History Of The World
"There was a time, long ago when men and dragons lived together in peace and friendship. Peace, that did last. It was broken when the dragons attacked. We dubbed it the end of the world but what came next was far worst. The dragons betrayed us, they burnt down our homes and kingdom. We were united, they divided us. After only two weeks seventy percent of our world was burnt to ashes but the war thrived for three hundred years. We searched for many of those years to find a metal that could break through the dragons' scales but we had no such luck. We stopped praying to our gods, they had left us to die. When steel and arrows failed us we turned to magic, at the time it was a dark art practiced by only those who lived in the dark corners of the world. For us, it was the perfect weapon. It turned the tides of battle. Within several months after we began using magic the dragons fell from the sky. When the monsters were nearly extinct they fled to high mountains and caves never to be seen again. The time for them to destroy us had passed, now we were going to destroy ourselves. With introduction of magic a civil war broke out. Half of the remaining world wanted to keep the art, the other wanted to destroy it. This war only divided us in half other then that is did little. Magical stones continued to sell on the Ash Lands of the world where magic was very very strong and in the South where a kingdom rose among the forest magic was forbidden. For years the two kingdoms were locked in constant war, if there was peace on one front, there was conflict on another. No one could escape it. But once again the threat of the dragons rising loomed over us, now divided we were not as strong. Those who used the art of sorcery did not help the South when the dragons attacked. At least, not all, some rose to help and the dragons were forced back. No one knew from what kingdom these new saviors came from, so both expelled them. A third empire was birthed. Now three kingdoms stood, The South, The North, and The Ash Lands. War constantly broke out among them. One day the north began to suffer mutations. For one hundred years no one would know that is was the sorcery of the Ash Land king that caused it. Many viewed it was a curse and some viewed it as a blessing. They did not divide seeing as they all agreed that it did not change anything. The current year is 1476 B.C. for two hundred years we have lived in this post-apocalyptic, divided, burnt world. Each Kingdom has developed it's own form of money and laws. The Kingdoms remain at war."

The Kingdoms And Their Systems
The North
This land is in a never ending state of winter. Snow falls every day and the cold never ends. As a defense the King had his men create a wall of ice three miles high and seventeen feet thick. It lies along the border of his kingdom. There are some tunnels along major roads that allow entrance to and from the empire and it is defended by elite guards who stand on the top readied for any form of combat. At some points their are ladders that allow access up and down the wall. The Castle that the King lives in lies dead center of the Kingdom so if the wall is breached the attackers would have to tread through harsh winter one hundred miles at all points in order to reach the King. The military is strong, as are the people. They are tough and brittle. The cold is an everyday thing for them. The Kingdom was once mocked as as frozen hell in which live the demons of war. Some of the people have mutations but not all.
Laws and Current Ruler
1. If your land is destroyed by war you will be granted fair payment for a new home.
2. Treason is punishable by death.
3. Should a man kill another, he will be forced to the wall, where he will serve a term of three years then be put to death.
4. Eye for and Eye system.
5. Should the King betray his people he will be removed from the throne by force.
6. No one shall be persecuted for the use or practice of magic unless it is used to harm the people of the kingdom.
The Current Ruler Is Lucian Dantes
The South
The South is a land surrounded by trees. The Kingdom lies within a jungle. It holds many cities and the climate is dry. There are many water sources throughout the empire and it uses the forest as a natural defense by surrounding the kingdom in a dense thick layer of trees and grass. This helps to surprise most enemies and slow those who try to escape prison. The people look out only for themselves and try to further only their lives.
Laws and Current Ruler
1. No man is exempt from our laws aside from the Royal Family.
2. All crimes are punishable by death or torture.
3. Mutants are to be hunted with extreme force, they are not of this empire.
4. Guards have the rights to search any citizens home at any time to ensure safety within the empire.
5. The use of Magic in any form is a crime punishable by death.
The Current Ruler Is Severide Jackson
The Ash Land
This land is what the name would imply, the ground is ash but due to the extensive use of magic it is able to sustain and grow crops. Most people here know how to use magic and all buildings are made of stone. Due to the low amount of crops this land remains as strong as the other two even though it makes up much more of the land. This land was birthed by the dragons when they attacked and burnt most of the world down. The people are kind but not always fair.
Laws and Current Ruler
1. Magic of all forms is encouraged but necromancy is only encouraged when practiced in set locations on the land.
2. Mutants are to be treated as you see fit.
3. No death penalty shall be inflicted.
4. Extreme crimes are punishable by loss of magic (we will take your magic from you)
5. You must give everybody a first chance but are not required to give them a second.
6. All who are not loyal to the royal family are to be arrested, then given a trial and judged based upon how useful they can be.
The Current Ruler Is Eureka Fortuna

