★ The Chronicles of Mythria ★

Current Year: 1754 AD

The Creation of the World

1000 PD - 1 PD

Legend has it that Mythria was created by six Gods, each one of them representing one of the magical elements: wind, fire, earth, water, light and darkness. Together, they shaped mountains that rose to kiss the sky, oceans that sprawled across the land and forests that draped the earth with verdant greenery. They brought life into the world and made it thrive. In these ancient times, dragons lived among people and ancient beasts roamed the wilds. Strong magic flowed through the whole world and the harmonious cycle of the four seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter - nurtured all life.

The Great Darkness

1 PD - 1 AD

One day, a great darkness descended upon the lands of Mythria and the whole world was plunged into a perpetual abyss of cold and shadow. For many weeks, the people of Mythria were gripped with fear and turned to the creator Gods in desperate prayer. Four of the Gods responded to their calls: the God of Wind, the God of Fire, the God of Earth and the God of Water. They used their powers to lift the darkness, but the world had already changed. The dragons and ancient beasts had vanished as if wiped from existence, and the once-vibrant lands lay barren. Mythria was but a shell of its former glory and the Gods knew that without further intervention, the world would soon cease to exist.

The New World

1 AD - 1746 AD

In response, the four Gods decided to weave their magic anew, but without the balance provided by the God of Light and the God of Darkness, their powers reshaped the world of Mythria in unexpected ways. The lands transformed into the eternal embodiments of a single season, mirroring the essence of its divine rejuvenator. Verdant groves blossomed eternally in spring, endless summers graced golden beaches, autumn's bounty never ceased, and winter's frost became a realm of timeless beauty. The people, resilient as ever, adapted to the new world and built civilisations in harmony with the unchanging seasons. Yet, one island remained untouched by the Gods’ powers and as it was still shrouded in unyielding darkness, it quickly became a land abandoned and forgotten since it was deemed uninhabitable.

The Meteor Crash

1746 AD - 1748 AD

Many centuries passed until a huge meteor crashed into the long forgotten island of darkness. The unforeseen event caught the interest of many researchers and a small expedition party soon travelled to the once-abandoned land in order to study the meteor crash site. To their astonishment, they found the land alive with the cycle of the four seasons, a phenomenon unseen since the age before the Great Darkness. The land, once dead, had started to thrive with new life.

The Starhaven Project

1748 AD - Present

After this discovery, several expedition parties were sent to the continent to gather more information. However, it quickly became clear that a more permanent settlement was needed in order to proceed. Continuous travels were impractical and cost too much funding. After many discussions and planning between the nations, a project was brought into life in order to populate the once-forgotten land. A small settlement named Starhaven was built and people to move to the island were recruited.

Tensions in the Land of Eternal Summer

1752 AD - 1753 AD

In the Land of Eternal Summer, a troubling event has left people deeply unsettled. For the first time ever, the Day of Renewal failed to occur. Normally a time of celebration and divine blessing, the day came and went without any sign from their God. Whispers of fear and doubt spread rapidly. Had their God abandoned them? Had he lost his power? Or had the people themselves failed...had they not prayed or worshipped enough? No one truly knows the answers, but tension is gripping the land, and tempers are running high.Perhaps it is this growing unease that has caused relations with Vernalia to sour. Heated debates between the two regions have become more frequent, and cooperation between them have begun to fray. To make matters worse, it has now been confirmed that Gildenfall’s Day of Renewal failed as well, leaving both nations shaken and uncertain.

War of Shattered Faith

1753 AD - 1754 AD

After the Day of Renewal failed in both Solterra and Gildenfall, tensions between the two regions steadily worsened. At first, it was just unease and speculation, followed by harsh words and public arguments. Disagreements turned into border disputes, and before long, the first skirmishes broke out. Now, the two nations are fully at war. Neither side is willing to take the blame, and both accuse the other of offending the Gods and throwing the world out of balance.Vernalia has tried to stay out of the conflict, but it finds itself in an increasingly awkward position between the two. While it hasn’t taken a side, pressure is building from all directions. Frigoria, far removed and more isolated, remains uninvolved. Its distance and disinterest have kept it from being drawn into the conflict.

