What happens when memory fades? When it metastasizes becomes unrecognizable, when fact becomes story, becomes myth and legend. When a world no longer fears destruction, when the lives of babe and man are peace filled. When the heroes of legend become keepers of crumbling defenses. When scholars become religious fanatics. When the bonds, magic and technology become no more than mere playthings than the great weapons they once were.
Urid is one of six planets in the Gliese System orbiting a warm red dwarf star. Colonized by humanity nearly eighty millennia ago. So long in fact the people of Urid no longer recall their origins and barely a remnant of their forebears exists. It is a planet with five beautiful moons tidally locked that swing around it in groups of two and three.
First the three brothers Coryr, Citild, Coruin grace the day sky like pink pebbles chasing one another just over the horizon. While the sisters Hibisciun and Hyophies dominate the night as they illuminate Urid with their soft auburn glow. Their celestial dance is one of many wonders of Urid, but every six hundred Uridian years the siblings align in what the Uridian call the Hunger. A dangerous time of upheaval, death and destruction.
As the celestial bodies of the planet align the world slows Urid awakens. From the sea to the sky there comes a life so hostile, so hungry humanity must remember its stories and defend life from the parasitic hunger.
Patium Tavern sat sturdy between two ancient boulders fallen from the mountain that loomed great and storm covered above. It took the average band of travellers three days to traverse the trail up the lower mountain to the tavern built of ancient pine. It stood as the final civilized refuge before the Lalia Pass the only gateway through the Lalia Ranges. A long string of jagged giants that split the entire country in two from coast to coast. The tavern had been erected nearly a century ago its upkeep managed by the Fer Etem the people of high mountains.
Inside the giant tavern, that looked more like a grand longhouse than the traditional stouter buildings of the homeland, was warm with hearth fire. An eternal stew thickened the air with the scents of homely comfort. Each chair was lined with furs and the tables draped with thick copper coloured and finely embroidered table skirts. Under which coals from the hearth simmered in covered iron toffs that warmed frozen travellers as they ate.
Players will be starting together inside Patium Tavern and will form a classic travel group. Each characters personal motivations and stories will arrise as we go progress.
The In Character part of the roleplay is hosted on Discord. Our server is small and IC specific with a handful of OOC channels. All information regarding core story and core world building will be posted on this site for reference. Extra details will be hosted on Discord in our +Notes & Development channel.
This is a small group, world building, Discord based roleplay. Invite to the server will be privately handed out via private message (the server has no bots and is a simple affair).
Character profile details are up to the user. Basics are required such as name, age, gender, sexuality, rank/status/role, appearance and a lite background consisting mostly of some form of basic character motivation for now.
Characters can be from anywhere in the world. They will be human or humanoid descended from human but warped or changed by the magic of Urid.
The roleplay has a soft magic system where all magic derives from the planet of Urid. Magic is unique based on how the various cultural groups harness the magic.
The world has any number of unique creatures and plant life.
The primary antagonist for the story is a character vs environment with the thread of the impending Hunger that is currently a LONG way off but creeping forward. With it's coming noted by the aligning of the moons. While various character vs character antagonist can and should also exist.
