Fantasy Setting Summer Dawn - Act 3: Toll of the Dragon Bell

My dear friends,

It has come to my attention that House Evereach is again plotting behind our backs. The scouting party that was sent into the night country of Cyndara to uncover war plans, was in fact a sacrificial lamb, to instill anger and stoke the flames of war on our own side. Suffice to say, I know Cyndara does not wish for war, but Evereach does, and if they are not stopped soon, they will have it.

Though we have thwarted Evereach in Brynson, we have uncovered a far more dastardly plan, being played out in the Dwarven fortress-city of Dwerstand. The Dragon Bell is said to wake a dragon sleeping under the city. A dragon so large and so powerful it will lay waste to Dwerstand if the bell is ever tolled. Now that Evereach is in possession of the bell, they are forcing Dwerstand to prepare troops to invade Cyndara. They must be stopped.

This is why I need your help. Send me your best, your brightest. I need fighters, tacticians, assassins, diplomats. I need people I can trust. We must recover the Dragon Bell and free Dwerstand of the dark threat Evereach has placed upon them.

Your faithful ally,


Gideon

In the fantastical world of Bryn, the sun and moon are stopped in the sky. One side of the world is bathed in brilliant sunlight, one side is steeped in eternal darkness. The two countries share only a single border, a land of twilight called the Half-Sun Hills. They are vastly different from one another: the people, the animals the plants…and what is different…is frightening.

Sumenna, the land of sun is ruled by three great houses, the most powerful being Evereach, a family of high elves that are as dark-hearted as they are ambitious. They strive to invade the peaceful Cyndara. The land of night is docile and calm, as are its people, with only a few exceptions. They are led by a wise, divine-chosen queen.

This thread began back in April 2018 and though it has come a long way, I’ve built a recruitment plan into the story itself. If you join here it will be like starting in a new thread. This is Act 3.
Our heroes from the first act are the members of the Sumennan scouting party that Evereach hoped would be killed in Cyndara, along with the Cyndarans who helped them. Our new members from the second act are, like you, friends of their new ally Gideon Huxley, a noble in Brynson with resources to help the move around Sumenna undetected. The next step in Evereach's plot has been revealed in the form of a dastardly threat to wake an ancient grand dragon using an artifact called the Dragon Bell. Unless the dwarves provide troops for Evereach's invasion of Cyndara, they will toll the bell and have the dwarven city of Dwerstand destroyed.

You can be Cyndaran or Sumennan, the lore should explain the differences, which are not so extreme that some of one country cannot pass for the other. You do however, need to have a reason for being there, and being in contact with Gideon. You could be employed, or a friend of someone Gideon knows. You do not have to be entirely trustworthy either, only have the appearance of someone who is.

You can find the main thread and all the links to the lore, characters and the OOC right here:
Setting Summer Dawn
Please read through the lore and the character guidelines at least before making your character.
If you want to know what has happened in the first act (you don't need to know this, everything relevant will be explained in the introductory post you will get), there is an updates section on the lore page.

Overall, the thread will be very active. I run regular character building games and exercises, which are all optional, but really fun. There is also a discord channel where we chat and come up with new ideas for the thread. Only accepted players get the link.

Reply here if you want to join or you have any questions! I will make sure you feel comfortable with all the lore and the story before your first post.

There are currently 2 slots open, which will be filled only when I accept those three characters, not when they are first posted so don't worry if there are more people in the interest check than there are slots open, I want only the most motivated to join.

This looks wonderful! I maaaay just put in a CS. :D Is there a minimum post requirement? I'm quite quick, but I'd always like to know if I can meet it easily!

It's minimum once a week, but we normally put out two every week each. Everything you need to know is in the lore and character pages

Thank you! I've been checking them just now, looks very nice! Once a week is very very easily manageable for me, two as well!
 
I am very interested in the duality of the world and lore, plus politics are always fun. Reminds me of GOT.
 
Very nicely layed out plot! Rich in lore and characters. I’ll be sure to get going on a character when I have the perfect one in mind.

I suppose it is a bit like GOT, and possibly a lot of other fantasy stories, but I do have a few twists up my sleeve XD. We'd love to have you apply.
 
No wonder you're so nice lol you got the Canadian running through you're veins. Cool, well I'm EST just so you know.
Hi! I'm currently in the RP. I'm CST, and several others are similar, so don't worry about being lonely!

omg XD Yes, most of the team are Eastern or Central, we post a couple times a week so there is room for the timezone differences
 
I'd be interested! Sounds like a detailed lore and world. Do you allow multiple (2) characters, and is there such things as lesser houses that are not part of the main eight? Asking because, coincidentally I have two OCs that might fit with some editing.