★ The Chronicles of Starhaven ★

Current Year: 1753 AD

Start of the Starhaven Project

1751 AD - 1752 AD

The Starhaven project advanced steadily, and soon the first wave of residents was ready to move onto the island. Though the land was still barren and undeveloped, the settlers brought energy, determination, and a vision for a brighter future. Together, they worked tirelessly to transform Starhaven into a place they could truly call home. It wasn’t always easy. Progress was slow at first as the early days were filled with challenges and setbacks. However, through cooperation and perseverance, the residents managed to overcome every obstacle.Meanwhile, the leading research team, who had spearheaded the initial expeditions, found themselves overwhelmed with administrative tasks as they coordinated the settlement’s growth. Their focus on paperwork left little time for the actual research that had brought them to Starhaven in the first place. This did not go unnoticed by the four nations - Vernalia, Solterra, Gildenfall, and Frigoria - who had all invested heavily in the project. Concerned about the lack of scientific progress, they decided it was time to step in and take matters into their own hands.

Miriel Willowmist's Mayoralty

1752 AD - 1753 AD

To relieve the leading researchers of their administrative burden and allow them to return to their work, representatives from Vernalia, Solterra, Gildenfall, and Frigoria were sent to Starhaven. Their mission was simple: to oversee the settlement and nominate one of their own as the first mayor of Starhaven. After a public election, Miriel Willowmist, an elf from Vernalia, was elected as the first mayor.Under mayor Miriel’s leadership, the focus of Starhaven shifted back to research in all fields, including the mysterious meteor crystal at the crash site. For the first time, the crystal was cut into for study, and what followed was both fascinating and strange. A fine dust released during the cutting process caused small crystals to grow on those who had been exposed to it, temporarily enhancing their magical abilities. Though the effects only lasted a few weeks, the phenomenon became the foundation for further study, and excitement buzzed through the research community.After a public vote, it was decided that further research on the crystal was necessary. The decision to cut it down entirely was risky, and ultimately led to disaster. A surge of unstable magical energy burst from the crystal’s core, injuring many and scattering fragments across the island. But the choice wasn’t without its rewards. The explosion unlocked new insights into magic, and several breakthroughs followed in its wake. With the central crystal destroyed and its remnants under active study, focus began to shift toward exploring the rest of the island. Starhaven’s efforts turned outward, expanding its borders in the hopes of discovering new phenomena that might help understand the mysteries of the island.

New Roots, Old Tensions

1753 AD - present

When it came time to vote for mayor again, Miriel Willowmist was re-elected for a second term. Her calm leadership had earnt the trust of many, and with Caladryn now officially appointed as her advisor, the island’s magical research efforts felt more focused than ever. Neria, who had also run for the advisor role, lost by a narrow margin. Rather than dwell on the outcome, she redirected her energy into supporting the town’s church, becoming the driving force behind its growth into a place of spiritual importance.Although research into magic remained a major focus, efforts began to shift elsewhere. With the explosion at the meteor site behind them and the resulting crystal shards now providing a stable and steady source of study, researchers had what they needed to continue their work. Recent tests confirmed what many had suspected: the magic within the crystal is largely aligned with light magic, though strange, raw magical energy seems to pulse through it as well. It could help explain why the meteor’s arrival dispelled the island’s long-standing darkness, and perhaps also why the first attempt to cut into the crystal had unleashed such a blinding wave of light.With the immediate danger past, resources were reallocated to expand the town’s reach. More of the island was mapped and cleared, new jobs emerged, and Starhaven steadily grew in both size and reputation. More tourists had begun to arrive, curious to see the place where all four seasons lived side by side.Meanwhile, the growing conflict between Solterra and Gildenfall began to cast a shadow over Starhaven’s representatives. Although they did their best to remain professional, cracks were beginning to show. Tensions flared behind closed doors, and pressure began to mount on Miriel to publicly state where she and Starhaven stand. So far, she has remained silent, mirroring Vernalia’s own stance, but many believe it is only a matter of time before the island will be forced to pick a side.

★ Who lives in the world? ★

The following species can be found across the lands of Mythria. Each section provides you with an overview of the selected species and its most prominent features. Remember that the sections point out elements that are most commonly found among the respective species. A character can, but doesn’t necessarily have to follow them.

• Humans
• Elves
• Hybrids
• Half-elves
• Witches
• Dragonkin

★ The Birds and the Bees ★

When individuals from different species choose to have a child together, there is a 60% chance that the child will share the same species as the mother, and a 40% chance for the child to inherit the father's species. Additionally, when an elf is part of an interspecies couple, there is a 20% chance that the offspring will be a half-elf.

