.
0 postsOmniCorp HQ: CEO's Office
The Office of Kynala Evantus, CEO of OmniCorp, resembles a penthouse suite more than it does an office. Extravagantly decorated and incredibly secure, exiting the elevator takes you to the office of her secretary. Only through her can the door into the rest of the floor be unlocked.
1 postsOmniCorp HQ: Roof
The roof of OmniCorp HQ is kitted out with a helipad, complete with an advanced helicopter. The only access is through the CEO's office, and a secure service elevator.
0 postsOmniCorp HQ: Secure Facility
Beneath the building's public areas is one of the most secure facilities that OmniCorp possesses. Of course, very little of any import goes on here. Having the facility under the headquarters would just be obvious. However, it is the area where the building's security is managed, and the only way into the service elevator that reaches the roof without passing through the CEO's office.
481 postsGovernment Center
You have entered a towering white building with Greek, Turkish, and Moorish architectural influences. It has white columns as well as domes, spires, and Moorish archways with thin pillars. Inside, the floors are a peach-colored marble, the ceilings reaching, and the lights soft and low, allowing the multitude of windows to filter natural light into the space. To venture past the lobby, one must pass through a metal detector and x-ray scanner, and receive a visitor's pass from the security booth. There is a marked military presence, as the TAF has assigned a small unit to provide additional security in the wake of an elevated security threat. A row of golden-doored elevators leads upstairs.
0 postsGovernment Center Second Floor
On the second floor of Government Center, Parliament's chambers and the Prime Minister's office are housed. The hallway boasts Terran paintings and sculptures and doorways to some temporary offices.

On the dais are several ceremonial seats. Members enter through enormous, decorative wooden double doors in the back of the room, only visible from the galleries on either side of the chambers. There is a camera placed inconspicuously high in the dome. Each desk sports a shinny brass plaque with one of the names of the Ministers.
3 postsTerran National Library and Archives
The National Library contains books on topics as diverse as genetic engineering and poetry, janissaries under the Ottomans and differential calculus, war tactics and linguistics, and arcane magic and spacecraft physics. It also contains the archives of the Terran National Government, and copies of edicts passed by Parliament. You can find recordings of speeches by leaders as well as other government documents and forms. The library's home is the entire first floor of Government Center's East Wing. It is an enormous space with impossibly high ceilings, and floor to ceiling windows between twenty-foot tall stacks containing the books. There are tables and chairs in nooks beneath windows and in a few open spaces. The reference desk is crammed between stacks. The carpet is a dark blue, and the walls wood-paneled except where the windows allow natural light to reveal the dust accumulating on the books.

0 postsGovernment Center Basement
An eerie-looking, concrete structure with steel reinforcements and some trinnium work, this level is entirely restricted access.
0 postsSecure Communications Center
You are greeted by an array of advanced-looking computers and monitors, flashing lights, and technicians wearing headsets. A square-shaped conference table sits in the center of the room, and chairs are pushed in all around the table. Even so, there is little space available for standing or milling about. This is the central communications room of the highest echelons of the Terran National Government, complete with satellite access, direct lines to all Ministerial heads and the Grand General of the Terran Armed Forces at Fort Veritas. Within seconds, contact can be established from here to outlying planetary systems, bases across Terra, orbital vessels, and government offices anywhere.

A series of rooms including two operation rooms with full equipment, the Infirmary and Advanced Medical Center is equipped for victims of radiation sickness, anthrax poisoning, various biological weapons, gunshot wounds, or psionic attacks.

On the other side of the Infirmary and Advanced Medical Center, one can find the offices of Government Center's security, where the special police protecting Government Center keep their files, equipment, and personal space. You can access the gun cabinet, holding cell, and NPA Liaison Office through here.
0 postsGun Cabinet
Government Center's security's gun cabinet. Don't touch anything.
2 postsHolding Cell
There's really nothing to look at. A bare concrete room with a metal door, a lightbulb, and a security camera. This is where obnoxious tourists or drunk college students are taken after screwing with security inside Government Center. At least until the NPA (Terra's National Police) get a hold of them.
0 postsNPA Liaison Office
The NPA Liaison Office is a small suite of three rooms with desks for up to five NPA agents assigned on permanent duty to Government Center, to augment the existing Office of Security and provide additional services, including access to the Director of the NPA in the event of an emergency situation. It is a fairly nondescript office space, with cheap carpets covering the bare concrete floors, simple desks and chairs, and institutional fluorescent lighting.
0 postsPress Room

Welcome to the West Wing of the fourth floor of Government Center, home to a maze of offices belonging to the various Members of Parliament. Only ministerial heads, the Speaker, and the Prime Minister do not have offices in this wing. Each office boasts multiple permanent staffers to the Member occupying the space. They are wood-paneled, with windows overlooking different parts of Wing City.
0 postsHearing Rooms
Looking very much like crosses between a Calvinist church and a courtroom, the five hearing rooms here are for Committee use when considering proposed legislation or administrative changes in the government. Ministries are welcome to make use of the rooms as well. They feature long wooden tables atop a dais with seats for the members of the Committee and several rows of hard, wooden benches for those in attendance from the public.

0 postsOffice of the Parliamentary Chaplaincy
Here you will find the offices of the Parliamentary Chaplaincy, which is home to religious leaders from around Terra who serve on a volunteer-basis. No one in this office is paid a salary of any kind. There is usually a pair of Buddhist monks and nuns, a Hindu swami, a Muslim imam, a pair of Protestant pastors, a Catholic priest, an Eastern Orthodox priest, and a pair of rabbis. Occasionally, there will be a Unitarian cleric. Chaplains are registered with the Clerk of Parliament and are required to pass an NPA background investigation before being admitted to the Parliamentary Chaplaincy, which is responsible for counseling Members and their staffers as well as offering invocations during session.
0 postsOffice of the Parliamentary Ombudsman
A simple enough office, this is the home of the Parliamentary Ombudsman, who is appointed by the Prime Minister from one of the administrative divisions to serve as an independent investigator of complaints against any government body or agency. Citizens and visitors may file complaints here.
0 postsGovernment Center Secure Garage
Only special tag holders are permitted to park in Government Center's Secure Garage, which itself can only be accessed through a back road and after passing through an NPA checkpoint.

43 postsWing City Highway
The highway leading southeast from Wing City, it is surprisingly desolate once you are outside the main city gates. You can see Wing City's skyscrapers from the highway, and evenings, you can see the sun setting behind city lights.
22 postsFort Veritas
A heavily guarded military installation converted from an abandoned military building, Fort Veritas sits about a half a mile (and not quite a kilometer) away from the actual highway. It is surrounded by tall, reinforced walls with guard towers. To enter, you need to pass through the security station manned by fully armed military officers. A series of buildings in various stages of construction sit inside the walls. The central building is a low-lying, concrete structure that appears to be only one story. This is the headquarters of the Terran Armed Forces (TAF.)

The Accident and Emergency Department at Wing City General Hospital. All pre-admission cases to report here for treatment. Minors and Majors are incorporated into this department, and admissions from the Emergency Room go to the wards to the East. All NPC staff are also active in this area.
37 postsHipsterville
Though originally host to the city's numerous art galleries, the south end of the plaza has grown into a hotspot for all things trendy and hip. High-end boutiques mingle with vintage clothing shops, coffee bars, various ethnic restaurants, and record shops. Everything needed to satisfy your inner 'indie kid' can be found here. Hipsterville is oriented around a small sculpture park where aspiring craftsmen and musicians can show off their talents.
19 postsGalaxy Cupcakes
You find yourself pulled into the shop by the aroma alone! Everywhere are pastries. Cupcakes, scones, brownies, cakes, canoli, you name it! And not only are they artistic but they also melt in your mouth as soon as you take a bite. Coffee is also served at Galaxy Cupcakes, along with herbal hot tea. A dark hair woman with a blazer and thick rimmed glasses works behind the counter. She is the doorway to deliciousness. All around are small tables and chairs to enjoy, or if you don't feel like sitting inside, there are more outside with umbrellas hanging over head with good view of the 'Hipsterville' Fountain.

