Welcome

Remember from ashes comes beauty.

[thefallenorder-if]

The Fallen Order is set within the wondrous world of Ialarath. Wherein you’ll fight to rebuild the lost Order of Perzys; betrayal and blood following you.

May you always find your way.

From the fires we burn…

From the ashes we rise…

And from the wreckage we thrive…

Those words— a segment from the Chant of Light— echoed all across the landscape of Ialarath; from the arid deserts of Croerus to the woodsy alpines of Adere. For they were the rally cry of the Order of Perzys.

The Riders of the Vokēdre.

Great winged birds— borne from the ashes of the old kingdom— sent from the heavens themselves to protect the realm. Only a select few being honored to ride atop them; to be called their jorrāelagon— their bond mate— and become part of the Order.

Life was peaceful underneath their protection, people and animals alike flourished, and that’s how it stayed for centuries.

Until the Order fell; betrayed by one of their own that had been tainted. Having become transfixed by the whispered promises of the narys. The surviving members had no choice but to flee after the initial attack and within a century the Order was nothing more than a whispered prayer at night.

The Great Knights of Legend falling to the cruel hands of time. The narys influence growing that much more, left unchecked without the Vokēdre, the once peaceful world collapsed bit by bit. With no hope of order ever being restored.

That is until you found a seemingly abandoned egg while traversing through the Kasta Woods.

An event that would change your life, and the fate of Ialarath, forever…

Nymerian/Nymeria [M/F] - The Mage

28 [5’7” | Electric Blue Eyes | Silvery-White Hair]

The one who tells you what the egg you found actually is— who also happens to be your best friend— and urges you to keep it hidden. They’ve been by your side through everything and have never given you a reason to doubt the validity of their words. Some may say they’re sullen but you know that they have a gentle heart and a courageous spirit.

Xander/Xariah [M/F] - The Warrior

29 [6’3” | Silver Eyes | Onyx Black Hair]

While N is sullen and introverted; X brings cheer and life to your group. With a laugh that could make anyone smile, they do their best to make sure you know how much you mean to them. And they don’t hesitate to uproot their entire life in order to help you on your journey. You don’t know where you’d be without them by your side.

Archer/Ariana [M/F] - The Rogue

27 [5’9” | Emerald Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]

A dashing individual— with a quick wit and flirtatious smile— that you meet on one of your first stops. Their knowledge of the land, and their proficiency with the daggers concealed on their person, allowing them easy access into your party. But is that what they’ll stay? Or will their presence bring something more to your life?

Shaeriel [M/F] - The Half-Breed

27 [5’11” | Hazel Eyes | Light Brown Hair]

You’ve heard of the rholagon— the spawn of the narys and a humanoid race— but you’d never thought you’d actually meet one. Let alone meet one that didn’t fit the horror stories that describe them. You were expecting a bloodthirsty monster, trying to figure out how to fit in, but instead you find a being that’s scared of its own shadow. With a soft smile and a gentle composure. Maybe things aren’t always as they seem to be after all.

Erin/Erina [M/F] - The Rider

29 [6’1” | Violet Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]

When you reached the Floating Isles you were expecting to be greeted by crumbled pillars and withered structures. However, the moment you step in, you’re greeted to cool embrace of metal on your throat. Sharp violet eyes staring at you from underneath a darkened cowl. It seems that you aren’t the last after all but will you be able to find a common ground with this standoffish individual? Will you see the soft side they’ve hidden away for years? Or will they always remain something you’ll never understand?

DEMO TBA

[thefallenorder-if]

Do the Vokēdre come in different colors? And if so, do we get to choose what ours looks like?

They can. As of right now? No, yours isn’t fully customizable like that. Though, as I get more familiar with coding and get more of the story laid out, I can go back and add all of those options.

Are there any characters we’ll meet that were going to be ROs but were cut? I know that happens sometimes when writing and planning.

There’s one that I can automatically think of but I decided not to add them to list because I wasn’t sure if that would be a omething people would like to see. And you don’t see them in the flesh for a while it’s more of a dream thing for the first portion.

The character in question is not a good person, I wouldn’t say they’re irredeemable, but they’re very aware that they’ve done horrible things and that doesn’t really bother them.

What do the Vokēdre look like? And are we allowed to call them phoenixes?

You are more than welcome to call them phoenixes— both on here and within the game— Vokēdre is the old tongue for what they are. Phoenix is the common tongue (very few people speak the old tongue now).

Vokēdre have two forms; they’re more common form:

Which is how they usually spend their time, but they also have a form that they take when they need to protect their jorrāelagon (rider) but it takes a lot out of them. And it can’t be maintained for too long or it’ll end up draining them too much.

It’s the classic inferno bird form.

I already love the concept of this IF just from the intro post! If you're cool with answering ROs asks(totally understandable if you're not) I have one! How would the ROs react to a MC who gets all shy and embarrassed whenever the two of them touch? Thanks and congrats on taking the first steps of showing the world your creative project!

Nymerian/Nymeria: Wouldn’t understand it at all but would be used to the reaction— being your best friend and all— and, because of that, they wouldn’t really point it out or think twice about. It’s just a fact of life with you; though they’d internally think something was wrong with them to get you to react in such a manner.

Xander/Xariah: They’d laugh and definitely try to pinch your cheeks. It may be something they’re used to but it’ll never not be funny to them. Of course, if they noticed that you were getting uncomfortable they’d stop immediately and be apologetic about the laughing.

Archer/Ariana: Teasing. They’d quip about how it was suddenly getting hot in here— teasingly pulling at the collar of their shirt— and step closer to you; they’d only pull back when the MC got over it or they noticed you were growing uncomfortable.

Shaeriel: They’re exactly like that too, which would cause an endless cycle of being embarrassed, being shy, and then being both. You’d make quite the pair that’s for sure.

Erin/Erina: Wouldn’t really think twice about it. They don’t touch people that often anyway and would simply chalk it up to being a surprised reaction that they suddenly did so with you. As a plus it wouldn’t be that common of an occurrence (for your poor MC).

My MC when E holds a blade to their throat "understandable"

E’s main objective is to protect their Vokēdre (phoenix). They had no idea who you were or how you got to the Floating Isles; a feat only capable for the people who figure out the trials. They thought the narys had finally figured out how to. They’re very thankful that this wasn’t the case (not that they’d showcase that).
