From the Ashes: The Fight for Utopia

Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Light, Dark, and Void. These dimensions move and create overlap (so where fire and air overlap you might have lightning space for example). As they overlap the beings of each one come into contact and are able to take advantage of both elements. Since they are usually separate each dimension has it’s own culture but they all share the same legend of all the dimensions coming together to create a utopia.

Eventually, the dimensions came together but the utopia was never to be as the kings of each dimension warred for control of this new area. The gods appeared to hold favor in this war and ultimately the void king won. Immediately after victory, he demanded spirit tethers to be built to hold all the dimensions together, making his reign eternal. Riots continued for decades but eventually those who objected his rule were slain and the children were obedient, as they were taken from their homes before knowing another way of life.

Not all the gods however were in favor of this new world order, as it went against the prophecies they had given many years ago. The tethers were not perfect and were slowly being stretched and weakened by the gods, leading to the dimensions partially separating. Now as people are once more living in their own dimensions the old way of life is being restored. Parents feared their children being taken from them as so many had already so they were raised in secret. Now with these children becoming adults the time for a mortal and divine revolution is on the horizon.

Locations (Some general, some not. List may not be complete):

Tethers:
One in each dimmension, these hold the dimmensions together and uphold the Void King's rule. Hence, they are usually protected heavily by armed forces if they are found.

Abyss
Located in: Rumors.
The Void King's fortress. Little is known about this location. Rumored to be at the spot where the tehers are tied and binded together, also a place of strong spiritual energies which is possibly used to further the Void King's influence.

Mage Cicles
Located in: All dimmensions.
Identified by being bordered with lines, usually formed by long-time preassure made from magic. These grounds usually have a power of there own, some tales even speak of people being spirited away to other places with Mage Circles here, others speaking of gaining wisdom from the dead and fallen. The energy of these places are such that some have gone mad with there bodies trying to proccess the natural and mage energies mixed.

Volcanic Forges
Located in: Earth and Fire.
Deep within volcanoes, giants were a species with natural survival abilities so when breeded properly they could survive the heat within the volcanoes. Here weapons are forged, for all uses and people. The enterances to these volcanoes are usually guarded by the Giant's employers, but the Giant's themselves are syphathetic to some causes and will sometimes give out weapons.

Atlantis
Located in: Water.
Lost in lore, the technology was owned by a race that made one fatal miscalculation. While it seems the race is dead, the technology certainly is not. Rumors of the hideos deaths of the people and there causes have kept most would be tresspassers at bay.

Shadowlands
Located in: Dreams.
A place where the dead and living seem to float to in dreams. Some do it of there own will, some are summoned, and some just arrive with no reason other then dreaming. Said to be the unused space the dimmensions do not take up.

Middle Earth
Located in: Earth
A underground fortress, said to be upheld by the corpses of dead giants and the bones of the worker Gnomes that slaved over the passeg ways. Kept a secret for the most part, a place of refuge for those seeking freedom.

Sky Temple
Located in: Air.
The location is high up and therefore hard to invade and visit. Seemingly free, the place has suffered little in the riots and deaths. They may be forced to get more involved, though as the Void King's influence grows.

Castle of Dreams
Located in: Light
Sayed to be built upon the foundation of all good dreams, hopes, and causes, it seemes to grow dimmer with the death of every good person. The Void King has tried to invade it before, and failed. It is possibly weaker now, though...

Spiral of Stars
Located in: Darkness.
Seeming to spiral into the ground, the darkness is seperated only by flashes of energy, and lost souls wondering forever to the bottom. Few who have gone have returned, none making it to the bottom.

Inferno
Located in: Fire.
A seemingly endless pit of fire, rumored to be accessible by a Volcanic Forge. The stepping stones are littered with the long dried heated bones of the dead and some are painted red in similer dried blood.

Broken Road
Located in: Void.
A maze of debris, the debris seems to be pointing somewhere, as if wanting a traveler to travel it. It goes in all directions, and is hard to follow. True to the Void's name, a Void hangs under the debris. The debris itself seems to be suspended in air by a force. Few have done so and answered its call, and those that have has there bodies added to the debris.

Notes:
All dimmensions have cities and such, all special on the element they ahve though. For example, the Fire dimmension specializes in fire.

Some people have banded together from diffrent dimmensions for there own causes.

Be creative.

OOC: All: accepted. Thanks for joining to all.

