Plot and Setting~
(map without text)






Welcome to the world of ever-growing life - Horadies!

Horadies is one of the four sister worlds known as Omnerias, and it's a world of lush forests and deep mountains, representing the power of the soil and the element of Earth.
Most of the world consists of large land masses, with only small patches of ocean inbetween here and there.
Night and day flows normally, as Horadies has one sun that circles around her, as well as one moon circling in the opposite direction.
At night the lights of far off dimensions reach into Horadies, lighting up the sky like billions of tiny stars.

OOC
Horadies is part of Omnerias, and like its sisterworlds, it follows a certain set of rules.
Being a world tied to the soil, and to the element of earth, all kinds of life and death magic, magic related to the physical body, as well as magic tied to the element of earth, is significantly stronger than any other kinds of magic.
Which means that a person using nature magic, which is tied to earth, will always be stronger than a person using air magic, as long as they are within the boundaries of Horadies.

The setting is very fantasy-ish, as there are no modern things such as electricity of any kind.
In fact, electricity and all kinds of modern devices won't even work in this world!
The few societies found around Horadies are similar to those you'd find in a typical fantasy game setting, with forest dwellings and woodland cottages.
The temperature is very average, tho during mid-day it can be become extremely humid, due to many of the forest being similar to jungles.
This is a great place for a druid! =D And, you know, elves and typical fantasy-themed characters.

Mother Tree Town ~

In the west is where you'll find the only town and proper settlement in Horadies - the Mother Tree Town.
This is where you'll find most of the inhabitants in Horadies, residing in various homes that range from cottages to tree-houses.

It is a gathering place for all the inhabitants of the surrounding woods.

Tree Mother ~
"Welcome to the Mother Tree, traveler.

I am the Tree Mother.
The very essence of this ancient tree.
I have been around since the creation of this world...

Please..
Be at ease, here.
This is a safe haven.
My roots will keep you protected."

Innkeeper ~
"Looking to stay the night?"

~ Woods of the Mother Tree

The woods surrounding the Mother Tree is where the inhabitants of the town make their homes.
You'll find anything from simple cottages and tree-houses, to cozy homes molded from the trunk of a tree.
If you wish to make your home here, the options are endless.

~ Earth Temple ~

Deep inside the roots of the Mother Tree is a massive building hidden from sight.
This ancient temple, built as a tribute to the Earth, is what provides the Mother Tree, and Horadies, with its power.
All life flows from within the temple, and its head priestess.

I am Titania, Queen of the Fairies.

Tell me..:

What brings a traveler such as yourself to our woods..?"

(clickable NPC pictures will take you to the NPC profile post for Horadies)

The Woods ~

The Evergreen Woodlands have gotten its name from the surrounding evergreens that frames the woods.
But, if one ventures deeper into them, one will find a a mysterious jungle - with trees none has ever seen before.
But, be careful where you step!
The trees have been known to be mischevious, tripping visitors with their roots.

~ Lake Terracoute

The large lake to the east of the woodlands is the Lake Terracoute.
It is a popular place to go swimming on hot days, as the water is always nice - not too cold, nor all that warm.
And, if you manage to dive deep enough, you might just meet its inhabitants

~ Mermaid
"A-are you from the land..?

Heehee..

Can you...

Can you breathe under water, like us?"

The Earthen Caverns - a deep and dark maze of caves, known for its tendency to make adventurers disappear.
What lurks within the depth of the mountains..?

~ Tower of the Magi

In the middle of the mountain stands the mysterious Tower of the Magi.
It is a place filled to the brim with magic, powerful enough to make its imprint on even magic-less creatures.
What could be hidden inside...?

~ Hermit's House ~

On the east side of the mountain range lies a tiny cottage in solitude.
Inside resides a lonely hermit whose identity remains a mystery to all.

The Hermit ~

(clickable NPC pictures will take you to the NPC profile post for Horadies)

The Desert ~

The desert is strangely not as hot as one would think, and traveling through is far from dangerous.
Aside from a couple of scorpions here and there, the desert is pretty free of dangerous creatures.
And with the heat never reaching high enough to be of any danger, the desert is a popuar place for adventurers to visit.

~ Nomads Camp

Far to the north in the desert, nestled at the base of a mountain and its shadows, lies the camp of a group of nomads.
The camp has become a permanent settlement, and though the people travel around the desert, they always return there after a while.

Swamp of Horadies ~

To the north is where you fill find the Swamp of Horadies - home of the Huldra.
(clickable NPC pictures will take you to the NPC profile post for Horadies)

The Swamp ~

The Swamp of Horadies is large, and deep, yet strangely not as deadly as most swamps.
If one only step carefully, avoiding the sinkholes, crossing the swamp is not all that hard.
That is... If you don't meet the beautiful Huldra.

The Huldra ~
"My, my, my...

A mortal...?

In my realm..?

How... Fascinating.

Care to... Play?"  

[Arcaiia]

The Isle ~

Greenland Isle is a haven of gorgeous forests, breathtaking mountains, and flower-filled fields.
The beauty of its nature is nearly unmatched, and many travel here to take it in.
Though everyone talks about how it would be a perfect place to make a home, strangely enough, no one ever goes to the step of doing so.  

[Arcaiia]

The Black Castle ~

To the north-west, in the corner of Horadies, is a strange isle.
Nothing but death and emptiness can be found, hiding in the shadows of a giant, black castle.
(clickable NPC pictures will take you to the NPC profile post for Horadies)

Abandoned Village ~

Just to the east of the Black Castle lies an abandoned village.
What happened to it is unknown, but the empty buildings show no sign of struggle of any kind.
It's as if all the inhabitants one day just decided to leave.
Or, they simply vanished...?

~ The Black Castle

At the scenter of the island, surrounded by mountains, stands a giant, black castle.
The entire air around it seems to reek of dark magic, and it's a place that is best avoided.
Could whatever's inside really be worth risking your life...?