0 postsThe Borealis Garden
The Borealis Gardens are filled with exotic plants which seem to move when one is not looking directly at the foliage. They are brilliantly colored and a sweet scent touches the air, almost intoxicating for those who are not Promethean. They dim the senses in order to help protect the precious manor which lies beyond the elaborate and luxurious garden. A cobble stone pathway leads toward the home while something slithers through the grass unseen. It leaves most with an unsettling feeling in their stomach and perhaps a twinge of fear.
0 postsThe Borealis Manor
Against the horizon is the Borealis Manor which stands three stories high with vines crawling up the natural stone walls. A balcony over looks the gardens and juts out from the western side of the manor on the second floor. Pillars stand to either side of the entrance to the manor and a large black wooden door awaits those that would knock or ring the doorbell.
0 postsThe Foyer
Dark wood panels decorate the walls which contrast starkly against the marble floor as well as the white statues. Many famous paintings hang from the walls of the foyer with their own lighting. The room gives off the air of an art exhibit rather than the entrance into a home. A luxurious pair of stairs cascade down on the western side of the room which leads to the upper floors of the Borealis Manor.
0 postsThe Borealis Manor (Second Floor)
The second floor of the manor is just as luxurious as the rest of the Borealis home. A hallway runs perpendicular to the stairs, running east and west. Soft carpet lays on the floor and a mural is painted on the ceiling depicting several Promethean gods and goddesses. The stairs continue up to the top floor.
0 postsThe Borealis Manor (Third Floor)
The top floor is completely roped off and still under reconstruction. There is dust everywhere and tools scattered around. Workers are sometimes spotted during the midday hours.
1 postsThe Hallway
Continuing down the hallway, several doors line north and south of it. The doors are made from a black wood and are marked with strange Promethean glyphs. Each denotes a different god or goddess and the name of the suite which lays beyond the doors.
0 postsThe Hallway (Continued)
Finally the hallway is discontinued with a large, beautiful, stained-glass door serving as the exit to the balcony beyond. Black doors still run north and south of the hallway providing privacy for the rooms the Canum Venaticorum reside inside.
0 postsThe Balcony
The balcony is a breath taking and peaceful place of solace. Lounging furniture is littered all around the stone veranda. It over looks the gardens and even allows a good view of the neighboring house; a mansion of another Wing City's prestigious families. Plants are scattered around as well while vines still crawl up the outside walls of the third floor. A small pool glitters happily on the balcony and adds the sound of ambient water splashing about.
9 postsThe Living Room
The main living room of the Borealis Manor is enormous and encompasses most of the first floor. Large and expensive rugs lay on the floor beneath cozy, designer, couches and arm chairs. A hearth is the center piece of the living room built into the northern portion of the room. It is made from stone and above it shows the Borealis Family tree in an artistic fashion. Book cases are found here and there as well as an entertainment center cleverly hidden inside an armoire.
0 postsThe Dining Room
A long table made from dark wood runs down the middle of the room with several chairs pushed beneath it. A red banner with the Canum Venaticorum's Family Crests runs along the top of the table beneath shining silver dinnerware and candelabra. A chandelier with glittering gems hangs from the ceiling completing the extravagant and formal dining area. A smell wafting into the room from the south makes the mouth water around the hours when meals are prepared.
0 postsThe Kitchen
The kitchen if filled with servants running to and fro in order to complete the orders of the Borealis Family and those associated with the Canum Venaticorum. Fresh vegetables of a foreign nature as well as fruits, breads, and fresh meats are scattered on different cutting boards. The appliances are very advanced and are mat-black as if made from cast iron. Pots and pans dangle from the ceiling on racks over an island in the middle of the room.
24 postsThe Hera Suite
The Hera suite is the most decorated room in the entire manor. A very large four-poster bed lays on the eastern wall while gossamer hangings decorate it along with several silk pillows, sheets, and a feather soft comforter. On the western wall is a dark wood desk with papers scattered about with the Canum Venaticorum's seal. Arm chairs are pushed into the southern and eastern corner with a small end table between them. Pictures of the family hang from the wall with the Australis twins being the center piece of the framed collage.
48,516 postsTwisted Path
An ancient and foreboding woods, tall gnarled trees extend their branches towards you. The loamy earth muffles any sounds of travel. The earthy smell of decay wafts through the trees on the ever present breeze.
414 postsSmall Path
This small path isn't paved, but it is clearly used quite often. To your north is the massive walls of Wing City, stretching out to the west.
249 postsSmall Path 2
This small path isn't paved, but it is clearly used quite often. To your north is the massive walls of Wing City, stretching out to both the east and west.
686 postsPath Fork
You have come to a small fork in the path. To the north, the path descends down a small hill and out towards the large body of water in that direction. To the west, the patch continues up a winding path through a series of sparse trees. To the east, the path continues through an open field and towards the entrance to Wing City.
491 postsWinding Path
This path is slightly rocky, and heads uphill through some small evergreen trees.
204 postsDifficult Incline
The path here is getting more difficult and rocky, while the trees are more dense here than they are further down the hill.
1,478 postsMountain Path
This path is high up in the air, and it is quite rocky. Surrounding you are tall firs and pines, casting a long shadow before you.
8,395 postsThe Bluff
You have arrived at a tall cliff overlooking the water of Wing City Lake to your north. There is a large set of boulders here, towering over your head and making the area shaded during the day.
9,940 postsThe Hidden Glen
The Hidden Glen is a lush area, surrounded by the vast forest that lay south of the great city. While everything seems peaceful now, the glen has been witness to horrific battles and dark deeds.
2,554 postsThe Maw
The Maw is a violent and chaotic area where loose energies spew from an endless twisting cavern system that runs deep to the planets core. These energies seem to be the reason for much of the nearby corruption.
867 postsThe Descent Into Madness
This cave system is unnaturally dark, in fact it is like your senses are being systematically blocked for your stay here. As you go deeper the only sounds present are that of scraping... scuttling... screaming. Inhuman shadows cast themselves against a palid backdrop of blood and gore. You feel simply by being here that you are slowly losing your mind.
2 postsThe Underdark
A vast subterranean network of interconnected caverns and tunnels, spanning the whole of Terra. Both treacherous and diverse in its flora and fauna, this realm is as alien and different from the surface world as night is to day.
25 postsSesstriss
One of the lesser cities of the drow it is a location where both rable and royal mix. Structured behind powerful houses, each seeking for Lolth's favor its shadows touch all sides to life. The outlawed and exiled use it for hideouts and influential Houses use it to conceal their true strength. Anything goes, in honor of the Spider Queen... As long as you don't get caught.
14,183 postsThe Ruins
The Ruins once stood as a magnificent monastery of aesthetic warrior monks. The main building raises as a tower, surrounded by a series of rubble that may have been out buildings.The Ruins give off an uneasy feeling as if you are being watched, and there are darting shadows that vanish when you face them. Occasionally a howling wind blows through, racing among the rubble creating haunting moans and groans.
1,943 postsThe Monastery
The entrance to the monastery is is littered with rubble. The vast doorway lies asunder, dangling from a single massive hinge. There are skeletal remains along the floor along with dark stains.
127 postsThe Staircase
A wide staircase leading up into the darkness of the tower. The marble steps are littered with rubble. Occasionally fragments of metal and cloth intertwined with bones can be found. The wind swirls and races down the steps creating an eerie moan.
1,468 postsThe Observatory
The Observatory is in disarray. The once magnificent telescope lay in twain, the mirrors and glass cracked and broken. Tomes of astronomy lay exposed to the elements. Out the window is a breathtaking view of the forest and beyond it the great city.
1,881 postsThe Roof
The Roof of the monastery is a wide flat area, with crenelated walls along the edges. From this height you can see the city, the forest and even the hidden glen. From here you can see a far distant mountain path and any who may walk upon it, though not clearly.
946 postsThe Dungeon
A cold dank stairwell leading down into a cramped antechamber. The walls drip with slime and a glowing lichen. A massively thick wooden door with wide iron bands securing it is along the wall. A rack of torches lines the walls.
69 postsThe Corridor
A long corridor filled with an inky blackness that seems to shift and move, devouring any light source a few feet in. A dripping of water is heard in the distance. The shuffling and scrabbling of some animal can be heard. Along with a distinct hiss.
1,165 postsAltar Room
A door at the end of the Corridor opens to the Altar Room. A large basalt altar and several black iron poles adorn the center of this large room. Etched along the floor are a series of sigils and symbols that glow with a faint orange hue. The symbols form a circle around the altar. Atop the black edifice is the remains of a being. Sprawled as if used for some dark ritual, bits of flesh remain, giving the image an unsettling appearance.
326 postsThe Cell
The Cell is where the monks placed people for solitary meditation. The walls are thick and lichen covered. There is a constant drip of brackish water along one side. A small pit has been carved in the center of the room with several candle holders built into the walls. A musty and tattered mat is in the center of the pit.
15 postsThe Storeroom
The Storeroom is a large room, full of crates and barrels as well as casks of thick, viscous liquids. A musty and foul odor linger here, the smell can cause those of weak constitution to gag and retch.
1,974 postsThe Library
The Library is a large room with dozens of shelves full of ancient and hoary tomes, dozens of maps. Some of these maps are of the area and others of planets in the navigable star systems. There is the skeletal remains of a monk slumped over a large book depicting a horned man-like being rising from flames, surrounded by other leering visages from hell.

