Myths of Arcana is an online roleplay group hosted on Discord and DeviantArt. It's a modern high fantasy themed setting with an emphasis on magic and exploration. Taking place in a richly crafted world, imbedded with mystery, the players influence and sway the story based on the choices they make.
Will you unveil secrets yet to be discovered, or will your dying world finally take it's last breath?
"At the eastern border of the empire of Caledonia, harsh peaks soared into the clouds above, reaching for the heavens as if they could rip the sky apart. What lay beyond this jagged mountain chain had long since been a mystery, as the bitter frosted slopes of Raygar's Reach had an infamous reputation of being impossible to scale. For hundreds of years Caledonians whispered and wondered at what slept dormant behind that unconquered wall of ice and earth; what secrets and treasures could be hiding past the frozen ridges.
At last this curiosity was finally quenched when the Rosarian Throne and Caladium Court, the royal family and parliament of Caledonia, were able to successfully manage an expedition past The Reach. This voyage, while history making, brought back only more questions in need of answers, for beyond the untamable peaks of ice and barren wasteland lay a mystical valley. This golden range seemed to exist separately from the rest of the known world, as if untouched by time. One might even dare to say it was protected from any outside influence for eons by The Divine Twins personally, if one believed in such things of course.
Myths and spirituality aside, the aptly named Goldenrod Valley was a new, fertile ground bursting with the opportunity for expansion and discovery. Magic seemed to be buzzing through the very air as the small expedition camp grew into a formidable colony. It was the place to go for those eager at the chance of a new start, and with parliament offering a sizeable pension for those willing to relocate to this far off settlement, volunteers were not hard to find. If that wasn't encouragement enough, the concentration of magic and arcane energy in the valley was something that hadn't been seen for hundreds if not thousands of years, which was headliner that quickly gathered the attention of the entire country.
The next airship to take the latest batch of citizens to the valley is scheduled to depart this coming season when the moon is full. Will you be among the ones braving the wilds in the search for long lost magic, helping our great country make it's mark while serving our House of Roses. Will you answer the call and find out what lies in the great beyond-"
A brief crackle of static cuts through the air as the holovision program you were halfheartedly listening to zaps out of existence. Energy-blackout curfews were something you still couldn't seem to get used to, despite their implementation occurring a year or so ago. A sigh ghosted past your lips as you took in your surroundings, the words and images from the rather cliché advertisement continuing to spin in your head as you became lost in thought. A new start... new opportunities, a way out of the dying and lackluster mundane; the chance to really discover what your fullest potential could be... Was that really worth leaving everything you knew for a irreversible tumble into the unknown?
Your gaze snapped to the world outside the nearby window, dimly lighting your current lodgings as the decaying and rotten sensation of weakly fading magic nearly smothered you.
Yes - If you stayed here a moment longer, you felt as if you would drown.
