Character Deaths

[narnians]

Character Deaths

If your character is dead or is about to die and you know he/she will due to plotting reasons, please leave a comment here. Aslan will breathe life back into them within one-three days, though the Lion likes to teach lessons, so consequences are likely. These consequences might be good or bad, and you're allowed to make suggestions here, just know that ultimately, it's all up to Aslan.

Even Aslan gets tired from time to time. So be warned. If your characters are dying too often or not learning their lessons, the punishments could become as severe as a character reset (loss of all Narnian memories) or a much more extended death. (This is to discourage reckless behavior and over-abuse of the reviving opportunities. The more often your character dies, the longer it will take for Aslan to bring them back. He is, after all, a very busy Lion.

Character: What character died?
Cause of Death: Link us to the thread in question if possible and line out roughly how it came to it if there is a longer plot involved.
Suggested Consequence: Was your character playing the hero and deserves a treat? Was he being an asshole and deserves to be taken down a peg? Write your suggestion here, though Aslan might have different plans.
How many times have they died: Is this their first death? Their 4th?

The Journal

[narnians]

Magic Journals

When you arrive, you will have whatever you carried at the time with you. And a book. A book with endless pages, a book that shows pictures that move, a book that speaks in many voices and - last but not least - a book that can be read and written into.

It's light enough to be carried easily and somehow it fits easily into most bags, despite the many pages within.

Whether your character is a Narnian or Narnian OC, who was already living out their lives in the wild country, or a new comer to Narnia's great forests and shining shores, awaking to the spring breeze for the first time, they will find before them a book.

Not just any book, a very special and magical book.

One thing is certain. The book in the grass before you calls to you like a very piece of you, long lost and missing. Its pages blank, though they hold your tale, you can not read it. Only Aslan can, and he will tell no one's tale but yours to you.

Whatever the case, however strong your resolve, you still find yourself picking the strangely light book up. You may marvel at the way it seems to shift shape, size and weight to suit your immediate needs, or at the moving images, crystal clear, or words that appear like magic on the pages or carried on the air around you.

This book is yours. You know it is. Why ever would you leave it in the grass? Pick up the book, and let your story begin.

How to label Journal posts:
There are three kinds of posts you can make with the journals
Text: When you write in the journal, the writing is visible to everyone else and can be responded to as well.
Audio: With audio posts, others will be able to hear what you are saying and respond.
Visual: These posts allow others to see and hear everything you are doing.

Because these books are magical items, you will find that, when desired, you can filter these posts to specific eyes. Be wary, however, for even the trees can talk, and you can never truly know who is on whose side.

Be careful. Magical journals sometimes have a mind of their own. Those tricky little books might just record without your knowledge if you do not watch them closely

What the Hell is Narnia?

[narnians]

Narnia was created by Aslan's song some thousands of years ago. Due to a couple of unfortunate coincidences, the creation was disrupted by the arrival of Jadis, the White Queen, two grown sons of Adam and two children, a daughter of Eve and a son of Adam.

Because of what their disruption caused, Aslan decided that it should be a son of Adam and a daughter of Eve on Narnia's throne to restore and keep the balance and he further announced that whenever there would be a son of Adam or daughter of Eve on said throne, Narnia would thrive and prosper.

Many years later Jadis had managed to usurp the rightful ruler and place herself as Narnia's White Queen. With her she brought eternal cold and snow, winter without it ever being Christmas.

Through Aslan's will a daughter of Eve found her way through a wardrobe and beyond it she found the magical world of Narnia. Together with her three siblings she faced many adventures and a great battle and finally the two daughters of Eve and two sons of Adam became the rightful rulers with Aslan's blessing and a golden age for Narnia began once more.

The four siblings left for their world again, however, and after several more years, a dark age had begun for Narnia.

Telmarines from behind the Western Mountains had invaded the land and defeated the Narnians. The Telmarines were suspicious of magic, of talking animals and fantastic creatures, even of Aslan himself. The Narnians that had survived the invasion had no choice but to go into hiding.

It wasn't until Caspian - the rightful heir to the throne - had defeated his uncle with help of the four former kings and queens from the golden age, who returned to aid him, that Narnia became free once more.

Now Caspian has to face the challenge of trying to unify a country that has been divided for ages under one ruler.

Now is the time of rebuilding and new order. The Ruins of Cair Paravel are being rebuilt, Telmarines and Narnians are adjusting to a life of peaceful cohabitation, and King Caspian is learning what it means to be the King of Narnia.

In all the chaos, the Wood Between the Worlds has been disrupted, drawing in people and creatures through portals to other worlds. With unpredictable rates and results

Who is Who in Narnia?

[narnians]

Meet the Narnians

Aslan
The Lion, son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea, a wise and compassionate being, but far from a tame beast. He is powerful beyond imagination and can be dangerous, despite his loving nature. He knows all there is to know about you and everyone else, you can't hide your secrets from him and he knows your story, though he won't tell you more than you should know and he won't tell you anyone else's.

Narnia was created by him. He is its guardian and it is very likely that he is responsible for pulling these many different beings into the world, to help recreate a balance. There is a reason for all he does, that much is certain.

Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.

He will come and go, but you must never press him. He's not a tame Lion, after all.

Caspian X, King of Narnia, Lord of Cair Paravel and Emperor of The Lone Islands
As you may have guessed, this young man is somewhat important, as he is the ruler of all. He has just very, very recently come into that position, named the rightful heir by Aslan himself.

Caspian is courageous, noble, handsome and everything one would wish of a king. He might still be a little inexperienced and brash at times, but luckily he has advisors to help him out. Here's hoping those advisors don't have ulterior motives, because unfortunately Caspian's position is far from being unquestioned.

Ysegrim, The Wolf
Who is afraid of the big, bad wolf? You should be. He's dark, dangerous and you don't want to be the one standing in his way. Some say he is the very same wolf that has been the White Queen's lieutenant all these centuries ago, but everyone knows that King Peter slew him. Still, certain similarities can't be denied.

Last but not least, a loyalty to the White Queen herself, though she's been gone for this long. Rumor has it that he is a driving force among those who want to bring her back. Be careful when you come across him, he might deem you useful. Still, perhaps better he deem you useful than a threat or an obstacle.

Reynard, The Fox
Where there's a wolf there has to be a fox to oppose him, it's drawn from the stories and it's how it's supposed to be. This particular fox makes claims to have been around since the days of the White Queen and longer, which very well might be true, though he's a notorious liar.

Also known as Reynard, Reineke and under many other names, he can take on a human form and he seems to have as easy a time to switch loyalties. While he seems fond enough of the young king, he's infamous for stirring up trouble for the hell of it, so who knows what he's planning. Foxes are crafty and clever creatures.

The Lady Adriana
Lady Adriana's husband was killed in the battle that earned Caspian his crown. Raised a proud Telmarine, she was suspicious of magic, talking beasts and mythical creatures before then, but with her sorrow her heart was filled with hatred. Only her children are still loved by her with fierce protectiveness.

She didn't leave, because she didn't trust the offer and because she wants to see Caspian broken and old Narnia destroyed for good. So far, she is still pretending to be loyal to the King, while she searches for means to reach her end.

Theseus, The Trader
Theseus was a Telmarine up until the war, when he abandoned the city and Miraz to make his living trading between the different cities. He has allies in many places, of all sorts, if you can call them allies. It is hard to judge when and where he will show up, but you can always be certain he will have new wares to trade. If you are having a difficult time getting your hands on something, he's the one to talk to. Just don't be surprised when he isn't too keen on talking back.
