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.

    Physical Appearance
    Fragile like frozen glass.

    That's how most people tend to describe Icy. Delicate like a flower that looks as breakable as a porceline doll. One look at her, and you would think she would shatter should the wind blow too hard. Fragile, brittle... all terms associated with the young girl. It's hard to look at her and think that she's lived on her own for some time, fending for herself. She looks like she would much rather belong in a noble child's bedroom on display. From the top of her crown flows long, shimmering locks of silvery-white hair, tossed about with platinum highlights, and soft grey lowlights. Often seen loose and carefree, it can sometimes be curled or straight, depending on the time of year and the humidity. Silky to the touch, her thick hair frames her face and shoulders gracefully, cropped short bangs danging around her head bringing emphasis to her eyes. And what a pair of eyes does the girl have.

    Sometimes referred to as excessively large, Icy has a pair of big, bright greyish-blue eyes that are always wide with awe, wonder, and curiosity with a soft light blueish glow to them. At times they make her appear as if she is about to cry because of their size, and as a child, the servants of the her parents always referred to her as "puppy eyes", saying she always managed to get what she wanted with a sweet smile and her large beautiful eyes that would just melt your heart. Granted, the matrons were slightly biased, as they were like the girl's mothers, but regardless of the fact... Aycievana has large eyes! Framed with thick lashes and lightly grey shaded brows, Icy's eyes always had a full, healthy look to them, despite her small size, and contributed to her "doll-like" appearance. That, along with her small, round button nose, lightly touched pink cheeks, and her heart shaped rosy lips, the young pale child looked like a collectible doll a noble woman would keep for her daughter to play with.

    Sadly, Icy is still growing. Being only 51, she knows most dragons, don't mature until they hit the ripe age of around 60, and considering she's 9 years younger than maturity, but is already displaying signs of adulthood. Unfortunately, even if she is still growing, her body is only slowly developing. Standing at 5'3" and weighing only 125 pounds, she doesn't quite have the curves of a fully grown woman, her bosom smaller, yet still considerably defined despite her smaller stature. Her waist is thin, along with her arms to hint at her lack of much physical work. Her hips, while slender, still hold definition from her waist and thighs. But, even still, not much of her physique is very visible from the clothing she wears.

    Icy's most common clothing or attire is light robes, most commonly of blue or white nature seeing as those are her favorite colors, and pending the colder months, a white cloak with boots and gloves. Granted, she mostly travels, not her clothes aren't quite the cleanest, the bottoms of the robes typically with frayed edges and covered with dirt or dust, but the torso and upper leg areas of the robes still manage to stay clean, despite such. When performing her tricks, she'll often roll up the sleeves of her robes for cute effect, and is known to play up her cute, adorable antics during her shows.

    All in all, when you take the young girl in for all she looks, you are left with a bright, happy, cheerful thin girl who looks like... well... a doll!


    Personality
    Darling. Sweetheart. Angelic.

    These are just a few of the worlds that can be used to describe what people know of Icy at face value. She's a sweet, kindhearted young girl with a pure soul and a charming sense of humor. She loves to make people laugh, and she loves to help anyone in need. If there was a problem, she was always the first to offer her assistance to find a solution. Sadly... not everything on the surface is as it appears to be. Underneath, Icy is actually a very timid, and frightened young girl who's confused fascination with the world around her is extremely overwhelming to her. The conflict of Gods, Morals, Nations... it often causes her to retreat within herself, causing her to retain much of an adolescent personality regardless of her age.

    The first thing someone will notice about Icy is her smile. Always full and wide, she's always very welcoming and warming to everyone she meets. She's a very sweet natured girl who would give the shirt off her back and the shoes off her feet to someone if she knew they desperately needed it. Chipper and upbeat, she has that personality that would light up a room. Granted, this does have it's downside, as most people tend to rather drown themselves in darkness and misery... so Icy tends to keep her distance from those people to avoid upsetting them. Aside from that, Aycievana always seems to know the right thing to say at just the right time in order to make someone smile and feel better about themselves.

    Next to that, her heart is as pure and clean as the fresh waters that trickle from the tips of the mountains in the tallest glaciers. She's a kind soul who would go out of her way to help anyone who needed her. She would never even think of doing anything to anyone that may be considered malicious, even at her own expense. She hates fighting, and the thought of crimes terrifies her more than anything. So don't count on catching Aycievana lying or stealing... because, quite frankly, it would never happen. She's grown up with an appreciation for rules and structure, and abides by rules, codes, and morals both written in stone and religiously understood.

