On this day, we so swear to the Sky our allegiance.
May my sword cut down those who'd threaten years of peace.
May my blade guide them to the light, and find peace by the Gods.
May my armor protect the innocent and shield them from harm.
And may my dragon, bold and strong, forever take wing.
May he be the majestic watcher from the sky, and his wings give comfort.
Shall we forever be the Sky, and the Sky forever take us.
We are the Sky Burners.
The Setup
The is High Medieval and the world is plagued by darkness in every corner. To endure, and possibly prevail from this, mankind united as one with nature's most powerful and unforgiving of creatures--dragons. For a matter of centuries man and beast have fought along one another as brothers enough to expand into an entire brotherhood.
The story begins at Haestrom, the central settlement of the land, Tharia, where all Sky Burners are born. Those who are lucky enough to succeed and pass the Dragon Trials ascend from their current position, where they must then set out and bond with a dragon that chooses them. There are many who have failed just as there are many who have succeeded. Some even die. Regardless, once you are a burner there is no turning back to your normal life.
Our heroes(or villains) are just starting out in the trials, fresh from their homes. You are an adolescent, a teenager(14 -17), who idolizes the Burners and what they do. In turn, you've signed yourself over in hopes to make the cut. Some locals argue training kids is mere madness, but others see it as an opportunity. For the duration of the trials, you shall be housed, clothed, and fed at Carver Keep--Home of Queen Katherine Carver, descendant of Garrett Carver.
The World
As the world was birthed, Tharia split into four kingdoms.
Haestrom is the birthplace of history's first Burner, Garrett Carver, where all Burners derive. It is the apex of humanity and tranquility. Here dragons can be found in the masses--nearly thousands. The most common species seen are fire dragons. Monarchy rules as the nation's government, led by Queen Katherine Carver.
Aria acts as the maximum tranquil home for the elves and fae, combining magic and nature in harmony. The most common dragons seen here are wind and earth, due to their lush settlement. Here, they are governed by a Council of four, only the eldest and wisest among them may take a seat on the board.
Ascilia is a major market district for the land of Tharia. It houses some of the finest food and produce to date, as well as tailoring, blacksmiths, and guilds--specifically the Hunter's Guild. Here, colonists will find the occasional water dragon swimming about for fish. The district is ruled by a monarchy as well by King Moravar Cornielius III.
RULES:
1: This may be a fantasy RP--which includes magic--but be fair on your grounds. Be fair if you have magical abilities.
2: There will be a 5 day limit for those who've yet to post. If you have not posted in 5 days, your character will be killed. Please IM me a day in advance to avoid this.
3: DON'T FORGET THE FIRST TWO RULES!
4: Keep your posts between 1-3 paragraphs. If you have trouble/writer's block, post what makes you feel comfortable; but make it at least a paragraph.
5: Battles shall come and go in this RP. You will not win them all.
6: DO NOT GODMODE!!
7: Do NOT be a one hit wonder! Taking out a small group of men with your dragon will make sense, but as a man and monster you are both vulnerable.
8: The GM(Me) will control enemies for the sake of plot. If a hit lands on your character, it is only to add to the plot.
9: Make note that you will not be starting out with your dragon. The start of the story belongs to the trials.

Inaugurated at the age of 12, she immediately established a stronger military force, solidified bonds between foreign nations, and secured peace throughout Tharia for her entire monarchy. For her early adult years(18--24) Katherine's military strength made a mark on history in the great war of Drow's Deep; the war that wiped out the blackness as people call it. Towards the start of her matriarch years, she confined herself to only her city in response to the aftermath of Drow's Deep. It is after then did she bare a child by a unnamed knight to carry on her legacy for the coming decades.

Her time is spent either by the docks, in the courtyard, or at the theater in her private booth to admire the shows there.
