Shaente Blathanna is a The Witcher AU intermediate-advanced FORUM-based roleplay. We appreciate the value of a drama-free, inclusive writing environment - a place to call home.

Vengerberg is a ruin after the attack of several dragons. The Queen of Aedirn lies dead in the havoc. A mysterious black dragon is captured in the fiery exchange, all thanks to an uncanny collaboration between witchers, and taken to Dol Blathanna. The Emperor of Nilfgaard takes more and more controversial decisions. Nilfgaard’s mage hides cowardly in Cintra. Knowledge of the prince of Nilfgaard’s survival after the dragon attack will brew the beginning of a Civil War. The vampires lie confused in the wake of a new gate opening. Gods themselves are challenged by the times.

There can be no avoidance, sides must be chosen.

Welcome to a world of survival, lust and magic.

Humans, elves, and demons—the three playable races—battle for survival in a realm tainted by corruption and desire.
Demons, cruel and seductive, use carnal energy to drain the vitality of mortals. In response, humans and elves fight for survival, each on their respective sides.

Will you serve the darkness, be a part of it, or resist it?
Will you fall prey to temptation, fight it… or become the tempter?

Two years after the end of World War 2, The Justice Society of America was founded. In October of the same year, The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense struck a deal with the Justice Society. A portion of the team members would join the Bureau in their own branch for a large sum of money– enough to retire within the decade if they needed to. This branch was called Justice Society Dark, and became the first time superheroes were seen successfully working within a government-sanctioned agency– the start of a new era.

In the same year, mutants in New York faced more violent prejudice than in any other part of the world. To defend their people, a group of mutants began “The Institute for The Gifted” in Manhattan, a program that both housed scared mutants and taught them how to better understand their “gifts” as the Professor put it. The success of the Institute started the first mutant team, The X-Men, which despite the controversy showed that mutants weren’t just victims– but saviors of mankind.

Now the year is 2030, society has been shown an age of superheroes like they’ve never seen before. Villains are getting more powerful by the decade, there may be a day where they triumph over their foes…but only time will tell.

1891
During this year, all the races co-existed with one another, inventing their own technologies and bringing them out to the world so they too can adapt. The five great nations lived in peace, trading with one another, and causing no problem with each other…Yet.

1914
With many cities being developed, skyscrapers building tall, and more technology being invented, everyone would soon realize that everything would begin to go absolutely wrong. One day a single demon manipulated a civilian from the country of Sodrax, who shot and assassinated the leader of Butrad during his speech. The civilian was apprehended, but the people knew that it was someone from Butrad. With that the new leader declared on Sodrax and prepared to get their armies ready. The other three countries chose a side and with that, The Great War had officially begun with many battles happening and only one winner coming out on top.

1918 (Present Day)
After The Great War ended and all five countries made peace again, the country was in devastation and ruins. The countries began to rebuild and tried to rebuild their economy back as well due to spending all of their economy during the war. However with the countries slowly beginning to rebuild, the rise of criminal activities began to ascend. Mafias, gangs, and other criminal organizations began to rise where they have been made for domination or survival. This was the golden age of criminal organization during the prohibition era.

**In the fantasy city of Serenia, there exists a medieval-designed fortress; with a sleek, modern interior manor close to a rainforest to the east. To the north is an uninhabited beach guarded by the Blade Seals.

The (so far un-named) fortress is actually a military academy & a monarchy is disguise; the two branches govern it with dual strength; for now.

There are 2 other factions also.

Wing Storm- Humanoid Dragons
Saber Platoon- A small, elite squad of 6 conjurer mages; who wield a sword in combat. Each person is able to transform into ONE animal. Must be half human & half creature tho.

These 3 women & 3 men reside directly outside Serenia rainforest; in the far west part of the rainforest.
This special platoon is able to do one [or more] of these things:

1) a mercenary group
2) personal therapists
3) personal guardian bodyguards (for one person at a time)

4) Are the police force of Serenia
5) Can be detectives
6) Recon Scouts
7) Traveling conversation messengers

8) These mages can be a summoned familiar companion bound to accompany ONLY leaders or second in commands in the Mage Corps or Fierce Blade Seals faction.

***Feel more than welcome to create more than one OC. The important thing is that the characters love going completely barefoot: either inside, outside; or both.
Or at the very least, only wearing socks.
Due to the humid weather, female characters gotta love showing midriff, lower back & bum skin [WHILE STILL WEARING CLOTHES] without complaining

A max of 4 ORIGINAL characters can be in [the same] faction to start off.

Romance, dating & characters getting married is allowed; as long as it’s between one guy & girl character.
Tho, Girl “besties” are still allowed.**
