The Drakos

the dragon riders of the east

Unlike the other nearby realms, Drakos does not have an overarching ethnicity. The people that call the Shattered Isles of the Drakonic kingdom home are a veritable melting pot, pulled from all corners of the world -- even lands beyond their neighbors, which means that there exists no belief of "strange" or "foreign" among their people. Though the practice has not been exercised in more than a century, the Drakos once "recruited" from all lands within the distance a dragon could fly, bolstering their numbers and leading to a very unique mix of cultures. Sadly, it is rumored that the dragonkin are growing fewer every year, and clutches are smaller still -- their very way of life seems at risk, and none are certain why.

INSPIRATION: the roman empire, dragonriders of pern, R.A. Steffan's dragonrider series, the targaryens

Teasers: uh dragons, extremely diverse in ways the other realms are not, do use some magics and the magic of the theravik and khaerians can be found among them as well due to ancestry, militaristic culture, language basis is latin-spoken and korean-written

FURY & FIRE

Staff Search

With Fury & Fire coming along in development, we are opening our doors for potential staff members. All interested parties will be given until the site is ready to decide if they want to commit, and to ensure we as a team mesh and have a linear idea for the site!

We will be looking for:

The Coder - While I (Ember) am alright at coding, I want to bring on someone with equal or better skills for the development of the skin, templates, and the like.

The Artist - I am looking for someone with graphic design skills to aid in both skin development, tumblr aesthetic, and possibly assisting members in styled avatars, etc.

The Organizer - The site will need someone good at managing and editing claims and the like. Your responsibility will be primarily keeping important claims, sign-ups, and other such things up to date and organized.

The Advertiser - Lastly, I will need someone willing to do the grunt work of advertising Fury & Fire on Tumblr, directories, and sites.

If any of these positions catch your interest and you desire to be part of a team on a fantastic High Fantasy site, please message @furyfirerpg directly or contact me, Ember, on Discord at Ember#1832!

We will be looking for staff members within the next week! If you are interested, feel free to contact us via Message, or you can DM me (Ember) on Discord: Ember#1832 and we can talk!

so i see in some of the teasers that some of the cultures have two completely different languages used?? how does that work?

Good question, Anon! So our teasers are worded very loosely and with little context, we promise this will be explained in far greater detail in our actual lore. But to sum up: The languages of Fury & Fire are made up fantasy languages, not exact copies of real world, therefore we are taking the artistic liberty of smashing up real world inspiration in ways that would never work in the real world.

For example - the Theravik language is Welsh-sounding but Futhark-written. This basically means that if a character wants to “speak the language” in a post, we encourage using Welsh (even if it’s terrible Google Translate Welsh), but if they wanted to do a moodboard or aesthetic, having Futhark rune images would be totally fine as the written language of Theravik looks very similar.

Same goes for Barcillians. Their language is Spanish-sounding but Arabic-written, which means Spanish can be used in posts for speech, while written Arabic can be used as a visual for aesthetics.

I hope this makes sense!

[furyfirerpg]

super excited for this! everything looks beautiful!! are you guys planning on releasing a site discord during development?

We will be releasing a Discord soon, yes!

THE BARCILLIANS

the empire beyond the spires

Through the passes of the great Southspires is the kingdom of Barcid, a country known for being both beautiful and deadly -- considering it is surrounded on all sides by ocean, mountain, or the Great Waste of the southern desert. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- the sheer monstrosity that is its geographical surroundings, the people of Barcid are known to be hardy, intelligent, and impeccably inventive. They see the magic used by their neighbors as a crutch, often deeming it dangerous and unreliable. Because of this, the Barcillians lean upon science and invention, making them perhaps the most advanced of the nearby realms.

INSPIRATION: the ottoman empire, dorne of game of thrones

Teasers: magic is seen as taboo or a secret to hide, quite liberal in the ways of love and gender identity, an empire without an emperor (wait for it :D), language is a combination of spoken spanish-based and written arabic-based, scientific and mathematical geniuses

will there be face claim reserves opening up soon? i have the perfect idea for a character!

