Welcome to Wuurcya! This is a world of magic, wonder, and warfare. Many sorts of magical creatures dwell here.
Here's the lowdown: there is a war between these two groups: The empire, ruled by the Dark Queen, and the rebel group The People's Front of Wuurcya. The rebel group sees injustices in the dictatorship of the Empire. It's kind of Star Wars-y but not in space, not with futuristic technology, the rebels aren't a bunch of fools, and there are no aliens. Destroying the empire is no easy feat. They have a massive army, huge navy, and a large air force of dragons. The rebels have befriended the Gryphons of the West; have an army of increasing size, and a few ships.
Creatures of the world are:
Kender-happy hobbit like creatures, things seem to find themselves in their pockets, but by no means are they thieves
Dwarfs-duh
Elves- the tall LOTR kind, not like the Keebler elves, or Santa's elves
Humans-duh
Wizards-that includes females, draw their power from either the sun, moon, or gods
Goblins-minions of the dark queen, nasty little things
Hobgoblins-marauding thieves that travel around and attack at random
Dragons-Good and bad, silver blue and white are good, red green and black are bad
Wyverns-camouflage to their environment
Gryphons-all good, can be tainted
RULES!!!
1. No Godmoding!!!!! I can't stand it. If you want your character to perform some amazing feat, PM either Atlantace or me to see if we'll allow it
2. No killing other characters unless you have their consent, it's rude to just say they're dead
3. All posts must be at least 2 paragraphs long. We don't want a bunch of "he walked into the hallway and waited" it leads to the death of a site
4. If nobody has posted, DO NOT make a post saying "somebody post". It's dumb and it will be erased
5. Make yourself as active as possible, but if you cannot be on, we understand
That's about all for rules, PM Atlantace or myself if you have any questions.
Read Below for a better description of the action in the world...
What can you lose?
The empire has gotten out of hand. There are bans and taxes that are unreasonable, and in the city, life is unbearable. Nothing that could possibly be useful to the public is allowed to be sold by conventional people. If a merchant enters the city, his/her goods are immediately confiscated and given to the dark queen. Who this is exactly no one knows, as she doesn't even show herself to her most loyal of followers.
There are occasional grumbles, but they are, more often than not, snuffed out, brushed aside like a layer of dust.
But some of those grumbles have become words. Little words, but words all the same. These little words have joined up to form bigger words, and even sentences.
That’s right, A rebellion.
Well, not really, more of a liberation group.
The Peoples Front of Wuurcya to be exact. But they aren't a secret, as they have been gathering followers, followers whom all feel the effects of the dark queen, unable to do anything about it but sit back and fret. Because it is said that the queen hasn't stepped down from the throne, not for three... hundred... years. Which means that there isn't something natural about her. Maybe this is why no one knows about her?
More pressing matters are keeping the fighting under control. Especially since the Peoples Front of Wuurcya also has something strange at its head. Their leader, whom appears to be a normal being, has been around, leading the front, for two hundred years...
What is really going on? The average life expectancy, outside the city, is only one hundred years, whereas inside it is only seventy-five.
That makes you think... what really happens? Well, outsider, no one really knows for themselves, not a soul.
Not even me.
I am not the leader of the... Movement
Nor am I the leader of the Empire.
I am the one who stands on the Shadows, training the young warriors from both sides.
I haven't taken a side, not even when the whole problem began. But time has its effects. The dark queen is powerful, but that power comes from her followers' fear.
And she knows that someday; someday something will rise up against her, something she cannot defeat.
But will that happen?
That is for you to decide...
Come, weary traveler, rest your feet and soul in the lands of Wuurcya.
Rest, and prepare.
For once the tide gets moving, Nothing can stand in the way of the fury of a flood.
Nothing.
Sincerely,
|

There are separate human groupings of course, and then there's the matter of enemies. I have a few things in mind, but I need help creating them...
Group: The Dragoons
Description: These men are almost legendary, a force to be reckoned with. There are only a few, as most dragons don’t want anything to do with humans, save the dragons that have been tricked into servitude by the empress. The dragoons themselves have no equal in combat, where they wield long lances crafted of the finest materials. It takes a ton of training to get into the Dragoons, Not to mention the amount of money you will need to acquire the equipment needed. These men, all have two alliances; to themselves, and to their leader. Their leader commands total discipline and respect, as he keeps his men in strict order. Unfortunately, some of the cocky ones can be corrupted into service by the dark queen... only to get thrown out of their rank as a member of the Dragoons.
Main enemies: The Empress, anyone who picks a fight with them.
Hideout: The main stronghold is in Deathsky Mountain, but not even the dwarves would be able to tunnel into it, as their seldom used hideout is surrounded by lava and open to the air in one place, the cone of the volcano.
Leader: "The Fiery Lance" (Atlantace)
Group: Seafarers Unanimous
Description: Don't let the name fool you, these men are all pirates. They are the dogs of the sea, raiding any ship that they feel like. Because of the size and maneuverability of their ships, they can easily out-perform any other ship on the ocean. Their main targets during raids are merchant ships, especially if the ships are containing Imperial goods. Thus, their main enemy is the fighting forces of the empire. Occasionally, they will go on adventures, venturing into the lands of the dragons and dragoons, along with those of the gryphons. Their hideout is somewhere in the Timeless Ocean, and there is a large secret stronghold on The Lost Isle.
Main Enemies: Empress, Dragoons
Hideout: The Lost Isle
Leader: "The Feathered Fool." (Zeroun)
Group: Gryphon Legionaries
Description: Not much is known at the moment.
Main Enemies: Empress, Wyverns
Hideout:None yet. They are still wandering.
Leader: "The Masked Marauder" (Arikos)
Group: The Wayward Wyverns
Description: (Nothing is known about this group, as it currently has no standings...)
Main Enemies: Gryphons, Dragoons, Seafarers, PFW
Hideout:
Leader: "The Winged Scourge" (Gouretieo)

So, you want to dance with death? Well, Im the first step in that path of misery, so prepare to die.
