For centuries on end, the human race has survived and evolved past the harsh realities defined by mother nature. Across this time, many species have come and gone; however, it stands true that our kind remains paramount in light of the world that we know. It is without a doubt that our finest accomplishment has been the colonization of the four continents which define the realm of El'yssi. Yet even with such feats bestowed upon our species, we remain but an insignificant speck in the grand scheme of the unknown.
Five percent.
This is the fraction of the world that has been documented across the six great nations of the four continents.There exist thousands upon thousands of species ranging from mere bacteria to the greatest of beasts which roam our land, yet all of this remains but a meaningless feat, To some, the prospect of such triviality is a fearful thought; however, for many, the fantasy of the unknown spurs a greater sense of purpose.
Glory...Fame...Wealth...Knowledge...Decades of expeditions into the unknown have been fueled by the conflicting passions of great figures from our past. Yet in light of such differential purpose, a single emotion has remained consistent across the generations of our kind. This emotion is curiosity. It was curiosity which gave us purpose to explore the world that we now come to know; it is curiosity which spurs us back to the time of our ancestors as we wonder the origin of our kind; it is curiosity which forces us to look ahead and wonder what potential awaits us still; it is curiosity which forges the key to Pandora's Box and lights the torch for our journey into the darkness.
What to Expect
The Dawn of New El'yssi is the direct sequel to the El'yssi Chronicles which began with a short term roleplay (The Guild of El'yssi) that spanned across a couple of months. It is not required to have participated or known anything about the predecessor, but expect three former players to join any new sign-ups in this new project. If you are interested, the posts from the predecessor will become available when the sign-ups/OOC is made for this role-play.
The Dawn of New El'yssi will be a longterm experience stretching across four distinct Arcs. With that being said, this role-play is of advanced nature, and players are expected to be capable in both the comprehension of heavy details and the construction of quality posts. If this structure is something you are comfortable with, then allow me to present the grand lore of El'yssi.

All elements of this roleplay are contained within the Wikia. This is on purpose since the Wikia acts as a database for the plethora of information ranging from flora, fauna, items, and more. The goal of this role-play is a unique experience that borrows elements from dice RPGs and the unique allure of exploration. All participants in this role-play will be recent Explorers accepted into the Guild. The characters will be divided into teams, and together, they will study and learn the foundations of exploration before journeying across El'yssi for a grand adventure. Players of this role-play will be encouraged to utilize their creativity in developing the lore of the world through their characters and the fantastical sandbox which surrounds them.
If you have any questions about the expectations of the roleplay or the lore of El'yssi, please do not hestiate in contacting me via PM, this thread, or Skype.
Do note, a secondary OOC exists in a Skype group. If you wish to join, please go to this link: Join conversation