    Granted... a down side is that Aycievana can be considered naive. Her personality puts her in a pleasant disposition to where she can typically see the best in people, and usually she can find the silver lining in even the most grim of situation. This, alas, has made her quite the optimist and with that, also comes the minor sense of naivety. She will often try to look for the best outcome in the worst situation, and even would try to befriend or fix those that she views as "broken", i.e. criminals, juveniles, chauvinists, etc. This tends to backfire on her, and can put her in a very bad place where one would think she would learn to change her views, but one can't help but respect her drive and motivation to try and make the world "right".

    This seems to be speculated from her childhood. When she was a babe, she was told about how she was created, and the fact she doesn't have a "typical standard known" family aside from all of her draconic brothers and sister, and was informed of the hunts and slaughters of her kind, how important it was to remain secretive, Icy feels like she needs to try and "right" the wrong that was committed, but with each failure of trying to befriend someone, and end up getting hurt in the end has caused her to become very insecure. Deep down, she feels as if she'll never amount to a honorable member of society, and she feels that her magic will never be good enough to defend herself against unspeakable evils. This causes her to practice constantly on her abilities, developing an inferiority complex to where she feels inadequate and must always prove herself to those around her.

    Because of her need to feel as if she has to prove herself, she can be extremely helpful to those around her. She seemingly tries to prove her worth and value by solving problems, finding items, cooking meals, or offering assistance to anyone who may need virtually anything the young girl might be able to supply. She's always the first to jump and offer assistance to someone in need, and never quits on anything she sets her mind to. Her word is her bond, also making her an exceptionally loyal person to her word. Once you make a friend or ally in her, you have her bond for life. She would never, on any circumstance, betray the trust of someone she has given her word to, and would even die for someone if a situation called for it, knowing that the person would be okay. This, mixed with her inferiority complex and her insecurities, means she latches on to people whenever she can to keep them close, in fear of losing them.

    That, along with many other fears is another aspect of the girl that she tries to hide, but fails miserably at. Aycievana is actually a very scared, and timid girl when the lights go out. Her fear of losing her friends, to her fear of dragon hunters, to her fear of the dark... Aycievana doesn't do well alone or on her own, and always feels the need to be with someone to not only protect them, but also for them to protect her. When she was young, she was known to have a doll that she would constantly keep with her, but an accident caused her to lose than doll, and to replace it, Icy tends to stay very close to those she trusts, and who trust her.

    But this isn't completely a negative thing, no. Because having Aycievana around can prove to be quite entertaining. Her bubbly chipper personality and her love of humor could be what gets someone through till morning. She's witty, charming, funny, albeit somewhat childish at times, but in the end, your last impression of her will be that she made you smile! Sure, the girl can have her up's and down's, but assuming you can look past them, you'll see that you have a worthy and powerful ally with pure intentions and a good heart who will give you her word as her bond to see things through until the end.


    History

    Personal History
    Quote:
     
    Aycievana Vlorgaandrakus, or Icy as she is better known as for her blue eyes and unique control over frost magic, has in truth, 2 separate stories of her past... that of which she knows to be truth, and that of which the outside world knows to be true.

    The past that all who inquire are blissfully unaware of it's falsehood states that Icy was born the first child to a high noble elf couple in Morrim. They will grow to understand that she had a typical upbringing, despite her drastic and stark difference in appearence from most of the others in the country, and enjoyed her time there as a child. When she discovered she had magic, she was then opted the choice to travel in order to strengthen her abilities before returning to Morrim in order to carry on the legacy of her mother and father as a tradesman and marry. This is the story of nobility and joy that Icy will recant when she is asked of her past, but in truth, her birth and upbringing was far far different.

    As with all Greater Dragons, Icy was born by an essence of magic that combined with the element of ice, and created an egg that would grow in the frozen temperatures until the dragon was ready to hatch. When she was born in the frozen fields of Morrim during one freak and bizzare snow storm, she first emerged as a reptillian beast that was no more than three feet in length. But as with all Greater Dragons, survival was a key, and even at such a young age, the dragon's instinct kicked in, and the long proccess of shifting from a beast to a child was forced on the small body. Upon transformation, what was left was a small white haired child who looked no older than 5 human years, seemingly immune to the cold, who made her way through the fields and the snowstorm to the only refuse she saw. A large manor atop a hill at the end of the fields.

    When she arrived, naked and covered in snow, she knocked on the door, only to have a plump woman answer with shock in her face, scooping up the young girl and wrapping her tightly. She was fed and bathed, dressed neatly before being presented to the Lord and Lady of the home, a young couple with no children of thier own, who took an instant fascination and affection for the child. Her large wide eyes and soft white hair was different from that of the Lord and Lady's darker skin and medium hair, but it was never questioned when the Lord and Lady decided they would claim the child as thier own. All the while, Icy would not complain to having a soft bed to sleep in and a warm meal in her stomach.

