Azure Seal: The Sword of Life and Death
Plot/Premise/Setting:
In the beginning of time there was nothing but the void of space, filled with the gentle starlight. The void seemed silent, yet ever so faintly a song could be heard, both from an immense distance and yet it would seem so close that you could reach out and touch it. This song, a sonata in the dark was sung by the goddess of life and her beloved who represented her opposite.
For ages unknown they wandered pathways created by moonlight and starlight. Until they happened upon a curious sight which brought their eternal wandering to an end. They descended from the stars to a world that was naught but bleak rock and soil. It was here that she gazed on the earth and saw sorrow where there should be joy of life. It was here where he saw the wild untamed world and saw the promise of where the law of starlight and death.
Within the goddess’ hand did he have his own clasped as she reached into her own robes of woven white moonlight where she withdrew a single seed of bright hope. She stepped away from her beloved and let her feet barely touch the ground. She knelt and dug a hole where she planted that hope, that promise of life anew and without another word she buried it in the bleak earth with unveiled hope.
Her beloved offered his hand and together they stood with their gazes conjoined before she led them into a song. This song spoke of both of them and what they represented. Of harmony, life, love and also of order and death. Their song, their solemn prayer reached out to the seed of hope and nurtured it like how a parent would nurture their child. With each passing moment as their melody grew as did the seed and before after a mighty tree had replaced it. Soon a flower would bloom from its wiry branches one by one. The first granted light to the world and the second granted color.
Their voices harmonized and caused the tree to reach its peak and soon many of the flowers bloomed before a breeze lifted them from the tree branches and scattered them around the world. Soon the goddess and her beloved departed back to the void where they became one with it as one of the moons representing its two sides of light and dark. This is how the world came to be.
About:
Azure Seal: The Sword of Life and Death is a project that has been in the back of my head for years. It originally started as a forum based Fire Emblem roleplay back in the day of invision free roleplay forums. It will follow the story of a elven bard with a mournful past in a world that has been scarred by darkness ages past. Currently I am toying around with the Lex Talinonis Engine to construct it, but as I have in complete sprites for the main lord aka the bard, progress is slow.
Planned features:
- Gripping storyline filled with love, loss and darkness (High Dark Fantasy)
- Engaging maps
- Branching class system like sacred stones
- A cast of unique characters
