The Reawakening

Adventure Awaits!

The Reawakening opened on June 17, 2023. In that time, we transitioned from telling the story of one adventuring party in Iondelle to many. We moved from our own magic system and combat system to using DnD. We've created lore, expanded Iondelle together, and created layers upon layers of narrative in this little world. Every moment of this collaborative story has been a gift, and it's not going anywhere. We’re happy to announce that starting on January 31, 2026, our story will follow two material planes - or rather, one material plane split into two. The vast majority of people in both places don’t know that the other exists. Iondelle is the world that the site started with and is still a huge focus of the rp. The Lost Lands is a new area full of myth and legend. While I anticipate that the stories of both worlds will draw them to collide, the Lost Lands and Iondelle will start mostly separate from each other. Thus, adventuring parties from one land probably won't run into the other, and their stories will be independent. The Lost Lands has problems of its own, even though it's not plagued by the Rot! You can check out the announcement for this expansion here. As a community, we understand that joining an established group can be overwhelming - especially a group where dungeons and dragons is involved. We strive to be as welcoming as we possibly can be and help you jump into the story, wherever it may currently be. You are also welcome and encouraged to join even if you’ve never played dungeons and dragons before! The goal for The Reawakening is to tell truly interactive stories where members can dive into all of their character connections, create characters who have meaningful ties to the world, and have a say in where the story goes. The vast majority of our rp is typical. We write narrative posts, we tell our stories in those posts, and we decide what actions our characters take. However, when we do rely on DnD, whether it’s for live event combats or in personal threads, casting spells, or investigating the world’s history in a library, you’ll be able to roll right in the discord. If you've been searching for a site where the characters are all connected, members have a chance to contribute to worldbuilding, and the staff is dedicated to creating a safe, fun community to write in, this might be the place for you! Take a look around, join the discord, and if you have any questions at all, please reach out to the staff. We're so excited for you to join us on this adventure!

The Prophetai

Originally members of Realm’s Shield, Than and Milo Wyeth separated from the main party to investigate a vision Than received of Qodite’s Temple surrounded by the Rot. As a splinter group from the main party, this party will share the same enemies as Realm’s Shield, but as they are not currently in search of a relic, there are other enemies who may have reason to want Qodite’s Temple to fall to the Rot. Both are closely entwined with the gods, one receiving visions of the future and the other guided by a mysterious figure in his dreams. As such, new members should be open-minded and hold some faith in the gods. New members would also preferably have some connection to Qodite’s Temple or the surrounding area, or be connected in some way to an existing member.

Wicked Darlings

A group of young women who have banded together after meeting in Eridel, the Wicked Darlings decided that it was safer to travel as a pack rather than on their own and it might be easier to achieve their aims together. Eventually they might be able to help each other heal and deal with the secrets they're individually carrying but are unable or unwilling to discuss. For now they're content to travel together and make what coin they can along the way. They're willing to accept help but those looking to join should prove useful to the group in some way.

Team Bowfire

Team Bowfire is a party that split from Realm's Shield after the Tablet of Names was recovered at the Temple of Irias. The party's main goal is to recover the Horn of Ruin located somewhere in Naevia and bring it to Realm's Shield so they can continue to fulfill the prophecy. The party has a secret side project, however, they believe reawakening the gods may not be a good outcome, and so they are also looking for an alternate way to end the rot. They present a friendly front, but are deeply aware that the journey can be deadly. In their time with Realm's Shield they made enemies with Ciro's followers and with the Ivory Order. Anyone who wishes to join should give them a reason why they want to risk their lives to save the world from the rot and should bring useful skills to the group. They are willing to take help where they can find, but trust may be slow to build.

An Age of Adventure!

The Reawakening is the story of two halves of a material plane separated by the gods that created it. These worlds, the Lost Lands and Iondelle, have their own distinctive struggles that bring about world-ending situations that our adventurers must rise up to defeat. The gods that created these worlds have long been banished, and in Iondelle, people are trying to break them free. The Lost Lands, long since abandoned by the deities, may have strong feelings about whether the gods deserve to walk their lands again. Either way, the Old World is Reawakening. Are you prepared for the consequences?

Life's Lemons

Life's Lemons is a group of ragtags dissatisfied with the state of the world, sick of being forgotten, who decided to band together and steal the Sword of Radiance. They all come from different backgrounds, but the party still holds precariously together with the idea to act and stick it to the people in power. The Priests of Ciro and many others coveting the power of the godly sword will stop at nothing to retrieve it, making them the party's main opponents. They are distrustful of completely new faces, but the group's connections run deep and adding old friends to the task will increase their chances of succeeding. If you want to join, you'll need a connection to another member or bring something to the table the party can hardly refuse. You must also 'appear' to like Ciro as a deity (you may lie of course). This party is on the run, looking to survive and find a purpose that will make some real changes.