77 postsEastern Crossroads
A small and dilapidated crossroad, the directional signs only barely readable, the arrow pointing to the north makes mention of "The Cold Plains" and to the east, "The Ocean" is noted.
3,363 postsThe Riverbank
You find yourself at the edge of a river, to the side is a well worn bridge to carry you across.
168 postsAcademia Everia
The first of the two magical academies along this scenic ocean route, the grand structure that is the Everian Academy lies a short way off of the path, along a winding track up a slight incline. The building is extravagantly designed and expansive, with tall towers and spires dominating its architecture. The Academy is placed on the shore of a large lake, that stretches away eastwards towards the distantly visible Academia Celestia.
601 postsAcademia Celestia
The second magical academy along the ocean route, Celestia is a beautiful and positively radiant edifice. Positioned on the easternmost shore of a large lake that stretches southwards towards the distant Academia Everia, Celestia seems a beacon of light, intricately carved and decorated white spires, golden balconies and towering walls an impressive sight to behold.
7,178 postsSolinus Sea Eastern Bay
The eastern bay of the Solinus Sea, just off of the beach. This area is a well-known fishing spot, due largely in part to the massive reefs. While the fishing is excellent, this area also has a long history of sinking careless ships, for the very same reason.
406 postsHidden Cove
Well hidden and treacherous to access, this cove serves as a prime haven for pirates and smugglers. At least those that know how to navigate it safely.
0 postsShip Yard
A secluded shipyard in the business of building airships. Lumber and half constructed vessels line the shipyard. To the south appears to be a small settlement.
670 postsThe Frozen Pines
The warn path continues through an ever colder air still, the pine trees surrounding the area are frozen to the core.
587 postsThe Icy Path
The worn stone path is slippy and wet from many moons of moisture freezing over, the entire area northwards seems to grow colder still.
2,908 postsThe Cold Plains
Surrounding the sore thumb that is the stone path is endless icy plains of snow. The very atmosphere is cold and chilly.
159 postsWorn Path
This ancient path is not paved, but is apparently well traveled. You wonder where it leads.
249 postsThe Wartorn Terrace
This path widens here, expanding to a terrace set into the hillside. The terrace appears to serve no purpose as there are no plants growing here, but the path bends to the east and to the south here.
77 postsThe Descent
The hill begins to descend, and the path winds around various switchbacks here. It's heading down into a valley, while the uphill route looks like it is heading for the more craggy mountain above.
257 postsThe End of Habitability
The temperature here is much hotter than the northern latitudes... the ground beneath you gives way to sand, while the air begins to sharpen and burn your lungs.
1,264 postsThe Wastelands
This is a large expanse of desert, with no living beings whatsoever. No plants, no animals... [i]nothing[/i].
7,776 postsForest Border
You are at the edge of a dense forest, at the bottom of an open field to your north.
26,304 postsDark Woods
An extension of the ancient and foreboding woods. The trail continues to wind south amid the bent and gnarled branches of the twisted trees. Along the path is a wooden arrow sign. Scrawled on the sign in a long dead and forgotten language is a single word. The soft loam has been converted to hard packed earth, the smells of the forest almost overpowering. In the distance the sounds of animals moving are heard.
277 postsThe Butcher's Teeth
The Butchers Teeth lies just beyond the entrance to The Maw, it is a perilous and deathly set of cliffs lined by sharp and jagged rocks, stained red from the blood of those who have fallen to their deaths.
421 postsThe Blackened Steps
The Blackened Steps are a dangerous set of stairs that lead off of the eastern edge of the Perilous Bridge, upwards to a scorched and barren set of plains.
4 postsHQ Entrance
A non-obvious pathway away from the steps leads to the entrance to a large building partially submerged in the ground. A label on the side of the doors reads 'Nameless Syndicate', and declares to whom the building belongs. The area outside looks like it hasn't seen maintenance in a while.
3 postsSyndicate HQ Lobby
Inside the building, in the first room, a large desk sits with several notebooks on it. The area has been maintained unlike the outdoors, a carpet on the floor, extra sofas and chairs. It was designed to apparently allow the Mercenary Group to take customers. In the back, two more doors were present.
1 postsSyndicate HQ Communications Room
A large room with equipment and tables all lined neatly. Towards the back, one large screen hung from the ceiling, one seat in front of it surrounded by lots of buttons and features.
2 postsSyndicate HQ Briefing Room
A large table with plenty of chairs around it, and several to spare against the wall. A whiteboard is up in the far corner with a complete array of colored markers next to it. A room designed for briefing and debriefing.

The Workshop is a spacious and scrap filled area with toolboxes covering a lone table and chair.
0 postsSyndicate Armory
The Armory for the Mercenaries is a large room with weapons and equipment covering every last rack and table, with some racks stacked to the ceilings. The Workshop keeps it stocked.
960 postsThe Boiling Plains
A violently desolate landscape, war torn by constant battles of the past as shown by the battlescars the blackened earth holds. Remnants of vehicles and equipment lay scattered and the occasional scavenger bird can be seen in the gloomy sky.
463 postsA Well Worn Bridge
The bridge is worn, but sturdy. Its wooden planks carry you across a gushing and cold river where falling in would mean death for the average person.
18 postsDark Grove
A dark grove deep within an ancient and foreboding wood. An old graveyard and a decrepit crypt are situated at its center and a faint path winds westward out of the grove and back towards the main trail.
0 postsHaverous Bog
Deep within the forest a swamp has festered into existence. For years it has spread far and wide. Only recently was it discovered. It shows life seen no where else on Terra. Abominations of life and death. The murky waters of the bog stretch on for many miles, with only the few sparse trees sprouting up from the muck below. And endless night seems to have fallen upon the place; perhaps a long term effect of the eternal fog it is hidden in.

