| ALCRYST what is your legend? |
| original high fantasy horse & human roleplay |
 - - - summary Welcoming both humanoid and equid characters, we allow our writers to focus on one species or dabble in both. Modeled after large-scale video games in text format, we are massive in size and abundant in options, a journey genuinely paved by characters. Create your own languages, creatures, nature, and more to become a fundamental part of the site for years to come. Shape our path with your own business, guild, herd--from your smallest idea to your most intricate dream. Desire a sentient whirlwind as your companion? A clone of your truest self? To die, possess, and revive until you walk as a banshee? To clad yourself in lightning and dance along the sea-bottom? 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 weave throughout every land, providing constant entertainment even without the participation of other roleplayers. Truly unique amongst forums, we offer endless goals and a fully customized experience based on your individual preferences. From blacksmiths to gladiators, magic to might, rivalry to fellowship, 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 its every touch is highly treasured, respected despite its normalcy. Nature has its own soul and animals are revered, even when they must be sacrificed for survival. Strength thrives in such a bloodthirsty realm where bandits lurk, crime infests, and carnivorous horses prowl. Within the city walls, every smile might mask murderous intentions, and the wild's breathtaking beauty is wrought with danger beyond the bounds of civilization. Free of traditional inhibitions, the culture is oddly balanced, commonly sharing a drink as brethren yet unwilling to reveal even their name. As likely to slit your throat as to lay in your bed, trust is rare when the surface shrouds plots far deeper than they charade.  - - - environment The world is alive. Stone its skeleton, soil its flesh, heaven its framing lashes--it embraces you, challenges you, both a mother and a predator. The plant-life of Alcryst is enchanted and quite foreign to our own. Towering trees can graze mountains, colors flourishing in vibrancy and hue. From cerulean trunks to crystalline leaves, the environment shifts in a hypnotic spectrum, ever evolving. Forests sing and roots grab travelers, vegetation occasionally crossing leagues to snake after your heels. Overhead, the sky is painted in new shades before your eyes, the atmosphere saturated with fires, mists, even hails of diamonds. Bored moons cast random spotlights on roaming characters or send clouds to sweep them away. Stars often glimmer beside the suns, the firmament halved between day and night in the same moment. Through the shadows stalk beasts of superior intellect, elaborate appearances, and alien physiques. Creatures spun of acid, critters that whisper in your thoughts--each species forged from the creativity of our members.  |
