The Plot
In a range of jagged, icy mountains, there is a deep caldera with lush forests and bright rivers, almost like it's own little world. Its crowning jewel is a soaring, breathtaking castle and walled city - all made of clear crystalline glass.
But the city cits eerily abandoned, perfectly preserved, as if everyone had simply vanished. But what happened there was an event to horrible and bloody it has been all but erased from history.
It waits for the true heir to return and reclaim their rightful place, and breathe life into the cold, cursed glass.
The descendants of those who abandoned the castle formed five clans. Once a year, everyone who turns sixteen is sent down into the caldera, and must stay in it for a bloody Rite Of Passage. Less than half ever return. Now you are sixteen. Can you figure out the curse of the glass castle, and survive your Rite?
The Clans
Clan Tazil - Mountain-dwelling Rukh Riders
Clan Daelynn - Mariners on the nearby sea
Clan Vardenna - Peaceful healers and forest-dwellers
Clan Taurin - Knowledge-keepers and inventors
Clan Vyrvryth - Powerful, terrfying warriors and warlords

}-{ About }-{
The Tazil are relatively peaceful, as well as elusive. They live high in the reaches of the mountains surrounding the Caldera, making them the closest to the Glass Castle. Their main home is in a cluster of the three highest peaks, forming a triangle. In between them, they slope down in a flat snowfield to a frozen lake. On the other sides of these mountains, it is a sheer drop. The tops of two of the mountains are hollow, with vast cities inside. Almost all of these rooms are uninhabited, but it is still a breathtaking sight. The main part of the mountain is hollow, with layers and layers of the city built around the sides.
The third mountain is where they leave their dead. When someone dies, their bonded rukh usually dies as well, so strong is the bond between the two. It is rare for one to live after the other is gone. A cloak-like shroud is made from the feathers of the rukh and the rider is wrapped in them. The body is left on the mountain, not buried, for it is considered an honor to have hawks and vultures and other birds come and eat your remains, giving life to the sky and its creatures. Wow, that sounds kinda messed up, doesn't it! It's not, I promise!
The larger of the two inhabited mountains is called Nenaci, which means Wind, and the smaller one is Nandri, which means Sky.

Unlike the other clans, the Taurin do not have a collective belief. They believe in fact and what is real. If, say, the Tazil could prove the existence of one of their gods with undeniable evidence, they would likely adopt that god. This goes to prove how the Taurin are, fror the most part, slightly more grounded than the other four.

Phaidra
Phaidra rolled her eyes as her father fused over her cloths. A grey robe with gold embroidery and gauntlets, with riding pants. Her long waved hair of darkest brown was in a plate with smaller braids threading through it, with two silvery feathers at the end.
Her hearth mother and grandmother, Captain, and little brother stood by.
As she kneeled down by her little brother, Yoren, he looked up at her with wide worried dark eyes, just as her own.
*Will you come back?* he was only seven but worried for their little family sometimes more than father.
She grinned slyly.
*Oh course I will little chick! Ill be the best, and Ill tell you all about it!*
He smiled.
She stood, her grand mother nodded and walked her to her rukh.
Callaina was a creamy iridescent white, her feathers sleek with on her feet feather, tail tip, and wing feather tips a tarnish brown. Her sharp eyes a greenish yellow and she watched Phaidra as she approached. Phaidra loved Callaina like her own family.
She stroked her flank and turned lastly to her grand mother for her to tap her dark lined finger on her forehead.
*Dont forget to use that head of yours!*
*Dont think only my head is able to shoot straight.* she replied dryly.
He grandmother huffed. Phaidra swung up into Callianas saddle, the wind stirring her long dark braid.
*I can do this, you all are such mother hens!* and she took off, Callaina soaring up as they headed to the Caldera.
Phaidra embraced the sharp wind on her face, but as she looked ahead with no one but Callaina around her, her face turned more grave.
Sanyi
Sanyi strode through the pine wood. He had said his goodbyes to his aunt and cousin the day before, now he was on his way to the Caldera.
His dark brows were furrowed and he wasnt really looking at the path in front of him, but running through all the myths and stories and accounts of the caldera and the glass castle within.
None were super specific, and others counteracted each other.
One thing they all agreed on was that it was cursed till the one who came to breathe life back into the crystals and release the curse. If you didnt die that is, and most did die.
He suddenly heard a huffing behind him to see a girl jogging to catch up with him.
He blinked. She didnt look to be from the Shari clan.
She had shortly cut pale blonde hair, she was lean but not that tall, though from his heigh she probably looked shorter, and startling grey almond eyes. As she slowed to a walk near him her gate was more swaying and fluid, as if she was more used to the ground beneath her always moving.
Clan Daelynn then, sea farers.He thought.
Aquila
Aquila had left behind the sea, and already missed the salty breeze, the roar and hush of the waves braking and the sun filtering through the morning mists.
The pine forest that she had been walking through to the caldera looked pretty bland and still to her, and pine needles were sticking under her feet in her sandals.
But as she walked along the path though she spotted someone ahead.
He was tall and slim, and has she jogged to catch up she saw he had short but messy black hair, his skin was pale and his face angular with high cheek bones.
*ello!* she breathed, she wasnt that short but he really was tall.
*Are you eading to the Caldera?*
He nodded and she saw that he had bright intelligent blue green eyes. Pretty.
*Wha clan are you from?*
*Shari, keepers of knowledge and wisdom.* he spoke softly but clearly. He looked a bit sad to her, solum.
*Im from Clan Daelynn!*
He nodded as if he already knew.
*From the cliffs it would have been faster to walk down the west road.* He didnt say it in a snotty way, but a more tired way, or more in a way for useful advice.
*Really?* she said, cocking her head to the side. *I can read almost any map but we most travel by the stars since they don blow away.*
*What about clouds?* he asked inquisitively.
She shrugged.
*Thats when maps come in handy I guess.* she just then remembered that her mother and older brother would have been horrified at what she had said, giving away clan secrets they would say.

