Introduction
You are walking through a town, when suddenly a messenager runs up to you with urgency in his voice. "You have been permitted an Oracle" he says quickly. Before you can reply, he runs off down the street. You decide to see what's so important, so you turn it on.
Oracle: Activated
A shady figure appears, sitting on a chair. He has some sort of drink beside him and both hand together. "Now, before I start I must state you are very lucky to receive one of these Oracles. Out of hundreds of thousands, only a couple hundred have received it. You should consider yourself lucky since I have some very important information to tell you. Now, let us begin."
"Oh, do you remember the great battle? When the soldiers placed on their cybernetic armor and electric-ran weapons. It is a time when melee flourished, cybernetic super-suits were used but no guns." He pauses, taking a sip of a exotic drink and continues. "There were two types of 'magic', hackers who could literally shut down their enemies’ weapons and armor or more of an actual Sorcerer, who can literally hack into reality with a certain staff, it normally based on one element." He seemed to skip some sentences.. your wondering in your mind if he is possibly mad. "The one where all the kingdoms and factions took sides, assisted each other? Did the impossible of trusting each other." He leans back upon his chair, looking up towards the sky... or as you think.
"Oh Winter, he was such a fool to think that his Kingdom could take down Summer, Spring's, and The Poets'. But, did he really fail all that bad? He destroyed nearly all of Spring's kingdom even though the strongest, Summer, promised to give them refuge, fame, and riches if they helped them in the war. They sent only five hundred of their troops to Spring while the other hundred thousand stayed at Summer's kingdom." He stop a moment to chuckle lightly. "Oh, Summer, they're supposed to be the good of the Kingdoms. They failed their allies of war and left most of it in ruins. But, in this world of cruelty and deception their is another greed." He pointed his fingers towards himself, as if to make a point. "Me, Mercury, king of thieves, had stolen Winter's staff to stop him from summoning the demons to destroy the world. Now you think that I am is good, right? No, I am neutral, simply stealing whatever for whoever for a large number of coins. I also have many followers, all of which stayed strong even when I was locked away in a Sky-scraper cell after the war. Summer, still considered me a criminal, which I am, after the war. I still hold faith in my Followers for they will break me from my cell."
"Autumn has been a forgotten King, he and his kingdom getting the worse of the war." He shook his head lightly, as if stopping to recall the loss of an old friend. "They were the master sorcerers, where most of the Elementalists had come from. Once Autumn was entirely taken over by Winter, Winter grew massive after the taking of Autumn's land. Autumn was rich in a magical stone, called Jut, and was used to supply magical-power for Winter's kingdom. Autumn adapted into the Elementalists, and even present day the Elementalists are near death. I, Mercury, had originated my group in Autumn. After it was nearly completely taken I had fled, seeking refuge in Spring’s kingdom. I continued my work from there."
"The Poets suffered few losses, but even few were many when you only hold an five hundred count army. While everyone else had their cheers of victories and sufferings of the war, Otelay seeked shelter in Winter’s below freezing mountains. Otelay assisted Winter in the Great War, but as soon as they had gotten the plunder of the war they went into hiding. They are such barbaric, self centered humans, focusing only on themselves and not giving a care for the rest of the world." He did a slight, though disapproving, shake of his head. "The Elementalists are a mix of Sorcerers and Hackers. Their hideout is in Summer's Southern part of the kingdom, probably having some of the most advanced technology out of all the Factions and Kingdoms."
"Secluded away in the Great Forest hold the Nimfs. They are a Elven-Looking humans, with normally blue eyes and blonde hair. The Nimfs favor Summer's kingdom even though they never joined the Great War. They are a peaceful sort but if necessary, they will attack and put up a excellent fight. They are also wicked shot with a bow. Their homes hang high in the trees, almost entirely of wood. This is very odd for the rest of the world, the only similar of lack-of-technology would be The Poets. Instead of using the Electronically used melee weapons they stuck to "old fashioned" arrows, however knowing just about every chink in all of their opponents armor. The Nimfs normally never accept any outsider, if so it would normally obviously be a soldier of Summer." His expression hardened after speaking of this next topic.
"In the ruined areas of Spring's kingdom it has been being secretly rebuilt. Since no one has any business/need to explore the ruins Bandits have moved in and started an entire city there. They go by the name Vunnate, named after their infamous outlaw leader Vunna. In there, all the outcasts, misfits, unwanted member of all the kingdoms have come for all the same thing on their mind.. Revenge. They favor Otelay's clan, and because of the wide spread of different races it is a wild mix of technology and weapons. Peasants from various kingdoms go there to seek a new beginning, many successful and finding themselves from dirt poor to beyond wealthy. They don't take too kindly to any Summer or Spring's soldiers and host Execution Festivals monthly for the slaughter of Kingdom Troops."
"This will be dangerous for me to say, but I feel whoever receives these needs to know everything. The Silent, an band of anonymous assassins bent to make the war and change it for their own purposes. They have an estimated number of twenty members, all determined on changing the war for their own purposes. Their main base was rumored to be in Vunna's capitol in some sort of warehouse. If you were to find them, you will most likely get killed. If you get too popular, you may be threatened."
"The undergrounds of an unclaimed land holds the stronghold of the Liles, south of Winter's kingdom. The Liles are average humans, however not believing in any of the war that has been going on. Their entire base is Steam-Powered, even though it's a wonder they didn't stick to the average Cybernetic-Style. They were the first to create actual moving vehicles, though Steampunk. Their most famous is of a mini "track-wheeled" tank." He smiles lightly, as if enjoying the 'new' idea. "It fires only a gust of fire, mainly for the extermination of nearby trees to expand building room. The Liles and Nimfs have had a long-time rivalry and if one of the mini tanks had ever gotten into their kingdom, their kingdom would be destroyed easily. These are probably the most sophisticated of all the Factions and Kingdoms, but maybe one of the hardest to enter."
"This is the story of our "glorious" kingdom.." He made a face, as if disgusted to even be a 'member' of the land. "However, I'm afraid that a new war is threatening this time with all Factions and Kingdoms joining in. Spring now despises Summer, The Poets are showing pity for Spring, Winter is building up his Army, Summer is swimming in his riches unaware of the danger awaiting, Liles are moving forward to more ferocious machines, Nimfs are open to assist Summer at all cost, The Elementalists are creating staffs that could dominate the world, Vunna's militia is growing stronger, Otelay's supporters growing more, and I destined to break out of here."
"So, I can see that war is approaching soon. As I said, all factions will take a side. This time, I don't think that a Kingdom isn't going to stop until they rule the entire land."
Oracle: Transmission Over.

