Hiii welcome, nice to see Sierra get more love!
I FEEL THE SAME WAY. I CAME WITH THE VOIDS WHISPER. THIS IS MORE THAN FATE, OUR PURPOSE HERE IS INCOMPREHENDABLE AND SPIRALING, YET WE SHALL WORK INADVERTATEDLY TO EXACT ITS WILL.
HarmoniaLong ago, millions of years before any civilizations arose, the gods walked the barren face of Harmonia. The world was empty; there were no beasts, creeping things, mountains, skies, nor oceans. Harmonia was nothing but a dreary mold of earth.
“Let each of you bless the earth with a creation.” The creator of the earth said, and so they did.
The first gifts were the pure elements in their rawest forms: earth, fire, water, air, light, and darkness. From then, the gods and their children mixed and molded the first gifts to create more- the skies and the stars, the mountains and plains, the oceans and the rivers. Nature existed.
Alas, no matter how beautiful Harmonia has become, the divines were unsatisfied for there was nothing to appreciate their works.
“Let each of us bless the earth with a creation; living ones, just like us, to feel, hear, smell, and see our works.” The creator of the earth said, and so they did.
Then, there was life, and life flourished upon the earth. Men, beasts, and every living thing in between; all of them coexisted in harmony. They all appreciated the divine gifts, for it was what they were made for.
But even so, the gods remained unsatisfied. The lives they have created were false, for what difference did they have from the mountains who’d heed the gods not of their own accord.
“Let each of us bless chosen living things with will and knowledge, so that they may truly be more like us.” The god of chaos said, and so they did.
And the divines dwelt with their creations, teaching them all sorts of knowledge and bestowing them the ability to tap into their divine essences, so that they may be above the first gifts and have command over them. Thus, marked the birth of magic.
Finally, the gods were satisfied.
But the Chosens were not.
With power came greed, and the Chosens waged war against one another. The ones created for appreciation became agents of destruction, tarnishing the beautiful harmony that the divines had created.
Saddened by their failure, the gods left the earth, their corporeal forms diminishing into invisible particles that continue to power Harmonia until today.
Chaos continued plaguing the land of Harmonia even long after the gods’ disappearance. The Chosens relentlessly fought among themselves.
A massive congregation of land called Elysium was the heart of such evil. It’s said to be the place where magic is most potent, as though it was the last cradle of the gods before they abandoned the mortal realm. Like moths drawn into fire, mages gathered in the continent and painted everything in red. All manners of creatures were affected by this unceasing tumult, its extent costing the extinction of millions.
Tired of the endless ruination, a Chosen by the name of Alexandra Sierra decided to abandon all magic. She believed that magic is a tool of evil, and the complete abandonment thereof is the only way to achieve peace. Alexandra’s ideology attracted plenty of other Chosens, marking the birth of the country of Sierra.
Alas, the path they have chosen comes with great consequences. Mages dominated the land, and the forebears of Sierra were helpless against them without magic. Thus, they sought the Arconians, peaceful beings that appear to be a cross between men and beasts. Much like the other Chosens, Arconians were practitioners of magic; however, they possessed greater knowledge about the secrets of the lands.
It is believed that Egnarions, the beasts of Harmonia, heeded the call of Arconians. As beings with similar mana prints, they possess an innate way to communicate with one another.
The Arconians used this connection to help the early Sierrans, sharing the same disdain towards mages who abuse magic while supporting Alexandra’s advocacy for peace. The wise beings led the Sierrans to Cornelius, an assembly of floating Egnarions.
Sierrans founded their homes and cities onto Cornelius, up in the sky and away from the rest of the Chosens. There, the Arconians and Sierrans coexisted together for generations, cultivating knowledge and transforming Cornelius into a prosperous civilization with the discovery and development of technology.
Sadly, this peace only lasted for a couple of generations after Alexandra’s death. The Arconinans never abandoned their practice of magic, and Sierrans grew to tolerate this less and less. Anwir Sierra, a direct descendant of Alexandra, forced the Arconians to choose between abandoning magic or the absolute eviction of their kind from Cornelius.
The Arconians refused to be swayed by the threat; magic has long been a part of their way of life. Great conflict arose, and the two sides waged war with one another.
Outnumbered and outsourced, the Arconians were defeated. What few survived were tossed out of Cornelius, back to the vicious land below. Unwelcomed everywhere, the Arconians gradually vanished from existence.
Meanwhile, the Sierrans remained isolated atop Cornelius for about half a millennium until their eventual descent. Their technological advancement took the mages by surprise, halving their dominion over Elysium in due course.
The Eight Houses, who were then the most prominent factions of mages, were forced to unite under a single banner- Orh. The congregation was led by the person believed to be the most powerful mage of all time- Alreus of House Shantor.
Thus, the war between magic and machine began, plummeting the land to a never before seen mayhem. It seemed as though fate had dictated; Elysium will never exist without chaos. Therefore, it must be broken.
2000 years ago, the Great Rupture occurred. The earth shook with unimaginable intensity, and massive waves crashed upon the land as though they were the hands of justice. Elysium broke, separating into three mainlands that drifted far from one another overnight.
Orh. The kingdom of mages.
Sierra. The nation of technology.
Thyrea. No Man’s Land.
Info DumpHello! Glad you stayed and read all that thing that came out of my brain. I hope you enjoyed it!! Welcome to Harmonia's Interest Check. Yaaay!!!
Harmonia is actually an rp that was made by my cousins and me back in 2014, but of course, we were still baby rpers then and now it's only me that stuck through with it.But it's okay! I met a lot of people in RPN that inspired my writing to what it is today and it's certainly better than it was 8 years ago ahaha... Anyway, here before you is an rp that has been revised over the past years. A lot of changes have been made since we first started it, and have undergone the most changes since the last time I ran it. I have a complete lore of the world that is already posted with this Interest check, there are a set of rules below this so check it out later, it's important after all.
If you are gonna ask me about the inspiration for the rp it's a mishmash of everything we could think of under the base concept of war between two countries/kingdoms in a magic vs. tech kind of thing going on. Harmonia is both political and an adventure rp. I need people running both Orh and Sierra, and others are free to explore the World of Harmonia but of course, there is an overarching plotline while you all do your thing. Bring forth the drama, the suspense, and the WAR, let's make a good roleplay out of this, yeah?
Additionally, don't be afraid to talk to me I am usually a cinnamon bun. AANNNDD I will be away for the weekend, tho I'll try to be online! I have co-gms, @AI10100 and @. D O V E

→ No posting order is needed but if you all want you can have one for your respective group, but be sure to wait for two posts or three before responding again if you are interacting with more than two PCs. If you're interacting with Our (Me and Co-GMs) NPCs be sure to wait for us!→ Also!

But nice for you to say it tho :3
A pleasure to have you in the RP
Colorless Spectrum
I'm not sure what you mean by "quite the impact" but feel free to DM me your idea here in Rpn! Do note that it's really late for me and it might take a few hours before I could respond back because timezones
I have become very interested in joining this roleplay, and have a character in mind. I will probably need to have it run by you or your GMs first, as what I had in mind would have quite the impact in the story world.
That was a thing yes... But I don't remember you.
Did you go by a different name before?
Gotcha Ari, dear
I don’t remember what I was using back thenThat was a thing yes... But I don't remember you.
You were Grand General in 2019, if that narrows things down.
Oop, what year was it tho, and what character were you using. I might remember
