INTRODUCTION TO AVALI AND EBHORAN
The year 1320 BGW (Before the Great War) Rhy’din, home of a plethora of locations and always at the precipice of war. The war came to Rhy'din swiftly and without warning. It was the war to end all wars. It was the war that everyone in the multiverse was worried about for years, and it finally happened. A coalition from another time and space declared war against all of Rhy'din, which everyone was calling The Great War. The outer dimensional military force was known as the Alliance Of Legions which was successful in destroying what was once known as the most powerful dimension known to all the multiverse. Rhy'din was torn asunder and all the realms, continents, islands, and oceans were split into their own plane of existence.
Avali was a massive chunk that broke off from the world of Rhy’din. It was caused by the magical explosions from the arch mages. Most regions that are familiar to the denizens of Rhy’din such as Kavanagh, Golden Horn, The StormLands, and many others were all split from the world of Rhy’din and lost to existence. The chunk known as Avali drifted from the planet of Rhy’din into space and eventually a large blue star called Epsilonioa pulled the chunk into orbit. Slowly over time meteors and other space debris would strike the chunk making it larger and larger until it became larger than the size of Rhy’din itself. The planet was all but dead until an unknown factor brought forth something entirely unexpected.
There was a stowaway that was hidden on that chunk, it was an Yggdrasil seed. That seed thriving on only magic started to drain the magic that was brought with the massive chunk and started to give life. There was a time nexus created and the places outside the planet's orbit didn’t have any effect, but during the time that Yggdrasil was growing and draining magic from the newly formed planet time sped to 100x the norm. Ozone, fauna, flora, the oceans, and life as we know it now grew on the planet at an exponential rate. The world had all but formed within months which would normally take a millenia to do.
The planet eventually grew intelligent life which would rise and fall all in what would take thousands of years into a few measly months. Races, some with supernatural gifts, others just like your standard humans, they all come together to create the world of Avali. There is one KNOWN continent on the planet, an archipelago that seemed to have thrived and created civilized regions. The Continent is known as Ebhoran now, but once had no name.
Ebhoran is a major continent with its own regions and established tribes and a city. It was formed thanks to the great magic of the Yggdrasil tree that grew on the Eastern part of the continent. Some worship the tree as the god of Avali, and others have their own belief. The only known city on the planet that has society and a solid government is named Avalon. Avalon was at one time a full Monarchy system ruled by the vampires with a god-king on the throne, but that government was overthrown by the richest members of Avalon society and they reestablished the city as a Plutocracy once the vampires were killed, or they went into hibernation. The city seems to be the center of all of Ebhoran.
Map of the Continent
The continent that this server will be mostly played on is a part of a new planet named Avali, many elements from World of Darkness and Dungeons and Dragons are used as references and help shape this server. The map you see below is the continent of Ebhoran pronounced (Eh - Bor - In) and will be home for everyone on the server. Are you going to make it a home for yourself as well?
There are 3 options which your character can become a part of the server
1. You can be a native to Avali
2. You can be a survivor from Rhy'din
3. You can be sucked here from a time rift.
As a Native of Avali
If you choose to be a native. There are a few options for where you are from. A lot of Ebhoran hasn't been explored yet which is what a lot of the server is for. World building. You can choose the Obraxus Region or The Avalonia Region, though the regions will expand in the future. You're freshly ready to be out on your own. You have a total of 10 opal and the clothes on your back. You will also have a simple weapon to defend yourself.
As a Survivor of Rhy'din through the Nexus
You can play a survivor of Rhy'din, sucked into a time Nexus when the great divide tore Rhy'din apart, but all what you knew is gone. You have memory fog from the time lapse, you remember nothing from Rhy'din. The only thing you keep is the clothing on your character.
(Through the nexus, your character has only aged 6 months from Rhy'din. Your story and experiences may differ from everyone else, because of the way people bounce characters around, but you still have only aged 6 months.)
From a time Rift
You can come from any time, any world, any realm, but, when the time rift takes you, you lost everything. Your memory, your wealth, your gear, and you come to the realm naked and afraid. (Pun intended). All members that choose to come through this route to introduce their character are required to start in the room the Rift of Arrival, and you start literally with nothing.