The Kingdoms
Land Description-
Summer: Almost entirely cybernetic, almost not a inch of vegetation near Central Area. Their buildings are normally very artistic and advanced then most of other since that they have so much more riches after the war. Right when the war ended Summer had gotten to work on constructing their military/culture bigger and better. That, they had done. In the southern part of Summer's kingdom is where the Nimf's civilization dwells.
Spring: It has fallen behind in technology and most of the land is either occupied by The Poets or Vunnate. Vunnate's land is nearly completely destroyed but a scarce supply of food. Likely, Otelay has been assisting them and sending food, water, and materials. The capitol, named Otade, after Otelay, is the largest of all of them. Other small towns and villages there are nameless. The Poets have adapted a small amount of land but it was cut close to a large river. They made old 19th century stone buildings, based at the time of 1800 AD. Spring's actual kingdom, just a little bit less then half the size of Summer's, is also far behind. They have few cities and only major buildings would be Cybernetic.
Winter: Mountainous terrain, nearly always in the negatives. Sun almost never comes up, if so for only around four hours. Winter's capitol, Thermata, is perched on the mountains, the actual palace near the top. Otelay lays west if Thermata, positioned near the end of a mountain range. Lots of the citizens are starving and much would rather be living in Summer's kingdom. The Liles are probably the warmest people in the entire kingdom instead of Winter himself, since that they are heated by their Steampunk-powered base. It lets off such a steam that nearly no snow is found by the entrances/up ground powerhouses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factions and Kingdoms Descriptions
Mercury's Followers-
Current Allies: None
Major Enemies: None
Mercury, the king of thieves, has his own band of followers. They are normally concealed in black robes, with nothing more then knifes and daggers. They normally do tasks that involve stealing. They are masters of stealth, no real main settlement. They normally never kill on a job.
Summer's Kingdom-
Current Allies: Nimfs
Major Enemies: Winter, Otelay, [It Would Be Vunnate, But no one except Winter and Otelay know of them.]
On average, tan skin, striking light blonde hair and blue eyes. Normally long hair down to their waists, both men and woman. They resemble the Liles, partly because Liles are Summer's kingdom natives. Summer has some of the best Cybernetic weapons and use Electric Swords more then any other weapon. [The cybernetic suites make you faster, quicker, and stronger.] The sword could hit the armor of an enemy’s cybernetic suite and it could fry the "brain" of the suite, making them collapse and completely useless. The average Summer soldier has an Silver-Colored Cyber Suite, Almost chainmill, Crimson Red "Power Lines" running down the armor, and a medium helmet. It covers the back of their head, has a "nose guard" and a large space for the eyes. This has been proven terrible in battle, due to Winter's trick of aiming for the eyes. Higher ranks have golden-looking suite instead. It is full bodied, much more affective then Chainmill, Black Power lines and an full helmet. The full helmet eye-placement is ten times more protective, a metal strip going across with lines opened up going down so you would be able to see. Summer's armor is almost identical to the High Ranks, only having golden wings, small size, coming out of the side.
Spring's Kingdom-
Current Allies- The Poets, The Elementalist, Liles
Major Enemies- Winter, Otelay, [It Would Be Vunnate, But no one except Winter and Otelay know of them.]
Most popular eye color is Hazel, nearly no one else in the kingdom has Hazel eyes. Normally Light Brown or Jet Black hair, cut short for both men and woman. Due to their major loss in the war they are low on supplies, weapons, and armors. Only half of them of Cybernetic Suites. Main weapon, if any, would be Over-Ride Trident. When you hit somebody with it, successfully going into them, it over-rides their Cybernetic Suite and literally bakes them inside them in their suites. Only a few buildings are Cybernetic Ran, those being Government buildings, most others being made of metal/stone. Stone the poorest, most "unadvanced" buildings and metal being in between. Their Cybernetic suites are a wild mismatch of colors, [due to shortage of cybernetic suites], confusing on battlefield, and lower class suites on average. Spring never sticks to a single suite of armor, always wearing a different one for every battle.
Winter's Kingdom-
Current Allies- Vunate, Otelay
Major Enemies- Spring, Summer, Liles, The Poets, The Elementalist
Gray/Black Eyes, White hair. Where Autumn's kingdom use lay is mainly large Jut mines. All of Autumn's previous citizens, those who had not fled in time, where put to work. Only the strong survived. Autumns are now Lifetime slaves for Winter's citizens, a large amount of cruelty striking them around every corner. Few actually escape Winter's clutches and cross the border to Spring's kingdom where they are welcomed openly to both Vunna's cities and towns and to Spring himself. Many of Winter's citizens are under poor conditions, that of a one bedroom house and small living area. The very wealthy would normally have three bedrooms. Everyone of Winter's troops have Cybernetic Armor, it being in the middle-class level. It is the only Kingdom (Or Faction) that can activate camouflage. This was possible when Jut was put into it and altered into a fine dust that powers the suite. When it isn't in camouflage, it's a fine white. Every soldier is issued the same cybernetic armor, the power lines being purple [Due to the Jut] and an emblem on the side. Lower ranks have a sort of crystal-metal patch, higher ranks have a snowflake, and Winter himself has a staff. Winter is a master Sorcerer, who has controls over all Elements but a master of Water.
The Poets-
Current Allies- Spring, Liles, The Elementalists
Major Enemies- Winter, Otelay
The Poets are probably the most contrasted from everyone else. Instead of Cybernetic Suites, they wear actual Suites, fine ones. Their rank is provided by their top hats. One of an white band would be a new recruit, black being a basic trooper then red being an loyal, worthy soldier. After that when they were permitted to High Ranks they received different color Roses, white would be an basic Officer, black an commander, and red for Devin's council. Devin is the leader of The Poets, normally wearing a "drama" mask and the other side of his face painted black. He himself has a blue rose, though not fitting his entire look. Instead of The Poets having cybernetic weapons, they had guns. Though based in the 1800s, these are very effective. They mainly had Flintlocks and Bolt-Actions, however the High Ranks were permitted Muskets. They modified the gun to be able to put in special rounds, as far as EMP Bullets, Explosive Rounds, and Electricity Bullets.
Otelay-
Current Allies- Winter, Vunnate
Major Enemies- Spring, Summer, The Poets, The Elementalist
Otelay's soldiers are nothing more then Brutes and Savages.. but that is excellent to have in war. None wear Cybernetic suites, rather animal pelts and scraps of clothing. They actually have some of the strongest weapons, customarily made by Winter just for Otelay's troops. These include Cybernetic Battle Axes, Sledgehammers, and Great Swords. After the Great War, Otelay and his Barbarians hid in Winter's mountain range, Ushol, to rest, then train. Otelay himself has a strong build-type, a steel helmet with horns pointing upwards, a large pelt, and a Cybernetic Battle Axe.
The Elementalists-
Current Allies- The Poets, Spring
Major Enemies- Winter, Otelay
The Elementalists are in a land of their own, unmarked. They are always low on food although always making great new spells. In the land they are in, there are some type of tree that pours out a type of Golden Dust. This is called Yuen. Yuen is wickedly bright and when infused with clothes to enable uses of exclusive "spells". They have always wore Robes, laced with Yuen cloth and often Jut bracelets and necklaces. Their base is almost entirely underground, like the Liles. Their leader, Kel, has a hooded robe, all infused with Yuen. Kel has a staff made almost entirely of Jut. At the top is Black Diamond, many says that it traps the souls of enemies after you have killed them. The Elementalists think that this is true, claiming that after a war when you break up the Black Diamond and make it dusty, then inserting in a small metal cylinder and keeping it with them has made their 'magical' power more.
The Silent-
Current Allies- None
Major Enemies- None
The neutral of the land, looking for the good of the war for themselves. They have no uniform, always blending in. It is rumored they do have a red X tattooed on their hand. They try to make their present known by few, but still make big effects on the land. There is no true leader. It would be near impossible to even find one of their bases, suicide trying to join. They keep to small, concealed weapons.
Liles-
Current Allies- The Poets, Spring
Major Enemies- Nimfs
Liles are the brains of the land, people who you would want on your side. They have many successful machines, all very effective in some way. They normally never fight right on the field but behind scenes. That may be as far as discussing a good tactic, commanding a remote-control steampunk vehicle, or is supplying various weapons/medical care. Tiy, the Steampunk Mastermind, is the leader of the Liles.
Nimfs-
Current Allies- Summer
Major Enemies- Liles, Winter, Otelay
Nimfs are basically the Elvens of the land. Their base hangs high in the trees, vulnerable to any fire attacks. They have various types of arrows, the most popular being Kint. Kint Arrows are a type that is covered in a type of poison that normally makes the person hallucinate. This would drive them insane, and the stronger it is the longer the hallucinations stay. A large amount can make you permanently insane. There is a certain type of fire arrow, so hot that it can burn through a cyber-suite then pierce your skin. They mainly wear leather chaps, and would never be caught dead wearing a cybernetic-suite. Their leader is Aynor, a taller Elven who has been known as an great warrior.
Vunnate-
Current Allies- Otelay, Winter
Major Enemies- Spring, Summer
No real uniform, no real basic weapons. Just a wild mix of races, culture, and style to form one large settlement, all ruled by one man, named Vunna. Vunna was an infamous bandit that saw opportunity in the ruins of Spring's kingdom. No one knows of them except Otelay and Winter, both allies. If some other person were to stumble upon them, they would be killed in an Execution Festival.
Scrappies-
Current Allies- Vunnate
Major Enemies- None
Scrappies are a underground civilazation of psychopaths and druggies. Their un-named capitol is that of Vunnate's Capitol, Klen, of it's underground tunnels. Though Vunna's underground Cybernetic chamber intersects with the Scrappies' chambers, it is sealed off. They pledged that they would never attack/revoult against each other, though Vunna often uses the easy manipulated people as puppets. One of the only Sane citizens of The Scrappie civilazation is Salmon, the leader. He is rumored to be a X-Summer Captain, said to have abandoned his duty to hide out in the underground. There are many passage/tunnelways into the Underground, though they are normally hidden well. Even if you did find one, there are plenty of Dead Ends/Trap, many people never even make it to a Civilazation, most getting lost.
NOTICE: Based on current Alliances and Major Enemies, some may be easier and harder to get a alliance with.
Example:
Spring allying with Otelay would be near impossiable since Otelay and Winter are Major Allies, and they fought against each other in the previous war.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clans
The Yallen-
Current Allies-None
Major Enemies-Nearly All
The Yallen is band of Highway Bandits and muggers. They mainly dress in rugged scraps/have scarfs that completely cover their head.

