SEASON 1: The Godseed
One year ago: -Arden Ammund got out of prison and reformed the Order of the Rose. Months ago: -Arden was able to recruit many new adventurers into the Order. They moved base from Olvia, to Velia. -The Order recieved a job to locate an ancient manuscript lost somewhere in a cave deep deep underground. -The Order found it, after diving into a cave that led them hundreds of feet below ground. -Due to curiousity as to why the contact was willing to pay some much, the Order decided to keep the manuscript and study it. -Arden sent it to a contact in Altinova, who explained that it led to another one, also hidden away in a cave. -The Order searched for it, and located it. This one was in full condition. Arden sent that one to their contact as well, which took months for him to study. In between then and recently: -The comings and goings of many members, all the RP in between. Recently: -Bayushi and Alice, then Arden's love interest, were attacked seperately. Bayushi was attacked by a sword wielding woman from the East, who could control wind. Alice was attacked by ferocious creatures, seeming under the spell of someone or something. -Xavilla, comes to the Order with a job. A delivery mission, that took the Order to Cron Castle to retrieve supplies there. -During the mission, Luceian and Ashelia ran off. Luceian was blown off the castle and into the sea by a large explosion, and Ashelia was found on the verge of death by Arden and Rosalynda. Despite Arden's orders, Crona and Alice came along after them. Alice and Rosa were injured during the rush, causing a fight to break out when the group caught back together. -Ellymay, second in command of the guild, quit her position due to the lack of being able to follow orders. She also left the money from the mission in the cart, without anyone elses knowledge. -A rift grew between Crona and Arden, and in fighting began.(edited)
-Arden's contact in Altinova claimed to have discovered another site for one of the manuscripts, and the guild was going to investigate soon. -Rosalynda, resting at her home in Heidel, was attacked by the same swordswoman Bayushi was. She told Rosalynda she simply came as a warning, out of pity. And that there was a traitor among the guild. -Abberen returns from jail, after spending two months locked up for intoxication. -Arden, Abberen, Ria, and Kasparra arrived at Elly's hideout after much debate among the guild. They suspected her of being the traitor and went to confront her. She attempted to escape, so Arden pierced the back of her leg with his blade to keep her from running. She was tied up, and kept at the guild hall as a prisoner for questioning, in which she did not cooperate with. -A few days later, a woman claiming to be the owner of the manuscripts from previously arrived at the guild hall. Her name was Cophelia Al-Adara, and she demanded them back. Alice and Abberen confronted her, and told her to leave, in which she did.
-Minutes later, a berserking giant attacked the guild hall. Bringing severe injury to Alice, Bayushi, and Abberen, the three were able to overcome the giant. They severed his arms and one leg, and asked who sent him. In response, the giant spoke the name "Al-Rahmla" and claimed he would die a thousand times for her. -Cophelia returned to the guild hall, injured, and healed the three. She then claimed Al-Rahmla was an ancestor of hers, and warned the guild they did not know what they were messing with.(edited)
-Arden falls ill, cursed with the plague. He remains bed ridden for weeks. -Alice leads the guild in search of the next piece of the manuscript, into a cave in southern Mediah. The cave was well guarded by powerful creatures that continued to replicate themselves, unrelenting to the assault from the guild. Cophelia, Nazahr, Nambra, and Lunada are all injured, but they make it out alive...and with the next manuscript. -Cophelia and Alice agree to work together, and Cophelia returns to Valencia for a few days. -Cophelia returns to Velia, telling the story of Al-Rahmla. Al-Rahmla was a powerful witch that lived in her family centuries ago, who was made immortal by the artifact known as the Godseed. The Godseed was a powerful stone, much like the philosopher's stone in western legend. It could grant eternal life and endless wealth, but to use it must take a life. Al-Rahmla's tribe warred for the stone, and her family came on top. She used the Godseed, despite her lover Al-Abasa's request. Al-Rahmla consumed the life of every non-family member in their tribe. Stricken with grief, Al-Abasa trapped Al-Rahmla inside of the Godseed, and hid it away. Centuries later, her power is still able to leak onto this plane of existence, and she has began to take the minds of lesser beings over, in an attempt to find the Godseed herself and free herself.(edited)
-Cophelia requests the assistance of the Order of the Rose's witches and wizards, in an effort to create a powerful containment spell for the Godseed, so they could find it and destroy it before Al-Rahmla sets herself free. She suggest the group travel to her Valencian home, so they could work in peace without prejudice or interruption from those in Calpheon who still frowned upon magick. -A week later, Alice and Arden split, and Alice abandoned the guild in it's time of need. Arden was placed under Rosalynda's care, and the guild traveled to Valencia.(edited)
-They arrived at Cophelia's home, and began to rest for the first time in many days before they got to work. -Later that night, Cophelia went downstairs and attempted to wake Nazahr up, in which he jumped out of his slumber claiming someone was trying to take him over. In his startled awakening, he threw a dagger towards Cophelia, causing it to plunge deep into her shoulder. Frightened and shocked, Cophelia bled all over the floor until Nazahr healed her. Confused and shaken, Cophelia simply went back upstairs, her trust in Nazahr skewed.