37 postsLakeshore Road
The road between Wing City and its namesake lake takes you through barely tamed wilderness trails, almost as if some unseen force wants you to work to keep sight of your destination.
705 postsWing City Lake
As you immerse yourself in the waters of Wing City Lake, you notice all sorts of indigenous aquatic life. But you'll probably have to go back to the beach eventually...
76 postsPath to Wing City Lake
You are on a small path leading down a hill towards the edge of Wing City Lake.
12,224 postsWing City Lake: Beach
To your west is the open water of Wing City Lake, but beneath your feet is the soft lake sand of the beach. You can see that this is a popular place to be during the day. You see a small sign that reads; [quote]Wing City: East[/quote].
1,393 postsWing City Lake: Pier
Water sloshes against the old wood that makes the pier. At the north end of the pier rests a few row boats. In the distant center of the lake lies a small island covered in a thick forest.
2,071 postsWing City Lake: Island
The island beckons you to the center. An ancient set of earthen slabs lay stacked in a circle around a tunnel that leads into the island.
360 postsThe Island: Tunnel
A cool rush of air blows from the depths of the tunnel. The dim light carries down a winding path and into the depths. A soft blue glow comes from the end of the twisted tunnel. It is the entrance to an ancient temple, older than the lake itself; or so it would seem.
2,279 postsThe Island: Temple
The temple is lit in a faint aura of blue. Small, sapphire, whisps dance around the inside of the temple. This was once a place to worship the gods of the multiverse. Its moss covered walls now sink down into deep pits of water from past floods. Ancient doors surround the sides of the temple; holding centuries worth of secrets behind them.
0 postsRiver Rapids
Way to fall in.
0 postsThe Icy Peaks
These mountain peaks create a dominating and nearly impenetrable border that extends well into the northern cold plains.
2 postsMountainside Temple
Roughly hewn from the earth of the mountain-side itself, the temple entrance is little more than two rugged pillars of stone standing sentinel at either side of a small cave opening, just large enough for two people abreast to fit through without stooping. Runic wards have been placed over the entryway to allow passage only to those with benevolent intentions, however at the moment they seem to be in disrepair and there seems to have been a recent rock slide in the area.
0 postsDimly Lit Stairwell
This stairway is roughly hewn from the stone of the mountain itself. Descending into the darkness, the acoustics are such that even the smallest sounds of passage are loudly echoed down into the temple proper.
0 postsThe Altar Room
The temple proper stands in direct juxtaposition to the humble facade of the temple entrance. The walls are lined with black marble columns and intricately carved scrollwork while the floors are tiled in black granite with varying runic symbols etched in gold leaf. Lining the walls between the columns stand tall statues of gods and goddesses long forgotten and at the base of each statue resides a small altar. For lighting extravagantly adorned candelabras ring the room. Further passageways open out from either wall of the room, though the east tunnel is collapsed and impassable.
0 postsPortal Room
The portal room is a large circular chamber with half a dozen stone archways positioned at intervals along the wall. Resting atop a pedestal at the center of the room is the crystal orb used to activate the portals. However, a deep crack runs through the crystal and several of the archways have been destroyed beyond repair.
0 postsForge
Outside of the temple proper is a small but functioning forge room. The east side of the room opens out from the mountainside, offering a view of the icy peaks outside, though due to the sheer cliff face there appears to be no means of entering or exiting the temple that way other than by air. However, the lengthy western tunnel has been collapsed, preventing passage between the temple and the forge.
0 postsVestibule
The vestibule serves as a nexus to the other areas of the temple. Though less ornate than the altar room, the walls here too are lined with extravagant candelabras and marble pillars with granite tiling along the floor.
0 postsTemple Dormitories
Lining either side of the long hallway, and at the far end are rows of dormitories for those who reside within the temple. These rooms also serve as a place for weary travelers to rest while paying homage.
0 postsTemple Library
While seemingly humble in size, this library serves as an excellent source of historical information. Though, primarily mythological and religious in nature, the temple library's resources are impressively vast. Warmth and color have been added to this room, setting it apart from the rest of the temple proper. Along one wall rests a fireplace and several cushioned arm chairs for reading and the granite floor has been overlain with a richly colored red oriental carpet. The remaining walls are lined by rows of bookshelves containing ancient texts and documents and at the room center rests a large mahogany table.
1 postsTemple Dining Hall
Far less furbished than the rest of the temple, this large chamber serves as a dining area with a large oak table and benches lining either side of it.
1 postsA Perilous Incline
The climb upwards into the icy peaks is treacherous and wrought with danger for those that don't know its paths.
0 postsFlora
Welcome to Flora- the run-down city just beyond the outskirts of Wing City. The paved, cracked streets look scummy and old, much like the buildings, and there is a distinct smell about the air. Back alleys and hidden paths from the streets are notorious, and often-times safer than the roads themselves. Keep a weary eye, because crime and mischief and flat-out danger run amok. There are few locations to go here where you'll be safe or even comfortable, but don't worry- once you're in Flora, you shouldn't plan on leaving anytime soon- despite the environment.
1 postsTilns Street
Look to the left and you'll find the police headquarters and apartment complexes. Look to the right and you'll find old, decrepit buildings and an intersection. In front of you are the backs of condemned houses and a large brick building.

The aged sidewalk widens to the left, where the front entrance to a diner is marked by the hanging street sign above its front door. The brick building looks decrepit and near to falling down, but it's long from going anywhere.
0 postsSteelie's Diner
Welcome to Steelie's Diner. We're open 24 hours. Don't be bothered by the aged outside appearance or the worn out fabric of the cushioned seats- there's always something to make up for it, and for the stains on the wooden tables... Oh, don't worry about the dim lighting or the dank smell either, it's all to make the customers happier.
0 postsSteelie's Apartment
Small and cramped- like most any apartment in a decrepit brick building and built above a diner. It has a total of three rooms; a cramped bathroom with an even more cramped shower, a bedroom just large enough to hold a queen size size bed wedged against the wall and a dresser opposite it- no closet, and a studio room complete with a sofa as old as time and a TV to boot, a messy kitchen, and a two-person dining table stacked to the limit with papers, packets, magazines and books. The owner of the diner has been known to, on rare occasion, allow customers to stay here in times of extenuating circumstances.
0 postsBack Alley
The air smells of smoke, blood, and flat out waste. The lighting is dark, even in broad daylight. The sounds from inside the diner are all but completely blocked out. A cool breeze travels from the south.

Condemned houses and aged brick buildings line the scummy street. The street lights have long since blown out and the empty trash bins reveal just how little this place is worth.

175 postsCursed Wood
Dark and foreboding, the trees seem older than time itself. Larger than life, and equally as imposing, they stand distanced as if politely ignoring each other. Fog swirls around the bases of these trees, obscuring the earthy ground. Flowers dare not grow in this forest, for the canopy of leaves blots out the sun, and the temperature is stagnantly cool. There is something amiss about this forest.
9 postsForbidden Thick
The trees are considerably closer together, and grow older the deeper you travel. Here it is darker than the rest of the wood, and the ground it littered with dead foliage.
86 postsCastle Vankoryth
You have arrived at the gate of a large, stone structure called Castle Vankoryth. It stands almost as tall as the trees, with three prominent towers and a forboding gate. It appears uninhabited for the most part, but the Vankoryth Detente may beg to differ. It is well shaded by the Forbidden Thick, and it's architecture is painfully Gothic.
170 postsCastle Vankoryth Entrance Hall
You have officially entered the castle. The ceilings are high, and grand mahogany doors grace every wall, leading to other presumable grand rooms. Gargoyles silently scream down on all who enter, daring them to vandalize the place, and a wide spiraling stair case goes both up and down. Large tapestries inlaid with gold hang from the farthest walls, and large vases housing dead roses sit in each corner.
274 postsRoom of Reason
Leading off to the south from Castle Vankoryth's Entrance Hall via a heavy, wooden double door, is the Room of Reason. Inside the room cuts away from the more polygonal layout of the rest of the castle to become almost perfectly circular. The walls are lined with various tapestries and the only window, little more than an arrow-slit, is often covered by a miniature pair of crimson 'curtains'. The centre and main attraction of the room comes in the form of the large, round table carved from stone that sits in the middle. With enough room for perhaps twenty people to sit around the outside; and each would get their own chair fashioned out of oak and decorated with a slim, bold-coloured cushion.
11 postsCastle Vankoryth Kitchens
Once home to culinary geniuses and hard working servants, these kitchens have deteriorated... Dark, murky, with footsteps and finger-marks in the thin layers of dust from where entities prowl after sundown.. Most cupboards are empty, yet some are locked... Heavy bolt locks made to fit keys the size of work-hammers. There is one room still fit to prepare a meal; this is lit by candles and home to all manner of terrifying kitchen-ware. Where the kitchens end, a locked iron door leads down into the dark, dank dungeons below...
9 postsCastle Vankoryth Dungeons
One can only imagine what horrors went on down here... The faint stench of blood still clings to where stains survive to this very day; against ragged stone walls and in rusting iron cells. The Jailor's office is cut off by a locked wooden door and in the torture chamber, a skeleton still lies upon the stone slab on which he died. Monstrous tools are strewn around and levers and chains line the walls and hang from the ceiling.
9 postsCastle Vankoryth Grand Dining Hall
A dining hall fit for a king! Both long in length and wide in fatness, this room clings to the particularly gothic style of the Castle in which it rests. A long, wooden table covered by a dark red cloth is the attraction, while the polished chairs around it serve only to please Castle Vankoryth's finest guests. The windows lining the eastern wall give an... Indifferent view to the area beyond.
72 postsCastle Vankoryth Upper Level
Here includes the guest rooms, the Lord's Chambers, various studies and a pattern of seemingly never-ending corridors and hallways. One could get lost for days by simply taking the wrong turn; and the identical red carpets acting like a blanket for each road would only serve to hinder you. Only the vases of dead flowers, the dusty paintings of unnerving figures and ever-watching eyes... And of course, the occasional prowler... Could help you on your way to your destination...