Major Enemies- Nearly All
The Rooks are all cybernetic suit wearing beasts. They have large axes and do many raids. They have 10 men plus their leader Ralen, a well educated tactitian from Autunm. They have never lost a raid since their begining. Killing their leader Ralen or just allying them would make them a very valuable asset.
The Leauge Of Highwaymen
Current Allies- None
Major Enemies- The Yallen
The LOH is a very seruouis guild of highwaymen and crooks. They are always pulling off raids on travelers and are quite rich. Each is armed with an extremly light cybertnetic suit, mainly to improve movement, and a Cybernetic One-Handed Sword, or two cybernetic knives. They are the closest of the clans to being a faction, and are much more serious than the other clans. They have about 70 members, and a secret tactical base near The Great Catacombs. They have recently taken an interst in The Yallen, and are on a path to destroy their hideout and capture their members.

Location- Western Winter
Naent is a smaller city, filled with thieves and beggars. It is also where a high population of The Followers of Mercury are, taking part in various secret rooms and sewers of the City.

-Beach of the Fallen-
Location- Southern Spring
This Beach is said to be magical, it's water being magical and it's beings aswell. Though few actually make the trek to The Beach, even fewer make it.

-The Seasonal Valley-
Location- South Western Winter
This Valley contains many valuable minerals, but also a good tactical position due to its centralized position. The seasons varry, so the Valley is always perfect for one specific nation. Changes are rapid and violent. When the valley switches to Autumn, it will most likely become a massive war ground.
-The Dry Border-
Location- Between Spring and Summer's Lands
The main warzone between the two Kingdoms. It contains many strong and sturdy watch towers and light forts. Recources have all been collected, but the ground is flat and good for fighting. Control of this area gives a positional advantage to its owner. Despite the oppurtunity for all out combat, the area is very peaceful. It is mainly minor assualts, assinations, briberys, and rouges that cuase the changing of hands.
-The Spring Stockpile-
Location- Central Spring
This area has all the main recources of the Spring army. Here, armour is remade and reused for future soldiers. It also carries rations and crystals. It is heavily guarded by a crew of elite warriors known as The Jumpers. They are quick moving and very smart. Taking them down would not only give the victor much supplies, but also much honor. They dress in some type of Crystal Suit, specially made for them by the Elementalists.
-The White Castle-
Location- Central Winter
The great White Castle is a valuable asset to the Winter forces. Here, Neptune guards and watches over the Knights and Workers. Defences are costantly prepared and improved. This area also is a strategic fall back point, and the controler of it can attack well into Winter, or Winter can attack well into its enemies. It also carries many suit smiths and weapon smiths, so armour and weapons are not an issue.
-Slander-
Location- Eastern Territory of the Elementalists
Slander is a medium sized town, it's population mainly that of Sorcerors. It is right by one of the Kingdom's wonders, a giant spiked rock formation. It is also said that some of the finest seen potion-masters have hung around here.

The stones have stood for over three thousaund years. Its unknown who made them or what their purpose is, but on them are inscirbed ancient runes. In the center of the stones is a massive stone altar, with more runes. It is said that offerings to the ancient stones will give one wisdom or power. Taking it might win over support of the nearby Nimfs, due to their respect to the stones.
-Tren-
Location- Outskirts of Liles' Territory
Tren is a large city, one of the few made entirely out of Metals. It is average in wealth, mines also surrounding the city. Every once in awhile a citizen of Liles will come to visit the city, sometimes boasting about their newest inventions.
-Klen-
Location- Central Vunnate
Klen is a HUGE city, it being the capitol of Vunnate. Different architectural style, different races, and different culture. In the center is a strange building, the "palace" of Klen, more of a dome bottom but a narrow skyscraper that stretches up to he sky. Inside the building is mainly Cybernetically controlled. At the very top is Vunna's throne room. The entire building is locked tight with security, so it would be near impossiable to actual do any damage from the inside if you were going to try to do so.
-Black Knight Inn-
Location- Western Summer
This Inn is more than it appears. On the outside, it has a shape similar to a horse. The back is low, while the front raises up. In the head is the room of Valus, the inn keeper. Now, inside the Inn, the livelyness is enough to shock any man. It is filled with people, drinking, fist fighting, mery making, and other joyus things. No one really knows why the inn was built, but one thing is certain. The ale is good. The Inn makes a ridicoulous amount of money from is prized ale recipe and has immense income. It also has an immense guard force, leg by Valus's two sons, Blen and Harlick. They have sword to protect they recipe of their fathers with their lives, and if they were to be killed, Valus's wrath would strike you down.
Notice- These are just some of the more important areas of The Kingdoms, there are still
other towns/cities/places, in general other then these ones.
Note: These are not the only citys/towns/areas of the Kingdoms, there are more. These are just some of the more important places.

