Welcome to Desamarai
|
Moon Phase
|
Two thousand years ago, there were two gods: Rayzaek, the God of Sun and Isiliah, the Goddess of Moon.
They were, of course, merely humans, humans with strange and unprecedented powers, humans who found each other and bent the whole of Desamarai to worship them.
They were lovers, they were saviors, they were the heralds of a great change, they could not last forever.
In the face of a kingdom falling apart, their love faded and they fought. They fought and retreated to their homelands- Rayzaek to Maikor and the south, Isiliah to Deida and the north. Here they split Desamarai into two, here they forever altered the world as they knew it, here they sewed seeds of discord to grow eternally.
Here they died.
Here they continue to shed blood.

5/18/09 Lyra here! We've had a recent influx of members, which is wonderful. (:
I've just added some new boards for the Isellean and Pyndian Oceans. It's time to sail the high seas, eh? Indulge yourself in underwater towns, sea serpent mating frenzies, human sacrifices and shipwrecks, etc.!
In other news, I'm hoping to start up the plot proper sometime. But I can't until we have some Desarian Royalty and some proper religious leaders. Soooo...

Bayanda River
The Bayanda separates the Rose Hills from the Hyosald Forest- on one side there are trees and on the other there are hills. It is generally peaceful. The occasional tree grows on the southern side of the Bayanda, where fishers sit and watch the forest on the opposing banks.

The Mirror Pool
Hidden in the depths of the Hyosald Forest is the Mirror Pool. Its waters reflect the ceiling of trees above. Some say it also reflects visions of the future, though the truth of this is disputed.

The Blood Stone
A tall gray stone juts from the ground. It seems innocent enough, for rain and time has long since washed away the marks of its past. However, in the long lost past, a group of people performed human sacrifices here, taking their enemies and ritually tearing out their heart and leaving it upon the rock. Ghosts are said to still wander here and whisper to innocent passers-by.

The Old Temple
The first temple to the moon was built in a clearing in northern Hyosald- one of the few places in the forest where one can see the sky. It lies in ruins, and none have tried to restore it, though many come to pay respects here.

Mother Handya
This great tree stands in the very centre of the Hyosald. The trunk is so wide that at least fifteen men could stand side by side behind it and not be seen. The topmost branches reach above the forest canopy. There are many myths as to how a tree could get so large- some say it was enchanted, some say the spirit of a nymph or elf lives inside, some simply say that the tree managed to survive and will die soon.