★ The Gods ★

The gods of Mythria are said to originate from a distant realm known as the Sea of Stars. This far-off place is their original home, the birthplace of their magic, and the source from where they crafted everything in Mythria. However, this act of creation significantly drained their powers. Their strength was further diminished following the Great Darkness, which pushed their abilities to the brink.
Consequently, the Gods have retreated into a state of slumber to regain their strength and once a year, each God rouses from this slumber to bless the lands anew with their magic to prevent the world from being consumed by darkness again. Lumina’s and Shadaron’s disappearances remain a big mystery to this day.

Maristelle, the Goddess of Water

Patron of Winter

Day of Renewal: December 11th

★ Religion ★

While the existence of the Gods is not disputable, not everyone actively worships them. Most people pay tribute to the Gods during certain holidays, but it is neither mandatory nor necessarily expected by society to do so. Some people may choose to worship all Gods, others might choose to only worship one or two Gods. Everything is generally accepted as long as people act peacefully and respectfully.

• Back

★ Magic ★

The world of Mythria was created through magic and as a result, everything and everyone that inhabits it has some degree of magic. Old legends tell of a time when people could easily harness this magic, doing things like igniting flames or freezing water with just a flick of the hand. But after the Great Darkness the magic in the world and within its people weakened significantly. These days, people can't perform magic on their own. However, scholars have discovered how to use certain gems and minerals to channel and control magical energy.Everyone in Mythria has a natural affinity for one of the six magical elements: wind, fire, earth, water, light, or darkness. Witches are unique in this respect, as they have an affinity for two elements. Many people live their whole lives without discovering their magical affinity, but it's always there. Scholars and researchers have developed tests to determine a person's magical element. Another way to discover one's affinity is through the Fatesight Flower. When touched, these flowers change colour to reveal the person's specific type of magic.Recently, however, a groundbreaking discovery was made in Starhaven: a way to change a person’s magical affinity. While this process doesn’t increase one’s magical potential, it does alter the element they are naturally attuned to.

★ Magic Items ★

Magic items are a valuable commodity in Mythria. Due to their high cost and limited availability, they aren’t something you can simply purchase anywhere. In many cases, magic items are passed down through generations as family heirlooms, while others are gifted during special occasions such as graduations or weddings.To perform magic, a person needs a magic item, as the magic within individuals is too weak to be harnessed on its own. Each magic item is designed with a specific purpose. For example, a fire-lighter magic item might be able to ignite flames, but it won’t help summon a gust of wind or heal an injury.There are two types of magic items: personal magic items which draw magical energy directly from the user, and self-powered magic items which contain stored magical energy, allowing them to operate independently of the user’s magic. Personal magic items are more common and affordable, but require the user to have enough magical stamina to power the item. Self-powered magic items eventually run out of energy and need to be recharged. Items like magical refrigerators or magical lamps fall into this category.Larger cities tend to have more access to magic items due to wealth and trade connections, whereas smaller communities often have fewer. However, certain smaller towns or villages may specialise in crafting or maintaining magic items if they have strong ties to magic.

★ Flora & Fauna ★

The fauna and flora in Mythria is affected by the magic that flows through the world. Plants can have stronger or unique flavours and medicinal herbs can possess stronger healing abilities than they’d normally have. The animal world in Mythria is also unique. In some places, deer have flowers growing on their antlers and glowing fish can be spotted swimming through rivers - a testament of the ever-present magic of the Gods.
Unique flora and fauna that isn't found anywhere else in Mythria has been spotted around Starhaven.

Mythria is primarily divided into four regions, each one locked in a single season: spring, summer, autumn and winter. A variety of landscapes and cultures can be found across the lands.
Starhaven marks the exception. It is the only place where the seasons shift which makes it an interesting place to study and live in.

★ Map of Starhaven ★

Currently, the north-eastern region of Starhaven serves as the island’s central hub. Exploration has begun to branch outward: further inland into the dense central forests and along the eastern coastline. As the town grows, more locations will be revealed, and already established areas will continue to expand alongside the community.