Key Figures
-Thaw-
Faction/Kingdom- Autumn
Last Seen- Akut
Thaw was a highly respected Autumn commander, but once Autumn had been fully conquered he gathered up his remaining troops and fleed. While nearing Spring's border, he had found a small little hut. Out of curiousity, he opened and inside was a flight of stairs that went downwards. He walked down them, then realizing it was one of The Silent's safehouses. He gathered plenty of information, and at that time no Silent were taking refuge there. He had heard rumors about The Silent before, but he had never completely belived it. With his information he uncovered a few Silent members and many more Safehouse locations. Throughout that time, he has been keeping his identy well-hidden, knowing The Silent are after him.
-Zuona-
Faction/Kingdom- The Poets
Last Seen- Generally in Poets' Territory
Zuona is the best sharpshooter around.. though there is not that many, since only Nimfs and Poets actually have Ranged weapons. She is also a very skilled commander, famous for leading the defence against the borderlines of The Poets when Winter was attacking. Sixty-Eight Poets died, Three-Hundred and Twenty-Eight of Winter's troops were killed. After that battle, she was immediatly promoted to Devin's Council.
-Neptune-
Faction/Kingdom- Winter
Last Seen- White Castle
Neptune is a very noble fighter and rival of Mercury. He secretly had him imprisoned in the Sky Scraper cell, apposed to him being immediatly executed. He has won many battles, and slain many of his enemies, like the great Autumn commander Jupiter, an extremly large and fierce warrior. Winter has recently named him as his Grand General and if he has no sons or they die before age, his succesor for the crown. Neptune wears a fierce blue cybernetic suit and weilds a massive two handed longsword, double edged. His armour is enhanced with top notch quality tech. He has never lost a battle to Summer, or Spring. Mercury was one of the first to defeat him, and then Jupiter, just before he was slain like a dog in battle.
-Idus-
Faction/Kingdom- None
Last Seen- Fuit
Idus is a master in the art of Armour-Crafting, he making some of the finest protection in the land. No one else knows how to replicate his style, but many still try to anyways.

Jionha
Faction/Kingdom- Vunnate
Last Seen- Klen
Jionha is a famous philsopher and rebel. She had helped Vunna throughout the making of Klen and management of Vunnate Citizens. Jionha had also traveled nearly to every kingdom, telling the poor of Vunnate all the promises it beholds. Summer partically dislikes her, saying that she spreaded rumors that his laws were unfair, causing a mass amount of citizens from Summer to move to Vunnate territory.
-He Who Walks Alone-
Faction/Kingdom- None
Last Seen- An Inn At White Castle
This man is one of the most mysterious in the whole land. He is from Winter, yet has no allegiances. No one knows his name or his goal. Some say he is ultamitly powerful and from another dimesion, search for something. Others say he is a spy, but from what nation depends on the sayer. One thing is known. He carriers a Cybernetic sword that if you touch it, you'll freeze solid.
-Shalt-
Faction/Kingdom- Nimfs
Last Seen- Hyple
Shalt is an insanely popular celebrity, many sellers drooling at his feet and begging him to advertise their product. He often travels around the Areas/Kingdoms he's welcomed in, throwing magnifecient parties and speeching about his achivements. If he's at a party, he will immediatly be the center of attention. He is a native to the Nimfs, giving him an Elveish look. This may not seem like a character that would be important to have, but many followers listen to their idol's word, if you get what I'm saying.
-Latone-
Faction/Kingdom- Liles
Last Seen- Has been in Solitude for awhile, rumored to be hiding out in Liles' main fortress
Latone is one of the most magnificent inventors around. He has exceeded in many different fields technology, from Weapons to Agriculture. Since he has had an reputation as an excellent "maker", he has made marvelous friends with Tiy, the leader of the Liles, over the years.
-Monna-
Faction/Kingdom- None
Last Seen- Naent
Monna was a X-Winter soldier, they not appreciating her excellence with tactics. She has some of the best war plans imaginable, but they only work if EVERYONE does their assigned jobs. After she had quit, Winter was in an outrage. She is uncertain of what path to take as far as Factions and Kingdoms.

You're Still Here by Poets of the Fall
Mercury dances in it's skyscraper cell,
Rising and falling in rhapsody,
And I see Winter's broken like lace,
In time for a celebration
Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners,
Delighting in it's evident victory
Till I feel Springtime counting its days
Of flaunting a novel sensation
Like it's leaving,
Leaving behind the weight
Vying
For yesteryear
Leaving
Promises in its wake,
Whispering
My Love
You're Still Here
You're Still Here
Hold onto your memories of sundogs and rainbows,
As time writes a premature eulogy
And I feel Summertime passing in haste,
Like running out of patience
Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarves
And a mild understanding of irony
I feel Autumn leaving the race,
All done with the exhilaration
Like it's leaving,
Leaving behind the weight
Vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake,
Whispering
My Love
You're Still Here
You're Still Here
Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell,
Rising and falling in harmony
And I feel Winter stealing my days,
To herald another creation
[Surprisingly, I based this entire RP after this short song.]

Normally shows no emotion, due to my hard training of being one of Mercury's thieves. I do rarely open up and talk, but I would have to know you for quite awhile, then trusting you. This happens rarely.
"Oh, what are your skills?" [Two At Most, Nothing extreme.]:

