Some will say its less important, that giving back to those who believe in them is more important, but that is another form of it no? Power is how one survives in this world; fate is no kinder to the Other then it is to mortals, believe what you will. <br><br>But the Divine dislikes our power squabbles, disapproves of the seething disorder that the Other has become. <br><br>There are many kingdoms, each with their own ruler, hereditary or won; but a kingdom does not make a true Court. The Courts have been the real power; and the kingdoms pledge themselves to the Courts. I'm sure you've heard of them. <br><br>The Shinning Court, think of angels, of the Seelie, of beautiful fantasy so sweet and nice it makes your teeth hurt. Everything is enchanted and wonderful; if you believe it of course. <br><br>The Dark Court, and here we have demons, the glittering darkness, the Unseelie, as beautiful as the Seelie but darker, horrible in its beauty, crueler. Trail too deep and you will never get out. <br><br>The Blood Court, goblins are the most known of these creatures, though there is far more, all those creatures you think of that desire the blood of mortals lives. <br><br>The Wild Court, the stuff of nightmares, of shadows, this is things that hold both beauty and horror, that linger just unseen and torment the mind. This Court also holds the Host, the Wild Hunt if you know it, it is the one that judges. <br><br>Each had their purpose before; they still do, though there were more courts once they have drifted off but these still have power, still have mortal's believe in them. And with the scattered kingdom's holding to different Courts fighting, murder and politics have claimed much of our years. Chastened by World War II the Other has retreated more into the Pure, but that means mortal years are a hundred years within the Pure, that decades have passed and still we fight. <br><br>That is over; according to the oracles, to the dreams all the Other has had. Now we will have to bow to a high ruler, give away before a power that will over see us. Realms are to be established, seven to support the High One. There are of course grumbles; discontent, those who rule the Courts now have no desire to forefit their power. The Kingdoms are mixed, some hopeful, some wary, some hostile. <br><br><br>Still, three have been chosen, those who could be the High One; it is in their hands now to chose their Realm Guardian's wisely, to listen and bind allies, to gain support. The Land of America has been proclaimed the stage for this, all three chosen of mixed blood and grown in the 'New World', no older then two hundred years our fate rests with them now. <br><br>Aren't they lucky?<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 12pt;" class="bbc_size">For More Information</span><br><br><strong>Wiki</strong><br>General Wiki - Link (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:Dark_of_Dreaming)<br>History (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:DD_History) • Realmes (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:DD_Realms) • Factions (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:DD_Factions) • Profiles (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:DD_Profiles)<br><br><strong>Forum</strong><br><br><em>Out of Character Threads</em><br><br>OOC - you are here • Profiles (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=106609.0)<br><br><em>In Character Threads</em><br><br>Negotiations (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=64853.0) Cernunnos and Dawn.<br>Confessions (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=107425.0) Dawn and Roarke. <br>Homecomings (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=112663.0) Group.<br><br><strong>Sig Icon</strong><br><br>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9c/Dreaming.PNG)<br><br><div class="codeheader">Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);" class="codeoperation">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[url=http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=99216.0][img]http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/9c/Dreaming.PNG[/img][/url]</code></pre><br></div>

