    an introduction.

    the kingdom of dewmire. it's a relatively famous name, with the world's current largest castle being the forechester palace located in the heart of the land, where the king and his family reside. the overall terrain of the land is majestic, withholding things such as unicorns and small dragons and what-not under their own version of the black forest; picture-esque views everywhere you turn, like you'd see right out of a story book. the overlying towns and villages are small but powerful, all close-knit communities that praise one man: king roulant.

    king roulant has always been seen as a man with passion. he felt everything with every bone in his body, something that many wanted in a king. his own father had been stoic, and often was seen as lacking empathy and being as dull as a wooden plank to the citizens of dewmire. king roulant, though? king roulant was different. in fact, many of those living in dewmire did not even realize king roulant was still alive until suddenly he came back out, fifteen years of being hid by his father due to something the boy could not control: the monster cursed upon him

    he wasn't a monster though, not at all. he came out, speaking of horrors that he encountered. he was the victim of a wolf in sheep's clothing, a mage who was supposed to be nothing more than a house keeper, who decided to try to shut the then three year old roulant up as to stop him from crying for his mother. it was an ideal thing to do if you were to be trying to kidnap the next air of dewmire for your own, as a way to seek vengeance on the king who had done nothing for you. it didn't work, though, by the time she had made it down the winding stairs of the castle, the queen had realized her baby was gone and the entire castle went into a lockdown. when the mage realized she was going to be cornered as she hid in that dim, dark room, she put a curse upon him. the boy would be a prince by day, yes, but by the time the first star had begun to twinkle in the sky, he was bound to become a wicked beast. it would continue until his twenty-first birthday, something she put in as she did love the young prince like he was her own, and never wished any harm to come of him.

    she surrendered herself, stepping out and letting the three year old go free before being seized by guards. she was hung that next day, for crimes against humanity, but by then the gruesome changes had already begun. the boy was to be a beast by the time the first star would come, and would become back to a prince when the last star in the sky finally disappeared by dawn. his father was absolutely ashamed by it, demanding that they hide him in the basement until they figured out a cure.

    the thing about it is, they never did. the prince spent his childhood in that basement, his mother coming down to teach him during the day and being left to claw at the walls and cry out for the mercy of a god who he no longer believed even existed as he spent his life in isolation. wizard after wizard came in, trying to reverse the curse but nothing could give, and instead they were left being hung by the king out of sheer anger and frustration, as he assumed they were all up to no good. eventually, the people who studied magic refused to go, as they knew if they failed, it would mean death.

    just like the mage had promised though, that curse ended at 21. roulant then ran upstairs that night, beating on the door as he begged to get let into the castle. he was him, no beast, no monster, but nobody listened to his cries. it wasn't until morning, when his mother went to bring him breakfast that he broke free, rushing past her as he went to find his father. his father was astound, not believing him at first until later that night when they sat outside of the door, listening and waiting until they heard him beat on the door once more, his voice ringing out with joy.

    a wave of relief hit the king, as his only heir would live to be king. that week, they had an official crowning for the prince, and the entire kingdom celebrated the life that would be his.

    his father then began to tell him the stories of what happened, the memories that roulant did not remember himself. he gave in detail the day in which everything went wrong, and told him of how they tried to help him for many years. this did nothing but make a lump in the prince's throat, his stomach in knots. those lumps and those knots, they'd eventually turn into an anger that he could not simply sweat out.

    his father passed away a few years afterwards, from a cough that was more red than anything. the queen insisted that roulant have his coronation soon, as she did not believe she could run the kingdom on her own with her own illness eating the life out of her every day. his coronation would be later that week, and the next day, his first declaration as king was to send all of those who were fluent in magic to the outer islands of dewmire, that were nothing but inhabited with the criminals of the kingdom.

    there was an outcry from those who he had forced out, and eventually citizens started to turn on them, outing their neighbors and friends who they knew had been involved in magic. they all were put onto ships, one by one, bringing absolutely nothing with them as they were forced across the calden sea to the northern isles of candre. only a few remained, all working under king roulant himself, though they were to give up their spellbooks and wands as those items were only to be used at times of war.

    it's been 50 years since those events, and the king's own son, dominic, has come of age. the king and queen offered to let dominic make one decree on his own, as prince, stating that they would stand by his decision. the prince said he would like to bring those who were banished to the northern isles back, a statement that made the king and queen go silent before unleashing a spew of anger. it wasn't until the prince shushed him themselves, and begged them to listen to his reasoning, that they finally cracked.

    reluctantly, at that. dominic swore that those who were not involved in that particular incident over all of this time should have never been punished. the king and queen bit their tongues, as they did give their son their word, and agreed. they swore that if it went downwards, though, they would never allow the boy to make that decision again, except for when they were finally dead.

    now, dewmire's ports have opened up as the prince looks onwards, watching and waiting as the ships begin to make their way to the shore...


    summary.

    dewmire is one of the most powerful kingdoms in the land, and it's reign is currently being changed. king roulant decided that after many years of taking care of the kingdom he knows and love, as soon as his son turns 18, he will begin to prep him into taking the crown before finally stepping down and letting the new era of dewmire begin. in the time of prepping him, however, dominic decided that the one law he would try to indite is to completely get rid of the ban of those who are able to dapple in magic. the law has been in place ever since roulant was 18, so almost 50 years of the discrimination against those who do practice magic have been held underway. they've been on an overcrowded island off the shore of dewmire, where they had been hosting prisoners for a time being.

    after some time, king roulant finally agreed to let the rule be lifted with some very tight guidelines. those with magic are not to use their magic for any reason whatsoever when on dewmire's main land. those who are seen using magic will be prosecuted and either hung or sent back to the northern isle's, this time to their prison compound.

    now, a few months after the law went into effect, the kingdom is finally opening its ports and allowing those who were casted aside all those years ago to finally come back into the kingdom.


    rules.

    i. at least 2 paragraphs per post. i understand low muse and whatnot but this is an advanced thread so most of the time, two paragraphs will be expected.

    ii. reservations will only be held for 24 hours before the spot is opened back up, as a way to keep from having people hold the same spots.

    iii. make your characters diverse and interesting!! this thread is beyond open for diverse backstories, faceclaims, plots, etc. not the same, cookie cutter format.

    iv. i am expecting you to put some effort into your forms. again, no cookie cutter format. if i feel as if your character has no effort in it at all, i will very likely ask you to do something to it or simply remove you from the characters list.

    v. no mary sues. again, create unique and interesting backstories. with this thread, i think it'd be very easy to have again, a cookie cutter character who's mother was a wizard who got casted away and all of these terrible things happen to her and she's so sweet and destine to be the next princess. none of that.

    vi. activity is key. if you don't plan on actually being involved in the thread, don't even track. if you're somebody i know who simply "tracks" threads and puts out apps but never actually engages, i will not be considering your form. that might seem harsh but i have put so much effort into this plot for it to just die out.

    vii. controversial characters are very, very welcome and encouraged. start drama ic, not ooc.

    viii. you can have as many characters as you'd like! just try to keep active on all of them. you don't have to post something for all of them each time but managing them so that they're all being used.

    ix. diverse faceclaims are wanted and very very encouraged!

    x. all feralfront rules apply, of course.


    characters.

    please note: the number of certain positions is subjected to change depending on the volume of attention this thread gets.


    currently, there is a BAN on NORTHERN ISLES CITIZENS. this ban will be lifted after we get around 6 more dewmire citizens, whether it be a princess or a knight or what. i know the spots are open but we need more dewmire citizens in order to really get started so please consider making one :)