((Do you mind if I start instead so I can do a sort of send-off for all of them, rather than them all randomly leaving?))

Elysabeth | Clan Vyrvryth (half Taurin)
"You're strong. You'll survive, Elysabeth. I have no doubt about that."
Elysabeth nodded sharply. She tried to take Umeril's words to heart, but it was hard when hedidn't tmean them. Everything he said to her was hollow, empty, and even his eyes were filled with disgust when he looked at her. She knew why.
I didn't choose my parents, she wanted to scream. I wish my father hadn't betrayed his bllod to fall in love with a Taurin, and her hers. But it runs in the family, doesn't it? She was half Hialeahan herself.
But Lys kept her face blank and calm. "Thank you, Umerial-syer," she said. The honorific she used did not carry any special respect - it was simply the traditional term for the Blood Leader. No special honors or respect added, nor did she think he deserved any when he could not return it.
Umeril gave her a stiff nod before moving down the line to the next sixteen-year-old heading off on the Blood Rite.
Lys rubbed her bare shoulders. They prickled with goosebumps from the cool wind. On her right shoulder was inked a sharp, geometric pattern, falling halfway down her upper arm and tristing across her collarbone, done in blood red ink. It was identical to the ones the rest of Clan Vyrvryth had, except for the obvious blank hole in the circle, where the tattoo should have encircled a house crest. When her father fell in love with a Taurin woman, he had been banished, and so Lys herself was left houseless.
Unlike all the other Vyrvrythans, her left shoulder was covered in the golden, piraling, interlocking runic tattooof Clan Taurin. Again, the spot where she should have had a house crest was blank.
The dual tattoos, and the lack of house crests, was a permanant mark of the fact that she was mixed-clan. A ******. A mistake. Where others wore their clan tattoos proudly, hers were a mark of shame.
Lys tyrned to the Vyrvryth girl next to her. "Thea."
She hesitated before holding out her hand. "Good luck with the Rite."

Thea|Vyrvrythan
Thea dippered her head respectfully as the Blood leader passed her, whispering the same words she knew he spoke to everyone of them.
When the girl beside her, Elysebeth, turned, her hand outstretched, to give her luck she studied the girl.
She was pretty but you could see just by her features that she wasnt full Vyrvrythan.
Her skin was lighter, freckles splattering her nose bridge, her golden eyes sharp matchher the runic tatto on one shoulder, matching the red geometric on the other. Her hair was full and thick and some curl, but a dark gold. In a way the girl looked quite opposite to herself, with her dark brown skin and thick dark curls, her build sturdy and strong, her eyes a brilliant dark red brown. She wore a sturdy simple black tunic with a red sash belt like a open wound around her middle, her own red tattoo could just be seen on her shoulder, but the circle with her family sigil had a darker red thunderhead with a spear.
Theas back was straight, her shoulders thrown back, as she shook her hand.
*May the battle me won.* her voice was smooth and rhythmicly deeper, reassuring yet strong and commanding.
She knew most disliked Elysebeth because of her split houses, but Thea had found when being trained with the girl that it wasnt that she didnt mind, but didnt care. She figured she was in this clan, so as long as she was loyal to it, then no reason to not have another fighter. She treated her like anybody else mostly if not a little indifferent, though she was stand offish a bit to most people.
