SETTING

[break][break] The World of Euladel is a roleplay forum that exists in medieval times and can firstly be described in an intrusional fantasy setting. It takes inspiration from several works of fiction including, He who Fights with Monsters, Dungeons and Dragons, Game of Thrones, The Stormlight Archive, The Wheel of Time, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Final Fantasy, and many many more. Magic exists in an otherwise "normal" world, but is relatively new, only having been introduced to the world with the coming of "The Tide." About four hundred ago, a portal opened up atop the great mountain Verden Halsen, and from it came five large dragons. The brief opening of this portal allowed some of their astral magic to spew forth into Euladel in a wave known as The Tide. As this Tide came over the world, it had a variety of effects: Creating those blessed with magic, now known as the Tidetouched, scarring the landscape, and mutating the creatures of the land. [break][break] While World of Euladel does allow for some more sandbox and open-world adventures, the primary setting of the forum takes place in a single town by the name of Roark's Rest. Roark's Rest is a smaller mountain town that is brimming with life and a sense of community. The town works together with its citizens and local guild associations to maintain a stable and mostly self-sustained economy, allowing those who live there to do precisely what they desire to find peace and happiness.

systems

[break][break] For World of Euladel's systems and play, Characters have a series of soft-stats, cultural boons (racial abilities), talents, Essences and Essence abilities that together help create a more unique and customizable version of character classes and their spells or abilities. Character species (races) include the typical fantasy variants such as humans, dwarves, elves, and more, even including an "outworlder" species that allows you to essentially create your own if you do not find a species that piques your interest. While some talents are focused on gathering and crafting, others are more combat-centric, allowing you to create the perfect character for what you intend to play! [break][break] As stated before, while the world of Euladel does have a vast world with a plethora of things to do, places to explore, and quests to take, all characters at the launch of the site will be citizens of the town of Roark's Rest. Roark's Rest is a very tight-knit community while traders and travelers continue to flow through the village, some even end up staying. It has beautiful scenery, with a large nearby lake and several rivers, as well as forests, mines, and fertile fields, allowing for the mountain town to have easy access to gathering a great number of resources. [break][break] When it comes to adventures, characters will also be able to take up a variety of tasks throughout the village, some aiding the village directly, while other requests come from the local guilds. Things like dungeon exploring, locating and retrieving rare crafting ingredients, or even fighting dangerous beasts! While much of these quests can be taken on by yourself as a solitary writer, or with a group, some of them will be taken on with a designated Dungeon Master, helping you flesh out some of the more intricate details and happenings of your quests and adventures.