Eternal Starfield

A much smaller island to the north of Starhaven, easily reached by boat. Though still shrouded in perpetual darkness, its beauty continues to mesmerise. The Fatesight Flowers remain in bloom, their golden pollen floating into the air like glimmering stars. A small research outpost has been added to study the strange flora and the island’s lingering darkness, with a permanent ferry stop now operating for visitors.

Sunrise Farm

Fully flourishing and expanded, Sunrise Farm has become the agricultural heart of Starhaven. It now features a greenhouse for year-round crops, irrigation systems, and a modest produce stand for selling directly to locals. The once modest fields now stretch into tidy rows, buzzing with activity from dawn to dusk.

Sunset Ranch

Now home to a wider range of animals, the ranch has added a small dairy processing barn and upgraded fencing and shelter for livestock. A veterinarian station ensures animal health and welfare, making the ranch a cornerstone for both food production and care.

Sundown Stables

Expanded with new stables and a small training arena, Sundown Stables now accommodates more riding animals and hosts riding lessons and events. The scenic trails remain a popular pastime for residents and visitors alike.

Golden Beach

Stretching along the northeastern shore, Golden Beach is famous for its shimmering sands that seem to glow in the sun, giving the shoreline its name. It’s a favorite spot for both locals and visitors, offering gentle tides, quiet walks, and seasonal festivals. With the recent improvements to nearby infrastructure, small cabanas and shaded resting spots have been added for picnics or seaside lounging.

Bluewater Docks

Expanded to include additional docking space, Bluewater Docks now boast improved storage areas and a fish market pavilion. A local repair shop for small boats and fishing equipment has also opened nearby.

Town Hall

With more residents and projects underway, Town Hall now includes a larger main hall for public forums, additional offices, and a community board. The surrounding square hosts regular town meetings, open markets, and seasonal festivities.

Healing Leaf Pharmacy

The Healing Leaf Pharmacy continues to provide Starhaven’s residents with a wide range of medical supplies and remedies. Recently expanded, it now includes a small consultation space and improved storage for prepared treatments. Apothecaries here focus on mixing and refining medicines, while sourcing ingredients from local herbalists and traders. Efficient and well-organised, the pharmacy has become the go-to place for treating everyday ailments and stocking up on essentials.

Ironworks Forge

The forge has expanded with a new back wing dedicated to smelting raw ore sourced from the quarry’s recently opened mine shaft. Now boasting reinforced furnaces and larger workspaces, it can accommodate bulk material processing and larger-scale public commissions. Whether it's crafting tools, repairing gear, or refining metal for architectural projects, the Ironworks Forge remains one of the most essential facilities in Starhaven’s continued growth and infrastructure efforts.

Craftwood Carpentry

Now operating out of a much larger multi-room facility, Craftwood Carpentry is capable of handling delicate scrollwork, household furnishings, and large construction components with ease. It plays an integral role in both private and public development projects. The air always carries the scent of sawdust and varnish, and locals often visit for handcrafted furniture, tools, and seasonal decor.

Rise and Shine Bakery

The scent of warm bread and sweet pastries drifts from the windows of Rise and Shine. The bakery’s shelves are always stocked with fresh loaves, rustic pies, and buttery treats made with seasonal ingredients. Simple, comforting, and always delicious, it’s the type of place that quickly becomes part of your routine, whether you’re stopping by for a morning roll or picking up something sweet on the way home.

Seasons Table

More than just a restaurant, Seasons Table has become one of the most vibrant gathering places in Starhaven. The menu changes with the seasons, highlighting local produce, fresh catches, and inventive culinary experiments. With a larger seating area and an outdoor dining space, the restaurant now hosts community dinners, food-themed festivals, and cooking classes. It remains one of the most cherished places to unwind after a long day.

The Crystal Lantern

The Crystal Lantern is Starhaven’s go-to spot for a warm bed and lively evenings. With its cosy wooden interiors and soft lantern light, it offers a welcoming space for both residents and visitors. Expanded to welcome the island’s growing population, the inn now boasts more rooms, a better-stocked bar, and a redesigned performance stage.

Starhaven Sundies

Starhaven Sundries is the go-to spot for everyday essentials. From lantern oil to simple lunchboxes, the shop carries a rotating selection of tools, household goods, snacks, and seasonal items. A chalkboard out front lists weekly specials and community notices. It’s the kind of place you stop by for one thing and leave with five.