0 postsCastle Vankoryth Rear Courtyard
The courtyard at the back of the castle seems mostly unused. There is no hay in the stable, no lock on the armoury door and no guards to man the walls and towers... What there is, however, is a large, spiked iron portcullis and a working gatehouse to control it... A winding road leads off on the other side and one can't be sure if it's to keep one thing out, or another thing in...
2 postsMount Playmore Overlook
A wide valley lays to the west, shadowed by the hulking Mount Playmore in the distance. The sun sets just to the left of the carved mountain, making this place a perfect place to sit and enjoy the scenery at one of Terra's premiere destinations.

8 postsMount Playmore
Carved into the granite face of the mountain are idols from through the ages. The two largest portraits, one man and one woman, flank Mount Playmore. With wise eyes, they watch over the Valhalla Valley. Between them are many, if not hundreds, more portraits. Some may recognize the smirk of Remy LeBeau, whose bust is carved two faces to the left of Tersan Rogut's stony glare. Up over there, to the right of that carving of some old wizard, many will notice Skuld's portrait lurking among the rocky surface. Lady Une herself is represented right there, near the middle of it all, two faces up and one over from Chaos himself. Evana Daybreaker's head marks the point at which the sun rises over the mountain. Most of the faces appear to hold no name, their stories dwindled away with the passing of time. Strangely enough among the carvings are pictures of trees and clams, and if you stand at a certain angle while viewing the carvings it would appear that the woman carved next to the infamous Nicci has the ears of a cat.

0 postsAtlai Vortex
You have arrived near a raging whirlpool out at sea that only appears once every two weeks with the aid of mighty storm. Something lies deep under the sea’s waters which causing this and the strange energy that emits. An energy that can cause nearly any boat to sink and aircraft to crash if not careful.
0 postsThe Atlai Passages
The Atlai Vortex begins to fade away and the storm dies down. You have figured out the secrets of the whirlpool and now before you emerging from the deep sea is the Atlai Passages. A large highly advanced coral blue door covered in barnacles and other sedimentary sea creatures. A few fish and octopi squirm around after being brought up with massive doors. The vault like doors are closed tight and only the Key of Atlantis can open them.
0 postsAtlantis (Atlai)
You have opened the doors to the Atlai Passages to find a device that will carry you down below the waves. Only enough room for 10 people at a time and virtually no vehicle can fit inside. Once the Key was inserted, and remains in place, the doors will remain open and keep Atlantis from sinking again. Though once down the passages you finally see the Ancient lost City of Atlantis. A marvel of both the most advanced technology and magic, which no civilization has come close too both past and present. But it’s empty and not a soul can be seen. The people of the place all dead and gone there remains are drying coral as the water drains from the city.
0 postsThe Atlai Vaults
Going west in the ghost city of Atlantis you see the Atlai Vaults. Much like the doors to the passage way into the city. Except the doors can be opened only by the long dead language of the Atlai People. There is only handful alive that could do this. Though inside the vaults lies all the greatest technologies and magic of the people of Atlantis and the other greatest civilizations. The Secrets and knowledge of the Atlai, Mayans, Hebrews, Egyptians, and Chinese and scrolls on there raise and fall. Treasures the go beyond the imagines of men and empires, but inside also lies life. And whatever is in these vaults will not give the treasure so willingly.

From orbit you can see the two civilized continents, one seemingly purely devoted to an agrarian way of life, whilst the other seems more urbanized, with a third still devoted to crops, and the other three major continents seem to be teeming with life, lush rain forests stretching for leagues... the contrast of the dark green with the sapphire blue hue of the seas seems to set the whole picture into motion...

The planet of Trigotia lies along the edge of the Local Region, not far from the Azcrian Corridor. It is surrounded by a thick atmosphere that is a result of severe volcanic activity. This atmosphere effectively prevents the majority of light that the planet receives from a far away sun from ever reaching the surface. As a result the amount of life along the surface of Trigotia is severely low and the land is almost always covered in darkness. Home of The Zepha.

The heart of the Belkan Empire, commonly referred to by its subjects as the Core, is easily one of the most secure locations known to exist, and possibly one of the most dangerous. Here one finds the opposite ends of the urban spectrum: from the shining domes and clean air of Tannhäuser to the filthy grime of the Neu-Lumen skyscrapers. The Belkan military, though it maintains a presence here, has long been outdone by the Landwächter, who police the realm hungrily, eager to strike at whatever quarry they can find.

The Inner Empire is, with the exception of the Core, where a great deal of the Hegemony's revenue originates. Home to most of their industrial capacity, industrial waste-worlds are quite common, as are hellish space-factories, spewing out arms, ammunition and vessels for the never-ending war effort.

Even while walking near on the streets of the Triegen District, one can feel the heartbeat of The Amarande. The low bass calls to those that wander too near and allures them into the night club owned by The Diva Devika; a Hegemony Icon. Upon entering, bold neon lights wash over the dancing patrons while performers parade around in extravagant costumes. TekOpera resounds around the room, Devika's voice entrancing all into a delightful state of absolute pleasure. A bar lays as the main center piece, made of black marble and is filled to the brim with the finest inebriating drinks and substances. Stairs, sleek and carpeted give passage to the VIP lounge upstairs where only the most prestigious citizens of the Hegemony are allowed, including the one and only Diva Devika. And everywhere one turns their eyes, the God Emperor Josef Kampf stares back at them in all his glorious sovereignty, reflected on walls of flowing water.

Made of a strong stone foundation, ebony wood walls, and using granite as reinforcement, the tavern can hold it own. It gives off a sense of comfort and that 'home away from home' feeling. As you enter the main room, you notice a large heart with fire roaring inside the middle of the room. Fine chairs circle around the hearth, giving a choice place to rest. Tables made from stone with wooden chairs are scattered around the room. Behind the onyx bar counter are shelves full of kegs filled with only the finest of brews! The only other exit is a single door for those that work at The Dwarven Stout and a set of wooden stairs that lead up to several rooms.

On the Western Bank lies the High City, a walled off community holding the city's nobility and interplanar embassies. The eastern bankis called the Middle City, where most of the proletariat and middle class live. These districts are the true flavor of the city, where magical services abound, and those without arcane talent are consigned to a life of poverty and mediocrity. Finally, there lies the little discussed Lower City, a network of ancient Dwarven catacombs, where more nefarious or desperate citizens reside...

Before you stands The Azure Citadel, Tyretlethen's magnificent desert palace that has in recent times has also become the center for higher education in the arcane secrets of the Multiverse. The citadel is a massive sandstone tower spiraling hundreds of feet into the pale desert sky with buttresses and galleries carved by wind and magic alike. It is built into a large mesa that has somewhat been shaped into a large cathedral-like mountain. Atop the insane heights of the main sandstone spire glitters one of the greatest treasures of Gaia: An immense sapphire almost a hundred feet in width set into the very top of the spire. It is visible from miles away in the desert, and is illuminated at night so as to serve as a beacon and reminder of Tyretlethen's power.

The Oasis Gardens are the Suzerain's pride and joy; a series of canals and waterways stemming from a spring deep under the Citadel itself. The canals are paved with whitewashed granite with inset, glittering mosaics. Exotic flours and trees burst from the fertile ground, and the song of birds fills the air. Hovering balls of blue flame light the canals at night, and a whole manner of desert creatures bathe or bask in the luxurious comfort of this constructed paradise.

Fountains line the sandstone walls with great sweeping reliefs carved into the facades of the towering walls.

A great spiraling staircase sweeps up into the dizzying heights overhead, though many prefer to fly, teleport, or use some other means for transport to get around. At the far end of the hall lies an Arcane Elevator, which can spirit you away to most any part of the Citadel. Still further to the east are the main studies used for all college work from scholarly research to live arcane testing...

