hello, everyone, i hope you are all having a wonderful day/night/whatever time it may be for you ♥️
as stated in a previous post, vraelgard will be taking a hiatus for right now, as current events and personal lives are making upkeep of the group a current impossibility. however, i am very grateful to the friends who have already offered their aid for vraelgard's eventual reopening.
for right now, the hiatus remains "indefinite" as i cannot promise a specific reopening date. potentially, should things settle down next year and the global pandemic actually begin to be handled correctly and gotten under control, vraelgard may very well reopen at some point in 2021. but again, until life becomes some semblance of the "normal" it was before, vraelgard will be taking a break.
we will certainly make announcements when the time comes, but until then, i hope you all have a safe and happy new year.
As the leaves change color and fall from the trees, it's obvious winter is fast approaching in Vraelgard. With the beginning of December come the first flurries; coating the streets of Terra and changing the forest of Blackgrove into a winter wonderland.
Another festival is beginning to appear in high swing, as natives in both Terra and Blackgrove prepare for the winter solstice. It's apparently right around Glacia's holiday, but this year it seems there's another tradition that's taken the forefront of everyone's mind. During the solstice, they pray for the safe return of the light, lighting floating lanterns and setting them into the sky to guide the sun home. The idea of a perpetual night in the dead of winter is a nightmare, and it seems the lingering effect of Midnight has not been so easily forgotten by the citizens.
The day of the solstice arrives. Citizens gather in town squares and parks, family and friends together to set their prayers into the sky once it becomes dark. Thousands of lanterns illuminate the sky, and you can't help but feel it's probably more than usual. A majority of the populace sits up all night, trying to make sure the sun does indeed rise.
And it does. Of course it does... The balance between light and dark had been restored, right? The sun reaches its apex in the sky at noon...and then...
It remains.
* * * * * * * *
"Praying for the safe return of the sun, hm?" says a mysterious figure. "Well, you never really did think about what would happen if you didn't have night, right? Let's see how you feel about it."
* * * * * * * *
At first, the lingering of the sun in the sky can be brushed off. Days are getting longer again, right? But when it's stubbornly refused to move for several hours, people are beginning to grow worried. Where was Lumen to fix this? What was going on? Where was the Viscountess Dawn when she was most desperately needed?
The answers came in the form no one really wanted, but many could not be surprised. Another broadcast from Princess Lilliana, displayed across every screen in Vraelgard.
"Attention my citizens: It appears something grave has befallen our Sage of Light, Lumen. From the reports I have received from those in Whitfield, he has been petrified, just like Tenebrae before him."
Here, the princess pauses, looking uncertain. And then...after a moment, her silver gaze meets yours (somehow, inexplicably) with steely determination.
"For those not native to our world, I once again beseech your aid. I will give you more information on what must be done, and then...the rest is up to you. The fate of our country rests in your hands. May the Goddess Tania bless you."
With that, the broadcast ends, and additional information is received on your phones. Everything you need to know is down below:
WELCOME TO OUR SECOND STORY EVENT: HIGH NOON
What's going on?
Someone seems to have petrified the Sage of Light, Lumen, and stolen his elemental gem, the sunstone. With this power at their disposal, they have effectively ended night for the time being, creating a permanent noon effect.
Not so scary sounding, right? Well...
For those of you with Lumen as your patron, you will find that your powers have grown weaker, and you may feel physically ill. Talk about a bad side effect...
According to reports, those who stay in the sunlight for too long begin to become paler, translucent versions of themselves, losing in addition their sense of identity. If you want to avoid becoming a mindless light zombie, we suggest bringing along some form of protection, like a parasol. Among those affected includes Viscountess Dawn herself...
It seems the answer to saving Lumen lies in the lanterns that were lit for the solstice. Each lantern also came with a small amulet coin attached. If enough of them are gathered, the Mage of Light, Sun, seems to feel he can reverse the damage done to Lumen. As to where you'll find them? Well, they're guaranteed to be scattered over Terra, Blackgrove, and now available...Whitfield.
What will we find out in Whitfield?
Whitfield is known primarily for the rolling fields and farmland, in stark contrast to Blackgrove's forests. The entire area is covered in snow, as it's winter. Unfortunately there isn't much shade to be found here, but why should there be? It's the land of Light, after all!
The main city is unfortunately, for now, unavailable. It seems it's been overrun with the strange light-zombies, and is unsafe for those who haven't been affected. This is also where Lumen's temple is located, so you'll just have to bring the amulets to Sun at the castle in Terra.
The event will run until December 31st, at which point the conclusion will be posted and Vraelgard will officially be on hiatus. As noted in previous posts, this is not a permanent closing, but rather a temporary and much needed break until we feel comfortable reopening. Until then, please enjoy yourselves!
hello everyone! we hope you’re having a good day/night/whatever time it may be for you. unfortunately we come bearing some perhaps less than happy news for some of you, but it was determined to be what’s best for the well-being of our moderation team.
as of january 1st, 2021, vraelgard will be taking an indefinite hiatus. if/when we will reopen remains uncertain, as world events and stresses in our personal lives have made our continued upkeep of the group not possible at the moment.
what about high noon?
we will still be hosting the event, but for now it will be the last event.
what does this mean?
the group will no longer accept new applications, nor will we be hosting any events beyond high noon or performing activity checks. essentially, you’re indie now, but you are free to still play around in the vraelgard setting that has been revealed thus far. the masterlist will not be updated any further until a point where we possibly reopen.
the discord setting will unfortunately be closed after december 31st, but you are welcome to continue using tumblr however you see fit.
we hope everyone who was active in vraelgard enjoyed their time, and while we would love to come back some day, things are just too uncertain with current events. for now, vraelgard will rest. thank you for being part of it.
//hey hey! Echo here. I would like to ask for a semi-hiatus (if we don't do semi just give them a full) For Flare here (An OC) and Raphtalia (from Riseing of the shield hero) i kinda lost my job so im searching for a new one and its very time consuming.
hello hello! we do have semi-hiatuses so i’ll go ahead and get them both put on semi-hiatus for you and i wish you all the best of luck in your job hunt! we’ve all been there...
flare and raphtalia will be on semi-hiatus for you until december 21st!