Butchery

Now better equipped and streamlined, the butchery supplies quality cuts of meat to the island's households and eateries alike. Storage facilities and preparation counters have been upgraded to handle greater volume. Speciality meats, imported spices, and house-seasoned blends are occasionally sold in small batches, making it a surprise favourite for home chefs and foodies.

The Gilded Thimble & Sole

What began as a small tailoring studio has grown into a full-fledged boutique and workshop. Now known as The Gilded Thimble & Sole, the shop offers an impressive variety of fabrics, embroidery services, and seasonal fashion lines alongside a newly added shoemaking corner. Custom garments, ceremonial robes, durable footwear, and practical wear are all crafted with care and a personal touch. From hand-stitched boots to beaded slippers, the shoemaker’s bench is rarely empty.

Starhaven Research Facility

Already the largest building in Starhaven, the Research Facility has seen further upgrades. New wings have been added to accommodate cross-disciplinary studies in flora, fauna, and arcana. The building now houses a lecture hall, shared workspaces, and a secure vault for sensitive samples. As one of the island’s proudest institutions, it has begun to draw in researchers from other regions.

The Arcane Emporium

A visit to the Arcane Emporium is like stepping into another world. The shop is adorned with extravagant furnishings, shimmering fabrics, and intricate chandeliers that cast a magical glow over the entire space. Every inch of the emporium exudes opulence. Some might call the decor over the top, but Caladryn, the shop owner, clearly has an eye for luxury and dramatic flair.

Church of Harmony

The once-humble chapel has grown into one of Starhaven’s most beloved landmarks. Renovations have added a bell tower, improved acoustics, and a peaceful garden just outside its walls. Since her arrival, Neria has become a guiding presence, dedicating much of her time to the chapel’s upkeep and spiritual work. Under her care, the site has flourished, and so has devotion to the Goddess of Light. At the centre of the church's garden stands a statue: a woman with undefined features. Rumours say prayers made at the statue bring blessings, drawing hopeful visitors from beyond the island. While still welcoming all faiths, the chapel has quietly become a place of miracles said to be granted by Lumina.

Library

The Starhaven Library now spans multiple rooms filled with bookshelves, study nooks, and archival collections. It includes both contemporary literature and rare tomes, offering a blend of leisure and academic reading. Quiet, welcoming, and filled with the soft rustle of turning pages, it has become a peaceful retreat for scholars and daydreamers alike.

The Seasonal Times

Starhaven’s local newspaper, The Seasonal Times, operates out of a cosy office. Its bulletin board is always pinned with notes, schedules, and half-scribbled headlines. Inside, desks are stacked with parchment and ink, and the scent of fresh tea mingles with the rustle of turning pages. Each seasonal edition includes news updates, community highlights, editorials, and the occasional odd story from around the island.

Pigeon Post Office

Expanded to accommodate the town’s growing communication needs, the Pigeon Post Office now handles local and overseas mail, small packages, and seasonal courier services. The building still features its namesake pigeon, who remains nested comfortably on the roof. During festivals, the post office offers decorative mail and themed deliveries.

Mermaid's Reach

Beyond the golden sands, past the cliffs at the edge of Golden Beach, lies a hidden stretch of coast known as Mermaid's Reach. The shoreline shimmers with colourful sea glass and smooth stones, glinting in the sun like scattered jewels. When the tide is low, cave mouths emerge from the rocky cliffs. Some of the sea caves are narrow and twisting, others vast with worn stone walls. Treasures can sometimes be found within the caves, likely carried in by the currents from old shipwrecks. However, exploring them isn’t without risk. The deeper you go, the more dangerous the paths become.

Sundrop Springs

Tucked between rocky hills and flowering shrubs, Sundrop Springs offers a tranquil escape for body and mind. With naturally heated mineral pools, private bathing rooms, and a serene atmosphere, it has quickly become a popular spot for rest and rejuvenation. Some say the waters hold magical properties, but such claims remain unconfirmed. A plaque by the entrance honours the residents who helped make the bathhouse a reality: With gratitude to Yenu and Iores, whose contributions brought this place to life.

Starfall Field

Once the epicentre of magical phenomena, Starfall Field is best known for the massive crystal that grew at the site of the meteor crash. Over time, clusters of similar crystals formed throughout the crater, creating a glittering landscape. Since the explosion of the main crystal and its subsequent use in research, active study at the site has lessened. While lingering magical energy still hums faintly in the air, the area is no longer considered dangerous. The most volatile zones have been made inaccessible through protective barriers.

