hey love bugs! we’ve got a few new members, so i went ahead and summed up the previous plot drops on the plot page for you. in short, all characters are currently being kept in the castle or neighboring alestria academy, housed and fed. while the aesatra family has just arrived and claimed innocence. find those summaries below the cut!
please like this when you read it so we can ensure everyone is on the same page plot wise !
find the plot drop tag here !
PLOT DROP I.
dragon spies infiltrate the welcoming ball, one attempts to kill the king as the rest burn the crest of the dragon noble family (believed to be the leaders of the rebellion) into the queen’s gardens. the fire is massive, but no lives are lost. the monarchs issue a ruling that nobody is to leave while they sort this out. everyone is housed at the academy or the palace. security is heightened, guards given to all nobility.
PLOT DROP II.
the dragon noble family surfaces after a long period of hiding, claiming they aren’t to blame and seeking refuge. they are given power dampeners to wear until the king trusts their story, and guards are tasked with monitoring their whereabouts while they travel the palace. they aren’t allowed to leave.
surely the monarchs didn’t think this grand party would keep uninvited guests out? the doors are so open, the guards stretched too thin, and the people too drunk. as the night progressed, it was too perfect a temptation not to bite.
and so they descended, spies of the rebellion. they’ll go completely unnoticed, drink wine alongside you, soak in every secret and attempt to suss out who might be sympathetic to their cause.
as of this post, dragons will be accepted under the circumstances found below the cut!
dragon spies [0/10]
some are quite sympathetic to plight of the dragons, the current monarchy has lasted too long. these people are trusted among the rebels, trusted enough to be sent into the den of lions. their mission is to record, observe, and report. further information will be delivered through the discord channel as needed. all dragons allowed in the roleplay right now will be spies, but not all spies for the rebellion must be dragons.
dragon order lore addition
a rare form. full shift into a winged beast. dragons fall into an elemental category, and have control over that element in any form. (water, fire, earth, air, ice, electricity, shadow, light) though rare, they tend to group together for power.
the dragons have developed a special charm that when worn, makes them smell like another order. they are unable to shift into that order, so they must be careful and contain their order forms. all dragons currently allowed will be acting as spies for the dragon rebellion lead by the dragon noble house of aesatra (learn more about that family on the nobility page !). these people should be of a lesser standing, and would otherwise go unnoticed.
nobility is still not being allowed yet.
if you are interested in playing a dragon that is not a spy, please contact the main so we can try to make it work.
the noble house of aesatra
this family is currently not playable, but players can use their knowledge of the family through threads or any ic related means. they are rumored to be the leaders of the rebellion, and have done nothing to prove otherwise.
lady helena aesatra, 157, dragon, charlize theron (npc)
lord tamriel aesatra, deceased, dragon, alan van sprang (npc)
child; tba aesatra, 45-50, dragon, not currently playable
child; tba aesatra, 34-42, dragon, not currently playable
child; tba aesatra, 26-33, dragon, not currently playable
child; tba aesatra, 21-24, dragon, not currently playable
we’re posting this a bit early so everyone can dive right in!
what better way to kick off the start of a roleplay other than a grand ball? death sure is scary, and the king is on edge. but he knows it would be insulting to demand invite everyone to court and not welcome them properly. the festivities will start with a grand feast and proceed into a lavish ball of dancing and drinks until the sun rises. all citizens of alestria are invited to attend, and it’s heavily implied that missing the ball would be suspicious. so dress your best and enjoy the free food and drink at the expense of the crown! ... wait, don’t our taxes pay for the crown’s needs? ... besides the point!
alrighty roo everyone, so the results of the poll fluctuated a bit, but it seems that friday at 4pm cst is the front runner !
the event will last one night in character, but ooc will last two-ish weeks. 6/4 - 6/21. we will post on the main when the event officially closes.
use the tag #solaria.event01 for anything event related, including outfits + starters !
we’ll make a post when the dash is officially open, so keep an eye out !
thunderbirds will no longer be an accepted race, all current characters in that order will be contacted to pick a new one. please pardon the main as i adjust the pages to reflect this, and thank you to the anon who pointed out what we’d done. i’m so sorry for taking that lore without properly researching it. it’s not an excuse, and i was wrong for doing it.
since the first spilling of blood, the blame for the rebellion has landed on the shoulders of the dragon noble house, the aesatras. they fled from their home, no sign of the family or attempt to protest this accusation.
until most of the family shows up at the front gate of the alestrian palace five days after their house crest burnt into the queen’s gardens.
they claim innocence, their family framed and fear ran them into hiding. the king and queen are known to be benevolent rulers, but this information is truly a test of their grace. and where is the oldest child of house aesatra?
a ruling is passed, until they can prove or disprove this claim, the aesatra is to live in the palace, heavily guarded and monitored, and wear power dampening cuffs that allow minimal use of their magic. they are allowed free range of the palace, but not to step foot off the grounds.
so what do you believe? is it a ploy? or is there truly another mastermind behind all of this? and why is their oldest son not in attendance?
the dragon noble family is now playable, save the lord, lady, and eldest son.
