The Forgotten Age



'Life is a cycle. We live, we learn, we fall, we rise and, inevitably, we die. Life is all we have. So, for my faithful subjects

I intend to keep their life preserved and their work towards the kingdom secured.'


-King Amberheart II of Everfall


The land of Esteria was a happy place. Long before it was called Equestria, it had four kingdoms, ruled by one of the four races that lived in peace. Towards the Eastern Coasts was the sunny places of Everfall. Each morning this place would be bathed in a light so wonderful that it was known as the 'Kingdom of Pure', referring to its blinding lights. Meanwhile to the West would be the more nighttime focused kingdom of Dusk. They had a reputation of knowing about the stars and being fantastic interpreters of anything from the stars to ancient languages. It's more common and less formal name was 'Kingdom of the Moon and Stars'. A suitable name for their common pursuits. To the North was Riverbrook. The most recent addition to the kingdoms of Esteria, it was the smallest yet most ambitious kingdom. They were the dreamers, the devisors, the calculators. Due to their more recent arrival they had no informal name and thing to be known for. But they were welcome by the other kingdoms as allies which their ruler, Queen Nymph, was pleased about. While the oldest, most respected kingdom was Baraid. It was the kingdom of art, of sculptors, of clay workers and craftsmen. Their city was filled with mosaics and statues. Not only were they the most respected but they respected others most grandly. No one had an informal name for it. It was too respected to be called anything other than Baraid. The midlands, otherwise known as the free lands, was the place of the tower of kingdoms. It was approximately in the middle of where the four kingdoms, had they been stretched into the midlands, borders would meet. In the tower of the kingdoms the council of four was held; a annual meeting of the kingdoms in order to see exactly what was going on with others. King Amberheart II of Everfall was an Earth pony and a strong leader. Queen Nymph of Riverbrook was a changeling though her powers, and any changeling subject's, were limited under rules between the kingdoms. Queen Heartstroke, of Baraid, was a unicorn though had a tendency to keep her powers to a minimum. King Shorelight III of Dusk was a bat-pony and was the only married ruler of the four. He had a male heir called Starbroke.

Ponies lived in a time of morals, traditions and laws. Architecture would suit the kingdom. Everfall had whitewash houses with lots of windows and flat roofs to be on when the weather was nice. Dawn had a more castle-like structure of things. The richer you were the better your study would be, and each house had a study of some proportions. Baraid had yellow houses which were like Everfalls but much grander, the roads being in the middle with the pathways being like steps up and down. The whole city was shaped on the nature. Riverbrook had humble, cottage like homes. These would be covered in hay at the top. Normally they would be two story. Merchants would go around in wooden carts with willing ponies pulling them. Normally, ponies would be absolutely loyal to their kingdom. While they would lose passion for their professions and kingdoms over time that pull towards the loyal way would almost never fade. Hence the lack of criminal activity. Everyone would have their own beliefs and they would not be disrespected. Some believed they were made by one of the alicorns who were believed to live in the lands away from their own, others had no idea and some believed it was mere luck and chance that they were there. Different races lived in harmony. Changelings were the least respected, unfortunately, but this was never discussed openly. Changelings could not talk until recently when Queen Baraid cast a spell of the now known Queen Nymph who was the first changeling to ever talk. Her descendants to the throne would also talk, all the way until the modern Equestria.

You're character is perfectly normal. They have their own opinions, kingdom, profession, flaws and strengths. Their just as normal as their friends, family and acquaintances. As a young pony they chose their kingdom and profession just as anypony. But, one day, a normal day, they receive a letter. It's just there, in their house. Their kingdom's royal crest seals it, and they open it reluctantly. They find a letter almost pulsating with magic. It opens with a greeting and a thanks then proceeds to request their presence at a council of four meeting. They have been called forth, for their talents, knowledge or something else, to aid in a quest that would be profitable to not only their own kingdom but the whole of Esteria. The RP begins during their journey to the tower of kingdoms .

Rules:

1. Follow the Brohoof RP rules.
2. There are four main races: Changeling (they have a central hive in Riverbrook and are much more passive in this time), Pegasus, Unicorn and Earth Pony. Any race can be in any kingdom, and sub-races such as bat-ponies are allowed. Changelings will be more commonly found in Riverbrook due to the largest hive being there but there are hives in other cities.
3. Don't godmod. I know this is technically in the Brohoof RP rules but its just too much of a problem to other RPers and its really annoying.
4. Don't miss out anything on the app sheet. All of its applicable to any character, the only exception being the Cutiemark part for changelings but, even then, they will still have a talent.
5. Please use paragraphs in your post. It's easier to understand whats happening in your characters PoV, and much more interesting.

 

Characters:

 

Golden Sparks ~ Quickstroke

Unicorn Hunter ~ Acid Thorn

Solar star ~ Solar Star

Splash ~ Tinker

 

-First Post-

 

Quickstroke trotted across the pathways, sprinting past taken aback ponies, taking careful steps to make sure that she doesn't trip and cautiously attempting to miss every pony that got in her way. The letter - it did say this day, didn't it? She was sure, but even if the cart didn't come for an hour she would wait. Camp out and wait. This would be something amazing. It was on her mind exactly what she encountered but she was close to an adrenaline just thinking about the wonders she could experience. Plus she was chosen by the Queen herself! That was an amazing honour in itself, plus the fact that she'd go on a presumed adventure was almost too much for her. The letter had told her to keep quiet about what she was doing on her trip, as well as where. But all her friends had gained her trust over the years. She was generally likeable so they knew she wouldn't lie. Technically, she wasn't doing so by not telling them everything. It was perfectly moral to do so - surely? Or maybe she was just obeying that instinct to follow orders. Well, it was natural. Not all instincts could be stopped. 

