Welcome to Gaia! ::

This land is called Tempestous, but most would rather refer to it as "tempestutous". Tension rises, war is brewing in the background. The Stentorians will be the first to rise to the cause, marching in bravely with their well trained armies. Next, the feints, softly hiding in the shadows..until they are asked to strike. Each group will join and Tempestous will fall farther into anarchy without Vulfram, its diety.

Many have heard the legends, but only a few dare to seek him out. Let us journey to the mountains. Let us face what lies within the forest and find the icy winds of perpetual winter. We we will go and we will bring back Vulfram's frozen tear, a gem that will name the ruler of Tempestous under the Winter God himself.

..and that's what they all said, but only a few ever returned home, and we've not seen any sort of gem yet. Will you be the next to perish, or will you be the one to retrieve Vulfram's Tear?



1. Follow all Gaia Terms of Service.
2. No Godmodding or Powerplay.
3. Deaths must be determined by the player of the character killed.
4. Please post a Profile before you jump in.
5. Literacy is appreciated.
6. No magical powers (unless pre-approved, so ask ^^)
7. No "blank-modding" (leaving gaps during fights that can be filled in in a later post to twist things in your advantage, if I see it, I will point it out and we will all laugh at you)
8. Multiple characters are allowed.
9. All nessessary ranks will be vague NPCs until we find someone to fill them.



Any sort of magical power will be limited to selvetes with special familiars, pscitines (air), fien (water), and half-breeds from the forest. Limited mind-probing will be limited to dragonriders or griffenriders from Regiment 3.


For anyone who is wonder, I will not be creating a character for a little while, as in order to have big events (like competitions or village festivals), there must be a bunch of NPCs that are never seen again.

Character Class

Feints- The ruthless and merciless, this class is for killers. They are raised to fight from birth through an apprentice system. They show very little emotion.

:: Darkie walked in the area, her wolven tail giving a wag once as the smell of life passed by her nose. She'd walk over to a flat, sturdy wall and lean against it. Eyes blinking though only one eye was visable. Ice seemed to just freeze as a necklace across her chest though it did not feel cold. ::

[ Can I use a character I have already made? Described and all x.x; ]

To begin, RP yourself into your village. Once we have enough people, an NPC will come to your village inspiring interest in Vulfram's Tear. Then you can decide to set out on your journey and band up with people you meet.

((*claps* Our first character! 18 is a little young for Whalem though. sweatdrop Of course, there's no reason he can't be one of the best, just not the officially recignized best. I guess if nobody takes that position with an older character, there can be an event later for claiming the Whalem Rank.))

Player: XxStarchildxX
Name: Liuana
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: Young and slender, she has dark skin from the Desert sun and long dark hair, which she braids to keep out of her face. She wears a white, light cloth shirt and a long brown skirt made of light fabric and that is easy to move in. One can nearly get lost in her dark eyes that show no emotion. That being said, however, she does tend to smile often and enjoys plants and flowers, and entagles herself in vines to show that.
Picture: [x]

Class: Svelte
Rank: Svelttess, training to become Mystweaver
Village: N/A

Bio: Liuana is a very skilled healer, learning everything from her Mother, who was a healer herself. However early on she found herself enthralled with poisonous plants and illusionism, she now trains as an apprentice to the Mystweaver to take the place of the current one.

Other Notes: Her favourite plant is Poison Ivy, and although has permanent rashes and scars on her hands, arms and legs from touching it, she has now become immune. Her favourite flower is the Rose
