This RP is set on the planet
Hérion and more specifically on the island of
Nondra.
Hérion is divided into four countries; imagine it like you would divide an orange into four slices/segments. All the countries meet on one side of the planet equally between north and south (compared to our planet this would be at the equator). They don’t meet on both sides as on one side there is the great circular sea, also called the
Thea. As this is the only sea on the planet you’ll find pirates sailing around here, they are quite peaceful though. In the middle of the Thea there is a large island. This is the island of the Gods and the leaders and advisors of the countries, Nondra.
In the north there is the country of
Iséril, also knows as the
Earth country. Iséril has many valleys and small mountains and the animal life is rich here and it houses some of the most sought after herbs, flowers and plants. As the country is in the north there is glaciers and snow in the middle of it and around that it is like a perfect paradise. This is also where mythological creatures roam, like centaurs and winged horses.
The country in the west is called
Elil, or also the
Fire country. Elil is a land of deserts and volcanoes. Though there is not much water here there are a couple of lakes and oases close to the border to Iséril, so most of the residents of Elil are situated either there or at the Thea. The volcanoes are in the middle of the country and they are very active, so there is not much life at all close to them except the dragons that live in them. You might find some nomads and salesmen wandering across the great deserts of the country though.
The great deserts of the country Elil are also a part of the country in the south,
Elval. This land is also called the
Wind country. As in Iséril there is glaciers and snow in the middle of Elval. The glaciers and snow face the deserts close to Elil on one side of the land and on the other it meets the large mountains of
Leleah. As you get to the other side of the mountains you will find a beautiful sight as Elval is a lighter version of Iséril.
The country in the east is called
Narion or the
Water country. It consists of numerous lakes and rivers. Enough water to last a lifetime and the perfect amount of sunlight creates some of the best harvests in all of Hérion. This land is host to the only population of merpeople and a large population of elven creatures.
As mentioned earlier Nondra is the island in the middle of the Thea. This is considered to be a holy place, and it is also the most beautiful place in the whole of Hérion. The Gods,
Sólith and
Amumir, created this island to be the gathering place of the leaders of the countries. There is a bridge leading to the island in every country and each of these bridges is guarded by an elemental creature. On the bridge between Nondra and Iséril there is a guard called
Mar. He is made entirely of dirt, soil and moss from the very country of Iséril. On the Elil bridge you will find
Fea, a fierce creature made of volcanic rock, engulfed by flames. The bridge to Elval is guarded by
Rhé, a female wind elemental. She is not visible all the time but sometimes one may see her roaming about high above the bridge. And lastly on the bridge between Narion and Nondra you’ll find
Sif. She is made out of the waters of Narion and lies below the bridge.
There are no more than the two Gods here (the third one you are going to read about is not considered as one by the people), Sólith and Amumir that is. They are the two suns circling around the planet. They do not have much power over the people or the land though. That is why they created
Ellamiel, a female earthly Goddess with the appearance of a human but with special powers granted to her by the two Gods. She lives on the island of Nondra with the animals there but has the ability to create a telepathic link to creatures outside and control natural powers if necessary. The Gods can’t take a physical form but they try their best to keep Ellamiel company and they provide her with anything she wishes for as they still have their creating ability on the island. At last one can mention that it is the Gods who have the power to bring the planet to its end. When the suns don’t shine anymore all life on the planet dies eventually and Sólith and Amumir cease to exist.
-----------------------------------
A couple of decades ago a movement rose against the leaders of the countries which resulted in the perishing of the leaders. All four countries were in total chaos until the people finally managed to put the revolutionaries’ havoc to its end. The peace was returned but new leaders never emerged to take control of the countries again so they started to fall apart, slowly but steadily. The Gods kept their faith in that some people would emerge and take the lead of the countries, but as time went by their hopes faded and they had only one option left.
-----------------------------------
Ellamiel woke up to the voices of Sólith och Amumir.
“Please, Ellamiel, you need to summon people to take the place as the new leaders” Amumir said.
“I’m… I’m afraid it might be too late soon, the people have not acted as we wished they would” Sólith added.
“We have chosen ten individuals, each playing a part in the system. Four emperors, one for each country, four advisors, one for each emperor and two others, which we will grant the same powers as you have and make them half-gods, you will not have to be lonely again.” Amumir said as the Gods’ presence faded away.
A tear of joy fell down Ellamiel’s cheek and down on her pillow.
“Thank you” she whispered.
-----------------------------------
Ellamiel has now summoned all ten people chosen by the Gods and they will now make their journey to Nondra. They will spend time on the island getting to know each other, training to meet their destiny etc. You make the story into what you want it to become.

-----------------------------------
Name: Lydia
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Species: Elf
Country of origin: Narion
Summoned to be: Empress of Iséril
Personality: Lydia is a very calm person. She has the qualities of a good leader and cares for the people around her. She tries to see the good in everyone and keeps a good outlook at life. Despite all this Lydia can be very withdrawn at times and hard to reach.
Appearance: Average height and slim body, rosy complexion, brown and long curly hair and emerald green eyes. Usually she wears a long dress.
History: Born and raised by two caring parents in Narion Lydia had a happy childhood. Even though she didn’t have that many friends she enjoyed being at home helping her mother in the house and spending time with her father working on their farm while not being at school. Mostly she took care of the horses in the stable. As time went by Lydia grew into a beautiful young lady and she felt it was time to leave home to travel around in the three other countries and maybe even settle down somewhere. Now that she was summoned to Nondra she is unsure of if she will be a suitable empress.