 

Finally, after a good ten minutes of running she came to the gates. Merchants wearing robes and jewels, others wearing rags, were coming into the city. Normal ponies with the occasional merchant were going out. There was a special gate to the side of the busy one for ponies who had permission. The letter had explicitly told her to go through this gate and show the guards the envelope with the royal crest. Of course, she followed these instructions to the point and was let through. It was funny how just a simple picture could seem so much more than what it looks like. With a few small thoughts yet again about what she was going to do she waited outside the gates near a road. This road was a very small road. No one was using it. Apparently, this was the road that the Queen and other important officials would go to when they were setting off for the tower. A carriage, one of the Queens own, would pick her up soon. Then she started to wonder - what if somepony else where to come with her?

 

With a small and gentle sigh, she lay herself down on the dew-covered grass and put her down to a comfortable position. The grass were like wet whiskers stroking the bottom of her muzzle and neck. Slightly ticklish - yes - but hardly noticeable when so deep in thought. This time her thoughts were not as fast and happy as her previous ones. She was considering exactly what was going to happen. What if she got the wrong letter? It didn't say her name, just 'Dearest citizen of Baraid'. Easily, she could've been the wrong recipient. Then, if she were the correct person, who, if anyone, would come with her? Someone she knew or a stranger. A neighbour, or someone on the other side of Baraid? In fact, she was quite lucky to live near the gates. Everyone knew that if you lived near the palace you'd have to get a cart to the gates and no one really liked to go on them. They were always dirty and normally the ponies driving would be rude. Not always yet sometimes. She continued to wait for a while, both the carriage and any other ponies that might come.

Character:

There are a few standards when it comes to characters. Firstly, flaws. Flaws are what make people, and characters, actually interesting. Make a mistake here and there and you should be good to go. But its quite nice to know what you're going to fail at more commonly in order to make it suit your character. Though don't be all flaws. Thats a problem too. Also, this is an adventure RP. Not a SoL, though it maintains that element of arguments and friendships. Just remember that and then choose (or make, your choice) your character who would probably suit it best.

Golden Sparks' Skin Shop (HD/SD)

30 November 2014 - 12:01 PM

Golden Sparks' HD/SD Skin Shop


Hello! It's been a long time since I did my last skin on my old shop. Almost a year now, and i've decided to reopen. All races accepted, all acessories, dresses, quality. I've improved immensely. I can also add things and i'll try and make everything to the best of my ability. Though I have a request of my own to all my customers: don't give me something with absoloutely everything. By that I mean that i'm not the Godess of Skins, I can only have three requests at a time and anything overly complicated is beyond my abillities. If you request two skins of me it counts as only one space but you have to tell me which one you want done first. All examples are below. I will update them with every skin I do, not the actual thing you upload but a picture as an example. If you do not wish this to be done either say in your post or go to another shop. I will also not pm skins as it's easier for me to just get all skins out at once on one thread than seperately message each person. Thanks for reading this and here are the examples (if there aren't many there will be more over time so don't worry):

HD Skins (1):

Spoiler


SD Skins (0)
Spoiler


Rules:

1. Follow the format. It's easier for me and I try to make it as simplistic as possible so that anyone can fill it out. If you can't fill something out because it doesn't apply to the skin just do N/A.
2. Don't overload me with details. Im a single person who can only do so much. Not a skin godess, no way.
3. If I can't do something, I have a reason. If you want to hear it, politely ask. Don't rage for no reason. It takes up alot of peoples time sorting out a raging person on the internet. There are much better things for people to do.
4. Be patient. We all have lives here. I'm not a bot though normally a request will take me up to 48 to complete. If it isn't done by then see if i've said anything, and if I haven't you can ask politely. No rage, please.
5. Don't request in other poeples shops. This is a rule that many skinners who own a shop have because requesting in other peoples shops is a sign of disrespect. If you dislike my skin, tell me and i'll try my best to make it as good as possible. Don't just plaster your request over everywhere.

Format:

You've read the rules, or at least you better have, and are ready for a skin. Just follow the format below, add anything that I may have missed. In brackets are the things that i'd like you to delete. They are reminders and say exactly what I need in that section.

Name: (So that it's easier for me to sort everything out.)
Description/Picture: (Eye colour, coat colour, mane/tail style, mane/tail colour(s), facial expressions etc.)
Seperate Cutiemark: (So that I can either copy or trace over it and put it on the skin.)
Reference Sheet: (Optional)
Other: (Make of this what you will, any other details you think I might need go here.)

Requests (0 slots left):

Tudexd ~ In progress
Blazing Star ~ Uncomplete
Chewy McFluffster ~ Uncomplete

Any comments are appreaciated greatly. I thank the requesters, and those who encourage and give me useful criticism which is always helpful and appreaciated just as much as compliments.