There will be reservations opening prior to site launch! As for when, that will be determined soon as we see how quickly our timeline of development moves. Thank you for your excitement!

[furyfirerpg]

please tell me you will have more than just a couple of different white people kingdoms!

We will! We are introducing the other two initial cultures in the next day or two, which will balance things out nicely. Excellent question, and we hope you enjoy our continued teasers.

FURY& FIRE

an ooc concept

It is extremely exciting to see our follower count going up! As Fury & Fire works hard to prepare for opening, we thought we would take a moment to discuss our OOC vision -- what to expect, and what we hope to see.

First and foremost, we feel it pertinent to stress that Fury & Fire will be realistic in as many ways as it is fantastical. Our aim is to generate exciting, intense plots full of drama, intrigue, and risk. None of our cultures will be idealistic -- they will all have their social and economical flaws (prejudice, mysogyny, misandry, all of these are likely to be encountered at some point). We understand that this is likely not ideal for some potential members, and we apologize! It is our belief that these struggles give characters an endless drive to overcome and push through ordeals.

Secondly, we want our members to be (and feel like they can be) proactive in driving a variety of site-wide plots and subplots! While we will have a loose idea of what direction we want to take things, especially in the beginning, eventually the staff hope to loosen up the reins and let players ultimately decide where the story goes.

So, if realistic struggles and the idea of visibly affecting the story and path of the world is something you're into, Fury & Fire will be ideal for you! We hope to see you all soon, and will be launching a Discord within the next couple of days as we gear up to run a staff search.

The Khaerians

the heartland kingdom

Located in the heartland kingdom of Rhone are the Khaerians, a conservative and well-to-do people that revel in intrigue, ambition, and courtly matters. While the vast majority of Khaerians live in small towns and villages throughout the kingdom, it is the cities -- especially the capital city of Dornlach -- where "all the fun is to be had". Khaerians are known as being standoffish, highly reserved, and quite severely patriarchal compared to their neighbors.

INSPIRATION: medieval europe, shows such as "Reign" and "The Tudors", King's Landing, book series by Tamora Pierce and R.A. Steffan

Teasers: users of sigil-based magic with a multitude of capabilities, a proper absolute monarchy, the land is divided into marks overseen by marquesses, their language is french-based, all about that courtly intrigue and entertainment

The Theravik

children of the northern woods

The Theravik are a nomadic people that call the great northern Wylderwood home and kingdom, though they are ruled by no king. Their habits of isolation -- more out of necessity than choice these days -- means that their southern neighbors often see them as wild, unpredictable, even frightening. Untouched by time in a lot of ways, their lives are simple ones dictated by the seasons, or by the ebb and flow of the natural world around them. Beneath the veil of simplicity, however, exists a culture steeped deep in tradition and a belief in justice, fairness, and morality.

INSPIRATION: ancient nordic & celtic peoples, game of thrones wildlings and children of the woods, the series "Vikings"

Teasers: Magic-users of both elemental and shapeshifting abilities, nomadic, matriarchal, seven clans, language is a combination of welsh-sounding and futhark-written, collective bad-asses

FURY & FIRE

a high fantasy rpg

Fury & Fire is a high fantasy roleplay coming soon to Jcink. With a focus on character development and intrigue, the world that makes up Fury & Fire introduces four different cultures, all based on common "fantasy" tropes found in a multitude of popular media. As we develop, readers will likely see familiar aspects from the likes of Arthurian legend, the show Vikings, multiple book inspirations such as Dragonriders of Pern and Tamora Pierce novels, as well as sprinklings of real-world ancient cultural influences.

Our goal is to create an immersive world not dictated by one overarching plot, but as a playground in which character and member involvement has a visible effect on the story. It will be a careful balance to strike, but as we see it -- not impossible.

Currently, we are just in the early stages of plot development. This is what we can share so far:

Yes, there will be magic

There will be a bestiary of mythical creatures

There will be four playable cultures.. initially. We may later expand this.

We will be Premium Jcink, rated 3-3-3

There will likely be war and battle plots, eventually