The lowest level accessible within the Citadel is the basement access to Ulhar, a vast network of underground rivers and canals that serve as the hidden aquifer to all of The Sapphire Desert. No one has explore the full extent of the winding network, but there are rumors that there are a few connections to the Underdark along the darkened tunnels. Even without such a looming danger, it is still ill advised to wander the swift currents alone...
0 postsThe Living Quarters
The majority of the Azure Citadel's height is occupied by the general living quarters for both students, masters, guests, and servitors alike. Each room is almost a palace in its own right; each equipped with its own fountain, bed, bookshelf, and a whole lavish array of furnishings. The door to each room seems to merely be a slight indentation in the stone wall outside before a simple password is used, set by the owner. Generally, the higher up in the Citadel one lives, the more extravagant the room.
0 postsSuzerain Hall
The utmost reaches of the Azure citadel play host to its owner and king of The Sapphire Desert, Suzerain Tyretlethen. From this hall, one can see the immense blue sapphire for which the citadel is named up close (which is, of course, protected by a maddening slew of powerful guards and wards). It serves as Tyretlethen's throne room; the entire hall bathed in the radiant scintillation of billion faceted stone overhead. A series of powerful fiends guard the room at all times, and it is large enough to hold a small gathering or feast. As per the overall schema of the Citadel, the great vaulted windows are open to the winds and the hall is always somewhat alive with the sound of desert wind...
0 postsThe Studies
The bulk of lower, built out areas of the Azure Citadel are the vast passages and rooms where all participants of the college are welcome to teach, explore, and practice the arcane mysteries that pique their interests. Many of the rooms have mild damage from spells gone wrong (or right), and it tends to be the busiest part of the Citadel at any given point of the day.
1 postsDwarven Stout Kitchen
The Dwarven Stouts kitchens is large and rather clean. sitting in the center of this room almost paralleled to the main room is another roaring hearth with burning coals and fire dancing up to lick the stews and hanging meats that rest just inches above have a huge line of fire on a spit: chickens, pheasant, boar and other food stuffs hange above the fire to cook. A little ways off to the right is an island made of stone holding things like cutting boards, knives, pots and pans, and cups that sit upon hooks within the wall while there is also basic prep work that can be seen here. Right across the exit to the tavern itself sits a rather large over and to the right is another door that appears to be an office of some kind while over to the left is the doorway to the cellar were some of the brewing takes place and several wines and other beverages are stored. In a sense this place was inspired by Tieglis Orgost for the tidiness and the order that has been placed within this kitchen.

0 postsThe Dwarven Stouts Celler
The Stouts cellar is rather massive with several wine racks and massive kegs that are marked with either the script of either the elves or dwarves. Sitting in the back of the room is a rather strange seal with an almost arcane energy about it. For those who seek it’s entrance the Seal asks of its arrivals a riddle for those who bare the mark of the guild. “This garden is a lonely place where many came, and yet remain the plants grow strong on fertile ground watered by legacies of pain and should I plow; my plow would break on cast-off husks of iron grain now buried where they fell like wheat. What am I? Speak! Or face the bane.”

0 postsThe Skyfall Crypts
Nestled high in the Peaks of this Mountain Ridge's second Mountain, the Skyfall Crypts lay deep in the snow and ice. These once proud Crypts served as a burial ground for some of this world's fiercest warriors, proud scholars and worthy leaders. However, due to the Crypt's legends, so too did the Crypts fall into legend themselves. As the years past, these stone halls began to crumble, the altars ruined and the energies of that mystical place became fouled by time's cold embrace. Recently, the crypts have become opened by two different factions. One Such cavern has been taken over by Necromancers, further dececrating this once proud place by raising the honored dead as servants to their evil schemes. The other is a lone being cloaked in shadow and bearing a strange black stone bow. Be it threat or friend, these caverns hold gold, gems and ancient weaponry ripe for the taking. But beware for the Dead are walking...just waiting to serve their new masters...

This is the largest, and arguably most advanced settlement on Yellowstone. Built down into the crater of a high gravity world, buildings cling precariously to the sides.

The moon is ruled by a council of eleven members. Their laws are not slavish or unreasonable, but they are strictly enforced. The carrying of a weapon is legal, but firing of it is strictly prohibited save for firing ranges and self defence, though the latter is a very rare occurance: to attack someone in this stronghold is to ask to be caught.

OOC Notes
To keep some order, I've got a squadron of Defenderobos equipped with various weapons. All of them have Hold Rays, Stun Guns, and Snoozedust Launchers. And sometimes there will be some pretty famous and powerful characters here. So don't even THINK about conquering the place.
The Duel Corner can be used to settle any grudges. Many nice utilities for any character, such as Repair Robots and Healing Machines (now capable of maxing your mana!) are present as well.
""Okay, guys, open the gates." A strange cloaked guy riding on a mechanical bird thing pulled a lever. Instantly, portals from all over the Multiverse opened up. "Now, ready the kitchens! Open up the Duel Corner! Fire up the Repair Robots! Plug in the Wiis! Let's get this party STARTED!"
"Sweet, this place is open!" Tobarr Twohammers jumped out of the portal. "An' looky there! Repairin' constructs that can repair this armor." Tobarr had no clue what some of these people where, or why they were here, but he knew the place was way ahead of his time. He decided to sit between this weird thing that looked like it had a mushroom on its head and a somewhat large sentient metal construct. Tobarr began to examine the menu, and he overheard the two talking. "Get this. I was over in the Volcanic Depths, at the "Safe Zone", and the lava was above the "Safe Line"! Safe... right!" "Yeah, well, get this. I was in this old prison, and believe me, I didn't know what was going on- just that a bunch of Dragons and Titan Golems were appearing out of nowhere! The Mage with me understood it and was actually enjoying the place, but I never want to go there again!" "I'd be guessin' it's got somethin' fer mages and wizards an' the like." "Yes, I suppose you're right, Dwa- oh, there's my food."
Tobarr would never understand why constructs liked that toxic stuff that was called "Plasma", but then again, he wasn't a construct."

Ember walked into a portal that had entered her world. She felt a weird sensation throughout her body. Everything was spinning around in circles and finally it stopped. She walked out of the portal and saw a resturant. Nice, she thought. She saw a duel corner and walked over there. This should be intresting, she thought to herself.

He abruptly had to duck as the latest loser, a troll, was flung out of the area. The crowd turned to jeer-and Slannon got pushed into the corner. Immediately the robot charged at him. He leaped out of the way and hit the robot on the back with a jolt of electricity erupting from his hand. In an instant it was over. The robot lay on the ground and Slannon stood there, bewildered. He hadn't even tried to do that!
He got down before another challenger could approach. Casually, ignoring the crowds confused stares, he walked over to a table and ordered his favorite: pure lemon juice mixed with honey.

"Intresting, a bar on the other side of an interdimensional portal with a fluxation of 42897 Joules per hour." The android cracked his neck.
"Weyland-Yutani standards are now Vull and Noid-------- Null and Void.... Intresting." The Android approached the bar.
"One of any kind of vodka you have on the rocks... and if you can some sort of electrical welder." The android sat down and looked around the bar.

