Synopsis
Syvia is a dangerous land filled with constant wars from tensions between humans and elves, forbidden magic, and creatures lurking in the forests that only exist in the depths of your nightmares. But you, my dear player, call this land home!
You play as a dragon hunter working for a renowned hunting guild named the Hallowdawn. When a High Dragon, with power like no one has seen before, begins terrorizing the lands, you and three (eventually four) other guild members are hired to take down this beast! Little do any of you know, this dragon is truly an Elven Goddess seeking vengeance for the wrongdoings on her people several years ago.
Of course, this is all while you struggle to navigate your relationships, some of which are just as dangerous as the word around you.
What happens when you finally have something to lose?
Have you and your teammates bitten off more than they can chew?
Can you really kill an ancient goddess?

Romance Options
Roslyn Pike stands at 5’10" and has a lankier build. His brunet hair is long and wavy and he often wears it loose or pulled back. His eyes are a warm brown, they compliment the golden hues of his brown skin. Roslyn prefers earthy tones, lots of browns and green. When he’s not wearing his leather armor, he enjoys loose tunics and leather pants. Overall, he prefers his fashion to be on the plainer side. The only relatively “frivolous” thing he wears is a silver ring on a chain around his neck.
He grew up in a small border village with his parents and two younger siblings. Although they had been poor, they had been happy. His parents ran a shop that bought and sold trinkets from all over Syvia. He joined the Hallowdawn in order to provide another source of income for his family.
Deidre is 5’5" and has a heavyset build. It is easy to get lost in the way a smile always lights up the brown of their eyes. Their hair is black, and coily, the ends brush against their shoulders due to the fact they always wears it loose. Their skin is a deep brown, resembling a glittering onyx. Dee is a mixed bag when it comes to fashion, but they often find themself drifting to a more feminine style. They enjoy bright colors such as crimsons and purples. It really depends on the day and their mood to determine what they wear. Loose tunic with leather pants one day and the next they look like they walked straight out of their old clan in loose dresses with no shoes. The only consistency is the copious amounts of gold jewelry they always wear.
Dee didn’t always live in on the border. In fact, they comes from a Clan deep within the lands of Dal’aenna. When asked, they will say they just didn’t feel at home there, but the smile never fully reaches their eyes when their past is being discussed. They have been a member of the Hallowdawn for years now and prefers to concentrate on that portion of their life.
Helena Blackbourne stands tall at 6’ and has a wide, muscular build. Long blonde hair it usually tied back into a braid to keep it out of her way. Sometimes her grey eyes almost seem to almost blend in with the paleness of her skin when the sun hits them just right. Helena is rarely out of her armor. Like ever. There’s rumors that she even sleeps in it (which has yet to be debunked). She does take great care of the golden metal of the plated armor. It always looks flawless.
Ser Helena, unsurprisingly, comes from nobility, specifically House Blackbourne. Her family is known for their wealth and lordship over the town of Everborough. She lived a more than comfortable life and wanted for nothing all throughout her childhood. Although, she and her family had differing ideas of what she should do with her life. Her parents had planned to marry her off to another rich lord, but Helena defied their wishes and swore herself to knighthood. After an incident within one of the families she previously served, Helena joined the ranks of the Hallowdawn to earn back any honor she thought she lost.
Helena is gender-locked for woman and non-binary player characters only
Viatrix is the shortest of the group at 5’4" with an athletic build. Her hair is a deep brown color and loose waves fall just beneath her shoulders when its down, which is often. Its known to get in her way at times, so oftentimes she wears it half-up.Her eyes are a glacial green that only add to the coldness of her stare. Freckles cover her tanned face and trail down her neck beneath the collar of her shirt. She tends to wear mostly dark colors, favoring blacks and greys. She wears lots of leather, including many belts lining her waist which she claims are for her small satchels to carry Gyinni knows what. Thigh high leather boots always compliment the look. And for days that require extra drama, she dons a black cloak with a hood that hides the majority of her face.
Viatrix’s history is a short one, mostly due to the fact she was entirely raised by The Guild, a large and powerful band of mercenaries that span across Syvia—and fierce rivals of the Hallowdawn. Her parents were unfortunate victims to The Guild, having failed to pay their debts. So, they paid with their lives and their only daughter. However, being raised by your family’s murderers creates an odd internal conflict seeing as how they are the only family she has ever known.
