Introduction
Info, need to know about Gavilla
Technology
Video phones are located in most homes and there are also public access terminals that include both a video phone and a data cube. They both are powered by arcane magic
Data cube- is similar to a computer but it is voice activated and the display is holographic and three dimensional.
There are ground and sky rail runners that are monorails that run between many of the major cities. There is electricity but much of that is run through solar panels, wind and water energy, and geothermal energy. They do not have space travel though and although robotics are developed they are seldom used since magic can do many mundane tasks more efficiently.
Airplanes, guns, cars, and other typical modern amenities are nowhere to be seen, although gun powder is being hoarded by who we would call the Chinese and Greek Fire is still in use by, of course, the Greeks.
History: This history of Gavilla is not completely understood by the masses that inhabit her. The name Lucivon is only a mere whisper of a rumor. The common folk only know the simple story or the great legends, many about a Dark Lady and how she ruled the world with the Dark Prince Lucivon. The divine Ancients put together their might and sealed the Dark Lady away, however Lucivon ran and escaped. Details of the sealing were kept secret in fear of Lucivon learning and releasing his love. Today, Lucivon is trying to amass knowledge in order to free her and rule the world once more. Many common folk hear whispers of his terrible doings, yet most dismiss it as rumors.
The politics of Gavilla are mostly feudal in nature. Monarchies and Totalitarianism are not uncommon in the lands, as are not Warlords in barbarian lands. Crix however, is different. While it is a Monarchy with the Queen in power, she was elected to the position by her people. The people vote on many issues with her as the deciding vote.
On Lagross (Our North America, where Crix can be found) Religion consists of the worship of the Creator and All-God Omniri. Though, many religions exist and many worship a number of different Gods and each region has it's own pantheon. Once, people even worshiped the Dark Lady, and some still do to this day, though in secret, working towards the goal of unsealing her, and returning her to power.
There have been many prophets, both real and false, who have made many different prophecies over the years. Many of these prophecies have come true but many more collect dust on the shelves of the libraries. Many of the prophecies were written in ancient languages, languages full of magic and mystic, and languages not many still know today. Many, even scholars and intellectuals, have trouble interpreting the difficult languages and as a result, some may have been interpreted in correctly. The Prophets foretold each prophecy in a different way, making connecting them together difficult, yet the people still lend them their ear. There are many, but many look for only one, one called the Darkstar, not really knowing what it is and how it can help them.
~the Darkstar prophecy~
The full moon's glory not long past and the fury of the storm bring a new star from the heavens. The darkstar will shine in the dark and be recognized in spring's dawn light.
The darkstar will shine and purge the land, bringing deliverance from evil
Deliverance will come from nowhere known but wear a familiar face.
Three signs of hope we see to bring us the star to bring light and banish the dark. A solar eclipse in the serpent year. A full moon and a storm following the equinox of spring.

Recently many fell beasts such as ogres, trolls, Drow, gnolls, and other villainous creatures have intensified their attacks on people and have even banded together to sack some of the larger towns. People are becoming more and more afraid to travel and many are moving to the cities for protection. Queen Imani of Crix has started recruiting as many people as she can to try to stop these attacks.
There are many Kingdoms scattered over north and South America. Crix is roughly centered and is kind of the governing force for much of Lagross (North America). Though there are some rival kingdoms or kingdoms that are neutral. There are also the wandering gypsies, the Amazons, and druids.
The magic races try to stay away from civilization. For example Dragons live in mountains and caves. Shape-shifters (cats, wolves, other) Prefer deep woods or swamps. Dwarfs also like mountainous caves but do have villages run by a council that are located on many continents.
Some Halflings are hermits but do often live in the main cities. Light elves are everywhere. Some are druidic and live in forests. Some live in huge fantastical cities. One such city is the City of Gershawn; it is one of the few Elvin cities that welcomes scholars from all over to study in their well known universities and libraries. Dark elves tend to live secretively and their cities are not easy to find.
Winged Folk and Spider Folk can also be spotted, though they tend to shy away from those different then themselves. The Winged-Folk are an arrogant species and try to push their beliefs on people, yet still they are a decent folk and neutral.
There are also fox people, Catia, The Eldar (an ancient race almost immortal), and many others
+So basically think of my world as a magical Earth but each country has a magic academy and is at a roughly medieval/ classical point in its development though I am sure you noticed some of the additions. It is the age of empires, each empire at its height. As long as a character fits this general concept I’ll accept new races as well, so use your imagination. Something to remember- this adventure will start like a real rp with everyone essentially at level one. Once the story starts characters will level up and gain the trust of the npcs and such and get better jobs. If someone joins up late they will have to start from scratch and earn a place in the story.

Don stared at the door infront of him waiting for his masters next command. Don stood well over 8 feet in hieght and held a massive 2 handed axe in his hands. "Master" he whimpered trying to hear the soothing voice that told him what to do. He lived for one thing and that was to do his master bidding. Suddenly a man holding a sabre entered the room. Don smiled he clapped and ligths flickered to life all along the walls lighting the room. "Foe must die right master?" he cried hefting his axe. He heard a soothing voice in his head "Yes My pretty Foe must die." "Master Speak to Don" Don cried as he ran towards the man hefting his axe.
Flaz sat in his chair crying he didn't want to hurt anyone but it was rare for him to have control over his body usally his brother did. "Stop crying Flaz I am doing this for you" his brother said using his lips. "No your doing this for your self not for me please kill no more." Flaz cried. He whimpered as his brother fought for control. Suddenly a Dragon and a silly man dressed as a pirate quietly entered his room. "Please I beg you run before Gunther gains control." Flaz cried before letting out a howl. his body transfored from a thin wiry man with kind blue eyes and sandy blonde hair to a thick muscled man with blood red eyes and hair. "I am Gunther" The man cired as flames ignited on his hands.
Guldan stood among his men he a smile appeared on his handsome face and ran his hand through his pale blonde.

He laughed as the man didn't answer Guldan had cut out his tounge when he had 'joined' the company he hated when someone talked back. Guldan paused he heard someone outside. He waved his hand and his three men moved back against the wall. Guldan drew he two handed sword and waited as a man with a two handed sword drawn and ready walked in. "Hi" he said smiling a loopy grin as he charged the man.

Re: [OOC] The Darkstar Chronicles
[edit] friggn' A... finally got a moment to myself and its 2:00 in the morning. I'll try to get a post in tomorrow... but to be honest I think I'm starting to lose interest. This Rp has slowed down a lot recently and after Tail and Nana left I just haven't had much to do with Isilis.
I might 'retire' the pirate for a short while and just have Taro be the guy to pop in and out as a sort of 'occasional ally but with ulterior motives' till I can work interest back up again.

"Hello Gunther." Pulls out his pistol. "Goodbye Gunther." Fires.
Then again Isilis wouldn't have had anytime to load another shot, so I'll have to do something else.