Andropov was waiting. As Sectional Chief of Security, he was tasked with escorting foreign nationals and diplomats. He was built for the job; and his preference for muscle shirts served to enhance the image. "This way." he said, leading the three Ahrainian representatives through Station Sixteen's labyrinth of passageways.
The three foreign diplomats and their guide stepped into a cavernous circular room. The conference room was obviously designed for large meetings, albeit not opulent ones. The walls were polished chrome, as were the floors and gently sloping roof. A single windowless metal door, marked with Senior Diplomat Nika Akrevdev in white block letters, stood opposite Andropov. A circular metal conference table, measuring twelve feet across, completed the room.
Andropov nudged up to Alaron's ear and grumbled, "Here's Nika," before strutting across the room, and leaning his elbows on one of the room's cushy, chrome swivel chairs.
Their representative would be Nika; he was lithe, clean shaven, ruggedly handsome. Rectangular horn-rimmed glasses framed gaunt face. He smiled mirthlessly and clenched his folded hands. His three aides acted likewise. All four were dressed identically in black military day wear, with the exception of the maroon beret which hid Nika's curly brown hair.
Nika seated himself at the near side of the table, and his aides followed. Andropov sat on Nika's left, and Nika's three aides sat to his right. This left two chairs of space between the foreign diplomats and the technocratic representatives. Nika absently tapped the tabletop before him, causing a holographic screen to activate. He keyed in several commands and then folded his hands in his lap.
"To business, shall we?" he began, but was abruptly cut off by Andropov's forceful interjection, "Would you like something to eat or drink? I apologize for not having anything on hand. Our mess' cooks can make anything you want." The Security Chief flashed his trademark three-quarter smile to Alaron, awaiting an answer.
OOC Notes
"Firstly we should make sure we clearly understand what sort of agreement we each looking for. The Ahrian Empire is largely interested in trade and in either a peace treaty, or a mutual defense pact, depending on which you are willing to enter into. As you are aware, our empire is a lot smaller than your own, and as such it is understandable if you find the latter a non lucrative prospect." Alliandre said
Alliandre finished speaking, but Jade took up where she had left off almost as seamlessly as if they were one person, "As far as trade is concerned, the main export we believe you would be interested in, is a compound gas unique to our home world of Ahria. For as long as we have used it, it has simply been referred to as the source, but the composing gases are in fact a variation on the common gas, Hydrogen, and a gas unique to Ahria called Aelfin. The two combine to create a gas that can be used as a powerful source of energy. For example," at that point, Jade pulled out a small vial from her sleeve "This much of the gas is enough to power an average home for a month." she said, before taking out another, slightly larger container that resembled a small fuel cell "This is the standard fuel cell for a light aircraft, and can last several hours without need to refuel. There are also scaled up versions we use in our spacecraft."
Alaron waited for Jade to finish speaking before pitching in himself "We also have relatively advanced cloaking technology, and these." he said, gesturing to a device that resembled a wrist band that he was wearing. "With these 'manipulators', a user can have limited control over gravity in a small area. If I may demonstrate."
The councillor gestured towards one of the spare chairs, and it rose up into the air, spinning around several times "It takes a lot of practice to control properly, and most people will find themselves limited to this sort of thing, but with enough time, one learns to do things akin to this." he said, and the chair crumpled in on itself, dropping to the floor a mangled mess of metal. "Well, I believe that we have shown our hand now, as they say. Let us hear you out."
OOC Notes
Nika waited patiently through the Ahrianite's presentation, wincing as they totaled one of the good chairs, and he began expounding on his point, "That's all very interesting and promising. And unlike some nations, the Technocracy is always interested in mutual trade. I'm certain something can be arranged."
"Interesting, I was expecting the normal spread of exports; perhaps, considering that the Technocracy is in a glut for a fuel sources right now, we could arrange a simple trade? You supply us with this gas, we maintain refining operations there, and we'll provide protection and security for your entire empire. Does a battlegroup, say, fifty-five ships, per planet sound good?" elaborated Nika, gesturing wildly with his hands, as was his unintentional habit.
"Moving on to your gravity device, It's impressive, I'll admit that much," Nika said with a saccharine smile, "But the Technocracy already possess that kind of technology; in fact, our 'effectors' can manipulate the electromagnetic spectrum as well as gravity. They're wonderful devices, really."
Nika was blessed with a keen eye for details; no facet of the Ahrianite's flawless interpersonal communication went unnoticed by him. He pursed his lip, thinking, and then he calmly asked, "I hate to be intrusive, but do the Arhianites have any form of telepathy? I've noticed the," he said the next word cloyingly, "flawless way you merged conversations."

"We do of course offer all the general exports in addition to this, but that can be easily dealt with by the traders themselves." Jade added, "Your effectors certainly sound interesting, I would be interested in seeing one at some point if I could, just for my personal interest."
Alliandre nodded briskly, before blinking as the Captain's voice spoke in her mind "High Lady?"
"What is it? I told you we were not to be disturbed." she snapped, frowning
"My sincerest apologies, High Lady, but we just received a transmission, a distress call sent out to the general area. It's the Azerians, ma'am. Their ship is damaged and they are requesting aid from the Technocracy."
"Well I am sure that the Technocracy will respond appropriately, and have already received the transmission. I will mention it though. Thank you Captain." she finished, before turning back to Nika "I do apologize, I was just contacted by the Captain of our ship, there is an Azerian ship nearby sending a distress call out, though I am sure you already know." she explained

The tow squadron, comprised of three squat tugs escorted by two comparatively spindly destroys, dropped into realspace three-hundred kilometers away from the disabled Kapahanuhalulu. The unfortunate result of this was that the already damaged ship would be bathed in a spasmodic, but incredibly strong, burst of exotic radiation. All five technocratic ships, properly shielded and undamaged, were unaffected.
The first destroyer's captain hastily hailed the Kapahanuhalulu, politely asking, "Is your ship still intact? Our radiation wake might have damaged things even more."
As the radiation wake subsidized, the tows moved into position along the dorsal, port, and starboard hull plates of the ship. They clamped into position with electromagnets and remote-guided tow cables attached to vernier thruster packs; and they gunned their engines. It would take days for them to reach the inside of the system, so they would guide the foreign vessel to the nearest military drydock and search the occupants en route.
Of course, the military elements of this operation had other things in mind. The cruisers, their bows pointed directed at the Azerian ship, engaged pinpointed communications jammers. The Trident AI controlling the second destroyer hailed, "Please prepare yourself for boarding."
At that moment the first destroyer broke formation and banked alongside the Kapahanuhalulu. It was close enough for the Azerians to see the closed port weapon awnings through whatever windows their vessel might have; they would also notice the extended docking umbilical through which the marines would arrive.

The Technocratic response was short and concise: "We are going to process them before extradition. The situation is under control."

"Great, great. And, I'll show you some footage of these effectors - oh, that's all under control. We get stuff like that happening all the time around here." Nika rambled, quickly keying in a command to display battlefield footage of a cruiser-mounted effector array. It was fearsome, its user combing gamma radiation and magnetic field manipulate to rip apart and atomize a space station.
OOC Notes
"I don't see the point, you won't find anything board the Kapahanuhalulu."
He shut off the panel and activated a few controls on the holo-deck.
'Kapahanuhalulu's memory is now erased.'
Said the fragile female AI.
'Goodbye commander, it was nice working with yo-yo-you."
The AI's communication hissed and glitched, until finally it was gone. The ship's power shut off and is now completely inoperative.
Jalulaha switched on his portable communication-array.
"I am bringing armed personnel aboard the station. I will assume that is okay... Technocracy."
OOC Notes
Alaron nodded "Our people will learn much from the technocracy, which handily brings me on to the next point. The Ahrians have had contact with other races, as you know, but the first race we encountered before even the denizens of some of our own planets, was the Voidkeepers. Their name is rather ominous, and ill befits their nature, they are a peaceful people who dwell in the void of Limbo, an alternate dimension in which there is nothing but they, and what they choose to bring into it. They have the ability to transfer themselves, as well as sections of space ranging from an individual, to a ship, to an entire Solar System, depending on how many of them there are, into Limbo. Limbo is timeless, and so a year can pass in there while a second passes in our realm, depending again on the Voidkeepers themselves. They are based around gaining knowledge, but we have an alliance of sorts with them, where we gather them knowledge in return for their support in any troubles." he explained
"Of course, I am sure they will want to meet you themselves at some point, they are fickle in some ways, and it could be mere days or several years before they decide to make contact." Jade added.

You can create and play anything that you like in the Multiverse. There is no acceptance or review of characters, just create the character and start RPing!

