Setting

Nightwatchers is set in an alternate universe, a reimagination of the present world where everything that may or may not have yet existed can be canon. Historical events and information, unless they are related to the established site canons, will be left vague and open for interpretation. Myths and folktales from all around the world will be featured and integrated into the main storyline. This site lets players visualize their ideal (and not-so-ideal) worlds and help create them. For example, WW2 will be introduced as an integral period in fulfilling the Tiyanak’s schemes (for all wars, chaos, and catastrophes are caused by it), confusing the Baganis and Pusongs who are far too distracted with the human wars.

Major cities like New York, London, Dubai, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, and Hong Kong will be present in the site while Manila will be the central location. The main headquarters of Nightwatchers will also be based in Manila while auxiliaries are stationed in these big cities. More cities may be added in the future, depending on site plot progression and development of our RP community that can help collaborate with storytelling and worldbuilding.

Moreover, this will not be the only part of the earth that is available for roleplay! The World of Veil, Santinakpan, has two existing realms—”Daigdig”, the Veil of Thunder and “Kalibutan”, the Veil of Clouds—separated to keep the world’s balance. Our world will be located in Daigdig, but the world of the Nunos and Diwatas will be in Kalibutan. Most of the interactions will be at Daigdig but there will be a few interactions happening in Kalibutan. Kalibutan appears the same as Daigdig, sharing the same space except for the lands are clustered in one massive continent, clustered into eight major regions.

Plot

The world is ending. No one knows when or how but the creatures of the Old Worlds know that the end of days is looming. It has been written in the records of the Nunos, heard from the stories of the Diwatas, and chronicled in the legends of humans: when the time comes that the God’s children are born, it is only a matter of centuries before the Fated Battle.
[break][break]

The year was 2020: the world has entered a new era under the wrathful eyes of the Tiyanak. The Nightwatchers, an underground organization led by the Baganis responsible for driving away the dark forces, has been searching for an ancient relic for several decades already. It is called the Old Revelation: an artifact that details the prophecy about the end of the world and the heroes that will come to save it. It is the only divine intervention they need to finally defeat the creatures of the night led by the Tiyanak. However, no one knows what or where the Old Revelation is: all those who know about it have probably heard of its existence in the legends and myths.
[break][break]

As the attacks in the cities have become more and more apparent, Nightwatchers are becoming more and more restless in finding the clue to defeat the Tiyanak. For several times already in history, the Baganis have fallen under the scheming and manipulation of evil itself. The Tiyanak is relentless, knowing the end of days is nigh and that the only power that can defeat, from its twin sibling Tala, is just around the corner, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
[break][break]

The problem, however, is no one knows where Tala is.
[break][break]

Two years later, a Diwata has found clues to where the Old Revelation is located. Suddenly, all the years of hardwork has found them a clue to where the prophecy lies that may lead them to where Tala is hiding. But is it really the Old Revelation? Or is this another plot designed by the Tiyanak to lead them astray? Will they be able to defeat its forces and save humanity from the impending doom?

A/N

Hello! I'm back~ I've been inspired writing lately about this idea especially since the fifth and final book of the series was just released the other day. (I'm still waiting for it to be delivered but I hope I get it soon so I can finish it! Also, the photo into the spoiler tag is just me flexing my own copies, don't mind me.) Here is a quick look about the site's settings and plot. I thought it's nicer to have the story not concentrated in Manila, but also integrating other places as well and building on the story with plots inspired from other country's folklore and mythology. Plus, these major cities are also where most of the Filipino diaspora are located so I felt like it was a nice touch. Also, the plot is more like the exposition of the first chapter of the story. I feel like there is a lot more stories we can draw with the main plot involving the search for Tala around the world.
[break][break]

All in all, I'm still waiting if people do get interest collaborating with this project and providing their personal touch into the Janus Silang universe with legends and myths from their own countries. I think there's a lot more potential into this if the project is able to draw connections from their own experiences and knowledge as well. But nothing's really final yet! Just let me know if you guys have something in mind.

Initial updates:[break][break]

• Exploration & Worldbuilding: I am thinking of making subforums as site shop items, and/or quests involving the creation of new places for plotting. Nothing too final![break][break]
• Class & Race and BAT: I settled with making three playable races (Bagani, Pusong, humans) with semi-playable companions of three races as well (Nuno, Diwata, Mangindusa). More of them in the next update![break][break]

Let me know if you’re interested and/or if you want to help! You can PM me here or at my Discord!