				Very true. But would it be best to put it in this thread or in a character profile thread?<br><br><br>Also, as a note. Something I would really like to carry over from the 'Merry-verse' is that the fey are fading, they are a faint shadow of what they once where and through Dawn they have a chance of getting what they were back, unlocking that magic.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Cerridwyn<br><br>&nbsp;<strong>Alternate Name(s):</strong> Dawn, the name she grew up with<br><br><strong>Title:</strong>&nbsp; Princess Cerridwyn NicAp Mathonwy <br><br><strong> Physical Description</strong><br><em>Hair Color:</em> The color of newborn stars, a brilliant silver gold<br><em>Eye Color</em>: Tricolor eyes, the outer edge the dark midnight blue, then the soft hazy silver of the glow around the full moon, and last, most inner, the color of the center of stars, pure, light, white silver.<br><em>Skin Color</em>: Pale, pale gold<br><em>Glow Color: </em> The color of stars at their center, a bright, blinding silver gold<br><em> Age:</em> 29<br><em> Height:</em> 5"9<br><em>Ancestry:</em> Born of the King and Queen of the Seelie court<br><em> Marks of Power:</em> None as of yet<br><strong> Hand(s) of Power, if known:</strong> <br>1. Tidal Pull - As Cerridwen she has powers tied to the moon and the weather. She can call on powers from celestial bodies, alter seasons and summon storms at times. <br>2. Regeneration of Life - Descendant from fertility lines and powers she has the ability to use her magic to heal, though her powers are boosted and often strongest during intercourse. She is not limited to just healing other 'living' beings, but can heal the earth, and plants, often it happens without her meaning it to.<br><strong>Additional Power(s), if known</strong>: Prophetic powers (tied in with Cerridwen being the Goddess of Dark Prophecy), a sixth sense she has always had. Shape shifting, mostly into a Swan, but other birds as well, thanks to the powers of Caer. Along with her Tidal hand of power she also has a knack for 'seeing' things in the stars, able to read them without training, though this could fall under prophetic powers, which, are stronger at night accordingly. <br><strong>Court:</strong> Seelie<br><strong> Godhead, if known: </strong>Cerridwen, Moon Goddess, Great Mother, Grain Goddess, Goddess of Nature<br><strong> Place in Story: </strong>Seelie Princess<br><strong> Special Stuff: </strong><br><em>Historical</em>The white-corpse eating sow representing the moon. Welsh bards called themselves Cerddorion (sons of Cerridwen.) Had a magic cauldron of inspiration, the potion she made was called 'greal' from which the word Grail probably came from. She was also suppose to have brewed and given wisdom. <br><em>Rebirth</em>Though her godhead is that of Cerridwen, a moon goddess and the creator and holder of the Grail she is the soul of Caer Ibormeith, the swan maiden who married the son of the Dagda. It is not widely known, outside of the dreams she herself has of a man she does not know but loves, who comes to her every night and her choice of the swan as her crest. <br><em>Items</em> None as of now.<br><br><br><strong>History within the last thirty years</strong> <br><br>Cerridwyn was named for the Goddess who had once held the powers she one day would, according to her prophetic aunt. The first Cerridwen had chosen to fade and become a ghost of herself after her lovers death and ended up dying herself. Yet it was said that the tiny child would one day hold the same powers. She was born to the King of the Seelie Court, Gilfaethwy, to a Seelie Princess who's name she never learned. The name of the once Queen is now a guarded secret, none who know will speak of it and the girl herself never met her.<br><br>For with her birth, the same aunt who told of the powers she would one day wield also told her mother in confidence that her father would be the greatest threat to her child. So Cerridwyn was given to a mortal, a woman that the Queen felt close to and trusted. It was with Angela Baker and her husband Thomas that 'Dawn' grew up. She was a sweet child, pretty always, her pale blond hair a color that no dye seemed to ever match, and a mass of curls at that. Her eyes were a misty, faint gray and her skin never tanned. Much to Dawn's annoyance her hair would never take color and grew long and fast. She loved her mother though and her father, their simple life in Maine. She had a normal, mortal girls life, perhaps a touch charmed at times, with being so easily admired, so beautiful without every trying to. But that made her realize that she disliked people who liked her only for her looks. Dawn grew up with a firm moral cord, though Christianity never appealed to her. The girl loved to learn and excelled in her classes, yet from the age of sixteen on she had the same dream, night after night. Of a man, who's face she did not know and could not fully see, coming to her, talking to her, comforting her. He was her touchstone in a way and she never truly got involved with anyone else. <br><br>High school passed for her and she was accepted to every school she applied to, deciding to attend Columbia University in New York and getting her degrees in Political Journalism and History. Dawn moved to D.C., working at the nation's capital and making a name for herself. She became well known, success coming easily and early, a celebrated journalist in politics and world news at the age of twenty seven. Yet she was not happy, she still had not found the man in her dreams, the male who would whisper to her every night and the swans that flew when the dawn came and she woke. It made no sense to her mortal mind. Then strange things began to happen, someone was researching her, looking into her life and her parents. When she was approached about reporting on the sidhe she was curious but refused, something told her that going to the sithern's in St. Louis would change her life forever. The job offer kept on being placed on the table again and again, the Seelie Court wanted her to work for them. She went home for the fourth of July, to visit her parents. And then the fire happened, her mother died mysteriously and her father vanished. Her life was left in ruins when King Gilfaethwy suddenly appeared and informed her that she was his daughter. And the heir to the Seelie throne.<br><br>Dawn, now knowing her full name of Cerridwyn, refused to go to the Court at first, but a King's will is not an easy thing to fight and so she was taken, thrust into the courts at the age of twenty eight and with only the media's understanding of them. She became withdrawn, careful and talked to almost no one. Loathing her father and knowing, somehow that he was responsible for both of her mother's deaths.