Bedrock Quarry and Mines

Following the discovery of a new vein of ore, the Bedrock Quarry has added a working mine to its operations. With new tunnels and reinforced supports, it now provides building stone, gemstones, and metals. The expansion has led to increased mining activity and a more efficient supply chain, making it one of Starhaven’s key industrial zones.

Sunpetal Glade

This wide, sun-dappled clearing is nestled deep within the woods. Wildflowers bloom in abundance, and a crystal-clear stream cuts through the glade, its banks dotted with smooth stones perfect for resting on. It's a popular picnic spot and the perfect place for nature walks. In the spring, butterflies fill the air in dazzling colours, giving the glade its nickname: "The Meadow of Wings."

Fogbloom Lake

A calm, freshwater lake nestled between gently sloping hills and quiet woodland. The water is cool, clear, and perfect for swimming, fishing, or simply resting by the shore. Wildflowers bloom along the edges, and birds nest in the nearby reeds. On still mornings, mist drifts lazily across the surface, creating a quiet atmosphere. Whether you're there to relax, reflect, or enjoy the gentle sounds of nature, Fogbloom Lake is a peaceful retreat from the bustle of everyday life.

Mossveil Grove

Tucked beneath the gentle canopy of flowering trees and lush moss, Mossveil Grove is one of the most tranquil places on the island. Mushrooms of all sizes and colours grow here in clusters, and bioluminescent caps glow faintly at dusk, lighting the grove with a soft, otherworldly shimmer. Despite its dreamlike atmosphere, the area is perfectly safe and often visited by artists, herbalists, and anyone in need of a quiet moment to breathe.

Outpost

Tucked beyond the treeline outside of town, the Outpost is a sturdy wooden structure built on a natural rise overlooking the surrounding forest. It serves as the base of operations for both the scouts and watchers. The building's weathered walls are lined with old maps, hand-carved markers, and notes from countless ventures into the wild. Equipment hangs neatly from pegs, and a faint trail of bootprints leads in every direction. Despite its rough appearance, the space feels lived-in and well-organised.

Whispering Path

A winding trail that leads toward the deeper woods of the Verdant Verge, the Whispering Path is known for the way the wind slips through the trees, creating faint murmurs that seem to follow travellers as they walk. It’s a popular spot for gathering rare herbs and vibrant plants, but few linger for too long. There’s something about the way the shadows fall here, the feeling of being watched, that makes even seasoned foragers uneasy.

Verdant Verge

A mysterious and densely overgrown stretch of forest, Verdant Verge is known for its unnatural vibrancy. Plants grow at alarming rates, often overtaking paths overnight, and the air is heavy with pollen and unfamiliar scents. Even seasoned scouts find it difficult to navigate, as traditional tracking methods often fail here. While beautiful, the area is known to be dangerous, not only because of the terrain but also because of the unusually intelligent animals that dwell within it.

Silent Ruins

Hidden deep within the forest, these crumbling stone structures are the first known sign of civilisation on the island, believed to date back to a time before the Great Darkness. Covered in moss and etched with strange symbols, the are around the ruins is eerily quiet. Nearby lies a still, glassy pool that never ripples. Cold air lingers in the clearing even on warm days. Researchers are still working to decipher the markings, but many people avoid the place entirely, uneasy with its silence.

Mirrorpool

Located beside the Silent Ruins, the Mirrorpool is a perfectly round, unnaturally still basin of water known for its clear, undisturbed reflections. No matter how strong the wind, its surface never ripples. After an animal was found dead shortly after drinking from it, cause unknown, people are strictly warned not to enter. Some believe its strange nature is linked to the nearby ruins, possibly magical in origin.

Mount Argent

Long obscured by dense forests and ever-present mist, Mount Argent has only recently come into clearer view. Named for the way its rocky peaks shimmer silver at dawn, it towers over the landscape like a sleeping giant. The mountain’s slopes are rugged and largely untouched, with only a few daring explorers venturing upward. Steam sometimes rises from higher ridges, suggesting geothermal activity beneath the surface. It remains largely unexplored for now.

