10/1/20 — Spring has returned, and with it comes the second year of Uncharted's existence. Much has changed within the land, with plenty of new realms for your characters to discover, and, potentially, new places to call their home.
9/20/20 — The Kingdom of Atollon has been discovered by Kira. To celebrate the new Kingdom, native peoples discovered with the island realm are hosting a festival that all are invited to. Additionally, the realm of Umbram has been unearthed by its new sovereigns, Castalla and Wolfram. The kingdom is hosting a Masquerade ball to celebrate their founding. 9/1/20 — With autumn now past, Esmeda Forest has disappeared as mysteriously as it came, leaving behind only the gems that were taken and a wreath of impenetrable mist in its place. Winter has come now, seizing the strange land in a chill that grows icier by the day. 8/2/20 — Uncharted stirs. With Autumn comes an imperceptible change in the world's underlying sorcery. The fabric of reality begins to fray and to the south of Prosfora Meadows, where nothing had once laid, grows a rainforest. Plucked from the not-so-distant memory of @Galahad, unseen forces bring this land to brief fruition and instill a sudden curiosity into the minds of its inhabitants to go south. Those who heed this desire to explore find Esmeda Forest and the opportunity for riches... 8/1/20 — Fall has arrived to Uncharted. The heat has made a steep decline, and some leaves have begun to creep into a wide variety of harvest colors. Fog often greets the morning, and the sun sets considerably earlier come dusk. 7/24/20 — The fog that lines the Northern border of Prosfora Meadows begins to ebb one morning; unfurling like a dark curtain, its wreaths of smoke dragging nails over the bed of flowers as, with heaving reluctance, it loosens its hold upon the earth, pressured by the prying eyes that scour its fading grip. And one dream, one preternatural vision, takes purchase. In the form of a dilapidated village, wreathed in the permafrost of decay and lined with the rubble, the ruin, of a people long lost… 7/8/20 — Uncharted expands just as it had begun ─ silently, without warning, giving no indication to its residents that it has decided to create existence beyond the supernatural embrace of Prosfora Meadows' treeline. In one moment, nothing lies beyond the silent forest sentinels, and in the next... 7/1/20 — Summer is here! Temperatures within the meadow have begun to spike, although the mild nature of Prosfora is just enough to stave off intense heat. Still, the winding river of Ilikos looks mighty appealing. Meanwhile, the Leopectas that emerged in Dyo have gone into hiding, other than the small few that made off with new friends... 6/19/20 — Small creatures have crawled out of the nooks and crannies of Dyo, summoned by the sound of equines arriving to the waking land. Maybe, if you find one, they'll stay around for a while... 6/9/20 — It’s unknown how Uncharted came into being. It simply did not exist ─ until it did. It was borne of no Godly whim or supernatural entity. It bears no scars of past war or strife. It simply exists. Those who find Uncharted do not generally find it intentionally. They are teleported from past lives or from beyond the grave. Perhaps they wandered too far into the forest and suddenly found themselves in a new world. There are no distinct portals or entrances, but one thing is for certain: It cannot be found on any map. |
Azazel is a dainty little mare, though don’t let her size fool you. She stands at 15.3 hh, what she lacks in stature she makes up for in attitude. The mare is predominantly a pale rose cream in color, with darker marks along her legs and over her face. She has a long leonine tail, which is spotted with the same darker rosy brown as her legs and face. Those same spots freckle across her flanks, neck, and even up along the delicate expanse of her wings. Her wings are relatively small compared to most Pegasus; however, they do still serve to hold her aloft, albeit she does have to work harder to do so. Her hooves are a metallic silver in color, as is the horn which curves out from the center of her forehead.
Her eyes are by far the most striking feature she has, being a bright cerulean in color, contrasting sharply against the dark brown of her face. The hair on her mane and tail are a light cream color, with her mane almost always kept tidy in loosely gathered lengths. Her hair is held back by several bands of silvery color, and between them hangs a sickle moon, a star, and two feathers. They are incredibly important to her, and if she were to be without them, she may well have a panic attack.
While Azazel can be feisty and sassy, surprisingly she’s actually quite shy-when around others of her own kind. Due to losing the only equine family she ever knew at such a young age, she doesn’t know how to act around other equines, and therefore is quite shy around them, at least until she gets to know them and can slowly come out of her shell. Much like the mountain lions who took her in and, arguably, shaped her into the mare she is today, she is fiercely protective of those she cares about. If you are so fortunate as to earn her trust, she will stick by you no matter what.
After that ordeal, life got better for Azazel, after all, there was nowhere to go but up, right? Wrong. As she was so very young and unable to really fend for herself, she managed to eke out an existence feeding on whatever she could find, and ultimately, she ended up getting deathly ill. She doesn’t know how long she laid there, weak and barely breathing, when she was found by the most unlikely of heroes. The same pair of mountain lions which had saved her (however unintentionally) before, stumbled across her limp form.
Rather than take advantage of the easy meal before them, they actually took her back to their den, and nursed her back to health. The female had just had a little cub of her own, and was able to spare some milk to help get the little foal healthy enough to eat solid food again. Once she was able to stomach solids, somehow the mountain lions knew what kinds of food she could eat, and, astoundingly, did what they could to bring some back for her at first, and when she was strong enough to move around, she accompanied them on their hunts, taking the opportunity to feed herself.
There was one lasting effect of her illness that no amount of nursing back to health could fix. Her fever had grown so high, to the point where she lost her hearing. It was a miracle that she didn’t lose her sight as well. Through no small miracle, however, the mountain lions were adept at using all of their senses, and thus taught Azazel to survive on her own. For they were generally nomadic creatures, and had stayed in one place for too long whilst nursing her back to health.
Assured she would be better suited to survive on her own, they parted, albeit reluctantly. Aza has been on her own ever since, though she has never forgotten the kindness shown to her by the most unlikely of surrogate families.
Remiel has been with Azazel for a short while, but already he is an integral part of her life and who she is. Ever since she managed to win him over with what he's claimed since was the most mediocre hare he's ever had (but secretly thinks it's the best he's ever had), he's never strayed far from her side. He's a massive mountain lion, for his kind, standing about three feet tall at the shoulder, and measuring in at over nine feet long, including his tail. In many ways he's Azazel's opposite.
He says what he thinks, and can be rather aggressive/caustic in his words. He can be understood by others, primarily out of Azazel's desire to be able to communicate more easily with others aside from herself and Remiel. However oftentimes he will add his own input when speaking for Azazel, or, if he deems something someone said as not worthy of Azazel's attention or if it is hurtful, he will deliberately not tell her. He's always happy to resort to violence, much to Aza's chagrin. He makes sure everyone knows that if they mess with Aza, they mess with him, and he happens to thoroughly enjoy the taste of equine.
