SUMMER

Angkar: Wet season. Precipitation is common during the late afternoon and evening hours. Vegetation grows significantly during the summer, but flooding is a danger due to the monsoons that ravage the country. The rainforest sees evenly distributed rainfall throughout the season.

Ashoka: Desert: Extremely hot and dry. Violent, heavy downpours following long dryspells. Jungle: Hot and humid with frequent, violent rainstorms.

Morrim: Relatively hot and dry, but with a chance of thunderstorms from time to time. The heat may cause forest fires.

Soto: Hot and humid, tree cover is dense while ground growth is restricted. Thunderstorms see the most amount of rainfall during the season, and it can be very windy. On occasion, there are flash floods that can destroy homes and farms built on flood plains.

WHAT IS ELENLOND?

Elenlond is an original free-form medieval fantasy RPG set on the continent of Soare and the Scattered Isles, which are located to the south in the Sea of Diverging Waters. The four chief nations of the western side of the world—Ashoka in northern Soare, Soto in western Soare, Morrim in eastern Soare, and Angkar, the largest of the Scattered Isles—continue to experience growth and prosperity since the fall of the Mianorite gods, although power struggles within the countries—or outside of them—continue to ensue.

  • CURRENT EVENTS

    Angkar: To honour the reinvigoration of the ancient city of Mondrágon, the majestic Queen Eulalia has permitted the opening of a Coliseum where people from around the world and all walks of life can test their combat skills against one another. Many have already done battle in search of honour, glory, prizes and money.

    Ashoka: In an otherwise peaceful times, Ashokans are beset with the relatively minor inconveniences of wandering undead and occasionally-aggressive giant rock worms. There has also been some controversy over the recent re-legalisation of human sacrifice.

    Morrim: Rumour has it that Emperor Leofric de Hollemark is mustering forces for a war. Though the threat from Soto’s forests has passed, the forces previously employed in watching the forest now linger at the border. Rumours also circulate of a small group that has been dispatched to make contact with the tribes of the Do’suul Mountains.

    Soto: The Sotoans have defeated the fey and liberated themselves from Méadaigh’s oppression! Preliminary efforts have been made at rebuilding the city of Madrid, which had been captured at the beginning of the war. However, the Sotoans are hindered from recovery famine. Méadaigh’s magic caused summer to persist in the Erth’netora Forest through the winter. Her power has been withdrawn and the plants die as if preparing for winter – even though it is now summer. The Sotoans must sustain off what food they can get, what creatures they can kill and what can be imported into the city from Morrim and Angkar.

    After some thought, I've decided to throw my character Emilia in. She has a Griffin though, so I'm not sure if she'd be stuck there.
    Yes, but not without some issues. I'm thinking that anybody who can fly out using an animal (for example, Shadow has a pegasus, so if I threw her into this, which I don't plan on doing, and if she were to fly out on said pegasus, they'd try to kill her) will probably be targeted. I'm also thinking, though, that this might become a dice roller sort of deal, where odd numbers will let you leave, and even numbers will basically be a failed attempt. Could result in a thread if someone really wanted one. But yes. I think that's how this will probably go. For those signing up who can come and go at will due to magic and whatnot, they won't need the dice roll.

    I'd be up for having Augen stuck in there. I mean, considering that he's there and it's his homeland after all, as well as the way he makes his living, it makes sense for him to be signed up.

    Oh wow, I login one magical day and this is what I find? Alyssa would love to aid the people suffering from diseases through natural herbal remedies. Maybe a few nymph appearances as well?

    It would be pretty awesome if just as Aaron is trying to leave, he gets stuck in Morrim. Sign him up too.

    Meta


    I hope I'm not too late for this!

    But Meta is fairly interested in why nature is decaying considering that she is part of it. Plus the fact that Soto is affected. I'll definitely want her to go investigate.

    She's able to temporarily change into the wind (only for 10 mins) should she might be able to enter or leave. Even if she cant, she can pass messages through the wind over a short distance so she should be a useful messenger for cross border issues.

    Sign me up if it's not too late! Thanks!

    Nope, not too late at all. I will be finalizing the permission masks probably this weekend, or early this weekend though, so if you haven't already, check the list in the first post and confirm where your character belongs (can't leave/can leave/may be able to leave) based on what they can do in terms of movement (teleportation, flying, shapeshifting, etc.).