BIC: The Void King walked solitarely through the halls of his fortress. It was protected, but he always fealt in danger. Why should he? He had the power. His own men hated him, though. The reason they hated him was the reason they served him: fear and power.

He had united the dimmensions through fear, and now ruled them through that fear. All the ones that had died for a "noble" cause trying to bring the world together... He had done it and all he had done was taken what those people had given: power.

The Void was endless, and would never stop expanding. He would not allow it to consume him though. He would consume the void.

A long time ago he had made room for it in the space where his heart was supposed to be, the king no longer fealt sadness when groups of people burned alive at his command. Those screams had went down the void in his heart, echoing. Eventually it had become a song to him, and it made him happy to know that so many people sang along to it.

 

Skylight walked around the Sky Temple. It was grand and full of wonderful patterns on the walls, yet it was crumbling. Just slightly. It seemed like the temple wanted to stay up for Skylight, to give her a home. Un furling her wings, she flew up through one of the holes in the roof and looked around. Fluffly white clouds were everywhere but you could still see the far off ground.

 

A pair of footsteps echoed behind the void king accompanied by the groaning of metal against stone. A chuckle no louder than a whisper mingled and became brother to the other sounds of movement. They all belong to a creature more beast than man, one of a dimension fathered by the void king himself.

The monster was ove the void king's own flesh and blood, a man that craved the screams of the oppressed, the tears of the torture and worshipped the beauty that is spilt blood that he had its very color imbued into his skin.

 

ooc: I guy I used to talk to did that. It was awesome.

 

OOC: Daxma, you are accepted. Thanks for joining. Suggestion is also accepted. Do you/anyone else have any music they believe would go with this roleplay?

BIC:The Void King inhaled deeply and relaxed on a throne. On the wall were seven mirrors, each displaying a mage circle. Flashes were going off in each dimmension at the Mage Circles, one by one.

Twelve High Mages guarded his Mage Circles, and a group of soldiers walked silently out. They walked to fulfill his rule, even if death was the cost. What higher proce was there then disobeying the only true authority?

Without him, these dimmensions would go to chaos. In order to save them, he must destroy there wills and break them. Remodel them. They were foolish, why else had they not been trying to defeat him and ven come close? Were they that weak? If so, they deserved this.

 

Skylight flew back in. She headed around the temple, looking at the masonry designs on the walls and floors. Looking through one hole in the wall, she saw something she had never noitced before. There was a ring, surrounded by stones on the floor. A mage stood guard there. Skylight smiled. And here I thought that I was the only person here.

 

Sorrow made her way to the top of the Spiral of Stars, using the shadows to help her along.

 

OOC: Thanks.

The soldiers formed into an orderly line and began to march, making an easy target for a prepared foe.

In the distance chanting could be heard and a final flash as the last soldiers were summoned.

A group of soldiers and townspeople came upon the wreckage, not seeing Raven, and with disgust the leader among the soldiers muttered, "Another rebel. Go home, folks. Nothing to see here. We'll just have to rasie the taxes again, to pay for the damages of your "saviors."

OOC: Soldiers/townspeople can be controled by anyone.

 

Sorrow begins to head towards the chanting but hides in the shadows so she is not seen.

 

A soldier that had just came out of the castle sighed."Should we feel sorry for them... or us once the King gets ahold of us? Who'll be the one to tell him?"

On the inside of the castle was a mirror. It resembled the one the Void King had used to observe his Mage Circles.

The chanting was soon accompined by stranger aromas, and a creature resembeling a hound was summoned. It was the average size of a man, and blind. The creature began to sniff the air, but could not locate anything due to the range.

 

SkyLight pulled herself through the hole in the wall and flew down to the person. Hiding in the shadows, she watched the mage with interest.

 

The Mage aburptley stopped, as if he detected something. The other mages pretended not to notice this. Any foolishness would be dealt with by the Void King himself. That was worse then any punishment they could give.

 

SkyLight blinked. The mage didn't have wings. If that mage doesn't have wings, then how does that person get around...? Walk...? She thought to herself. Flying up to a different persition, she peered at the mage's back. Or maybe, they keep their wings tucked inside?

 

As if in an attempt to make SkyLight more confused, the twelve High Mages began to rise into the air. The air began to shimmer with heat, and the Mage Circle below began to glow. All twelve of the mages seemed to loose control of themselves, and their bodies slacked but remained in the air.

It could now be seen that something other then mages and soldiers had arrived at the Mage Circle. Could it of been... a human experiment? Could it even be considered human anymore?
