Adventures of Naletia: The Beads of Light (Interest Check)(Reboot)(Freeform)

Have I ever told you the story of Queen Hiki?

It started nearly 650 years after man first freed themselves from slavery. The dragon overlords were no more, and the human race was finally able to progress. The development of new technologies like the wheel and water power created an era of industry unlike any that has been seen before. In truth, not much changed after the dragons were overthrown, save for one thing: there was no threat, no fear of one day becoming a meal. The people worked gladly, and the nation known as Ermith was born. Under guidance of the king whom led them out of the bonds of slavery, Ermith moved forward to fashion an era of true progress and establish a deep connection with magic.

As more humans became attuned to the ley lines that flowed through the very crust of the earth, mankind began to recognize magic as more than just a single form. There was a shape to it, a texture that made one person's magic different from another. Some became highly attuned to certain types of magic, while others found themselves vulnerable. This led to a cold period in time, where trust was not so easily won. To identify these types of magic, they were given names and called the Elements.

Two peculiar Elements of magic stood out among the rest. They were powerful and corrupt. So much so that those attuned to these types became what we now know today as Abominations. Hideous creatures that take on a demonic appearance, possessed by evil spirits that would take advantage of the weak and misguided minds. These two Elements were inexorably linked to each other, and yet separate. A balance could not be found, and as a result neither had any true weakness. In classic superstition, these elements were called Dark and Light.

One day, a powerful mage found that he had a connection to not one, but both of these dangerous elements. Absorbing the power from the crust of the earth, he intensified the separation between these two elements, severing their connection entirely. Such a feat of magic had never been accomplished before, and the mage died soon after as a consequence of the effort. That man was the firstborn son of the First King, and his legacy lived on with his son, the bloodline of magic remained true.

Though the horizons were calm, a great power rose from the forest to the south. The Elvennahn were angered by the actions of this man, and swore that humankind would pay for their treachery. Influencing the spheres of magic, the very essence that bound the world together, was not just a major offence to the Elvennahn, but to all creatures upon the earth. Thus, monsters came down from the mountains and the forests and the lakes and the rivers to steal from humans. Not their possessions, but their lives. A war broke out between the Elvennahn and the humans.

The Elvennahn lost. Nearly driven to extinction, the last few remnants of elves fled to the shadowy parts of the continent, never appearing in front of humans again. The humans could live with more peace now, knowing that since they drove back two races born and molded by magic, they could defend themselves against any threat, no matter how great.

Except for one. In the time of Queen Hiki, when she was just a young princess vying for the throne of her father, a great darkness swelled up from the corners of the continent. The sun turned black and Ermith was plunged into a cold world, more harsh and unforgiving than even before the dragons were destroyed. Sickness ran rampant throughout the great nation and many died, the king included. So Hiki, having been the firstborn child, became Queen of Ermith at the very young age of nineteen years.

That is only part of the story though. To know the rest, you must see it to believe it. Come with me, and I will take you on a journey through Ermith in the year 642. See for yourself what it was like to live in a world beset with darkness and chaos, and see what it would take to restore balance to the whole world. Know these things through your own eyes and ears, so you may one day tell your children the story of Queen Hiki and her great sacrifice.

Yaaass, Queen Hiki. Yas.

I'll play if you'll have me~

Class

Warrior? Mage? Ranger? Assassin? What kind of character do you want to play? There are benefits to all of these classes, but also just as many drawbacks. The standard is that Warriors are very strong physically, and have a weakness to magic. Mages, in turn are strong with and against magic, but are vulnerable to being physically attacked. There are several ways that you can spin your weaknesses around depending on the class, so this does not have to be an ultimate true, just what is typical. Typical is not always good.
