This takes place (roughly) in the 1600's. But, please have your character(s) talk like they would in 2021- it's just easier.




For quite a long time, the fey realm has been generally peaceful. Yeah, the summer and winter fey have the occasional war, and the arials occasionally kidnap children, but that's how things always are. That's no different from the norm- everybody's used to that.

But, times are beginning to change, and not for the better.


The arials are becoming more aggressive. The sirens more bold. The ignis less patient. The terra less friendly. Even the dumbest fey would be able to tell that something is on the horizon, and that it won't be too pleasant.


However, a few have remained optimistic. Surely, they could change this for the better? There's no reason things need to end in violence.


But, with things so close to chaos, can they truly stop this war?





Important things:

*Iron burns fey. It's more severe depending on the species, but it harms all species of fey. Sirens are the strongest against it, and arial are the weakest.
*There are 7 elements; Seelie (summer), unseelie (winter), terra (nature/earth), arial (air/wind/storms), ignis (fire), aqua (water, sirens are the only sentient aqua), and crystal.
*There are hybrids. But, these hybrids are limited to certain species, and hybridism is generally unhealthy and frowned upon if it's cross-element. The following hybridisms are not possible, for varying reasons:

Anything with aqua or crystal. Sirens can only breed with other sirens, and crystal creatures have a different reproductive system from other fey.
The majority of ignis. All dragons are incompatible with non-dragons. Zenko are fine for hybridism.
Certain species of terra, mainly dryads.

*Arial are far more advanced than other races. They have technology better than nowaday's, while other feys' is still stuck in the 1600's.
*Sirens are very reclusive. No other fey know what their society is like. Even exiled sirens are vague about their culture.
*Each element has a different language. Their universal language is English, but not all fey know how to speak and understand it.
*There is an arial named Dealkeeper, who is a prophet and is, for the most part, clairvoyant. She's important.
*There are specific species in the royal families of each place. The unseelie's are basilisks, seelie's are a human-like species called leshi, terra's are oreads, arial's are harpies, crystal's are vukis, isnis's are zenkos, and aqua's are sirens.

Characters:

(Kitten404)

Name: Queen Ketaniva (Keta)
Element: Winter
Species: Basilisk
Gender: Female
Anatomy: Tall and lanky. She has a long, scaly tail with a scorpion-like barb, and catlike eyes. Like all basilisks, her torso is scaly, with thick fur layering the upper half. The rest of her is normal, human-like tanned skin, with royal markings across her face. Her scales are a mix of red, brown, and white, and her fur is black. Her hair is long and flat, and isn't much lighter than her fur.
Specific powers: Her tail is extremely venomous. She can also create ice, though large amounts tire her. Being queen, she has relative control over her kingdom.
Personality: Generally calm. But, she gets impatient and testy with other species, seelie especially.
Job/ rank: Queen
Other: N/A

(Mystiria827)

Name: Eire
Element: Seelie
Species: Elf
Gender: Male
Anatomy* Eire is tall, thin, and willowy as expected of an elf. His hair is close to white and very long, falling to his mid-back. His expression is fixed in a permanent scowl, although his features are soft and almost androgynous in appearance. His tail is the same color as his hair, although rarely seen. Along his arms, he bears a multitude of burn scars, presumably from iron from the shape of the markings. He has a tendency to wear long-sleeved clothing or use his glamour to hide the unsightly scars. His eyes are a very pale shade of blue.
Specific powers* Eire is notably skilled when it comes to glamour- however, the more agitated he gets, the less he is able to use his ability. He used to be an incredibly powerful elf, but whatever experience caused him to gain his scars seems to have closed him off a little, therefore weakening his magic. He can be very defensive about this fact, as he doesn't want to believe he's gotten any less powerful.
Personality: Calculating, formal, mysterious, not particularly friendly.
Job/ rank: Eire stepped down from a noble position after gaining his scars, instead opting to live a more peaceful life in the forest. He's not too far from the Seelie settlements, but mostly he prefers to stick to himself. Presently, he works as a sort of apothecary-keeper and herb-gatherer.

(Yamii)

Name: Xdrodic Lkoesse
Element: Aqua
Species: Siren
Gender: NB
Anatomy: They have yellow and cyan scales, with navy hair and a long tail with an unusually spiky tip.
Specific powers: They can make their body appear to be water and they can sing better than average.
Personality Xdrodic is very curious and very calm. They are fairly smart, but also have a good sense of humor.
Job/ rank: Hunter (?)
Other: They are a cousin of the tinuse (siren hunting commander) of their clan.

It's the dead of night. But, that doesn't affect all fey; basilisks and sirens are nocturnal and can see in the dark. And, though Eire cannot, his great hearing makes up for it, allowing him to navigate as easily as a nighttime fey. Ketaniva is silently wandering the forest, using the nearby river as a guideline. Basilisks are know as the 'Great Hunters' for a reason- she's dead silent, and unlike most nocturnal fey her eyes don't glow, allowing her to be nearly invisible in the shadows. But, she's not trying to hide right now. She knows no siren would dare attack a royal, even if they're starving.

(yey!)

Xdrodic

They silently crept through the river, hunting, their green tail looking like a leaf in the water.

Eire had been foraging in the woods, looking for plants and the like that are best found in the night. But now it was time to return home. Perking his ears to listen for anything in his surroundings, Eire walks back towards his cabin in the heart of the forest.

Keta pauses, alert. She can hear Eire, and see him too. She hadn't realized how close she was to seelie territory. Eire probably can't see her, but with her tail perked Xdro (can't spell his full name so he's getting a nickname from me) can.

(like it :3)

Xdrodic

Xdrodic saw her. What the? Why is a BASSILISK here? They made camouflaged themselves into the dark waters.

Eire's ears pin back, and he emits a low hiss under his breath. Someone is here. His eyes scan the dark forest, but because of the low light he can see next to nothing. He closes his eyes entirely and attempts to locate the presence- or presences- purely by sound.

She knows there's people watching her. Calmly, she steps out into the moonlight so she can be seen better.

Xdrodric

Carefully, they slithered out the water to get a better look at the basilisk, as they had only seen one once while in battle.

She calmly examines them both. She's very pretty, and actually fairly short as far as basilisks go- she's only about 7 feet tall. She's not as intimidating as her daughter, Princess Ferra; she's not muscular, or tall, or even has any scars, while Ferra has all three.