    If sign ups are still going on then would you kindly add Hayden to the list.

    Bloody battles, rising civil war, diseases spreading, sounds like the perfect place for a merchant of death. Although the financial problems would cause him some troubles I doubt that he could have pulled his cart out by the time the boarders closed. Thankee-sai kindly.

    When the civil war comes, at that point, Andi will likely begin thinking of way he can right his wrongs, in which case, he'll go to Morrim to be the Ace in the Hole of the people who want democracy. If it were a democracy, it wouldn't be so easy to take it over, so I figure that's the side he'd help, to ensure nobody like him can cause such a mess again.

    There will be more intricacies involving this, but I'll spare you for now and talk to you later if you wanna know everything I've got.

    So, just to let everyone know, the permission masks have been set up and are now active. For those of you who may or may not be able to leave, you are currently stuck in Morrim; if you want your character to try to leave, please PM me so that we can work out how that's going to go down. Other than that, please check out these two threads =):

    Morrim: Timeline of Events


    For new members or members who change their mind, you can post here to have your character moved into the Morrim group. I will, however, only be accepting these changes until April 24, 2010. New members will be able to opt in at any time, due to being new.

    Well, toss Alicia in. I'll say she asked around, and ends up deducing that the source of all the problems that are happening is probably in Morrim, thanks to Andro, so she ends up going in. Though, she is capable of flight, rather fast flight, so might it be possible for her to enter and exit?

    Replying way late because I'm cool like that.

    Sphynx can do whatever she wants, go wherever she wants. She can shapeshift and teleport, so I think she's good to go.

    Patrick's last known location was Madrid in Soto, and he'll be staying there for awhile, so I don't really see him trying to get into Morrim at all.

    Nico is another story. She's native to Morrim, even though my last thread with her was in Ashoka with Cain forever ago. There was the start of a thread in Morrim with Shadow, but ended up getting cancelled as the plot changed. So she probably headed home and would now be stuck in Morrim, hanging out with the rest of the nobles and figuring out what is going on with her home country.

    o.o Which would mean Cain's probably in Morrim too. Since Nico wouldn't be irresponsible enough to let a hellhound loose on the continent, right? XP

    No, no, no. She wouldn't. She probably returned home with her faithful companion at her side, getting lots of strange looks I might add. But I imagine that Cain could probably leave if he wanted to...and if Nico sent him on some errand. Does he even do errands?

    I would love to be part of this, and it might even fit in well with Sadia's history. Since she was essentially sealed off in an unnamed crate and shipped off with conflicting tags (her master's family just wanted to be rid of her) it seems perfectly plausible she could have ended up in some musty basement, some storage room in a shop, on the back of a wagon being sent off by a confused patron who has no idea where it came from, dumped in a junk heap, or maybe in some warehouse. The best scenarios I could think of to actually introduce her (Since she is in stasis at introduction, and would need someone to 'wake' her) would be either in some sort of storage or junk pile (scavenger and thief characters would be likely to have a reason to come into contact), or on a wagon being shipped somewhere (anyone would have access to it, especially if said crate slipped out of the wagon.) Or maybe someone else could help me come up with an idea to help introduce her into the RP.

    XP Cain introduces Nico to the definition of "fetch" and flatly says no.

    Actually, that could probably be a command for his collar... *ponders*

    Ooh, I would love one of my characters to have something to do with that! Sounds really... fierce >O I'd be willing to toss more characters into Morrim for that xD It'd probably be fun for Ludo to come across her... I forgot I wanted to put him in Morrim ^^;

    Haha, the cut-off date for entry into Morrim was Saturday past, Pai. So if you're wanting to introduce more characters into Morrim, it'll have to be a ways down the road.

    Would like to sign Sol up to be in Morrim if that's okay still? There really isn't anyone outside of Morrim to have a thread with at the moment. Although I'm aware I missed the cut off date. So just let me know.

    Nope. The cut-off was only for the old characters; any new characters that are made are eligible to join so long as they haven't run off and made a bunch of posts outside of Morrim.

    Fantastic! No I only made one, but through that realized that pretty much everyone is in morrim, and most that would like to have a thread with him are. So i figured I'd scrap that thread for now at least and put him in Morrim if it was still open. =]

    I think Tsuhezo can come and go as he pleases since he's a kitsune and can shapeshift/use illusions. If not, put him down for being locked in Morrim.
