Enter the World of Dark-Fall
Welcome to a world of Magic and Night Terrors
Welcome to Dark-Fall, it's the year 1585 ADF and the world is filled with war, pestilence and despair. The continent of Dysvoll has fallen into darkness, in the most literal sense. Shadow creatures roam when darkness falls, terrorizing the inhabitants and leaving towns in ruins.
Greeting traveller, what brings you to these parts? Nevermind now, we must get to safety before the sun sets - quickly, in here!
It was once a more peaceful place - back when the Fae and Humans both kept to themselves and worried more about their individual survival than power and riches and dominating one another.
The world has been invaded by malicious Dark Entities for over a thousand years, but their behaviour has changed. In the past, the creatures resided far from any cities or locations, but now they overrun cities leaving destruction and chaos in their wake.
The Theme of Dark-Fall
War and PeaceWar is a central theme in Dark-Fall along with peace. Currently, most parts of Dysvoll have a state of peace, though multiple regions are on the brink of war. Overcoming the Odds
The world is dark and grim, but where there's a will there's a way. The odds are against everyone and survival is not easy. However, hope is not lost. One person can change the world in a meaningful way, however, few manage to do it. Everything has a Price
Magic is not just some easy way out of sticky situations. In theory, you could just conjure up gold and gems and make yourself rich, you could also master the art of controlling others, but everything has a price. The people who don't respect magic and aren't cautious about using it might end up suffering from Magic Rot, a horrible and debilitating condition.
Conflicts in Dark-Fall
Corruption and Greed
The mind can be so easily corrupted; a whisper in the dark night, promising glory and ascension to a higher mental plane. Some of the humans gave into their fantasies and sought out the Fae, hoping that one of them would be naive enough to grant them a Fae Mark. However, most humans have no idea what they're dealing with when they first tap into their new affinity for magic and many fall into insanity.Hate and Narcisism
The Fae let themselves be divided by hate, claiming that they each were better than their siblings. The different clans fought violent and gruesome battles that never lead anywhere but to destruction and despair. They isolated themselves in small pocket dimensions, plotting their next move. The conflicts between the fae lasted for hundreds of years and drained them for resources, leaving many fae in poverty.War and Bloodshed
The Thousand Year War was fought between the fae but it also affected the humans tremendously and created conflicts between the human nations. The war ended with the Treaty of Kloevendal and the High Fae Court was created to make sure the peace between the fae would last. However, with the strained relationship between humans and fae, war seems inevitable.
Where would you like to go now, traveller?
What a well crafted world! I like the magic system and hope to see a sort of spell book or archive of magic. Keep on Keepin' on!