ACCEPTED PROFILES The NorthUsername: Nine1122 Character Name: Lucian Dantes Nicknames or Titles: "The Dragon of The North", "The King of The North" Occupation: King / General Age: 32 Magical Ability: - Telekinesis - Chill (Ability to create ice, control ice, or shatter ice) Mutation: Dragon Scales (Dragon scales cover his body when it is at risk) Born In: The North Allegiance: The North Bio: Lucian was born on the streets of the Northern Kingdom where he grew up. Even as a child he spent most of his youth learning how to use a sword. Though when the war came to his doorstep he learned he was going to be much stronger then he had though. His family was killed and he would have been too, only when the sword of a Southern warrior came down on him the blade shattered. He learned then that he was a mutant. The rest of the battle was lost to the history books. Nothing of note happened. With no home he traveled to the palace to request payment as the law claimed he always would be able to do but upon arriving he found himself distracted from his true goal. He was only 15 when he met his first love. Little did he know who the girl was. They dated for a month before he discovered she was the daughter of the King. It did not change how he felt about her. Her father was a kind man, but he was old, they became friends. Within two years. at the age of 19, he wed the princess. One year later he found himself shipped off to war. He did not remain for long because he was called back by the King. He was to serve as a personal guard to the Royal family he had wed into. Lucian did not complain, the longer he had with his wife the better. For one year he guarded them then the war reached his doorstep again. Only now his doorstep was the palace.(This is what later inspired him to build the wall.) They did not have the defenses required and the palace was breached. Lucian fought his way to the King and his family but was struck upon his head by a falling pillar. The dragon skin would not protect him from the impact because he didn't see it coming. When he woke up he saw the King and his son battling enemies from the South, his wife and the Queen were trying to get the pillar off of him. Then the King's son was beheaded and the King was stabbed. The soldiers moved towards the princess and the Queen. He could not fight to stop them and his screams fell on the soldier's deft ears. The women were dragged into another room despite their kicking and screaming. The screaming that came after told Lucian everything he needed to know. His wife and her mother had been raped by the Southerners. The Ash Land people may have cursed him but this was not something he would forgive. At least the Ash Land people had given him something to protect himself. It was when the silence came that the rage hit him. His will grew strong and the pillar lifted off him and smashed into a platoon of Southerners. Then he ran toward the room in which the painful screams had come. A few other guards behind him the rest were tending to the king. Upon entering he found his wife and the Queen naked with their throats slit. The Southerners were in the corner redressing themselves. With rage in him his whole body became covered in dragon scales and when he opened his mouth he left out a blast of ice that froze the cruel men solid. Over the next few days funerals were hosted, none of which he attended because in his eyes, he had done this by being too weak to save them. The King was dying and unable to leave bed. The only true heir to the throne had been killed. Men had begun calling Lucian "The Dragon of The North" because of what he had done to the Southerners. On the day of the King's death Lucian met with him. The king told Lucian he was giving him everything, the throne, the land, the people, even his wealth, everything. After the death of the King no one denied The Dragon his throne. He built the wall to better the protection of his empire and legend is that the two Southerners who defiled his wife are somewhere in the massive construction. He rebuilt the empire and now it thrives under him. Though he always will have the memories that torture him. He is a King in a mask, but he is just and fair. He often visits his people to show he is there to help them, not himself. He will always put on a smile and make jokes, but in his core he is sad, and broken. Other: Has several scars across his back and chest.

