| ALCRYST what is your legend? |
| original high fantasy horse & human roleplay |
 - - - summary Welcoming both humanoid and equid characters, we promote complete immersion in one species exclusively, dominantly one but highlights of the other, or both equally with ease. Modeled after large-scale video games in text format, we are massive in size and abundant in options, a journey genuinely forged by characters. Create your own languages, riding methods, creatures, nature, character species, and more that can become a fundamental part of the site for years to come. Shape our path with your own business, army, city, herd--from your smallest intentions to your most intricate dreams. Desire a pet cloud? A clone that you can control? To die, posses another, die again, and recycle until you are more banshee than mortal? To wear clothes of pure lightning and dance at the bottom of the sea, bathed in harmless flames and surrounded by northern lights? To speak into the wind and have someone on the other side of the realm hear it? To capture stars and bleed ichor? Anything is possible here. We'll make it happen. You'll make it happen. One-of-a-kind systems knit throughout every land provide constant entertainment, even without the participation of other roleplayers, lending endless goals and a uniquely customized experience based on your individual preferences. From blacksmithing to gladiators, alchemy to journalists, rogues to family, magic to might, rivalry to friendship, ballroom to battlefield... we are a site pioneering a new frontier in roleplaying. An original genre where clichés are shed and fresh vigor kindled, you will find acceptance, encouragement, creativity, and opportunity abound.  - - - lifestyle Although Alcrystan society is archaic compared to our modern technology, it is more than a medieval world. Magic is as common as light and yet each touch of it is highly treasured and admired, respected despite the normalcy. Nature is valued as another spirit, equal to your soul, and the animals are revered, even when they must be sacrificed for survival. Differences are accepted even if they cannot be understood, and strangers are brethren even as they are held in suspicion. Strength thrives in such a bloodthirsty world where bandits lurk, crime infests, and carnivorous horses prowl. The magnitude of this standard depends on your location, however--in the Outskirts or Wilderness, every whisper could be lethal, even beauty a feral raptor. In the city Morrene, unity is their guard, both comfort and amiability flavoring encounters. In the city Faewin, the rock it's carved into reflects its occupants: distant, cold, and suspicious, albeit grand and powerful. You might just find that, in Alcryst, who you are depends on where you are.  - - - environment The world is alive. Stone its skeleton, soil its flesh, heaven its framing lashes--it embraces you, challenges you, a mother and a predator. The plant-life of Alcryst is rich, exotic, and quite foreign to our Earthen familiarity. The sheer size dominates ours; towering trees that graze mountains, leaves stretching like a natural ceiling, flowers that can cradle an adult. Beyond mere reach and density, the colors flourish in vibrancy and hue. From azure trunks to magenta leaves, the environment has a hypnotic spectrum. Ever-changing, much of the vegetation shifts in tint and motion, as alive as the pulse beating in your own veins. It is not unusual for a tree to grab you, a flower to bloom within seconds, or for the forest itself to sing. Overhead, the sky is painted in new shades before your eyes, revolving between colors throughout the day. Stars often glimmer beside the suns, bursts of fire and smoke, of glitter and beams all frequent occupants of the great canvas. You may even feel it cast a specific spotlight on you should you catch some divinity's attention. Through the shadows prowl animals of superior intellect, with elaborate appearances and alien physiques. While some mirror our customary creatures, others are remarkably bizarre. Unleash your own species in Alcryst and forge legacies for years to come! Similar enough for us to comprehend but different enough to invoke strokes of surrealism, Alcryst is a world apart from our own... one that exists only in dreams.  |