-Nazahr's mind was assaulted and taken over by Al-Rahmla. He attacked Cophelia, Rosa, Seth Mioran, and Crona. After a chase and a hard battle, in which Seth and Cophelia were injured, they finally subdued him. Cophelia drained his mana and locked it away in an orb. Nazahr was thrown into an empty building, bound by earthen shackles.
-Cophelia, Rosa, Seth, and Crona went to the Royal Palace Library determined to locate any source of information that would allow them to cast a ritual to gaze back into the past, so they may find any knowledge that could possibly help them destroy the Godseed and kill Al-Rahmla.
-Cophelia took a few books home of note to read through over the night.
-The group discovered a way to get a vision back in time through an old forgotten ritual. They traveled to an oasis in the desert and cast it. -During the vision in time, they discovered the true power of the Godseed and witnessed the rise and fall of Al-Rahmla centuries ago. They discovered that her lover, Al-Abasa who was made immortal by her hand as well, used a magical sword to counter the Godseed's power and used it to lock her away inside of the Godseed.
-Nazahr was allowed to return from his imprisonment and was given his mana back, but is still being kept under a watchful eye. -The group decided to begin crafting of the containment spell, the final step needed before they decide to retrieve the Godseed.
-Nazahr, Kasparra, and Cophelia created a spell they believe would contain the Godseed
-Cophelia was given a diary that was given to Rosa. After translating it for her, it was discovered that Rosalynda and Cophelia are in fact cousins. Rosa's mother disappeared 31 years ago, and was the younger sister of Cophelia's father. -Naz, Kas, Cophelia, Rosa, Crona, Abberen, and Nambra all traveled to underground ruins near Valencia Castle to finally obtain the Godseed. After being tested and tested again, turning on each other due to Al-Rahmla's mind magic, they finally located the coveted stone. After an intense ritual, they seemed to finally contain it in a magical barrier and begun the transport to Valencia City -During the transport, Cophelia lost control over the spell keeping the Godseed at bay. After an explosion and a bright flash, Cophelia was no longer on the ground where she once was. Instead, the resurrected Al-Rahmla stood in her place, with the Godseed embedded within her staff. -The members of the Order attacked her again and again, cutting her limps off, melting her flesh from her bone, decapitating her and cutting her into pieces...but nothing worked against her. Every gash every slice every stab, no blood ever came out. Each wound she suffered magically healed itself and she regenerated without as much of a scratch. She attempted to use the Godseed on the group, but they luckily escaped it's fire. After a grueling battle, Al-Rahmla was about to vaporize the group with a large fireball from the sky. The group finally retreated and escaped the devestation(though most of their horses and camels died). Al-Rahmla then disappered quietly into a sandstorm, that went away as quickly as it came. -Rosalynda was given Cophelia's property, which was then given to Abberen. Arden finally woke up, his sickness gone. The guild decided to rest and recover from their bruises before trying to go after Al-Rahmla so fast.