"Everyone has some flaws. What are yours?":
Sometimes I get confused and miscaulculate directions/maps, resulting in going to the wrong destination. This would prove bad if I were to be leading a small group and accidently marched right into enemy territory.
"Please, tell me about yourself." [Bio.]
I was born in Spring's kingdom, in poor conditions since that I was born a little bit after the war and my Father's farm had been burned and riches stolen so he had to start from scratch. When I was 8, sometimes I had to steal various food for my family since that we barley had enough money to maintain ourselfs. I also practiced Lockpicking, knowing that this would help me out alot more when stealing. That and my father had a drinking habit... I would have ran away, but I was too young at the time. I waited, at the same time still stealing to keep myself alive. Finally, when I became 17 I made a break for it. I ran off to a village, still in Spring's kingdom, and found myself in the local inn. Some fellows in Black Cloaks invited me over, and I accepted. They asked me why I was here, and I explained that I had ran away. They wanted me to do an task, I was partly scared that they would kill me if I didn't do as I wished so I accepted. In the local market there was an golden necklace and one claimed that it had been stolen from them. I didn't exactly belive it, but I did the job anyways. I took the necklace from the locked compartment, obviously lockpicking it, and gave the men in cloaks the necklace. They said that they were of The Followers of Mercury and asked if I would want to stay with them for awhile. I accepeted, following them while learning new technices. Present day, I'm an full member and currently by myself.
(Excuse the slight difference, my CS is from the previous version of EoW.)
Oracle: Activated
A shady figure appears, sitting on a chair. He has some sort of drink beside him and both hand together. "Now, before I start I must state you are very lucky to receive one of these Oracles. Out of hundreds of thousands, only a couple hundred have received it. You should consider yourself lucky since I have some very important information to tell you. Now, let us begin."
"Oh, do you remember the great battle? When the soldiers placed on their cybernetic armor and electric-ran weapons. It is a time when melee flourished, cybernetic super-suits were used but no guns." He pauses, taking a sip of a exotic drink and continues. "There were two types of 'magic', hackers who could literally shut down their enemies’ weapons and armor or more of an actual Sorcerer, who can literally hack into reality with a certain staff, it normally based on one element." He seemed to skip some sentences.. your wondering in your mind if he is possibly mad. "The one where all the kingdoms and factions took sides, assisted each other? Did the impossible of trusting each other." He leans back upon his chair, looking up towards the sky... or as you think.
"Oh Winter, he was such a fool to think that his Kingdom could take down Summer, Spring's, and The Poets'. But, did he really fail all that bad? He destroyed nearly all of Spring's kingdom even though the strongest, Summer, promised to give them refuge, fame, and riches if they helped them in the war. They sent only five hundred of their troops to Spring while the other hundred thousand stayed at Summer's kingdom." He stop a moment to chuckle lightly. "Oh, Summer, they're supposed to be the good of the Kingdoms. They failed their allies of war and left most of it in ruins. But, in this world of cruelty and deception their is another greed." He pointed his fingers towards himself, as if to make a point. "Me, Mercury, king of thieves, had stolen Winter's staff to stop him from summoning the demons to destroy the world. Now you think that I am is good, right? No, I am neutral, simply stealing whatever for whoever for a large number of coins. I also have many followers, all of which stayed strong even when I was locked away in a Sky-scraper cell after the war. Summer, still considered me a criminal, which I am, after the war. I still hold faith in my Followers for they will break me from my cell."
"Autumn has been a forgotten King, he and his kingdom getting the worse of the war." He shook his head lightly, as if stopping to recall the loss of an old friend. "They were the master sorcerers, where most of the Elementalists had come from. Once Autumn was entirely taken over by Winter, Winter grew massive after the taking of Autumn's land. Autumn was rich in a magical stone, called Jut, and was used to supply magical-power for Winter's kingdom. Autumn adapted into the Elementalists, and even present day the Elementalists are near death. I, Mercury, had originated my group in Autumn. After it was nearly completely taken I had fled, seeking refuge in Spring’s kingdom. I continued my work from there."
"The Poets suffered few losses, but even few were many when you only hold an five hundred count army. While everyone else had their cheers of victories and sufferings of the war, Otelay seeked shelter in Winter’s below freezing mountains. Otelay assisted Winter in the Great War, but as soon as they had gotten the plunder of the war they went into hiding. They are such barbaric, self centered humans, focusing only on themselves and not giving a care for the rest of the world." He did a slight, though disapproving, shake of his head. "The Elementalists are a mix of Sorcerers and Hackers. Their hideout is in Summer's Southern part of the kingdom, probably having some of the most advanced technology out of all the Factions and Kingdoms."
"Secluded away in the Great Forest hold the Nimfs. They are a Elven-Looking humans, with normally blue eyes and blonde hair. The Nimfs favor Summer's kingdom even though they never joined the Great War. They are a peaceful sort but if necessary, they will attack and put up a excellent fight. They are also wicked shot with a bow. Their homes hang high in the trees, almost entirely of wood. This is very odd for the rest of the world, the only similar of lack-of-technology would be The Poets. Instead of using the Electronically used melee weapons they stuck to "old fashioned" arrows, however knowing just about every chink in all of their opponents armor. The Nimfs normally never accept any outsider, if so it would normally obviously be a soldier of Summer." His expression hardened after speaking of this next topic.
"In the ruined areas of Spring's kingdom it has been being secretly rebuilt. Since no one has any business/need to explore the ruins Bandits have moved in and started an entire city there. They go by the name Vunnate, named after their infamous outlaw leader Vunna. In there, all the outcasts, misfits, unwanted member of all the kingdoms have come for all the same thing on their mind.. Revenge. They favor Otelay's clan, and because of the wide spread of different races it is a wild mix of technology and weapons. Peasants from various kingdoms go there to seek a new beginning, many successful and finding themselves from dirt poor to beyond wealthy. They don't take too kindly to any Summer or Spring's soldiers and host Execution Festivals monthly for the slaughter of Kingdom Troops."
"This will be dangerous for me to say, but I feel whoever receives these needs to know everything. The Silent, an band of anonymous assassins bent to make the war and change it for their own purposes. They have an estimated number of twenty members, all determined on changing the war for their own purposes. Their main base was rumored to be in Vunna's capitol in some sort of warehouse. If you were to find them, you will most likely get killed. If you get too popular, you may be threatened."
"The undergrounds of an unclaimed land holds the stronghold of the Liles, south of Winter's kingdom. The Liles are average humans, however not believing in any of the war that has been going on. Their entire base is Steam-Powered, even though it's a wonder they didn't stick to the average Cybernetic-Style. They were the first to create actual moving vehicles, though Steampunk. Their most famous is of a mini "track-wheeled" tank." He smiles lightly, as if enjoying the 'new' idea. "It fires only a gust of fire, mainly for the extermination of nearby trees to expand building room. The Liles and Nimfs have had a long-time rivalry and if one of the mini tanks had ever gotten into their kingdom, their kingdom would be destroyed easily. These are probably the most sophisticated of all the Factions and Kingdoms, but maybe one of the hardest to enter."
"This is the story of our "glorious" kingdom.." He made a face, as if disgusted to even be a 'member' of the land. "However, I'm afraid that a new war is threatening this time with all Factions and Kingdoms joining in. Spring now despises Summer, The Poets are showing pity for Spring, Winter is building up his Army, Summer is swimming in his riches unaware of the danger awaiting, Liles are moving forward to more ferocious machines, Nimfs are open to assist Summer at all cost, The Elementalists are creating staffs that could dominate the world, Vunna's militia is growing stronger, Otelay's supporters growing more, and I destined to break out of here."
"So, I can see that war is approaching soon. As I said, all factions will take a side. This time, I don't think that a Kingdom isn't going to stop until they rule the entire land."
Oracle: Transmission Over.