 The Ash LandsUsername: Creamsicle Bunnies Character Name: Eureka Lenore Pozlaceny Fortuna Nicknames or Titles: “The Beloved Queen of Ash”, “The Brilliant Pyrotechnician”, “Sly Fox” Occupation: Queen, and famed Pyrotechnician Age: Twenty eight Magical Ability: Pyromancy, the ability to control fire, in which she often uses in explosives. Telekinesis, the ability to move object with mind capabilities. Mutation: None Born In: The Ash Lands Allegiance: The Ash Lands Bio: Eureka’s birth was a planned one, and many tales grew from it. They prophesized the child to be born of brilliance, and as a youth, was seen as a prodigy. She was born to royalty, and spoiled as the princess to one of the King’s many concubines. Eureka’s talents in magic were mastered at a young age, a "natural", one would call it. Despite being a golden child, she was rather rebellious in her youth, wreaking havoc for her erogenous mother and her frustrated caretakers. She took more so after her father, who raised her to be a fiery and clever being. Her father motivated her to become a trail blazer, despite Eureka being a female. He felt that she deserved everything, despite being born in the ashy plains of his kingdom. Inspired by her father’s philosophy, she began to study on her own. She became famous for her research and her pyrotechnics at the young age of fifteen. For several more years, she studied, and was dubbed a eccentric experimenter. However, the war had halted her research and Eureka was forced to pause her studies to aid her father in war preparations. The front moved to the north. Despite her father’s sly character, who would be trusting one minute and betray you the next, he found it in himself to at least aid in the North’s fight, pitying the kingdom who lost practically everything. After such a battle, the Ash Land forces retreated, becoming slightly isolated. Eureka eventually and ceremoniously took the throne at twenty five, her father dying of old age. He ultimately did, and Eureka’s reign has marked a new age for her country. Other: Eureka is a universal and rather philosophical person. She is open to new ideas and innovations, however, like her father, she is not entirely to be trusted. She tends to be a little mental at times, yet her strong will makes up for what she lacks as a male ruler. Pic:  _________________________________________________________________ Username: SnowPuppy_McL Character Name: Kaia Ulrin Nicknames or Titles: "Kai", "Killer in the Water" Occupation: Traveler and 'Assassin' Age: Twenty Seven Magical Ability: Water Manipulation - Giving her the Ability to breath under water, manipulate other water sources such as Ice, Snow, etc, and many more. Mutation:Many cat-like features such as: Cat eyes, allowing her to see well in the night; Snow Leopard prints run over her skin; and cat-like reflexes. Born In: The Ash Lands Allegiance: Lies with any but the South. Bio: Kaia was born and raised in the heart of the Ash lands. When she first came into this world, she was only a simple girl who would grow to help with the harvest of crops, just as her mother had and her mother before; but destiny had a different plan for her. Around the age of five, more people noticed her mutations and abilities to do things most couldn't. She could move with so much grace even in the darkest of nights but her affinity for water is what got most others attention. She was meant for something bigger and better. Sadly, her quiet and reserved personality kept most from wondering about her. As she grew, so did her powers and her yearn to harness them greatly. Her mother pushed her to practice her gift and she did just that. By the time she was thirteen, word had spread around the lands of her powers but the princess had out shinned her with her own gift of pyrotechnics. Soon after, Kaia's mother died of a sickness that had lasted many years. Kaia grieved for many days and many nights, and not long after she found herself longing for purpose in her life. War was her answer. She'd heard of the Ash Lands going to war with the North and decided it should be her duty to defend her home land. When that chapter in her life ended and the princess took the throne due to the kings death, Kaia decided it was time to start the new chapter by traveling. She earned money by killing, and the task came easier than she expected though she did not enjoy it much. Eventually, though, she would return to her homeland. Other: Pic:

Severide sat at his throne listening to some of the other general go on and on about what to do with the North. He sighed getting up and grabbing the throat of the nearest general. "You will get me a plan to invade. The sooner the better." He dropped the body on the floor. "Oh get a new general and clean this mess up." He dismissed everyone still sitting at his throne. He growled and stood up. Walking through the palace doors trapping several guard in place not to follow and walked through the streets of the city below. Walking through the streets he watched as everybody bowed as he walked by. Either cowering in fear or some sick admiration. He walked through alleyways and stopped at several shoppe. Only to find himself at the doors of the cites most famous brothel.

Lucian Dantes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucian sat upon his throne looking towards the doors that lead into the cold chamber. A storm beat down upon the Palace but that did not make he or his people think any differently of the times. He was a fair king and would provide if asked and presented a fair case. His throne was not a normal one. IT held no gold, or silver, just iron and steel. It was the throne of a warrior King, not a spoiled child. None of the palace guard were present in the throne room. Lucian took at least one hour every day to just be alone with his thoughts. Half way through a man came bursting into the throne room holding a letter.
"My King! My King I bring urgent news! Our spies in-"
"Slow down, breath, you have had a long trip." Lucian ordered and the courier did so.
"Our spied in the South have received news, they intend to invade...." The courier explained.
"Then why are you here, please, go assemble my generals." Lucian rose from his throne adorning his silver crown, the one sign of wealth he would publicly display, but it had a story behind it. Within the hour his generals had assembled much like Severide's likely were. He hated that man. It was he who had lead the march to attack the North. That man had ordered the men to do as they did, but he also put Lucian on the throne. He was not as smart as he thought. The generals argued on how to act shouting at each other with every new idea.
"Silence!" The king shouted. "Let the South come, they can not climb the wall, it is too high and they will have frozen before getting half way to the top, they can not break it, for it is too thick. The only choice they would have is to enter from one of our extremely well guarded tunnels, and when they do they still have to tread through the storm. By then we would know and they would fall. Do you all forget why we have not been attacked ever since I took the throne?" The king rose from his chair looking at them. "No one dares to attack the Dragon of the North, no one dares try to break the wall. No one holds an army great enough. Any skill they have is beaten by our magic and gift from the Ash Lands."
"My King they may still manage to get through, we are not ready for an attack, our budget has fallen in the storm. We are paying for to many repairs."
"We have the wealth needed for war. We have plenty of money."
"Please do something to ensure protection."
"Fine, send word to the Ash lands request a way to ensure peace with them. They helped the last King in the South as much as they could, if they are willing to help again great if not was will manage." Lucian ordered and the letter had begun being written.
"My King, should they say no-"
"I will go there personally and request again, we do not wage war unless we must that is key, do not start a war you will not win."
"Your skin may protect you but it will not save us all-"
"Nor will it have to, do not speak to me as if I am some child, these battles have hurt me more then-"
"No! Families die everyday butchered somewhere you are not the only one who suffers loss." Like that the King had been brought back to reality. He slowly stood and walked to the door back into the throne room.
"Send the letter. Do not speak to me like that again..." He left and returned to his cold throne where he sat once more to think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"My people are as brittle as the land they live on."

