[Chasing Daybreak]

"Go forth and bring me a treasure like no other. The Demon King will not be pleased should we return empty handed."

➤ Atreylla has a storied history as a haven for Demonkind, bordering the inhospitable mountainland beneath the ice belt Gotaalv. Given the extreme conditions (much like the depths of the shadowlands) it is one of the few places humanity has no control over. There resides crude demon fortresses and tribes, giant stone pillars and castles built into the mountains that blend into the haggard stone, unified under the reign of terrifying warlords and the Demon King.

➤ As an Atrellyan Demon, specifically of the wolf clan, you are a true borne manifestation of the occult from good stock: you have zero potential for human empathy or guilt. Your capacity for manipulation, ruthlessness, and excellence is high. You are a born killer; you have enjoyed both human and demon flesh many times in your year long travel to Meranthe. No 'cleansing' can impair your indomitable psyche. 

➤ Your objective is to retrieve magical objects of value, and knowledge. There is no deadline. You are expected to die here, or one day return to Atrellya to present your findings to the All-Powerful Demon King.  Your relationship with the leader of this mission is fear and respect, perhaps envy or hatred. You refer to them as Lord. 

➤ Your race is set to Demon, and you spawn in at Level 180. You gain the ability to take on a lesser humanoid form at Level 220. (This is not Imperfect: the Atrellyan variation of that is different. Find out IC.) You are expected to partake in mainly Cap 1+ battles unless the opposition desires otherwise; if you're slain you will drop an Atrellyan Pelt item. 

➤ Additionally, there is the alternative option to play a Moonfall Witch. This Coven has a long, guarded history as aides to Atrellyan Demons, and specialize in Demonology. You are expected to obscure your identity with a stylized mask. You spawn at Level 180 with Witchcraft. 

Apply here & you'll be contacted. Direct any questions to nullchance. Also this isn't an arc or anything, just something small on a whim!!!

Demonology Witchcraft
Specific to the Moonfall Coven. Demons cannot learn witchcraft.

Atrellyan Signet Ring: 10 Essence & 6 Viridium. Form a pact with a PC Demon. Grants them Essence Steal & Transfer Essence; grants a minor unique ring to the witch.

A Warlock wearing the Moonfallen Mask; their face obscured by crimson moonlight...

Responses have been sent out. (Will continue to check until late tomorrow)

A brief introductory meeting at 5PM EST; otherwise those within the faction are free to do as they please.

The first gathering of the newly founded Crescent Fortress occurs. The blood of the Demon Sage is spilt, and the Atrellyan Sabbath christens the land. But word would spread within the castle's denizens towards those who weren't present... 

A greater purpose. Something so problematic that it may even threaten the All-Powerful Demon King. 

"Treasure isn't why you are here. You were lied to."

"There was a revelation... that startled the Demon Sage of Tomorrow, the Witness to the Many Possibilities. It led us here.  In time, perhaps you will learn of this secret and what we face... for now, you will continue as you were..."

[Chasing Daybreak]

[ Atrellyan Demon Wolf and Moonfall Coven submissions are now closed. Any questions can be directed to nullchance. ]

[Chasing Daybreak]

During the heart of Fall, the Demons that stalk the outer perimeter of the Crescent Isle are no longer present, allowing passage to groups of travellers. A message is sent.

"Covens of Meranthe. Demons of the Eastlands. I have received your missives, heard your messengers.

And ignored you.

My wolves will continue to hunt and devour your people. You are on the menu. 

I shall extend an invite directly into the den should you truly wish to talk business. I will not guarantee your safety, however, and advise bringing worthy tribute must I waste my time..."

- Ilysander, the Demon Sage

( A GATHERING WITHIN THE CRESCENT FORTRESS )

( AN OPEN INVITE )

( 6PM EST - MONDAY )

[Chasing Daybreak]

[ I've been asked a few times so this is open again. Except you do NOT begin with any kind of level boost or starting advantage, it's just the race/role/background. Meranthe natives also have the potential to be initiated and join, as has been established IC, so the new character role is very much an optional thing. Thanks ]

[Chasing Daybreak]

On the connective beach north of the path to the Crescent Fortress, a row of bloody heads on pikes can be seen; it grows by the day, of travellers caught too far, and magi too bold for their own good. Among them, the Aegis warrior Kastus's face may be witnessed, one of many of recent victims following the Ascension of the Demon Wolf Ingolf.

...

[Chasing Daybreak]

A small announcement is made from the depths of the Crescent fortress. There, a new Supreme rises, and is granted access to knowledge once forbidden. 

"...In but a single moment, you accomplished what the Empire of Aegis spent a decade chasing. You took the life of the one they call the Servant, Azrael's Living Grimoire. And so, with the authority of the Abyssal King, I declare you a Supreme of the Moonfall Coven.

May you glean much from the deep lores of the archives, Mahatma."

The Warlock Mahatma is now a Supreme. Refer to him by his title, Lord Supreme, Atrellya.

A lone, terrible eve, the Night Creatures scattered upon Meranthe and let loose widespread disarray; small villages that lack proper defenses had to rely on those bold enough to take to the wilds to fend off the threat.  Some not so fortunate. The death toll is unaccounted for, but of the original Three Thousand Demons, only half remain. Great flocks of hundreds storm the skies and feast indiscriminately. Such events have not been seen since the Days of Ragnarok, that generations long passedt only witnessed; few remaining from those times.

Notable Heroes include Magnola whom slayed the Juggernaut; Seryn Kascha and Fantasy Kascha; the Warrior of Xuefeng Chuo; Bastet Mero and Maduin; the Guardian Hounskull. And more.

Infamous Night Creatures include the Echo of Loss, Callitidas, Mors, Fear and Miol, on par with this new  generation's finest. Facing these is ill advised unless you're prepared for it to be your last battle.

UNSOUL: The wisp of a Night Creature's Moment in Death. This magic stone has elevated potential when forged with an object that the person who slayed the Night Creature wields. (C-Grade Material; perhaps higher. Can be used via an Item App for the Soulbound Item Modifier in particular, make sure to include the log of the Night Creature's death. Encouraged to get creative)

One thing is for certain, this is far from over. The Battle is Just Beginning.


OOC- If you manage to survive the initial storm and reach Level 210+ as a Night Creature, please contact me as you have unlocked a [NEW PATH]. The details will be shared with you.