				~likes the picture and agrees~ <br><br>I guess the most obvious place to start would be with Dawn leaving the Courts, or rather after she left the Courts. Crys characters are hidden in a forest up in Maine I believe, though it should be fun to think of why Dawn and co are fleeing into forests.

				Yeah, I would say from a plotting and writing standpoint we should open this one with them already away and go over both some of what was written and whatever we decide on to have derailed things and prompted Dawn to be off on her own.&nbsp; So, rather than this being a direct extension of the other story, it's a new one and that someone who hasn't read the other can follow what's going on. Yes, I always like to believe that someone else is reading.<br><br>

				~nods~ Sounds good to me. Guess I should go research Maine some so I can have Dawn know, since you know that's where she grew up &gt;.&gt; <br><br><br>So.....<br><br>some basis in Merry Gentry. But how much do we want to keep v. how much throw away? I know crys concepts for characters are heavily tied to the Dreaming I think, with a chimerical naga creature and a female satyr huntress.

				I am flexible. Just, I'm not familiar with the 'Merryverse' as I've not read the works, nor am I likely to considering how little free time I tend to have.<br><br>But.. I would be willing to toss together a more appropriate character with your help, Wisti-dear. My original idea didn't even include the chimerical naga, rather just a satyr huntress with a patch of forest she coveted and called home. *Shrugs a little*

				Several of the Kiths show up in the Merryverse. The Sidhe and Redcaps would be pretty close in either, though the sidhe in the Merryverse tend to have more powers. The Slaugh, by contrast, are very different. The Merryverse Slaugh are much closer to the historical version, very old, very powerful, very horrific wild hunt kinda thing.

				Well, you could take elements from both. How does this sound?<br><br>As the Europeans spread into the US centuries ago, the fae came with them. The fae took land in the same way the mortal settlers did, their Sithens and mounds appearing in the wilder places, dividing themselves into fuedal territories under the banner of their own nobility, forming communities both by kith and by affiliation (seelie / unseelie).<br><br>The native spirits fared much as the mortals did, some living in peace with the newcomers, others fighting. The end result was much the same. <br><br>As the world turned, industry grew and belief in magic and the fae dwindled. The fae communities faded in turn, holding strongest in the rural areas where old beliefs still were strong, and in other isolated spots where either natural magics or the local mortals beliefs gave them anchors.<br><br>In time, things changed again, belief in magic and the supernatural waxing stronger. This empowered the remaining fae, those who had not faded, or fallen into, for lack of a better term, a magical hibernation. Councils met, and the fae sought to ensure that the period they had gone through should not happen again.<br><br>It was decided that they would try and prepare the world to acknowledge them. Some were in favour, some against. Some agree to work this task, others would have no part of it.<br><br>Select mortals were sought out, those who might best rekindle beliefs in myth and magic. Books were written, songs were sung, and bit by bit, the magic flowed back into the world.<br><br>Eventually it was decided that the time was right, and those fae deemed most likely to win public acceptance were to announce their existance to the world.<br><br>People being people, the reactions were mixed. Once the hysteria died down, some had fallen in love with the fae, others were ready to denounce them as evil incarnate, and every opinion in between. <br><br>How does that sound?

				That sounds like a really good back history, a mix of a bunch of different takes on the fae in modern literature. And it means that there is unrest in the humans in how they deal with the fae as well as within the fae about how they deal with the humans. I bet there are some wanting to conquer and rule, others who want nothing to do with the mortals, etc. The sidhe could still be the 'high/noble' race, the ones that interact with the humans the most perhaps? The Fair Folk pretty much.

				The sidhe would certainly be the most glamorous (pun intended ;), but there initial 'volunteers' would also include the small, cute and harmless. The likes of Slaugh and Redcaps would be kept under wraps til the population started to get more used to the others (assuming they would even want to go public at all).<br><br>Some fae take much more easily to the mundane world than others. There might be a handfull of sidhe in tv and movies (plenty of magic there) ... maybe a Redcap or larger goblin has entered 'professional' wrestling, as a professional bad guy ... and there is a definite kink for satyr porn, considering their stamina and natural *ahem* talent.

