Crestfallen is a long-term, literate fantasy roleplay set in the world of Dicathen—a continent rich in elemental magic, political unrest, and powerful legacies. From the floating academy of Xyrus to the elven forests of Elenoir, Dicathen is a land divided by race, status, and the fragile balance of power. Magic users are ranked by their elemental affinity and their ability to manipulate mana—conjurers shape spells externally, while augmenters enhance their own physicality. Children awaken their mana cores early in life, and their paths are shaped by noble lineage, magical potential, or sheer determination. Beneath the surface of society lie decades of quiet corruption, ancient grudges, and the brewing threat of war—between kingdoms, and perhaps something far greater.

This RP follows characters from childhood through various life stages—noble duties, rebellion, adventuring, academic life, and eventually into the chaos of war. While character-driven at its core, Crestfallen is about more than personal stories—it explores what happens when children are shaped by broken systems, when power is inherited but not understood, and when even the most sheltered are forced to confront the truths outside their walls. The pacing is slow-burn, with space for meaningful development, quiet moments, intense conflict, and layered relationships. Combat and magic will play a central role, but so will loyalty, grief, betrayal, and what it means to survive in a world that was never fair to begin with.

I'm looking for a small number of literate writers who are passionate about long-form storytelling, collaborative lore-building, and emotionally grounded arcs. This isn't a drop-in sandbox—it's a gradual, narrative-heavy journey. If you’re interested, feel free to DM or comment below! Also, I'm open to suggestions and would love some help in building the story. Depending on what kind of characters you want to do, we can adjust the storyline and all.

Gonna point out that I'm sort of new around here and with Role-plays in general, but I am creative and very dedicated!
Magic 100%
Mundane? What's that? Magic permeates every part of the setting. Almost everyone has access to strong magic.
Technology 40%
Industrial revolution
Combat 70%
More combat than not. The setting may be at war, and the characters will likely get involved whether or not they seek it out.
Romance 30%
Some romance is possible, but the overall plot is more important.