Re: The Multiverse: Where Do We Go?
I agree that there needs to be a set baseline. For instance, the name of the bar. The name of the world that the bar is on. The name of cities, nearby things like that. There can be a set system of government, the Wing City Police Department, but their "jurisdiction" only stretches so far. Some of the most interesting roleplay I've seen/participated in has involved characters coming from other worlds and having to either deal with, work around, or confront the system of government set in the Multiverse.
Alternately, some of the worst and most frustrating MV roleplaying I've seen has been .. involving characters coming from other worlds and having to deal with, work around, or confront the system of government set in the Multiverse.
I've always seen the MV as a hallways connecting various rooms. The rooms are your own story, your own ideas, your own canon, your own characters; it's where your friends gather and you control things. When you're out in that hall, however, all bets are off. That isn't to say you can pull things out of your ass, but you accept and understand a certain amount of handicap.
For instance, my character Liesha Kennicot is a Special Agent in the United States government, from her Earth. She's aware that there are other Earths, and that she doesn't had any control when in the MV. That's fine. However, when someone else walks up to her and starts trying to give her orders claiming that their faction has taken over mine without a single bit of IC content, that's when things start to go awry.
Reading back over the original post, it seems that the Multiverse has as much substance as you give it. It's a sandbox location where you can freely interact with new characters that you might not get a chance to. For a while, I used the MV as a way to try and test out ideas with people before making a roleplay out of it. You get your circles of friends (as Patch mentioned, his crew of eight) and you go at it. Sometimes you meet in the middle, and sometimes you don't.
And at the risk of ranting, that is all I have to say about that.
Re: The Multiverse: Where Do We Go?
All of you and your wall of text. ALbeit all of them are thoughtful, insightful posts that share your views to everyone.
That's just not my style.
I don't know. It really has been ages since I last logged in or even joined the chat. Moreso with my job, my time has effectively been reduced to null. But i still recall the days.....
Joy in roleplaying. Let's narrow that down. Take note that the list below are different, different things.
A) Joy in creating worlds through words.
B) Joy in interacting with other characters.
C) Having fun.
Let's take a small look at C) and stare long and hard at a solid fact.
What someone may find enjoyable will be viewed as UNenjoyable by someone else. That's a fact. Since 'someone' and 'someone' is undefined, what i'm trying to say is that what you like may not be what others like.
Let's look at the multiverse or rather, let's look at the spirit of the multiverse years ago, when i first joined.
The multiverse. Where multidimensions collide! where anything and everything can happen.
I feel like playing romance. giant robots attacking the bar? Screw the giant robots, i came here for romance and i shall have my romance and i'm perfectly elligable to do so under the law that says multidimensions exist, and so, the two situations are at seperate events.
So why remain in gambit's bar? Because it also allows me to read on the other situation and find enjoyment in it. 2) allows me to see friends, and friends to see me and 3) allow others to take note of the roleplay i have going on, and if they are interested, ask me/the rp people if they could join.
And so the romance was broken by the girl's husband appearing, and punching the daylights out of my character.
That aside...
Let's look at the newbies....... na wait. I don't think i even want to talk about newbies and how they would react to 'canon' multiverse. I'll end my post here.
Re: The Multiverse: Where Do We Go?
After five years, of course they are protective. For some of the players. their nation has become their baby. Let them play. They've already said that they don't care if you don't acknowledge their canon. the only thing is, if you interact with any of the nations in that canon, than you must acknowledge said canon. That's just manners!
Manners hold the world together, you know.
I want you, for half a moment, to consider how very super duper large the multiverse is.
There are around 332 rooms. Assuming I counted correctly, and with that number I tend to have an error margin of 1 or 2, than that is still a huge lot of rooms. These rooms, since the archives first begin around 2009-08-17 around 16:00 hr or 4 pm (which is after, you know, the multiverse actually began as an RP). In that time, they have an average of 4004.9428 posts, with some rooms having non, and Gambit's Bar, by far the largest, having 1,010,188 posts. There is a total in the visible rooms of 1,329,641, and I know I've RPed in rooms not on that list, using the move commands to get to hidden warrens. This is hardly the truth, as some of the newest or most convoluted rooms don't have any posts. Hence, we can assume an even greater number of posts than listed since mid August, 2009.
With some posts lost, not recorded due to glitches, or some rooms not recorded, I'd say over the three year period a modest estimate of extra posts is 500.
Are we supposed to assume the canon of 1.3 million posts? What about where players have gone back, and chosen to 're-write' their characters history? What then?
Now, you may claim the numbers don't matter, the people do. Not all of the too-many-to-count-and-besides-I-can't-find-a-number players still RP at all, much less RP in the multiverse. Some of the thousands of characters used in the multiverse haven't a single post to their name, because the planned plot failed, or what have you.
So if we go for consensus based, than there is no NRP any more, because, trust me, the consensus is wildly against them. In a multi-verse which assumes multiple dimension, and multiple versions of the same planet and the same bar, than how fair is it to say 'Oh sorry, I know you've been working on this for several years now, but all that effort, all the writing, the planning, the knowledge learned to best deploy this and that, it's all in vain'?
Here's the thing.
Let me make if very clear.
The Multiverse as an RP assumes that multiple dimensions exist.
Again.
The Multiverse as an RP assumes that multiple dimensions exist.
I could repeat myself again, but I think twice ought to be enough.
In other words, why do you want to enforce a canon on an RP where multiple canons exist? There's no need to pick and choose what to keep and what to throw out. Frankly, it can all happen at the same time. The planet can be glassed and not be glassed at the exact same time. A character can exist, and can not exist at the exact same time. It can, in fact, be day and night at the exact same time.
Multiple dimensions. Ha! Aren't they fun?

See, this is what I was going for with the why bother RPing in the multiverse at all bit. If you're only including eight other people, and wouldnt be happy with anyone else dropping in and trying to be included, then you may as well not RP in the multiverse at all? I'm not saying that what you're doing is a bad thing, just that from the sounds of it you could quite easily make it a private RP elsewhere and change absolutely nothing about it.
Maybe I haven't been clear. In this plot of eight or ten people I have recently found myself sacrificing character development because I was so busy trying to manage scenes in the plot. Its not 'I don't want to RP with more than eight people' it's a literal lack of ability to manage the plot with any more players. I haven't picked these eight players and then said 'Your characters may now only roleplay with other characters involved with this plot' and in fact there are many side plots running that do contribute to character development that are not overall directly connected to my plot. Additionally, this plot is open ended. At the finish I expect there to be half a dozen loose ends which will lead to continued roleplaying with these people and others.
I'm not trying to cut myself off from the greater part of the community, I'm at my limit of GMing ability.
In fact, this roleplay spawned from interactions with another player, and the effects they had on my character, along with my own desire to have a more epic plot and to make something really big and special and involve a bunch of people. Why the Multiverse? Because after its over I can continue using the characters involved and continue seeing the characters involved. The end of the plot is not the true end. The beginning is not the true beginning.
If at this point you're still saying 'Why not do it in your own RP' I think you're missing the general spirit of the Multiverse.
Alright, let's look on it in a different light. If everyone agrees with something except for me, does this mean I have to deal with it or does my opinion override everyone elses? And when this happens, what if it is significant to my character? Like, by cause and effect my character would be dead?
Re: The Multiverse: Where Do We Go?
I am currently packing eight skilled roleplayers into the plot. On active days I am dual RPing with them and don't have time for any other roleplaying. I tried to include as many people as I could, and I found that as a GM in a chat scenario this is about my max.
So... what would be the difference between doing this in the multiverse and/or basing this in your own Tab based RP chat area? See, this is what I was going for with the why bother RPing in the multiverse at all bit. If you're only including eight other people, and wouldnt be happy with anyone else dropping in and trying to be included, then you may as well not RP in the multiverse at all? I'm not saying that what you're doing is a bad thing, just that from the sounds of it you could quite easily make it a private RP elsewhere and change absolutely nothing about it.
As for visiting RPG's chat, and knowing you. No. Not anymore. Used to, but that was a while back, under a different mien. I've changed my face since then and havent been into the chat since. I'm going to field the obvious question now, which is 'So how the hell can you have an opinion on this.' Handily, it also ties in with Arceius's statement that you cant have a universal canon.
I'm currently involved in another site with several thousand members, several hundred of whom could be called regular users. The site is almost entirely chat based, as in 95%, with the other 5% user created media. It has a sitewide canon, enforced by the player base, updated as and when events happen. And major events do happen. Factions spring up, break down. Major places get annihilated. People die.
It works. Because everyone knows what's expected of them. And because everyone self moderates. If someone turned up and started, ooh, lets say glassing planets with space bombardments, then the regulars, at least those with the power to oppose them, would be able to oppose them.
Arceius says
So, in the end, this isn't a question of adding canon to the multiverse. It's a question of what canon would you like to upkeep for users to interact with?
See, this is essentially what I'm on about. It's a question of what's kept. And that's down to consensus rule. If you've got a strong, estabilished player base then they can and will maintain the canon. They have a vested interest in doing so.
With this a lesser skilled player could, say, go back in time and say they were the original creator of the world, or establish that they own a city or some other convulutance. Establish a long lost lineage to an important established character. And that's fine, if its one person, but if it becomes a group of four or eight? There comes a point where enough roleplayers make it count, and then what happens to the other people in the canon? Do they just have to accept it because the player played it? It becomes a matter of how far does it go.
Here's the thing. Not everything would have to be kept. All these world shattering events you seem to think would happen would and could be controlled and opposed. You've got to realise that for every mookle who'd think that springing back in time and turning themselves into the de facto ruler of the universe ultra awesome gary stu, you'd have ten more who'd think that was ridiculous and oppose it. It's group rule, and with so many regulars here, so many estabilished people, the ability of one person to drop in and screw everything up is almost nothing, unless all the regulars just sit on by and let them do it. Would you, if someone dropped in to this RP you've been running for so long, worked so hard to create? If you wouldnt, then why wouldnt everyone else?