Severide emerged from the brothel with a lady at his arms. "Tonight my dear we will have a feast." He exclaimed in a drunkenly manner. Staggering down the streets to the steps of the palace door. "General. M'lord. Excuse my brash behavior and out right language. But i don't think its alright in time of crisis to be fooling around with the local harvest. if you catch my drift. Sir." Said the royal advisor Lawrence appearing from behind the pillar."I think you know i'm entitled for a pick of what i feel is ripe." He replied. Turning to the lady at his arm and looking her up and down. "Even if the current harvest isn't ripe." He added removing her from his arm and leaving her at the steps. Walking up to his advisor and patting him on the back. "You always did know which harvest was mine for the taking. And this one my friend isn't quite ripe yet." He smiled walking through the palace doors along side Lawrence. His drunkenly manner quickly wore off while in the presence of his most trusted friend."Anyway beside your bad taste in women it seems your plan worked. Their spies went running to there master with the new of invading. I still want to voice my opinion on how this will never work. Though i must say so far i have been wrong." He replied disappearing into the darkness. "You know i could have you executed for magic." He bellowed into the darkness. Whenever these two talked it was always in private to darkness where no one could drop in on there conversations. Lawrence smirked reappearing and letting the veil of darkness vanish."I think we should had to the Ash land. Their women are always more exotic. Beside i think is will be nice to see 'the beloved queen of the ash' Don't you?" He asked readying the horses and leaving a note on the palace door.

Lucian Dantes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucian found himself walking around the city nearest to his castle. The people were mostly indoors because of the cold but some opened their windows and watched in joy as he walked by others in fear because they knew he rarely left the castle other then for war or politics. He came full circle back to his Palace and he went inside. "General Sharp, I have considered your words, you are right, we do need the aid of the Ash Lands incase things go wrong. I will go, no need to send the letter. My kingdom is protected better then it has been in thousands of years, though war may loom I still have time, if we await a response we may already be in war. It is summer, though snow storms may come we are at our weakest time when it comes to the cold as defense. Believe me winter is coming, but it is not yet here. I will go to the Ash Lands and ask for the queens favor in this war. I leave you in charge, do not change spending habits or military actions only wait and make sure nothing happens. Have the wall prepare for my arrival. I will need a single guard to escort me. Make it Stark, he is loyal and well trained. " Sharp nodded and Lucian left the Palace. The Ashland was not a long ride for someone with his skills. Ice made everything faster for him.
Upon exiting the city Lucian took off. Snow and ice covered the ground and he owned this element. He was jogging at this point but with each step the ground pushed him forwards literally. He reached the wall within an hour not realizing the South may have prepared for his plan to head to the Ash lands. He still was blind to that fact as he had the Ice Knights open the gate that allowed entrance in and out of his empire. Then he continued forward on horseback with the knight named Stark. He only had with him his sword, an ax, a full coin purse, a raven and his pride, and Stark... but he wasn't much for conversation. Lucian had obtained the raven with the horse. The raven was to send messages faster then a courier could. So far it had been useful to his empire. He had a ways to travel and only one guard to travel with.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"My people are as brittle as the land they live on." (Well Lawrence needed someone to fight should they cross paths before getting to the Ashlands so I present to you Stark! a loyal and killable guard.)