Sending in a drop for Joe kido (rcliability) of digimon, not on the housing list, as well as bang jaehyun (fallinflcwers) housed in celestia c2. In their place I'd like to place a gentle reserve on shuuya kano of kagerou project because I am that person. The date is the 28th and my personal is @lights_on_u

in return, shuuya kano will be reserved for you until december 7th!
it was another short run and then tumblr refused to let me make a post about it. thank you tumblr. truly. sincerely.
if you didn’t see your ask, as always it got eaten by tumblr, so please resend it at your earliest convenience. in the meantime, happy meme friday and i hope you have a good weekend!
this is going to sound like a weird question but If there was a drama where the actors play themselves but in a sort of au setting, would we be able to pick them up as characters? i.e i app youngjae from the drama dream knight even though his actor is, techinally, played by the idol youngjae of got7. Sorry if the wording on this is a bit weird!! I just want to make sure before I put in a reserve
hello anon, thank you for the question!
in such a situation where the actor is playing themself (technically, although it is an au verse), we unfortunately would not allow it as it falls under the category of applying as a real person. sorry about that :(
you know, life comes at you fast, and sometimes despite there being a single application in the inbox, irl circumstances tell you “uh uh not today” and force you to clear the inbox like 2 days late. but we’re here fam. we’re here.
as december approaches, we have something big (and fun, hopefully) planned, so be prepared for more information as it comes ;3c
if you live in america, happy holiday tomorrow. if you don’t...ngl kinda wish that were me.

hello, minseok and welcome to terra!
you will be housed in sybella apartments S6, where you will find a sketchpad and can of spray paint. please try not to draw obscene things on important buildings, will you?
hello everyone! unfortunately due to irl circumstances, we were unable to complete an inbox run today, so if you didn't see your ask—don't worry. we'll aim for tuesday as a special treat instead ♥️
we win! it’s a little later in the day than i’d planned (’a little’) but hey, it still counts. as always, if we’ve missed your message, send it again and we’ll get to it in the next run!
Hello! Without prior reserve I'd like to apply as my original character Amarth. His application can be found on the application tab on my blog.
They just keep on coming, eh? Hello, Amarth, and welcome to our lovely Terra!
You will be housed in Celestia Apartments C6, where you will find an orange cat plush. Man... That’s a big stuffed animal! You’ll also find a plastic toy sickle. That isn’t even close to being the same thing as a scythe, guys, come on.
You’ll retain your luck curse ability. Just uh, be responsible about it, yeah?