The Kingdoms
Land Description-
Summer: Almost entirely cybernetic, almost not a inch of vegetation near Central Area. Their buildings are normally very artistic and advanced then most of other since that they have so much more riches after the war. Right when the war ended Summer had gotten to work on constructing their military/culture bigger and better. That, they had done. In the southern part of Summer's kingdom is where the Nimf's civilization dwells.
Spring: It has fallen behind in technology and most of the land is either occupied by The Poets or Vunnate. Vunnate's land is nearly completely destroyed but a scarce supply of food. Likely, Otelay has been assisting them and sending food, water, and materials. The capitol, named Otade, after Otelay, is the largest of all of them. Other small towns and villages there are nameless. The Poets have adapted a small amount of land but it was cut close to a large river. They made old 19th century stone buildings, based at the time of 1800 AD. Spring's actual kingdom, just a little bit less then half the size of Summer's, is also far behind. They have few cities and only major buildings would be Cybernetic.
Winter: Mountainous terrain, nearly always in the negatives. Sun almost never comes up, if so for only around four hours. Winter's capitol, Thermata, is perched on the mountains, the actual palace near the top. Otelay lays west if Thermata, positioned near the end of a mountain range. Lots of the citizens are starving and much would rather be living in Summer's kingdom. The Liles are probably the warmest people in the entire kingdom instead of Winter himself, since that they are heated by their Steampunk-powered base. It lets off such a steam that nearly no snow is found by the entrances/up ground powerhouses.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Factions and Kingdoms Descriptions
Mercury's Followers-
Current Allies: None
Major Enemies: None
Mercury, the king of thieves, has his own band of followers. They are normally concealed in black robes, with nothing more then knifes and daggers. They normally do tasks that involve stealing. They are masters of stealth, no real main settlement. They normally never kill on a job.
Summer's Kingdom-
Current Allies: Nimfs
Major Enemies: Winter, Otelay, [It Would Be Vunnate, But no one except Winter and Otelay know of them.]
On average, tan skin, striking light blonde hair and blue eyes. Normally long hair down to their waists, both men and woman. They resemble the Liles, partly because Liles are Summer's kingdom natives. Summer has some of the best Cybernetic weapons and use Electric Swords more then any other weapon. [The cybernetic suites make you faster, quicker, and stronger.] The sword could hit the armor of an enemy’s cybernetic suite and it could fry the "brain" of the suite, making them collapse and completely useless. The average Summer soldier has an Silver-Colored Cyber Suite, Almost chainmill, Crimson Red "Power Lines" running down the armor, and a medium helmet. It covers the back of their head, has a "nose guard" and a large space for the eyes. This has been proven terrible in battle, due to Winter's trick of aiming for the eyes. Higher ranks have golden-looking suite instead. It is full bodied, much more affective then Chainmill, Black Power lines and an full helmet. The full helmet eye-placement is ten times more protective, a metal strip going across with lines opened up going down so you would be able to see. Summer's armor is almost identical to the High Ranks, only having golden wings, small size, coming out of the side.
Spring's Kingdom-
Current Allies- The Poets, The Elementalist, Liles
Major Enemies- Winter, Otelay, [It Would Be Vunnate, But no one except Winter and Otelay know of them.]
Most popular eye color is Hazel, nearly no one else in the kingdom has Hazel eyes. Normally Light Brown or Jet Black hair, cut short for both men and woman. Due to their major loss in the war they are low on supplies, weapons, and armors. Only half of them of Cybernetic Suites. Main weapon, if any, would be Over-Ride Trident. When you hit somebody with it, successfully going into them, it over-rides their Cybernetic Suite and literally bakes them inside them in their suites. Only a few buildings are Cybernetic Ran, those being Government buildings, most others being made of metal/stone. Stone the poorest, most "unadvanced" buildings and metal being in between. Their Cybernetic suites are a wild mismatch of colors, [due to shortage of cybernetic suites], confusing on battlefield, and lower class suites on average. Spring never sticks to a single suite of armor, always wearing a different one for every battle.
Winter's Kingdom-
Current Allies- Vunate, Otelay
Major Enemies- Spring, Summer, Liles, The Poets, The Elementalist
Gray/Black Eyes, White hair. Where Autumn's kingdom use lay is mainly large Jut mines. All of Autumn's previous citizens, those who had not fled in time, where put to work. Only the strong survived. Autumns are now Lifetime slaves for Winter's citizens, a large amount of cruelty striking them around every corner. Few actually escape Winter's clutches and cross the border to Spring's kingdom where they are welcomed openly to both Vunna's cities and towns and to Spring himself. Many of Winter's citizens are under poor conditions, that of a one bedroom house and small living area. The very wealthy would normally have three bedrooms. Everyone of Winter's troops have Cybernetic Armor, it being in the middle-class level. It is the only Kingdom (Or Faction) that can activate camouflage. This was possible when Jut was put into it and altered into a fine dust that powers the suite. When it isn't in camouflage, it's a fine white. Every soldier is issued the same cybernetic armor, the power lines being purple [Due to the Jut] and an emblem on the side. Lower ranks have a sort of crystal-metal patch, higher ranks have a snowflake, and Winter himself has a staff. Winter is a master Sorcerer, who has controls over all Elements but a master of Water.
The Poets-
Current Allies- Spring, Liles, The Elementalists
Major Enemies- Winter, Otelay
The Poets are probably the most contrasted from everyone else. Instead of Cybernetic Suites, they wear actual Suites, fine ones. Their rank is provided by their top hats. One of an white band would be a new recruit, black being a basic trooper then red being an loyal, worthy soldier. After that when they were permitted to High Ranks they received different color Roses, white would be an basic Officer, black an commander, and red for Devin's council. Devin is the leader of The Poets, normally wearing a "drama" mask and the other side of his face painted black. He himself has a blue rose, though not fitting his entire look. Instead of The Poets having cybernetic weapons, they had guns. Though based in the 1800s, these are very effective. They mainly had Flintlocks and Bolt-Actions, however the High Ranks were permitted Muskets. They modified the gun to be able to put in special rounds, as far as EMP Bullets, Explosive Rounds, and Electricity Bullets.
Otelay-
Current Allies- Winter, Vunnate
Major Enemies- Spring, Summer, The Poets, The Elementalist
Otelay's soldiers are nothing more then Brutes and Savages.. but that is excellent to have in war. None wear Cybernetic suites, rather animal pelts and scraps of clothing. They actually have some of the strongest weapons, customarily made by Winter just for Otelay's troops. These include Cybernetic Battle Axes, Sledgehammers, and Great Swords. After the Great War, Otelay and his Barbarians hid in Winter's mountain range, Ushol, to rest, then train. Otelay himself has a strong build-type, a steel helmet with horns pointing upwards, a large pelt, and a Cybernetic Battle Axe.
The Elementalists-
Current Allies- The Poets, Spring
Major Enemies- Winter, Otelay
The Elementalists are in a land of their own, unmarked. They are always low on food although always making great new spells. In the land they are in, there are some type of tree that pours out a type of Golden Dust. This is called Yuen. Yuen is wickedly bright and when infused with clothes to enable uses of exclusive "spells". They have always wore Robes, laced with Yuen cloth and often Jut bracelets and necklaces. Their base is almost entirely underground, like the Liles. Their leader, Kel, has a hooded robe, all infused with Yuen. Kel has a staff made almost entirely of Jut. At the top is Black Diamond, many says that it traps the souls of enemies after you have killed them. The Elementalists think that this is true, claiming that after a war when you break up the Black Diamond and make it dusty, then inserting in a small metal cylinder and keeping it with them has made their 'magical' power more.
The Silent-
Current Allies- None
Major Enemies- None
The neutral of the land, looking for the good of the war for themselves. They have no uniform, always blending in. It is rumored they do have a red X tattooed on their hand. They try to make their present known by few, but still make big effects on the land. There is no true leader. It would be near impossible to even find one of their bases, suicide trying to join. They keep to small, concealed weapons.
Liles-
Current Allies- The Poets, Spring
Major Enemies- Nimfs
Liles are the brains of the land, people who you would want on your side. They have many successful machines, all very effective in some way. They normally never fight right on the field but behind scenes. That may be as far as discussing a good tactic, commanding a remote-control steampunk vehicle, or is supplying various weapons/medical care. Tiy, the Steampunk Mastermind, is the leader of the Liles.
Nimfs-
Current Allies- Summer
Major Enemies- Liles, Winter, Otelay
Nimfs are basically the Elvens of the land. Their base hangs high in the trees, vulnerable to any fire attacks. They have various types of arrows, the most popular being Kint. Kint Arrows are a type that is covered in a type of poison that normally makes the person hallucinate. This would drive them insane, and the stronger it is the longer the hallucinations stay. A large amount can make you permanently insane. There is a certain type of fire arrow, so hot that it can burn through a cyber-suite then pierce your skin. They mainly wear leather chaps, and would never be caught dead wearing a cybernetic-suite. Their leader is Aynor, a taller Elven who has been known as an great warrior.
Vunnate-
Current Allies- Otelay, Winter
Major Enemies- Spring, Summer
No real uniform, no real basic weapons. Just a wild mix of races, culture, and style to form one large settlement, all ruled by one man, named Vunna. Vunna was an infamous bandit that saw opportunity in the ruins of Spring's kingdom. No one knows of them except Otelay and Winter, both allies. If some other person were to stumble upon them, they would be killed in an Execution Festival.
Scrappies-
Current Allies- Vunnate
Major Enemies- None
Scrappies are a underground civilazation of psychopaths and druggies. Their un-named capitol is that of Vunnate's Capitol, Klen, of it's underground tunnels. Though Vunna's underground Cybernetic chamber intersects with the Scrappies' chambers, it is sealed off. They pledged that they would never attack/revoult against each other, though Vunna often uses the easy manipulated people as puppets. One of the only Sane citizens of The Scrappie civilazation is Salmon, the leader. He is rumored to be a X-Summer Captain, said to have abandoned his duty to hide out in the underground. There are many passage/tunnelways into the Underground, though they are normally hidden well. Even if you did find one, there are plenty of Dead Ends/Trap, many people never even make it to a Civilazation, most getting lost.
NOTICE: Based on current Alliances and Major Enemies, some may be easier and harder to get a alliance with.
Example:
Spring allying with Otelay would be near impossiable since Otelay and Winter are Major Allies, and they fought against each other in the previous war.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clans
The Yallen-
Current Allies-None
Major Enemies-Nearly All
The Yallen is band of Highway Bandits and muggers. They mainly dress in rugged scraps/have scarfs that completely cover their head. Since the only way the really get money is by stealing the mainly only have a Electric Dagger, luckier ones getting Cybernetics. At any time, they have 15 members or so.
The Denricks-
Current Allies-None
Major Enemies- Winter and Otelay
This band of northern bandits is the scourage of the snow. They are very large, with three groups always raiding and two in their secret hide out in the mountains.In total, they have over 50 members at any time, ussualy going into the 60's. Their base guards have cybernetic armour and all have cybernetic swords. Their leader is Darick the Grim, a formidable foe. If he is slain, gang will will need a new leader.
The Spiters-
Current Allies- None
Major Enemies- Summer
Smack in the center of Summer's lands, this prowling group prays on the odd traveler and takes on dimplomatic or supply groups once in a while. They have leather thick clothing , black bandanas and hoods, and move quickly.
The Rooks-
Current Allies- None
Major Enemies- Nearly All
The Rooks are all cybernetic suit wearing beasts. They have large axes and do many raids. They have 10 men plus their leader Ralen, a well educated tactitian from Autunm. They have never lost a raid since their begining. Killing their leader Ralen or just allying them would make them a very valuable asset.
The Leauge Of Highwaymen
Current Allies- None
Major Enemies- The Yallen
The LOH is a very seruouis guild of highwaymen and crooks. They are always pulling off raids on travelers and are quite rich. Each is armed with an extremly light cybertnetic suit, mainly to improve movement, and a Cybernetic One-Handed Sword, or two cybernetic knives. They are the closest of the clans to being a faction, and are much more serious than the other clans. They have about 70 members, and a secret tactical base near The Great Catacombs. They have recently taken an interst in The Yallen, and are on a path to destroy their hideout and capture their members.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waypoints
-Mercury's Skyscraper Cell-
Location- Southern Summer
Mercury has been locked away in an Sky-Scraper cell right after the war by Summer. Though Mercury helped Summer win the war, he still sentenced him as a criminal, following by a capture and life sentence. His faithful followers still have hope of breaking him out.
-Huit's Graveyard-
Location- Unknown
Huit is a legendary warrior in the previous war, fighting for himself and his own unknown faction. Legend says that after he died he got carried away to a far off a cave and buried in a graveyard with the rest of his fellow soldiers. It says that if you dig up his sword, his dead
soldiers will rise and do your bidding. ALMOST no one knows where this is.
-Akut-
Location- Northern Spring
Akut is a medium sized towns with small mix of people, it mainly consisting of Poets and Spring Citizens since it is relativly close to the Poet's territorial border. It is (lightly) famous for it's "Old Stone" buildings, none being destroyed during the War since it is so deep into Spring's kingdom. Recently, Spring Citizens have been seeking a new oppurtunity, many moving into Akut expanding the City's development speed greatly.
-Ushol-
Location- Far Northern Winter
Ushol is a moutain range, beholding some of the largest (moutains) of the land. It is aswell the coldest area in the Kingdom, dropping to negative 60's in the Winter and during the Summer an average of Negative 20's. Hidden away in large caverns/flatter areas of Ushol is Otelay and his Barbarians. Since the war, they have been recruiting and training. It is rumored that Otelay travels from Outpost to Outpost, checking in on his troops and commanders.
-Hyple-
Location- Central Summer
Hyple is a highly populated city, with very advanced technology and some of the popular Inns and Pubs. You better have on your finest clothes, for this is probably the most wealthy city of the entire land. However, there are rumors of small bands of bandits that own some of the Inns and Pubs. Make to bring a weapon (small and concealed, of course) for there are sometimes muggers lurking around in the alleyways at night.
-Naent-
Location- Western Winter
Naent is a smaller city, filled with thieves and beggars. It is also where a high population of The Followers of Mercury are, taking part in various secret rooms and sewers of the City. Naent lacks the amount of Law Enforcement then it should, so it has a high crime rate. You are going to have to keep your eyes open in this City, keep your money concealed, and do not cause a scene.. well if your not a Follower of Mercury, of course.
-Beach of the Fallen-
Location- Southern Spring