    As she grew older, her mother and father noticed that she aged differently than other children, at a much more accelerated rate, but rather than let it bother them, they chose to pass it off as an attribute to the magic skill she had begun to display at a young age. As time went on, her mother and father began to teach her skills of thier trade, exporting and importing to and from other countires. Icy was fascinated by thier skill and the relationships her family had with so many other people in other countries, but just as she was beginning to learn, on her fourtieth birthday, a knock came at the door.

    At the door stood six men and women clad in elaborate and decorated robes of all colors, dressed in fine silks and jewels that sparkled in the eyes of those who saw. They asked to speak with Icy, claiming themselves to be of a prestigious mage's guild who wanted to take her under thier wing for an apprenticeship. Icy, including her mother and father, wanted nothing more than for her to have such an opportunity. But, alas, Icy knew instinctively who these men and women really were. They were like her... six other dragons and beasts such as herself here to protect and educate her.

    When they left, they swiftly travelled to Soto, and that was when Icy was educated, and her dormant memories of the past were reawakened in her mind, knowing the peace Elenlond once saw, the Fire Clensing of Karvesch, and the invasion of the outsiders. Her memories were awakened for the oath, and with such, her vow to uphold it, and her duty as a guardian to protect Elenlond and it's inhabitants. To such a young, timid girl, this was a great deal to absorb, but none the less, she did as such. From that day forward, with the help of her parent's money, and that of the Drakosi, Icy has traveled around under the title of a noble in order to strengthen her magic, and try to network as many people as she can in all cities in order to not only keep an ear open for any uprising, but to also learn about the world, it's history, and hopefully work towards it's better future.




    Racial History
    Quote:
     
    As history would know it, one of the first created and powerful races on Elenlong were dragons. They were the children of the ancients, large, powerful beasts capable of laying seige to lesser being villages single-handedly. They came in droves of all shapes, forms and sizes, but the most powerful of them were known as the Greater Dragon Species.

    Greater dragons were rumored to have grown to the size of small mountains, capable of conjuring magic so powerful, trembles of thier wrath could be felt over the entire world should they had been angered. The were incredibly strong, fast, and powerful, and thier ages gave them infinite wisdom, some believed to have seen over 10,000 years. Born from the magic of the Gods and the Elements, there was one Greater dragon to keep watch over each corner of the world in order to protect the land from complete destruction. They became known by which they were created form.

    Fireborne, Earthborne, Frostborne, Waterborne, Skyborne, Lightborne, and Darkborne.

    There's only 7 greater dragons of 1 primary element, and various psychic abilities.

    Fireborne, Born of the element of Fire
    Earthborne, Born of the element of Earth
    Frostborne, Born of the element of Ice
    Waterborne, Born of the element of Water
    Skyborne, Born of the element of Storms
    Lightborne, Born of the element of Light
    Darkborne, Born of the element of Shadow

    Two common and universal abilities with all dragons is Telepathy and Telekinesis.

    Other abilities such as precognition, dreamwalking, etc are common too, but not present in every dragon. Sadly, they cannot control more than one element, they are restricted to that one only. This compensates for the increase of size, speed, agility, and strength that comes with the dragon form.

    Greater Dragons are born of a single magical essence that has carried over since the dawn of time. The essence combined with an element, and created the dragon. They are born from an egg, and age until they hit maturity at around 60-75 years of age. They can live for anywhere betwee 2,000-5,000 years, and they can die from any mortal mean. Upon death, the magical essence that createn them will separate from the dragon's body, and then reforge with the same element to create another, so the world will never be without the 7 balance.

    These seven greater dragons were designed to protect and keep balance, and charged to be guardians over Elenlond to ensure the world was not met with ill fate. As such, for thousands of years they kept guard, making sure the land continued to stay pure and fruitful for it's inhabitents. But sadly, not all would bode well for the guardians. They tended to argue and bicker, refusing to work with one another, and trying to overrule the other.

    It began as a small tick, poking the corners of his mind, but it swelled like a typhoon, and the Fireborne Greater Dragon, known as "Karvesch", went furious with rage and ran rampant over the land. burning the trees and the beings of the world, the Greater Dragon swollen with dark power. It took the combined efforts of the other six to contain him, and defeat Karvesch to lock him away, the Fireborne essence giving birth to a new guardian. This had become known as "The Fire Clensing". It had taken a great deal of effort for the other six, and it took many years for them to work with one another in order to restore what Karvesch had destroyed. They knew should they have been united instead of divided, they could have prevented the catastrophy.