				Hehe, 60's it is then, what fun. <br><br>I remember what you are talking about, vaguely but its a good idea I agree, the death sentence for death magic. <br><br>Are we going to go with the majority, if not all, pureblooded fae being in America? Or would they be spread out? And if they are perhaps there's fae traveling....roads? Within the Faerie perhaps? that lead to the other places without having to do the whole plane or boat trip to another continent. I mean that would make sense, from what little I know of Changeling, along with how the sitherns had worlds within themselves in Merryverse and in original folk lore. <br><br>I guess the major thing would be to decide what the major courts are. Seelie and Unseelie being the main divisions would make sense, they are the classic ones, with the other 'major' courts having sort of died out or gotten smaller as time passes. I can see there being more small courts though, or again not if that doesn't work. Figuring out all that would make it a lot easier for sure :)<br><br><br>As for adding in the others...what if we add them in but in ways that are fae-centric. In the Merryverse there were cults and witches and other magics. Vampires could just be a twisted form of sidhe-goblin matches perhaps? At least source Vampires where ones who were bitten would be weaker, or maybe no one changed when bitten? Were's would be pretty easy as well since shape changing is something you see as being a aspect of the Fair Folk. Could just be another faction/clan/Court in the mix.<br><br>The creatures could be completely of the Faerie, only they took on the names that...um....superstition gave them, perhaps to try and increase their powers since people believe in vamps and werewolves and such.

				Changeling, if I remember correctly, has pathways that connect the various freeholds, the silver path that runs throught the dreaming. I think it would be possible to incorporate that, though with the waning of magic, some of those paths no longer connect, and others are .. dangerous. Some travellers that start out on them never arrive at their destinations.<br><br>Courts in each region could be mixed, as I previously suggested. Let's say that LA is part of the Kingdom of the Sun. With Hollywood and Disneyland both in the area, magic is relatively strong, people still believing in dreams. There is a seelie court and unseelie court, both made up of a mixture of kiths. You have the Goblin court, made up of primarily Goblins (a single kith) and Redcaps. You also have the Sluagh court (exclusively Sluahg, since no one else really wants to mix with them). Scattered around you might have a number of smaller sithens and freeholds, home to small handfulls of fae, in single or mixed groups, who would probably owe their alleigance to the seelie or unseelie. Up towards the Canadian border you would have several enclaves of Native American spirits, and perhaps down towards Mexico more of them.<br><br>I'm not sure about having vampires and werewolves as fae. Anyone else want to offer their thoughts?

				I kind of liked Wisti's spin on it... <br><br>Though as an alternative in White-Wolf there are a couple things that integrate the various types of supernaturals. For Fae and Vampire they made a line of Kindred known as the Kiasyd. A bloodline originally born of a Changeling or some such. The Kiasyd's powers touch on the illusory magic of Fae. They're consumed with a thirst for knowledge... And are never really seen as PCs since their m.o. is basically to sleep for thousands of years, wake up, read almost non-stop, and then sleep for thousands of years again.<br><br>They also created the Ceilican. A changing breed from the Bastet (werecats). The Ceilican is the house cat werecat. They also have a bit of fae in them. One of their flaws is that every year they go through a massive personality change... When it's done they remember events of their past almost like one would recall scenes of a movie.. With great detachment. This often leads to them breaking hearts and hurting people since there's no real attachment to their history.<br><br>It's been years since I read about either, but that's what my fuzzy mind recalls of them both. I still kinda like Wisti's take on it since if they were fae in and of themselves they would be looped into the plot a bit more thoroughly, but then.. We don't have to integrate other supernaturals at all if we don't want to.

				If I remember the Changeling map, the US has about 6-8 Kingdoms scattered across the continent. With the decrease in magic though, there may be a lot of each Kingdom is pretty much lines on a map, without much in the way of fae presence there. You might also have independent holds ..