It is rumored that ghosts of Autumn soldiers floated to the waters all he way to the Shorelines. Due to the cruel clearings of the corpses of Autumn soldiers, dumped into rivers/burned. If these ghosts were to really exist, legend has it you can actually befriend them where they will help you throughout the rest of your life.

-The Seasonal Valley-
Location- South Western Winter
This Valley contains many valuable minerals, but also a good tactical position due to its centralized position. The seasons varry, so the Valley is always perfect for one specific nation. Changes are rapid and violent. When the valley switches to Autumn, it will most likely become a massive war ground.
-The Dry Border-
Location- Between Spring and Summer's Lands
The main warzone between the two Kingdoms. It contains many strong and sturdy watch towers and light forts. Recources have all been collected, but the ground is flat and good for fighting. Control of this area gives a positional advantage to its owner. Despite the oppurtunity for all out combat, the area is very peaceful. It is mainly minor assualts, assinations, briberys, and rouges that cuase the changing of hands.
-The Spring Stockpile-
Location- Central Spring
This area has all the main recources of the Spring army. Here, armour is remade and reused for future soldiers. It also carries rations and crystals. It is heavily guarded by a crew of elite warriors known as The Jumpers. They are quick moving and very smart. Taking them down would not only give the victor much supplies, but also much honor. They dress in some type of Crystal Suit, specially made for them by the Elementalists.
-The White Castle-
Location- Central Winter
The great White Castle is a valuable asset to the Winter forces. Here, Neptune guards and watches over the Knights and Workers. Defences are costantly prepared and improved. This area also is a strategic fall back point, and the controler of it can attack well into Winter, or Winter can attack well into its enemies. It also carries many suit smiths and weapon smiths, so armour and weapons are not an issue.
-Slander-
Location- Eastern Territory of the Elementalists
Slander is a medium sized town, it's population mainly that of Sorcerors. It is right by one of the Kingdom's wonders, a giant spiked rock formation. It is also said that some of the finest seen potion-masters have hung around here.

