Basic Information

  • Gallery

    • The end of the path up the Kyaria Mountains and the beginning of the Bastion.
    • The highest point of the Bastion where one can get a good view of the surrounding landscape.
    • The Bastion library- home to the current knowledge of both flora and fauna on the mountain
    • Where most of the indoors aspect of researching a new area occurs. Both scientific and magical experiments and the like happen in here.
    • The Contested tavern sports a rather eclectic menu ranging from simple foodstuffs like sandwiches and water, to more high-end like quiche and exotic roasts and wine.
    • Originating from the leftover water that runs from a natural spring under the Bastion, the Outlook Waterfall is accessible through a tunnel just past the machine room, or by clambering down along the western rocks in the front of the Bastion.
    • The native sentient species of the Kyaria Mountains.
    • Another example of the Anura.

  • The Bastion

    furc://KyariaBastion:MysticalMountain

    Welcome to Kyaria Bastion, an observatory and research center built upon the Kyaria Mountain summit, where life takes every opportunity to shatter one's expectations of the world.

    The sky appears to have no day or night cycle, for the light of the never-ending aurora borealis that paints it is difficult to peer through. The wildlife is familiar, yet strange - schools of colorful glowing fish, eels, jellyfish and other 'aquatic' life swim through the air on unusual magical currents given off by the mountain. The plants dotting the surface of the landscape seem like a glimpse into another world, keeping Kyaria illuminated with bulbs of light glittering on near every tree. The natives are rarely seen and an initially bewildering sight to behold, a cross between angler fish and man. Even the precious materials within the mountain are unlike anywhere else under the sun, from crystals that absorb light, heat or cold and in turn fill the area with their stored energy, to the unusual blue ore named 'Bastium' which seemingly burns eternal once brought to flame - until doused in water.

    It is rumored the unusual magical currents given off by the mountain could pose some long term risk, to anyone not properly protected. Magical ability could be enhanced or reduced, spells warped by the currents into something else entirely, bodies even mutated. Thankfully the many machines set into place in the Bastion pumps the majority of the magical currents back outside, protecting those within from finding out if those fears are founded - though the occasional small fish can find enough to swim inside with.

    Until recently the Bastion has been closed to the general public, but as curious travelers continue to arrive to see the wonders of the mountain this has been relaxed in order to provide them safe haven - provided they promise to look, not touch. Travelers can rest a night at the inn, those seeking a more long term stay can rent out a room in the residential halls. But those with magical, technological or scientific training who seek employment in researching the many oddities of the mountain are paid handsomely for their time and skill.

    No one knows who exactly is funding the Bastion's research or to what end its purpose is, but the inhabitants of the Bastion rarely have a moment to question it - or the inclination, so long as the food, the pay and the company remain more than satisfactory.

    [Visit our library and type !Read while facing bookshelves to sift through the current research known about the minerals, plants, animals and the natives of the mountain.

    Face the residents and press F3 to talk to them, they usually have something new to say.

    If you would like to rent out a room in the Bastion or seek employment within it, just stick around and talk to a staff member to arrange a meeting. Miners, researchers, engineers, smithies, maids, caretakers, shop-keeps and even animal handlers are needed to tend to the Bastion's stables.]

  • The Rules

    There are very few real, set in stone, rules for this place.

    All types of species and character personalities are welcome here, in fact the more diverse the better!

    That said, the dream is set in medieval times, so unfortunately more modern characters are frowned upon. Again, that said, there is wiggle room to the medieval theme- we're breaking with the historical accuracy, so you can to. Just no guns, no cars, no advanced technology etc...

    Mermaids/merfolk type characters- Absolutely and 100% allowed! If you want to say that they too can swim and survive in the magical currents like the fish do, go for it!

    Please do not just claim a room as your own- if you plan on RPing frequently in the dream then you can contact the upload-character and we will discuss which room you would like and what should go in it. I like to try and match the room with the personality of the character.

    Don't destroy parts of the Bastion ICly, for all intents and purposes it's indestructible.

    As of this moment the Anura are not free to play. They need to be fleshed out a little bit more and I don't want to mess up your character design by altering my species facts.