				So, my thoughts on the discussions so far...<br><br>I do like the idea of other supernaturals being incorporated.&nbsp; It just seems odd to me that fae would exist without the other folklore having some basis as well.&nbsp; &nbsp;Shapechangers are certainly fae both as part of their nature (selkies and pooka) or just as part of the magic.&nbsp; So it seems easy for werewolf folklore to have been based on them.<br><br>Vampires are a touch trickier, though many of their powers could be based on fae glamour (and changing into bats and wolves...)&nbsp; The fae are a touch vampiric in their needs after all, and the darker of unseelie shide could easily be adverse to light (or just favored the night enough that people jumped to the conclusion they couldn't stand sunlight)&nbsp; In a pre-industrail time the fae could travel freely in the dark of night and know that they would be unlikely to be interrupted in their games but a crowd of angry neighbors.&nbsp; So perhaps there was a court of particularly vicious unseelie in eastern Europe that started those legends?&nbsp; <br><br>If we don't want to do it like that, we could just have them be 'over there'.&nbsp; Part of the world but not involved in the scope of our group of fae.&nbsp; However, I really like the idea of expanding the fae a touch and having them as part of the family. <br><br>The inclusion of the more Changling territorial kingdoms shifts us from the Merryverse's (as I recall from reading the first book a while ago) breakdown by more racial lines.&nbsp; This would adjust the politics (though I can see the characters we already have all being fine with some background adjustments).&nbsp; Dawn would be a princess for a specific kingdom, unless we perhaps alter things...&nbsp; Maybe rather than an attempt to have a single queen of all the different races of fae it was an attempt to have a single court ruling all of North America?&nbsp; <br><br>

				In the Merryverse you have just really the 5 courts. Seelie, Unseelie, Slaugh, Goblin and Demi-fae. The seelie and unseelie tend to have both sidhe and other 'lesser' fae as part of the courts. There are a lot less fae in that setting than in Changeling.

				Is it that there was less fae or just that there were less courts? Because there was the Jack of Irons character, and the seelkie, and the other ones, like Jeremy, there's a hint of a lot of different creatures that just end up belonging to one court or another or being out on their own. Also brownies, spaced on them, they don't have a Court of their own. <br><br>I think a unifying High Court could be an awesome thing to go for, perhaps because the other Courts have failed and there is so much in warring?

				All in all, I don't really mind adding in other supernatural creatures. I'm not sure about making vampires and werewolves other forms of fae though.<br><br>Thinking about it, I'd prefer to keep them as distinct entities. The vampires, perhaps, have watched the fae 'experiment' with coming out, and started working towards it themselves, hence the rise in urban fantasy as a genre / more vampire movies, the focus shifting from vampires as voracious predators to something dark and sexy. Maybe they were even partly responsible for the creation of Goth culture, getting some of the unseelie fae to help inspire the first waves of goth music and art.

				Well I think figuring out where each kingdom is/ what their name is and what one in particular Dawn's suppose to be from. Outside of that I think we have at least a decent foundation to get started. <br><br>And yes, threat to her life seems the best idea, especially considering Dawn would be ready to take any excuse to bolt out of the faerie and back to mortal lands.

				Ok, having a better quality map image to work from, these are the Kingdoms.<br><br>East coast: Kingdom of Apples,&nbsp; Kingdom of Willows,&nbsp; Kingdom of White Sands,<br>Middle:&nbsp; Kingdom of Grass,&nbsp; Kingdom of Burning Sun.<br>West coast:&nbsp; Kingdom of Pacifica.<br>Canada/ Alaska:&nbsp; Kingdom of Northern Ice<br>Mexico:&nbsp; Kingdom of Feathered Snake<br>Carribean: Fiefs of Bright Paradise.<br><br>So, I guess it depends where Dawn was raised.