★ Events ★

There are different types of events that will be held in the group. An event will run from anything between two weeks up to two months, depending on its content. For example, a mini-event about fishing will most likely only run for two weeks, whereas a big story event will most likely run for two months to give everyone enough time to participate. Art and writing created for events will earn EXP and bonus GP. There is no set interval or order in which events will be held. Breaks might be taken in between events, but they will never take more than four weeks.

Story Events
Story events will, as the name suggests, contribute to the story of the group. Group members will actively shape the story with their contributions and choices made throughout these events. The nature of these events differs depending on the content.


Town Events
Town events encompass all events that revolve around Starhaven without actively contributing to the setting's story. This includes events about the expansion of the town, as well as events to celebrate seasonal holidays. Group members will be able to actively shape the expansion of the town with their contributions and choices made throughout some of these events. The nature of these events differs depending on the content.


Mini-Events
Mini-events are mostly small, light-hearted events that include prompts and mini-games. Members can host mini-events for special occasions. Want to celebrate your cat's 2nd birthday with everyone else in town or show off the pretty roses in your garden with a garden show? You can host a mini-event for those occasions!


Event Prompts
Specific prompts will be available for events, granting additional GP and/or EXP.


Mini-Games
Some events will include mini-games to make things a bit more fun. These mini-games might make use of the stat system.


Bond Levels
Sometimes, events will include chances to strengthen bonds between characters. By taking part in these prompts, characters can deepen their relationships and even gain bond levels through shared experiences or meaningful interactions. These opportunities don’t come around often, making them a special way to grow connections.


Time Skips
There might be time skips that are tied to the story. They will be announced in a timely manner and will cover a few years at most.

★ Bond Levels ★

Bond levels represent a unique aspect of character relationships, adding an additional layer to their dynamic. They don’t necessarily reflect how close characters are - two characters can be best friends or in a relationship without having a high bond level. Bond levels C through A can be earnt with as many characters as you'd like, while Bond Level S is something special - it can only be earnt once, with someone your character holds especially close to their heart. Bond levels are tied to characters, not members. Bond Level rewards do not stack.

★ OC Creation ★

★ Stats ★

Stats are being distributed at character creation and will mostly become relevant during mini-games and prompts. The number of a specific stat is the modifier that will be added to your rolls on a d20. A character with a 3/5 strength stat would therefore roll a 1d20 + 3 to pick up a boulder, and a character with a -1/5 dex stat would roll a 1d20 - 1 to shoot an arrow. Whether a roll counts as a success or a fail depends on the game/prompt and will be included in its description.
The stat system is supposed to make certain things more fun and interesting, it won't have a direct influence on the story. You can also use the stat system during RPs to see if your character succeeds a certain task, but this is not mandatory.

★ Application ★

Next Opening: June 9th - July 8th

> There aren’t any strict caps for job slots, but the goal is to keep things balanced across the group to ensure variety and diversity.>For uncommon or rare species (half-elves, witches, and dragonkin), it’s always a good idea to have a reason why your character is that specific species. This can make their story more compelling and help them stand out!> While overly tragic backstories aren’t outright discouraged, keep in mind that overly dramatic or traumatic plot points aren’t necessary to create an interesting and engaging character. Sometimes, simpler or more nuanced stories can be just as, if not more, impactful.

★ Why did my app get rejected? ★

Individual feedback won't be sent out, but if you don't make it in, then it's most likely because at least one of the following reasons apply to your application:
> your app is incomplete; anything beyond the min. requirements for written and visual app are completely optional but your app has to meet the min. requirements> your app isn't compliant with the lore/world setting> too many adjustments are needed; small fixes are easy to make, but if there is a bigger or too many things that need to be adjusted, an app won't pass (that's why app checks are highly recommended!)> needed information isn't on the app> notes from app checks are disregarded or barely acknowledged; if you have any questions or disagree with something, then please voice this and don't simply ignore the feedback you were given> you have displayed unpleasant behaviour in the guest-chats; we are a community, if you make people repetitiously uncomfortable/upset with the way you act, it will reflect on your application

★ GP & EXP ★

GP and EXP can be earnt through art and writing. While GP can be earnt at any given moment, EXP will only be awarded for event art/writing.
GP can be used in the town shop to buy things, while EXP will determine your rank. Some shop items will only be available for purchase once you reach a certain rank. Ranks will be tracked for members, not characters.

