This is my first role-play on here, so please excuse some shabby coding.


█ ↣ I'm not going to waste several rules to say to follow general role-play etiquette. No God-Moding, PowerPlaying, invincible characters, etc etc.
█ ↣ I'm looking for someone who can give at least a paragraph per post, but preferably more.
█ ↣ Your character needs to be at least eighteen years old. Your character can be any gender or orientation.
█ ↣ Want to double? Let me know! I'm more than up for it.
█ ↣ Use whatever images you want, whether it be anime or real life or artwork.


█ ↣ War is a common story in every kingdom's history, but rarely is there a war as destructive and long lasting as the one these kingdoms were experiencing. Evenly matched in everything, it became an endless cycle of wins and losses, of ground gained and lost, and men and women perishing in the fight. The only kingdom that had made the mistake of forfeiting had immediately been crushed by the others, just a fragment of history and more land for the others to fight for.

█ ↣ Finally an old witch, who lived somewhere in the warzone, decided it was enough. She visited each kingdom in turn, giving them a warning to cease or else she would curse their lands and people. None listened, and all continued fighting. And so she laid her curse. All the kingdoms were destined to ruin lest they marry four high nobles to the nobles of the other kingdoms and cease their war. At first everyone scoffed at the curse, thinking the old witch mad, but when crops failed and rain stopped falling, some serious concerns were raised.

█ ↣ And so the four kingdoms finally put down their weapons and began arranging the marriages that had to take place. Soon the effects of the curse lessened, but are not fully gone. Arguments and threats were common in these negotiations, but finally a cycle was decided. An effort between the kingdoms was made to build a castle there all their borders meet, to house these nobles and hopefully foster friendships, but many believe this will just be the new ground for the restart of the war... and their doom.


█ ↣ ( Driwien - Kingdom of Merfolk )
Driwien is a combination of land on the continent, a large island chain, and ocean. Due to the merfolk's aquatic nature most prefer the last as their home, however many venture onto land to trade and whatnot. They're a people of flair and fashion, highly valuing material possession and signs of wealth. As such, their architecture tends to be very varied, as every few years a new trend or two begins, which results in a constant change. While their society is more or less a matriarchy, women are much more sheltered and not allowed as many freedom as men due to the species' genetics, in which male children are much more common.

Merfolk are an aquatic species of humanoid. In water they have a tail and fins, while on land they transform into legs, however they are very obviously mer still as they retain many of their features. Extended time on land can cause serious dehydration, and so many mer don't leave the water for extended periods of time. Many have some minor control over water.

█ ↣ ( Priewyth - Kingdom of Demons )
Priewyth is a mostly mountainous region. Mountains and forest. And volcanoes. Despite the latter, the forests are still strong, and the ancient woods will probably never be completely destroyed. The demonic people tend to reside in the mountains themselves, carving cities out of the rock itself, making what would seem inhabitable actually habitable. While a resourceful people, they are also easily jealous and often selfish, causing most of their achievements to be born out of spite and other such emotions, and forgotten soon afterwards. Like merfolk, genetics favors male offspring.

Demons are a dark, cursed folk. It is said they were once elves, but their greed corrupted them into something else. They tend to be physically strong, but often rash and arrogant. They often have some minor control in fire.

█ ↣ ( Errakon - Kingdom of Fae )
Primarily formed of a desert, Errakon is perhaps the strangest of the kingdoms. The fae, pushed out of their land many ages ago by demonkind (and when the fae were a much younger species), they took the desert and made it their home. They have perfected making houses that won't be destroyed by the common and fierce sandstorms, and they are masters at glassblowing. They, however, are driven by their want for revenge upon the demons and their own need to make mischief.

Fae are human in size and often have some sort of wings. Many have slight control over how they appear to look, and air magic is common.

█ ↣ ( Thaelia - Kingdom of Shapeshifters )
Thaelia is the most geographically diverse of the kingdoms, having most biomes present in small amounts throughout the kingdom, and is also the longest, stretching along the coastline of the continent from north to south. However, it is necessity that drove them to this, as this is the homeland of Shapeshifters, and thus the land needs to be able to support all types of creatures. Despite the vast range, the architecture style is a uniform block-y, as they put little value in material beauty, and instead in practicality. They are the least likely to adorn themselves with fine jewels and other luxuries as they serve no purpose. Thaelians are the only kingdom to value men and women as warriors, something the other kingdoms all view as odd, alien, and dangerous.

Shapeshifters can change into an animal. Most can only change into one other, however sometimes they're born with two or three forms. This is rare, however, and even then most shapeshifters don't learn of their own talent. Generally a child will take the animal form of one of their parents, and will very rarely take the form of a grandparent.

█ ↣ ( The Peace Castle )
The castle built on the border of all the kingdoms, and where the engaged nobles will be arriving. It was a collaboration project by all four kingdoms, and thus shows some signs of each's architecture preference. All the "common areas" such as the ballroom, library, game room, etc are an even mixture of all the styles, as a symbol of equality. All the housing wings are done in specific architectural designs of the kingdom they house, to make those living there feel more at home.