				So for a feeling of the history set up for the game I came up with <br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Once we were a great people. <br><br>All the world knows this for the truth; even now they murmur of us, envy us, want to be a part of the magic that we are born of. It has always been this way. Once we ruled the earth, we gave to humans aids, sheltered them, nurtured them. It would be fair to say that we were demanding at times, and perhaps cruel in their minds. We are what we are born to be, how can a being be other?<br><br>Humans live and die with greed and ambition in their hearts; there is love, yes, and their intensity has often been what draws our kind to them. But humans judge us harsher for their jealousy. I stray though…<br><br>We gave to them, protected them and led them out of the darkness of the dawn of time. But they grew, and with that found others to replace us, turned their faces from the old ways. They made new gods, not all of them, not all at once; but enough. <br><br>We grew lesser, though still chosen, still blessed by the Divine that created this world. We learned to be careful, and then in our arrogance and pride some of us retreated further and further into the other planes, into our kiths and sitherns, into the mountains and the forests, the sacred wild places that remained untouched. We cared less for the humans that had spurned us, for in our pride we saw ourselves as greater. <br><br>We still do.<br><br>Only the most famous of us were known still, names of the Dadga, of Lugh and the Morrighan whispered on mortal lips. Though that is amongst those who believed the longest, those who traveled the world to seek a place their own, they were called the Celts. Once we were everywhere; you think power such as ours was confined to one lonely isle? Or even to just one continent? Ah fool, no, our touch, our roots span the vast world, in places no mortal man has yet to touch. Europe is merely were we were believed in the longest; the romance of it I suppose. Asia and Africa once worshipped, and the lands of North and South America when they were but fledging places and long. <br><br>That is the grace of the Lord and the Lady, our Goddess and the Green Man know no boundaries. They are all and yet none. <br><br>But faith died as science took over, beings faded, happy in the realm of the Pure, of the Dreams; mortals still believed in dreams and ah, what a sweetness that was, to walk in them and weave our magics. <br><br>We watched as fools when most of our followers turned to a new God, one that was solitary, one that neglected the Maiden, Mother and Crone. We didn’t notice until too late that this new faith would rob the Goddess so. And then we were unable to stop it fully, Christ had come, bitter as it was. <br><br>That is not to say my brethren disrepect or dislike Christ, after all to us he is merely another aspect of the God. It is ironic, do you find, that even that faith found a way to shift in a ‘Maiden/Mother’ figure? Blessed Virgin Mary. Our roots are deep.<br><br>We started to fight then, started to demand our due again. We clove destruction across the world and showed that we were still very much here. Killing with so little thought…the Dark Ages are aptly named. Our Lord and Lady rebuked us then, chastising as they had the right to do. And so we willing chosen to live in the Pure rather then in the earthly plane; for centuries we existed there, our leaders observing and planning. <br><br>Given our release and forgiveness when the oceans were bridged we realized that we would need to work in tandem with the mortals we had thought so little of. We were Their chosen, to safe guard their creations. Our history has been full of strife within ourselves as well, for like humans we are greedy for power, wanting always more. So we established our Kingdom’s, some to hold the old lands, but most of us chose to go to the New World as the humans’ called it. It wasn’t new to us. <br><br>This time we settled into the earthly world slowly, unfurling our powers and courts, establishing them. <br><br>And then, as the world turned toward ‘modernity’ we came into the open; let it be known there were more to the myths then just myths. Some of us were foolish, like those that got mixed up with pride and encouraged the wars in Europe, the first World War we had hoped would be the end of it. But Hilter had spent a evening in the company of the beautiful nymphs and lords of the Shinning and his elf struck mind along with the injuries done in his past twisted him and led the course of another World War. In both of those we lost, lost so many people. <br><br>We placed laws on ourselves, made ourselves smaller, lesser; ah the last fifty years have felt like a slow death. <br><br>But that is about to change, as is the squabbling for power, the grasping for more and feeling denied. The Goddess and God have seen our need, light though their touch must be they know strong rulers are needed for their people, bloodlines do not always give over the best of monarchs. <br><br>And so from the many kingdoms eight will be chosen. One to be the Vessel, the High Ruler, and the others each charged with ruling in a High Court over all the others on their continents. <br><br>How to decide those eight though….now that is another tale altogether. <br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>

				Okay, working on politics, toying with ideas for them while I paint; however with races/beings of power you all can help. <br><br>Give me a list of three to five beings you would like to see in the story line, NPCs or not, outside of the sidhe, goblins, slaugh and demifey. Those will be already worked in. <br><br>It can be beings of power from any mythos, vampires, weres can be included but don't have to be (in fact please say if you would like or dislike them to factor into this at all)<br><br>Can have everything from Greek nymphs and centaurs to Japanese demons and elemental spirits. Just think of what you would like to interact with. <br><br><br>Rough notes of the politics for right now would be that there were Courts set up, that the Kingdom's gave loyalty to, the Bright Court (Seelie like), the Shadow Court (Unseelie), the Blood Court (more bump in the night, blood thirtsy, like goblins, vamps if they work in, etc) and the Wild Court (slaugh/host, spirits, ect). <br><br>However since the Courts were led by people who didn't actually govern lands they started abusing the power their vassel Kingdom's gave and have been bad leaders, even before the past fifty years of being 'lesser'. <br><br>The Realm Guardians (name up for change but the person selected to rule over each Realm) haven't been chosen yet; they will be once the High Ruler is found/chosen. <br><br>So that means there are seven positions of major power that a lot of people would be vying for and that means that Dawn's story thread isn't the main focus anymore, though she will be a way to power for a lot of people. There will be two to three other contenders for the High Ruler position I'm thinking, probably NPCs unless someone wants to play a other faction. <br><br><br>-- And I am contemplating approaching a few other people to join in the game as well outside of the five of us.