The Order of the Emerald Blades

The Order of The Emerald Blades are regarded as a legend, some might say a fairytale for children that's a whisper on the wind. In ancient times, The Order traveled around Arkaelia, protecting the people and standing as good against evil. They were a chivalrous order focused on things like honor, decency and all the sorts of things that knights from storybooks were said to be. Until one day The Order vanished into the mist, never to be heard from again, though it was said that The Order of the Emerald Blades would return in the hour of Arkaelia's greatest need. After reading about The Order, Gawain Penrose was determined to revive the group. The group has good intentions and are earnestly trying to do what they can, though their eagerness and enthusiasm to do good has led to many mishaps along the way.

Unrelenting Raiders

The Unrelenting Raiders are a slightly chaotic group of adventurers who were brought together by circumstance and fortune (whether it was good or bad fortune is still up in the air). Every member is grappling with how to find their place in the world. None of them have their lives in order, and together, they've gotten into a fair bit of trouble. Getting kicked out of taverns, angering locals with their antics, and somehow finding themselves at the center of negative attention are regular occurrences for the party. Currently, the party simply strives to earn gold and find a place to drink and sleep for the night. Their individual goals might bring them together...or tear them apart. This party will do plenty of good in the world, but will likely stumble into doing it accidentally. They aren't the types of heroes who start their journey with entirely selfless intentions.

An Age of Reawakening!

Long ago, the gods left their home to mold new worlds from blank canvasses of elements that existed in other places. They drew on these elements and their own power to create two halves of one material plane. While their process for creating the separate pieces of the material plane was similar, the end results were wildly different. In-fighting between the deities led to the severing of any connection between the halves of the material plane. Now, only one world knows of the other’s existence. These worlds, known as the Lost Lands and Iondelle, have distinctive hardships. One world is coming apart from the seams while the other overflows with chaos from other realms. Slowly, but surely, the people of both worlds are unraveling secrets that history tried to bury. The Old World – one where both halves of the material plane knew of each other and intermingled – is Reawakening. Are you prepared for the consequences?

Realm's Shield

Realm's Shield is the party that started the Reawakening. Led by Aelia Skylark and Roan Sylvaris, Realm's Shield is on a quest to fulfill the prophecy by collecting the relics and bringing them to Genos' Sunken Temple. Roan Sylvaris collected information prior to embarking on the quest regarding where the relics are and what they might do. This party is being hunted by a number of enemies who are opposed to fulfilling the prophecy for various reasons. Recently, Roan and Aelia asked some party members to splinter off in order to hunt for the relics faster and accomplish other goals. This is a fairly serious group who is aware of the deadliness of their goal. They wish to recruit people who are confident in their skills and can quickly prove their worth both in and out of combat. In order to join, a character must have a concrete motivation or reason for wanting to fulfill the prophecy that they can share with the existing members of Realm's Shield. Due to the many attacks and betrayals the party has endured so far, they are not keen on inviting in people with no ties to their goals or ambitions.

Poison Garden

The Poison Garden met through chance and a lot of good and bad luck. The group has a lot of problems, most of which are old magic based, and they've banded together to try and find solutions. They're looking for information, items and people, mostly related to old magic and knowledge. Traveling planes and continents hasn't proved a problem for the members yet, and there's no sign that they're going to let distance stop them. Part of the party's appeal for some is that most, if not all, of the members would be considered unusual or outcasts. The party generally is prioritizing their own problems but that doesn't mean they're unwilling to accept new members and problems. Anyone who knows about traveling, has an interest in knowledge, old magic, or artifacts are welcomed to help but the party tends not to just trust strangers offering help at first. People with similar problems, based in old magic, are welcomed to join as long as they can 'help' in some way. Similarly any outcasts or unusal people are welcomed and likely who the party will be kindest too.

Crown's Tigers

Naevia's Master of Information, Kaylin Adnorin, started a group to help with the war between Naevia and Inaniel following the coup in Inaniel. The Crown's Tigers are led by Kaen Vale with help from his wife Alecto Vale. This group will not get medals, fame or recognition for their work, but that's not really what the people willing to do this sort of work are after. There is no set thing that the Tigers do or do not do, they have a variety of abilities and skills all to ensure that whatever they are asked to do they should be capable of. The tasks could be anything but they are usually dangerous and secrecy is key in being able to continue their work. Some examples of the tasks they could be asked to do: spying, assassinations, manipulation, finding people or items, moving people or goods around, distractions, fighting Inaniel's forces or otherwise disabling them.Currently the group is loyal to Naevia's crown and although they have discretion to get help as needed, they would prefer to hire people with similar loyalties to them. The group is willing to recruit people with no reputation or ties to Naevia's military as long as they are capable; however this is a skilled group with reputations for their expertise and it is likely that people on the same level of skill would have earnt a reputation somewhere.

Doom Runners

The Doom Runners are low status criminals looking to make their mark on the world...or at least the streets of Nevercrest. Brought together by the Nevercrest Thieves' Guild, they all have a history of crime and less than lawful behavior. Right now, they aren't looking to change their ways or find redemption. They just want to survive in this harsh world. Eventually, they might stumble their way into greatness that isn't tied to a thieves' guild, but for now, they're content to earn their gold the best way they know how.
