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.

    Discusses rape and physical assault sorta indirectly.)

    It's safe to sleep in the day. Vorkael's downstairs, you're upstairs, nothing can happen.
    And yet her eyes remained open, her ears searching for the opening of the door, steps on the floorboards. No, no, it didn't feel safe now, it hadn't for days. She couldn't clearly remember the last time she'd slept- had it been before all this or had she managed to drift off some time? Her body hurt, her mind was a swill of disconnected thoughts, and yet no matter how much valerian tincture she took, she could not sleep.
    Not today either.
    She kicked her blankets off and swung her legs off the bed, staring around the room. This inn wasn't helping- it seemed like it would fall apart at any moment, and the boards that separated her from the next room weren't put together well. She worried that someone could see through, but was too afraid to peer into the other room to see if there was, in fact anyone there. Sometimes she thought she heard breathing, or the rustling of sheets, but she thought she heard a lot of things when she was sleep-deprived.
    She stared at the wall for a few minutes, struggling through a mental fog until she finally found what she was supposed to do next.
    Put on your shoes.
    She reached for the leather boots, and in bending over to do so, she felt like the world tumbled and shook inside her head. She grimaced, paused, and then pulled them on. Fingers shaking, she just barely managed to tie the laces- they would probably just come untied but she felt like she couldn't change that, somehow.
    She heaved her aching body up to standing, picked up her bag, her staff, and went out the door, downstairs.
    Might as well try to sell herbs while you can.
    Out into the sun- felt so strange in her situation. Her mind lingered on that night, and on what this night would be...her arm ached most of all, but she ignored it. The bruise was hidden under a sleeve, hidden from sight but not from her mind. Mentally, she lived in the night, her hours married to shadow.
    The streets were full of rickety houses and places of ill repute, but other than that were surprisingly devoid of life. This place seemed more nocturnal to- people could get up to more in the night, or at least that was the impression she got.
    Night...Night... She sighed, closed her eyes for a moment and felt the rocking of her steps send her plunging into a momentary abyss. She felt as if she slept for a moment, but then she stumbled in her step and came back to earth. She sucked in a deep breath and blinked herself into wakefulness, suppressing a yawn.
    Down the street she went, feeling all the way as if the world was warping around her. She bit her lip to keep her on the earth, thinking Stupid. When you try to sleep, you cannot. When you try to stay awake-
    Her thoughts were interrupted by a wavering cry. She looked around stupidly, trying to locate the source of the call. It came again, louder this time, and she realized it was coming from an alley. Cautiously, she walked to the entrance of the alley, peered into the shadows where the sun didn't show her face.
    What she saw made her retch with a sudden wave of fear.
    Lying on the dirty cobbles was a woman, her face dark with bruises, her mouth open and crying out, eyes searching for help. She was like a broken bird, her bright red dress torn and dirtied, the skirts flung up to reveal scraped knees and bruised legs, a swollen ankle.
    It was clear what had happened here- she stumbled over and sank to her knees beside the woman, holding out a shaking hand. "I'm here, I'll take care of you."
    The woman saw her, looked at her face, and reached out, taking Nevneni's hand. For a moment, Nevneni was unseeing, her eyes glazing over and her mind succumbing to darkness. Memories, old and bitter, crawling in like thorny vines, drawing blood. The same old things- moonlight, crickets, sweat, alcohol, humidity, waves, breathing, shadow and she was those words that pounded in her head- Nothing, nothing at all.
    She swallowed back nausea, her eyes focused on the broken woman's face. This is no time for yourself, Neni. It felt as if the world was piling itself on her back, night by night, but there was no time for self-pity now, for others had worse. She drew in a long breath, steeled herself, pushed the shadows away, and began her work.