Trail too deep and you will never get out. <br><br>The Blood Court, goblins are the most known of these creatures, though there is far more, all those creatures you think of that desire the blood of mortals lives. <br><br>The Wild Court, the stuff of nightmares, of shadows, this is things that hold both beauty and horror, that linger just unseen and torment the mind. This Court also holds the Host, the Wild Hunt if you know it, it is the one that judges. <br><br>Each had their purpose before; they still do, though there were more courts once they have drifted off but these still have power, still have mortal's believe in them. And with the scattered kingdom's holding to different Courts fighting, murder and politics have claimed much of our years. Chastened by World War II the Other has retreated more into the Pure, but that means mortal years are a hundred years within the Pure, that decades have passed and still we fight. <br><br>That is over; according to the oracles, to the dreams all the Other has had. Now we will have to bow to a high ruler, give away before a power that will over see us. Realms are to be established, seven to support the High One. There are of course grumbles; discontent, those who rule the Courts now have no desire to forefit their power. The Kingdoms are mixed, some hopeful, some wary, some hostile. <br><br><br>Still, three have been chosen, those who could be the High One; it is in their hands now to chose their Realm Guardian's wisely, to listen and bind allies, to gain support. The Land of America has been proclaimed the stage for this, all three chosen of mixed blood and grown in the 'New World', no older then two hundred years our fate rests with them now. <br><br>Aren't they lucky?</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>

				Okies, so I set up a Wiki Page (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:Dark_of_Dreaming) meant for this group. <br><br>Please feel free to edit in your characters on the Profile Page (http://elliquiy.com/wiki/Private:DD_Profiles), just look at how I did Dawn's for an idea of what I was doing. <br><br>I want to get this story up and going, please try to do the profiles and have them in both the profile thread and the wiki during the next week. <br><br>Hairy and I are still writing out a scene between Cern. and Dawn; Amberghylles and I have a scene written out between Roarke and Dawn after that happens. <br><br>I am working on a intro post to pick up with Dawn having left the Court and taken them, her guards and herself at least, to DC. Since this doesn't involve Hairy directly at first I plan to start it before the other thread wraps up. Though I certainly do hope the King comes and sees her in the city ^.^ <br><br>Lolli we can plot for Dawn and Cecily to meet up again, that was part of why I was moving forward to the city.<br><br><br>crys just let me know what you are thinking for your character and I'll work you in somehow, or maybe one of the gentlemen will want to.

				*Reads the info Wisti has posted again.*<br><br>I'm actually thinking of playing an Unseelie character. <br><br>No race in mind, but someone who hopefully has decent influence over a group of people (which I gather usually means the individual is a Sidhe?). <br><br>I don't imagine her as a ruler, but perhaps the adviser of one.

				*Nods.* That thought had occurred to me. I was imagining it wouldn't be an all-present thing..

				So sadly Will has backed out of the game, for reasons that I completely understand :) <br><br>crys, I believe, is still working on her character. A Seer from the Shinning Court I believe?<br><br><br>So....the King is still back in the heartlands I believe at the moment, likely doing some political stuff with the other Courts, but he can move his Court anywhere he wants Hairy. <br><br>Cecily and Dawn are going to meet up soon, the guards are with her, including Roarke. If you all have any ideas for NPC names, personalities, etc please feel free to share them. I made names for each of the rulers of the other Courts, NPC's, check out the profile page on the wiki for that :) <br><br>Also have someone I think I'll ask to join if he enjoys it.

				I'm a tad up to my eyeballs and behind on posting at the moment. I doubt I'll be able to do much here before at least next week.

				There's no rush in the least :) I figured I'd get everyone else into play with the new thread in DC setting. We have the end of our thread planned out so as long as I don't make too much reference to it I think we can do this just fine. Like I said, your character is off on his own at the moment so really no worries. And I don't think we'll be posting <em>that</em> fast.<br><br><br>Also ~snuggles~ This is fun remember &lt;3

				I'm alive :)<br><br>Also, wonderful men; I came up with an idea that lolli agreed to. Cecily is going to be announced as one of the other contenders to add a interesting twist to the story and her and Dawn's relationship. That also makes Hairy's character favor important to both of them and ties everything in neatly :) Least we thought so. <br><br>Thoughts?
