Friend noticed I had opened the campaign containing the first map. Now wants me to continue that campaign since we kind of had to delay some time back. Look what you’ve made me do Tim. I hate when that happens. Like it used to be that a year or two ago whenever the subject of my old ISRPs came up Tim would start nagging at me to continue one I had going on with him. It was one long since abandoned and it would've been impossible to continue it since I forgot where I was going with it but like clockwork Tim would ask. |

It’s alright Tikobe we can play him at his own game. Especially since he asked me to get those maps and didn’t comment afterward. Oi Tim! Where’s my Arloth? Where’s my Arcane Tower? Where’s that third one that only lasted a couple pages? Where’s my LoF? When are you going to finish that story of yours? Oi Tim! |

Arloth's plot was dependent upon so many characters whose RPers aren't here any more. Siege of Dorthol was meant to be this huge thing with a large interconnected plotline with no real main character, but nobody stuck around long enough for that to become a reality. Arcane Order of the Green Tower died when supermariomania, who played Caldir, stopped replying: I wanted to continue as much as you, but that's like if Aragorn just stopped doing things halfway through Lord of the Rings. Land of Ferinox was spammed into oblivion by that one jackass and I couldn't find anything on the thread any more thanks to that guy, and when I contacted the mods about it, they also turned all posts by Eikoopmit into [Content Deleted], which made it really hard to reference things that were happening (that said, I did temporarily revive it here, if only for that one-off joke about that poison that was making Darikinth go mad and giving him dementia and breaking the fourth wall). Also, most of the plot elements that I wanted to include in those will be recycled for this anyway, I think: You can probably very clearly remember my inspiration for the Spiderwood Forest and maybe also those prophetic dreams that Arthur had about Cyclopses, and from Arloth... Well, I have plans to include a Green Tower here in this RP, don't I? |

Is the magic system going to be similar to D&D? I’m well versed in 5e stuff but really didn’t enjoy 4e so that may have a bearing on what direction I go with my character.

Hey guys, sorry that I've been slow on this. I've been thinking about it a lot, but I've had a cold for a week so it was hard to write. I'm sitting my SATs this Saturday, so don't expect me to be too active this week either (fun fact for international people: they stand for Stupid American Tests, or at least that's what I tell my mum's family in Australia to get a good laugh out of people).
I'm thinking that I'll post an RP once I have a name and most of the basics of most regions done, and then update the OP over time with more worldbuilding, because I really bit off more than I can chew with this and I can't just do all the worldbuilding then make the RP. I've also decided to completely scrap that old map, because there wasn't enough of a coastline, and I'll make a new one once I have more concrete ideas about all the various regions: That map was filled with lots of placeholders.
What I'll likely end up doing is fleshing out a handful of places in the map in lots of detail; say, Kraken Island, with the Kraken Coast on the main continent as well, the feudal kingdoms of Elusia, Argolon and Eredal, the Orevod Peninsula which is a much more centralized dragonocracy, Winterpond and the surrounding area in the far north and then maybe also the Yhendorn city-states, putting a note in the OP saying "please start in one of these places for now because that's all that I've worked out specific details for" and then over time editing the OP when I do enough worldbuilding on other parts of the map.
I've also made an account on Worldanvil, which I might use for the worldbuilding. I've noticed a few flaws in their organization system that might make things hard for me, though, so I'm still somewhat iffy about how much I'll be using it.

If you've never noticed, I usually make my RPs with a world's that's only half done. It may sound weird, but that way, if I want to change something or put in something that wasn't there before I have more than enough space to do so. |

I tend to always leave my worlds very vague and half-done, but this will be much, much less than a half-finished world, I think: Just a few kingdoms, duchies and a smattering of earldoms and counties that'll be mostly names, a bit of general history, a magic system (which I still need to figure out) and then a tiny handful of very specific details that I think are pretty cool. |

My entire life has basically slowed to a halt. I can't write, I can't do work, I can't think. I think I can write and worldbuild if I start roleplaying, though, so I might post an extremely skeletal RP with mostly just the stuff already described here and fill it in as necessary.

Faeries are hard to write for properly, I've found. There's so much faerie folklore that exists, as well as modern connotations of what a faerie is that I have to consider. There's just so much information to sift through, and so I need to find something that's both unique and yet genuinely of the fey. That said, I was reading about the pre-Christian beliefs of Anglo-Saxon England and, after clicking on two links, ended up on the page for the wild hunt, which I quite like. So there will probably be a Wild Hunt, or something equivalent, or similar.

It's supposed to be really ugly and it screams during the night, though some speculate it's actually really kind since it does this so everyone will know it's coming and so no one has to burden themselves with seeing it. Or at least, that's what I've read. I haven't really looked into the subject in depth. |

That said, the Bretons were very close to the Cornish and the Welsh and the Britons before they were replaced by the Anglo-Saxns, so maybe it's just a general Brythonic myth that the Anglo-Saxons picked up from their neighbours and from integrating their new subjects. |

I just looked through the posts and I can't believe I forgot to mention it, but as part of the faerie lore I want a green man, or maybe green men, to be things that exist. So here's what I have now of Faerie lore: - Seelie and Unseelie courts. That doesn't mean "good" and "bad" faeries; Unseelie would definitely be bad and malicious towards people, but Seelie would be closer to chaotic neutral than anything else.
- The Wild Hunt. I don't know what I want to do with it, but it's an awesome thing, so I want to do it.
- Bugul Noz. Whether it's Anglo-Saxon as Tikobe said or Breton like what google said, he's a damn interesting guy.
- Green Men. Basically people made out of leaves and shrubs and stuff like that who live in forests and protect them.
- Elves, as sort of a halfway point between faeries and humans.
- More types of faeries like sprites, pixies, gnomes and others I haven't even thought of.
