Listed below are some current site-wide plots/threads that are being played out. For more information or help on how to participate, reach out to Soleil and/or Lunari . Also, feel free to suggest other plots and story ideas by on the appropriate brainstorming channel on our Discord.
Rebuilding Aralore
After the war with Saelis, Aralore was left in ruins. Queen Alexandria sought for aid, and found it with Tresteria's king, Edward. He agreed to help Aralore with rebuilding if she agreed to marry his brother, Prince Aric. She agreed, and the prince moved to Aralore to help with rebuilding and bringing the kingdom back together.
A year had gone by and the kingdom is still in the works of being rebuilt with a lot of work still left to be done. Businesses are slowly getting back on their feet while estates and farmlands are still trying to catch up.
The Tresterian Heir
King Edward made a trip to Aralore to ensure that the kingdom was making progress in its repairs from the war that he has been funding. He had slowly been acting more like a tyrant, becoming greedy and power hungry, and that showed when Aralore held a banquet to discuss the progress of the kingdom. He decided it was not progressing fast enough and wanted to call off the arrangement unless Aralore came under his rule. But he was later convinced it was not a good idea. He agreed to keep the arrangement if his brother and the queen of Aralore married one another before he left to go back to Tresteria. They did, and on the night of their wedding, King Edward- mad with jealousy and greed- attempted to rape the queen, claiming he wanted her for himself. He was caught and thrown into the Aralore prison where he was later found dead. The culprit being a poison that slowly turned him mad and eventually killed him. (Though, someone else poisoned him that night, unknowing of the long-lasting poison already coursing through his body. The quick poison was what killed him.)
Now, Prince Aric brings the king's body back to Tresteria with the rest of his family. The heir of the throne is too young to become king, and Tresteria will not allow a women ruler. So the Queen, Eleesa Demarais, becoming regent is out of the question. The Tresterian court must find a new trusted regent that will not corrupt the kingdom, and will help mold young Edward II to become a good king. Who will they choose? Who can they trust?
The Order of Saelis
Aralore- with the help of her allies- had won the war against Saelis; killing their leader, Lord Aramis. While Aralore believed this would end the feud between them, the Order became more angry and appointed a new leader who wished to seek revenge for Aramis' death, thus continuing his mission on taking over Aralore and find something (a weapon) that they have been seeking for many years.
When the Tresterian king came to visit and the banquet was held, the Saelis military posed as Tresterian guards and sneaked into the Aralorian castle. They attacked in the middle of the banquet, making the others believe King Edward ordered his guards to attack. An assassination attempt was made on Queen Alexandria. The impostors were killed off, but several spies either escaped back to Saelis, or were captured and held in the Aralorian prison.
Later, Eoin (a former ranger commander of Aralore's army) returned after a year of being presumed dead. He had been held captive in Saleis for nearly a year, managing to finally escape back to Aralore to warn them that a bigger war was coming. The Order of Saelis was planning another attack, desperate to find this so-called weapon no one could identify. Now, the people of Aralore need to prepare and plan on what to do if another war strikes. They are still reeling from the first war.
The NPC kingdoms a part of the Order: Noath, Etravia, and Ocandra
Teronna's War on Magic
It had started over two decades ago, when King Allarick's once beloved wife still sat in power beside him. Magic was still praised and welcomed until Allarick's mind was tainted with false accusations of magic being evil. That those who wielded it could never be pure of heart and thus did the bidding of the darkness.
It was with these accusations that led Allarick to condemn his own wife to death, to be burned in the city square as an example of what was to come. Some claim, even still, that this was the day their king truly lost his mind...
Present day, the number of magic users (known as Mystics in Teronna) has dwindled. However, they are still fighting for their right to live in the world; some even desperately trying to make others understand that not all magic is evil. Even still, the king's council had gathered to resolve this "problem"...and their answer was the creation of the Wardens.

Feuding Clans
Currently, Aldsage is not a part of the Elysium alliance as they seem to only be interested in their own territory. However, ever since the Drach Clan slaughtered the Necrons a few years ago, tension has risen between all clans of the emerald isle. The Drachs have become power hungry, threatening to takeover more territory. Will the other clans continue to remain by themselves to try and deal with this threat, or will they come to a compromise and band together against the largest clan in Aldsage?
[We are currently in need of clansmen and chieftains! Check the info threads to see which ones are available.]