★ Rules ★

Communication is key
Conflict and misunderstandings are inevitable and happen in groups. Please keep in mind that people rarely intend to upset others. If someone upset you, give them a chance to adjust their behaviour. The best way to keep things from escalating is to communicate clearly, promptly and kindly. Passive aggressive comments will only make things worse and won’t solve anything. When needed, you can reach out to the mod to help you sort out any issues at any given moment.Treat everyone with respect
No topics are forbidden, but you should treat everyone with respect and approach sensitive topics appropriately if you want to broach them. It’s okay to vent, but please avoid creating an overly pessimistic atmosphere and pulling other members down with you if you aren’t feeling well. This is an LGBTQ+ friendly group and hate speech of any kind won’t be tolerated.Don’t shadow block members
You don’t have to interact with every single group member if you don’t want to, but shadow blocking another member causes several issues. It hinders the group’s ability to function. If a group of people are in a channel and chatting but one of them isn’t aware that they are invisible to another member, it causes a lot of confusion. It also prevents the mod from moderating properly; if someone did something so bad that it’s blockable, the mod should be aware of it. If you want to block someone but don’t feel comfortable talking to them, inform the mod first. Blocking another member should always be the last resort and not the first step in order to resolve a conflict.Don’t be horny on main
This is an 18+ group, jokes are fine here and there, but please don’t go overboard. Use the appropriate channels if you want to talk about things in detail. NSW artwork should never be posted outside of the designated channels.Use the chats properly
Each chat has its proper use. Please check the pinned messages to see the individual information. Don’t worry if you click on the wrong chat when sending a message once or twice. It happens. Just don’t make a habit out of it.Separate IC and OOC
Just because someone disagrees with your character, or their character doesn’t get along with yours, doesn’t mean that they dislike you. Do keep this in mind.Don’t godmod
Never losing, being invulnerable or too powerful, etc. is never fun for anyone - except maybe for yourself. Don’t forget that RPing is a cooperative experience.AI art, tracing and bases
Do not submit AI-generated work as your own, especially not to earn in-group currency or as part of your application. Tracing another artist’s work is also not allowed. Using bases is okay, as long as you give credit where it’s due.Respect the mod’s time
The mod isn’t just a mod, they are also a member of the group. If you see the mod in the general chat or in the VC, don’t ask them any mod-related questions. Instead, post them in the questions channel or open a ticket.Mod contact
Do not DM the mod about group-related matters. If you have a question, issue, or request related to the group, post it in the appropriate place (e.g. #questions, #registration, #support-ticket) so it can be properly seen and handled. Don’t forget to ping the mod - things might get missed otherwise!

★ FAQ ★

Do subtypes of the magical elements exists?
Yesn't. Subtypes - such as ice or sand magic - do exist, but they are not considered their own categories. Instead, they are counted as part of one of the six magical elements. Using the aforementioned examples, ice would be considered part of water magic and sand would be considered part of earth magic.

Can my character have a job that isn't listed?
No. Currently, only the listed jobs can be picked. However, the list of jobs will expand as the town grows and in the future, custom jobs will become available.

Do witches age physically?
Yes. Witches age physically. Witches normally age a bit slower than humans do, but they nonetheless age. A 60-year-old witch will never look like a person in their 20s.

Do dragonkin age physically?
Yes. Dragonkin age physically, though at a different rate than humans do. After hitting 30, dragonkin begin to physically age slower. For reference, a middle-aged dragonkin (in appearance) would be around 150 years old.

Does the world have a normal day/night cycle?Yes. Only the weather/climate is affected by the Gods' magic, the day/night cycle hasn't changed.

Will there be activity checks?
Yes. Activity checks will be held in the future, although there are no exact plans yet on when that will be. Activity checks won't be overly strict, however. You won't have to draw 10 pieces of artwork or write 20 pages in order to pass.

Can my character have tattoos and piercings?
Yes. Tattoos and piercings aren't very common, but certain communities or bigger cities might offer these services.

How advanced is technology in Mythria?
The world is moderately advanced when it comes to technology as people generally put a bigger focus on the studies of magic than technology or mechanics.

Do trains exist in the setting?
Yes. Trains exist, but they are rare and mostly exist to make the transportation of wares between the different regions easier. Most people have never ridden a train before as tickets are rather expensive.

Can costs be split between parties when buying a medium house or upgrades?
Yes. This is absolutely possible. Just make a note when filling out the form so that everything is properly recorded.