The stones have stood for over three thousaund years. Its unknown who made them or what their purpose is, but on them are inscirbed ancient runes. In the center of the stones is a massive stone altar, with more runes. It is said that offerings to the ancient stones will give one wisdom or power. Taking it might win over support of the nearby Nimfs, due to their respect to the stones.
-Tren-
Location- Outskirts of Liles' Territory
Tren is a large city, one of the few made entirely out of Metals. It is average in wealth, mines also surrounding the city. Every once in awhile a citizen of Liles will come to visit the city, sometimes boasting about their newest inventions.
-Klen-
Location- Central Vunnate
Klen is a HUGE city, it being the capitol of Vunnate. Different architectural style, different races, and different culture. In the center is a strange building, the "palace" of Klen, more of a dome bottom but a narrow skyscraper that stretches up to he sky. Inside the building is mainly Cybernetically controlled. At the very top is Vunna's throne room. The entire building is locked tight with security, so it would be near impossiable to actual do any damage from the inside if you were going to try to do so.
-Black Knight Inn-
Location- Western Summer
This Inn is more than it appears. On the outside, it has a shape similar to a horse. The back is low, while the front raises up. In the head is the room of Valus, the inn keeper. Now, inside the Inn, the livelyness is enough to shock any man. It is filled with people, drinking, fist fighting, mery making, and other joyus things. No one really knows why the inn was built, but one thing is certain. The ale is good. The Inn makes a ridicoulous amount of money from is prized ale recipe and has immense income. It also has an immense guard force, leg by Valus's two sons, Blen and Harlick. They have sword to protect they recipe of their fathers with their lives, and if they were to be killed, Valus's wrath would strike you down.
Notice- These are just some of the more important areas of The Kingdoms, there are still
other towns/cities/places, in general other then these ones.
Note: These are not the only citys/towns/areas of the Kingdoms, there are more. These are just some of the more important places.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key Figures
-Thaw-
Faction/Kingdom- Autumn
Last Seen- Akut
Thaw was a highly respected Autumn commander, but once Autumn had been fully conquered he gathered up his remaining troops and fleed. While nearing Spring's border, he had found a small little hut. Out of curiousity, he opened and inside was a flight of stairs that went downwards. He walked down them, then realizing it was one of The Silent's safehouses. He gathered plenty of information, and at that time no Silent were taking refuge there. He had heard rumors about The Silent before, but he had never completely belived it. With his information he uncovered a few Silent members and many more Safehouse locations. Throughout that time, he has been keeping his identy well-hidden, knowing The Silent are after him.
-Zuona-
Faction/Kingdom- The Poets
Last Seen- Generally in Poets' Territory
Zuona is the best sharpshooter around.. though there is not that many, since only Nimfs and Poets actually have Ranged weapons. She is also a very skilled commander, famous for leading the defence against the borderlines of The Poets when Winter was attacking. Sixty-Eight Poets died, Three-Hundred and Twenty-Eight of Winter's troops were killed. After that battle, she was immediatly promoted to Devin's Council.
-Neptune-
Faction/Kingdom- Winter
Last Seen- White Castle
Neptune is a very noble fighter and rival of Mercury. He secretly had him imprisoned in the Sky Scraper cell, apposed to him being immediatly executed. He has won many battles, and slain many of his enemies, like the great Autumn commander Jupiter, an extremly large and fierce warrior. Winter has recently named him as his Grand General and if he has no sons or they die before age, his succesor for the crown. Neptune wears a fierce blue cybernetic suit and weilds a massive two handed longsword, double edged. His armour is enhanced with top notch quality tech. He has never lost a battle to Summer, or Spring. Mercury was one of the first to defeat him, and then Jupiter, just before he was slain like a dog in battle.
-Idus-
Faction/Kingdom- None
Last Seen- Fuit
Idus is a master in the art of Armour-Crafting, he making some of the finest protection in the land. No one else knows how to replicate his style, but many still try to anyways. He sells for an outrageously high price, though it's worth the bargain. He also has hired several body gaurds recently shortly after an attack against him. They are of the Elite.
Jionha
Faction/Kingdom- Vunnate
Last Seen- Klen
Jionha is a famous philsopher and rebel. She had helped Vunna throughout the making of Klen and management of Vunnate Citizens. Jionha had also traveled nearly to every kingdom, telling the poor of Vunnate all the promises it beholds. Summer partically dislikes her, saying that she spreaded rumors that his laws were unfair, causing a mass amount of citizens from Summer to move to Vunnate territory.
-He Who Walks Alone-
Faction/Kingdom- None
Last Seen- An Inn At White Castle
This man is one of the most mysterious in the whole land. He is from Winter, yet has no allegiances. No one knows his name or his goal. Some say he is ultamitly powerful and from another dimesion, search for something. Others say he is a spy, but from what nation depends on the sayer. One thing is known. He carriers a Cybernetic sword that if you touch it, you'll freeze solid.
-Shalt-
Faction/Kingdom- Nimfs
Last Seen- Hyple
Shalt is an insanely popular celebrity, many sellers drooling at his feet and begging him to advertise their product. He often travels around the Areas/Kingdoms he's welcomed in, throwing magnifecient parties and speeching about his achivements. If he's at a party, he will immediatly be the center of attention. He is a native to the Nimfs, giving him an Elveish look. This may not seem like a character that would be important to have, but many followers listen to their idol's word, if you get what I'm saying.
-Latone-
Faction/Kingdom- Liles
Last Seen- Has been in Solitude for awhile, rumored to be hiding out in Liles' main fortress
Latone is one of the most magnificent inventors around. He has exceeded in many different fields technology, from Weapons to Agriculture. Since he has had an reputation as an excellent "maker", he has made marvelous friends with Tiy, the leader of the Liles, over the years.
-Monna-
Faction/Kingdom- None
Last Seen- Naent
Monna was a X-Winter soldier, they not appreciating her excellence with tactics. She has some of the best war plans imaginable, but they only work if EVERYONE does their assigned jobs. After she had quit, Winter was in an outrage. She is uncertain of what path to take as far as Factions and Kingdoms.

You're Still Here by Poets of the Fall
Mercury dances in it's skyscraper cell,
Rising and falling in rhapsody,
And I see Winter's broken like lace,
In time for a celebration
Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners,
Delighting in it's evident victory
Till I feel Springtime counting its days
Of flaunting a novel sensation
Like it's leaving,
Leaving behind the weight
Vying
For yesteryear
Leaving
Promises in its wake,
Whispering
My Love
You're Still Here
You're Still Here
Hold onto your memories of sundogs and rainbows,
As time writes a premature eulogy
And I feel Summertime passing in haste,
Like running out of patience
Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarves
And a mild understanding of irony
I feel Autumn leaving the race,
All done with the exhilaration
Like it's leaving,
Leaving behind the weight
Vying for yesteryear
Leaving promises in its wake,
Whispering
My Love
You're Still Here
You're Still Here
Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell,
Rising and falling in harmony
And I feel Winter stealing my days,
To herald another creation
[Surprisingly, I based this entire RP after this short song.]

My CS
"Hey! You! Yeah you, I haven't seen you around these parts. What's your name?":
Jike Urna
"Oh... Interesting. What is your @g3?":
24
"Please, step into the light so I can see you." [Description of how you look]:
Male, Shaggy Jet black hair. Average Mercury Robe, Laced with red. "Stubbles" underneath my mouth, hazel eyes. Thiner body type.
"You obviously are apart of something. Who are you with?":
Follower of Mercury
"Hmm.. You must know your way way with some type of weapon. What is it?":
Double ended dagger, one side a crude jagged blade the other straight and sharp. The middle-handle has an sun engraved in it. The jagged side is often slighty rusty/dirty, the straight side being always clean.
"Please, tell me how you are like." [Personality]:
Normally shows no emotion, due to my hard training of being one of Mercury's thieves. I do rarely open up and talk, but I would have to know you for quite awhile, then trusting you. This happens rarely.
"Oh, what are your skills?" [Two At Most, Nothing extreme.]:
Faster then most due to his light clothing and build type so it would be easy to get away if something were to go wrong. Secound is I can sometimes talk my way out of things, but this will only succeed every once in awhile.
"Everyone has some flaws. What are yours?":
Sometimes I get confused and miscaulculate directions/maps, resulting in going to the wrong destination. This would prove bad if I were to be leading a small group and accidently marched right into enemy territory.
"Please, tell me about yourself." [Bio.]
I was born in Spring's kingdom, in poor conditions since that I was born a little bit after the war and my Father's farm had been burned and riches stolen so he had to start from scratch. When I was 8, sometimes I had to steal various food for my family since that we barley had enough money to maintain ourselfs. I also practiced Lockpicking, knowing that this would help me out alot more when stealing. That and my father had a drinking habit... I would have ran away, but I was too young at the time. I waited, at the same time still stealing to keep myself alive. Finally, when I became 17 I made a break for it. I ran off to a village, still in Spring's kingdom, and found myself in the local inn. Some fellows in Black Cloaks invited me over, and I accepted. They asked me why I was here, and I explained that I had ran away. They wanted me to do an task, I was partly scared that they would kill me if I didn't do as I wished so I accepted. In the local market there was an golden necklace and one claimed that it had been stolen from them. I didn't exactly belive it, but I did the job anyways. I took the necklace from the locked compartment, obviously lockpicking it, and gave the men in cloaks the necklace. They said that they were of The Followers of Mercury and asked if I would want to stay with them for awhile. I accepeted, following them while learning new technices. Present day, I'm an full member and currently by myself.