Severide smiled and readied his armor. Nothing to fancy like the royal armor he was repair at one of the finest blacksmiths in the kingdom. Just some leather. The horses Lawrence prepared were among the best jousting horses the kingdom has ever laid eyes upon. The king added some personal touches to his horse infusing the genetic make-up of the horse with plant life giving it a distant colour of green, While Lawrence on the other had did no such thing leaving his horse black as night. Galloping through the cities walls Severide and Lawrence reached the the outer most compounds of the city within a few minutes. The jungle that infested the outer regions of his kingdom had a secret path forged with his magic allowing no one other then himself and his present company included to enter. He hopped off his horse standing in the foliage for a few seconds when his eyes shown a light green and the plants that were in there path receded into the earth. He hopped back on his horse and started to gallop away.
"We need to hurry. My magic wont last long. I've set the plant to sprout once someone comes close to that path. And knowing my guard schedule that wont happen for 5 minutes." He said gesturing to Lawrence to move.
Lawrence looked at Severide fro a brief moment before returning his gaze to the path. It was well past dark in this kingdom and Lawrence saw fit that it was time his 'talent' came into us. He whipped his horse and sped to the front. "I think my services are required for this length of the trip. At least until sunrise." He shouted back increasing his speed ever so slightly not to harm the horse. As day began to break Lawrence decreased his speed to match that of his kings.
"M'lord I sense something within that darkness. I fear that the enemy is closing in to the Ash lands as well. What shall I do?" He asked raising his voice just so the king could hear him.
"Hmmm, Go. Ride like the wind and find where they are and the track that they take. No doubt Lucian has at least one man with him. Be cautious and remember don't get caught. You know more of my secrets then any of my generals. Now go." He spat Lucian's name as it came into the sentence. Lawrence nodded and rode ahead.
Lawrence smiled. It was time to act. Finally use more magic then he ever had. He started to laugh. A devilish thought crossed his mind. "Nox verba loquor. Meam audi risus et custodiam meam invoca. Conceditur usus sum officio meo ut umbras. Invenies mea scopum." He words were ancient. Falling with the dark arts along with necromancy. His eyes grew black and shadow crows spawned in the darkness. "invenietis illos." He added as they started to fly in all different directions. One bird stayed close acting as a conduit.
(Translation1: I speak the words of the night. Hear my laughter and heed my call. I will be granted the use of the shadows to fulfill my duty. Find my target.)
(Translation2: Find them.)

Lucian Dantes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucian and Stark continued to ride on. They had reached Ash Land territory but were still far from the palace. Every time they reached a small village or town they would stop to give the horses a break. This land was so different in Lucian's mind. He was used to the bitter cold winds and snow. This hot air and dry land was not something he was used to. Luckily he could use his magic to keep his body cold enough for comfort. Lucian left Stark so he could take a walk. Everything seemed fine in the night until he saw a bird in the sky. It was a crow a very black crow.
"The Ash Lands do not have such birds... Severide..." Lucian turned and ran for the horses. He knew Severide had magic and likely had trusted friend with magic even if he didn't allow his people to use it. Once Lucian found the horses and Stark he took a deep breath. "Severide is searching for us we need to ride now!" Lucian let lose the order and Stark prepared the horses. They were on a path to the Ash land Castle in no time after that. But it was still night and they were likely to have ben spotted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"My people are as brittle as the land they live on."

The crow next to Lawrence squawked a flew ahead. Though the Ash lands were dry the darkness was splendid. Smiling a little Lawrence sped through the unwanted towns that littered the outskirts. Until finally catching a glimpse of Lucian. Lawrence whistled to get the attention of his former king. With no much luck, the horse sped past a weapon salesmen. He picked up the nearest spear the throw it at Lucian and his knight.
Severide had just reached a town in the Ash land when his horse gave out. "Good for nothing piece of crap. "He shouted kicking the horse and leaving to where it lay. He kicked opened the doors to a local tavern and entered as the patrons just stared. He walked up to the bar and looked the barkeep in the eyes. "Where is the nearest stable? I need the finest horse you have." He said picking up someones cup and drinking it all.
"I'm sorry i don't serve the likes of you." The barkeep replied.
A little pissed at the response he was given Severide grabbed the barkeeps neck and dug his nails into the guy neck. "You better give me an answer or you'll be dead within 30 seconds." He whispered into the guys ear. He then looked at the patrons each starting to stand one by one.
"okay, okay. I'll tell you. You can have my horse, He's out back. Just leave me be." He whimpered. Releasing his grip Severide smiled. He turned around and walked away. He noticed a grim looking horse out back. 'Oh you've got to be kidding me' he thoughts as he hopped on the horse and started to gallop away. The horse was much faster the Severide had given his credit for.
