Realm of the Mystic Mines
The Setting
In a time long forgotten, a different world; a time of Dragons, Unicorns and Mythical creatures, a time of Elves, Dwarves, Men and other races, there lay The Realm of Mystic Mines.
Within the realm lay several Kingdoms, the main one being The Kingdom of Jewels. It got it's name from the travellers who were impressed by it's abundance of wealth that stems from the variety of gems that it produces.
Much activity takes place in this Kingdom, and travelers come from the surrounding Kingdoms often as it is the central point of trade and home to the richest mines.
The currency of the land is gems and minerals. Raw and refined.

Raenwynn, was a poor peasant girl from the farmlands in the Kingdom. Her family toiled on the lands for the Lord who owned them. She was dressed in rags and usually filthy, but there was something about her...Her eyes were a brilliant blue the colour of the Sapphires from the mines and had a mysterious gleam. Her oval face was very pretty, porcelain-like, when it was clean. She had a very slight build, but was deceivingly strong from her labour on the farm. Sometimes unexplainable things happened around her, but her family would ignore her or pretend nothing happened, if they noticed at all.
Almost of marrying age, she dreamed of escaping this life but knew, because of her family's status, she would likely be married off to the aging farmer down the road for a cow or two.

demon was born deep within the moonstone mountains. A corupted child Early in life who sought to learn everything there was about magic and the ways it flow. While in the search to gain more power and become more powerfull he turned to the shadows. Killing both his parents he allowed the shadows and demons to become a part of him and allowed himself to become a shade (shadow Wizard/Sorceror). Now with all the power he needs and the corruption from shadow and the demonic spirits that bind him to the shadows he travels the wilds causeing corruption and suffering

 Brynn was stolen as a baby from the village that resides within the royal court. Born the daughter of the Duke and Dutchess of Emerald, she was taken by the Sandstone thieves as a baby and raised by them. She possesses power, something she's managed to keep hidden from the thief leader, Draven. The old leader, the one who had raised her, knew, but after his death she'd decided to keep the secret hidden. The new leader was not much older than she, and Brynn knew that he wanted to make her his. Brynn was the only girl close enough to his age to take as a wife, and she was the most beautiful, or so he kept saying. He made no attempt to hide his interest in her from anyone else in the Hideout. The whole idea made Brynn sick inside. She'd seen the result of the occasional slave that he'd taken to his tent for a night or a quick tumble. She vowed to herself that he would never do anything like that to her. She was told a secret by the man she'd known as her father as he lay on his deathbed, she wasn't his true daughter. She had real parents somewhere out there. Perhaps if she could find them, she could get away from Draven for good. He hadn't been in power long, but so far he'd managed to retain the code that had been passed down to every leader thus far. Innocent never come to harm during raids.She is proficient with numerous weaponry, as well as weaponless combat. Her magical skills include controlling light, and being able to move objects just by thinking about it. Her weapon of choice is a staff, but if that is unavailable, she prefers to use a sword.

Startled from her quiet spot where she sat weaving reeds for baskets, Raenwynn looked up see her father approaching with the aging farmer down the road. The old farmer looked her over from head to toe.
"her hips are rather small....you say she's strong?"
Realizing her worst fear was coming to pass, the rest of their conversation was a distant murmur as her mind raced.
Later that night, when all were asleep by the hearth, Raenwynn gathered up her few belongings and slipped outside. She took one last look at the shack, knowing she could never return, and headed off at a swift pace towards the Emerald forest.

Brynn loved hunting. It got her away from camp and Draven. Why couldn't he just leave her alone? She had no desire to marry him, none whatsoever. She hated him with every fiber of her being. She could feel an evil eminating from him every time he came close to her. She knew that if she ever agreed to marry him, her life would never be the same. She would lose her freedom and her happiness. Who knows, he may decide then to keep her locked in the tent, a prisoner in what would be her home, there only for his pleasure.
Brynn fought off a wave of nausea at the thought. She supposed she could run away and try to find her parents. But without knowing where to start, Brynn knew that wouldn't be a very successful venture. She needed a guideline, some kind of starting point. But where? There are a few villages where she could have been taken from, and what's worse, it could have been from a family that had only been visiting there. That wouldn't be helpful either. No, she needed a solid lead to begin a journey like that.
She instead turned her attention to the elk grazing beyond by the Gold Dust River inside the Emerald Forest. She took an arrow from her quiver and aimed it at the elk closest to her. Not one sound was made by Brynn the entire time. Suddenly, the elk's ears twitched and it took off, as did the others. Brynn shot the arrow, but it hit only water.
Damn, she thought, someone else is in this forest. She hoped it wasn't Draven. Being out here, alone, without the safety of the others at camp would be disasterous. There would be no telling what he would do to her.
Brynn stayed crouched in the brush where she'd hidden. She wanted to retrieve her arrow but didn't want to be spotted until she knew who or what she was dealing with. Stealing herself, and taking one glance around to make sure no one saw her, she used her light ability to make herself invisible. Then she sat and waited to see who was here.

On the edge of the moonstone mountains that border the Enchanted Emerald forest shadows move from here to there. All is quite. No sounds of animals can be heard which is unusual. A squirrel stares out through the forest waiting for something to show itself. It begins to climb down through the oak tree to the leaf littered forest.
Shadows leak from the dark creature as it stares down its prey. All is quite. The wind begins rustleing the leaves as dawn begins to break. The creature leaks out shadows from his hand and it disapaers in the shadows of the forest
The squirrel senses something is not right and begins to run off. rustleing can be heard behind him. Something streaks past the warry eye of this defenseless creature. several other projectiles fly past as the squirrel dodges them
The being behind the squirrel knock another arrow into his bow and releases it. he begins to feel something tugging at his leg and as he looks down, what he sees terrifies him. A cold shock works its way up through his legs as the shadows begin to engulf him. trying so hard to scream he lets out the tiniest scream. The shadows now surround his whole body and no sound is heard. the shadws quickly tighten dowen on his body as a crunching soud of his bones can be heard. Blood sprays everywhere. the shadows receed and what is left is a bloody lifeless lump of flesh that was once a human body.

Lord Thaine, King of Jewel Kingdom, stood in his private chambers looking out over the Enchanted Emerald Forest, one of his few and rare private moments away from the bustling court.
A young King, eldest of 3 brothers, he was constantly looking over his shoulder. Attempts on his life had been made in the past and he was sure would be attempted again. His crown was much sought after by his brothers and other Lords in the land.
Thaine came to the throne young when his father died in battle defending the lands from neighboring enemies.
He was forced into a loveless marriage for political gain but had yet to have a son. It could be that he tried to spend as much time away from his wife as possible, or...could someone be trying to sabotage his chances of having an heir as well?
However, he tried to keep the peace between himself and the Queen, he was sure she was just as miserable as he.
He denied her nothing and was very discreet with his affairs.