    As such, they formed a union.

    Drakosi Skarlecschvog

    Upon the entrence of the other-wordly beings, the sins of another world carried over, and the Greater Dragons witnessed a change. Thier people, thier beasts and beings were being pushed out and overran by these newcomers, and the Drakosi was at a lost as to how to handle such. They were unsure if the new beings were a threat, or a gift. In order to protect themselves, they took on the forms of other beings. Humans, elves, dwarves, anything that would blend, and took thier oath of protection to secrecy, fear that knowledge of their strength and power would be taken from them and abused.




    Guild History
    Quote:
     
    Drakosi Skarlecschvog

    The guild, Drakosi, or DS for short, was first formed centuries ago to protect the land, and was common knowledge, but since the Great Migration, DS has fallen on soft lips in order to prevent the power of the Greater Dragons to fall into the wrong hands, and the Greater Dragons have since taken on new forms and personas in order to blend better with the new inhabitants.

    They are a politically neutral faction with no preference to kingdom, but they are spread throughout the kingdoms in order to have ears everywhere in order to continue to uphold thier oath of peace. They take on the roles as councillers, nobles, priests, mages, in order to have ear and foot wherever something may go amiss, and they can react quickly and as secretly as possible.

    "Children of the Ancients", in old tongue, they named the oath. Vowing they would put political, material, and personal differences aside in order to work under the same mission and light to keep watch over the lands and one another. As such, they have since worked together in order to strengthen the pressure of peace and unity between the lands and the people. And for centuries, it worked, Elenlond living in harmony.

    Now, to this day, Drakosi continues to work together in order to promote peace, but they do so under the false titles of nobles or councillers of kingdoms, their true oath and allegiance to the ancients who first bore them, careful to conceal thier identities for protection.






    First Five Abilities
    • Dragon Form – Controllable/Semi-Permanent (Click For Image)
      At will, Icy is able to transform herself into her large reptillian dragon form. In this form, she is able to increase her strength and speed, and is able to fly due to the large leathery wings that sprout from her back. This form is semi-permenent, meaning that she can keep this form, or shift back into her elf form at will. But, the downside to this ability is it takes a great deal of concentration and magic in order to accomplish, so Icy is only able to transform once per day, assuming she has the strangth to do so. Becoming tired or wounded in either form will trap her in that form until she is rested and able to shift once more.
    • Ice Breath – Controllable/Dragon Form Only
      When in her dragon form, Icy is unable to cast spells, so aside from her strength and speed, she also has the ability to breath ice. Her breath thrusts from her maw at high speeds in the form of a mist, and upon contact, will freeze anything in it's path from plants, animals, or people. It's only diractable in a cone shape, so will only effect the area directly in front of her and not beside or behind her. In order to successfully use her breath, she must be able to channel it in order to emit higher volumes of ice, so interruption could mean only a thin layer of ice on her enemies, which could spell a easy escape.
    • Ice Magic – Controllable/ Elf Form Only
      In her elf form, Icy is able to conjure, control, and manipulate ice in many and all ways. Since the air is made up of tiny water particles, Icy is able to freeze them, thus able to conjure ice from thin air. While frozen, she can mold and shape it, break and harden it, and control it's path or direction when not in her hands. Sadly, she must be able to see what she is doing, and she must be able to move her hands in order to perform her magic due to the intricate ritual required for her hands in order to use the magic. In total darkness, or with her hands bound, she is unable to use this magic.
    • Telepathy – Spurradic/Uncontrollable/Both Forms
      On occasion, at random times during all hours of the day and night, typically two or three times a day, Icy will randomly pick up the thoughts of others around her, or even randomly project her own thoughts to someone around her uncontrolably. She has absolutely no control over this ability, and on the chance she randomly picks up the thoughts of someone, it is sometimes mistaken for said person speaking to her, and she will often speak a reply or comment regarding the thought, which on occasion gets her between a rock and a hard place.
    • Dreamwalking – Spurradic/Uncontrollable/Elf Form Only
      Roughly three to four times in a month, when Icy falls asleep within close vicinity of someone, roughly 50 yards, she takes the chance of actually crossing through the tide, and entering the dreams of the closest person to her. She has no control over the dream, nor who's dream she enters, and is merely considered a fragment of the dreamer's imagination. Although, despite this, Icy is still fully aware and conscious within the dream even though she has no way to manipulate or interact with the dream, she is merely just a spectator... which, especially within some dreams, can be a nightmare in itself.
