[20 Mar 2008|11:08am] A Gathering of Shadows A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE RPG ( tentative opening scheduled at 04.16.08 ) moderators the game ooc player directory disclaimer status premise timeline faq rules resources characters cast application "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." --The Oath of the Night's Watch, A Game of Thrones The War of the Five Kings and its subsequent aftermath saw to Prince Tommen Baratheon, in all his youthful pliability, being crowned the rightful King. Meanwhile, Daenerys 'Stormborn' Targaryen from across the Narrow Sea dissolved the unrest in Slaver's Bay and prepared to make true her long awaited ambitions to sail into Westeros. It was not long before the news spilled into Westeros, whether by ravens or by spies and messengers. The mysteries surrounding the identity of Robb's heir notwithstanding, fealties were sworn and allegiances shifted as the West scurried to side with either the House Baratheon or the House Targaryen in anticipation of the Great War That Never Happened. Indeed, the Stags and the Dragons had been a blade's length away from the first blood spilt when the Wall gave. In spite of the fierce efforts by the Night's Watch, under the joint command of Lord Commander Jon Snow and Lord Stannis Baratheon, to keep the Others--and wights--at bay, it was simply not enough. Even as Wildlings lent reinforcements for the Watch, those who had been quick to dismiss the threats from the north soon learned that the Starks' warnings of old had not merely been fanciful tales as originally believed. A temporary truce was declared by all sides of the impending battle for the throne, and the Others were once more driven back by the combined forces of men and dragons. The war that was placed on hold was reignited with barely a moment to breathe, the first strike hitting hard and fast for those still reeling from the War of the Frozen North.

For the Christmas season of 1976, Zonko's Joke Shop developed a fabulous new product. Magical journals that were connected by an intricate network of spells and allowed their owners to write entries that were public, hexed private to specific parties, or private to just themselves. They were a hot-ticket item and the shop was soon flooded with orders, causing a rush to make more. The Ministry, however, catching wind of the product, could see the potential danger in them. In the Wizarding World, with a dark and ominous power rising, an open and uncontrolled communication network like these journals could cause unseen dangers. They ordered a complete halt to production of the volumes. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done. The journals were being used for innocuous household tasks, basic communication, and teenager gossip, yes. But the Dark Lords young followers had also seen the potential in the magic books, using them for long distance communication as well as, in some cases, keeping up appearances with the rest of the Wizarding community. Presently, it is the beginning of the school year, fall 1977. James Potter and Lily Evans are Head students. The world outside the school is becoming more and more oppressive and dangerous. Albus Dumbledore and his Order of the Phoenix are becoming increasingly worried about Lord Voldemort and his followers. And most importantly, the disturbing interest the Dark Lord seems to be developing in Hogwarts and its students. For Lord Voldemort knows that the young wizards and witches turned out by Dumbledore will either make powerful allies, or potentially irksome enemies. As the school term commences, Aurors and Auror Trainees have been stationed in Hogsmeade. They are to patrol the school and the school grounds, and keep as low a profile as possible. While the students attempt to finish their exams, study, make friends, fight, fall in love, and enjoy their remaining time at Hogwarts (or suffer through it, as the case may be), they cannot ignore the dark changes in the world around them.

Before Harry Potter could reach the diadem, before the fighting could truly begin, Death Eaters stormed the castle and it was over before it had begun. Finally, with the Boy Who Lived in his hands, Voldemort was free to do as he pleased with the Wizarding World. Those who were present at the battle, as well as all Muggleborns and those who are loyal to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, were rounded up. Hogsmeade was transformed into a concentration camp, and all of those who had been captured were imprisoned. Witches and wizards from all walk of life now live together, scattered throughout numbered buildings in the town. They have duties they must perform, chores that need attending, and what little freedom they do have is carefully watched by the Death Eaters who rule the town. If anyone is caught breaking the rules, they are punished - and those who declare loyalty to Voldemort and the Death Eaters are rewarded. Life is no longer a right; it is a privilege. All the while, the imprisoned Order of the Phoenix will do what it must in order to escape. But with little privacy, alert guards, and no magic at their disposal, all they can do is stay together and do whatever it takes to survive. Many popular characters still open! Most needed characters include: DRACO MALFOY, NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM, FRED WEASLEY, LUNA LOVEGOOD, ORDER MEMBERS! Opened 22 February post comment

[20 Mar 2008|11:22pm] premise rules faqs character list parents list application pbs newbie's guide contact list classes professors house points calendar friends add hiatus notice NAVIGATION Times change and people grow. From war blooms peace and prosperity; from a time of constant vigilance and violence comes forth an era nurtured and protected by its past to walk a road that can only head towards a brighter future. Twenty-five years after the war while their parents are off correcting past errors, the children are out and about creating new ones. Harry Potter is still revered as a hero, as the one who defeated the Dark Lord but as the denizens no longer lived in dark times, he’s seen more as the man who revolutionized the Auror Department at the Ministry. Still, his legend lives on, though his life is no longer the focus of the wizarding world. The Ministry for Magic has also cleaned up its corrupted lines and now focuses on promoting the welfare of the people as led by Percy Weasley. Welcome to the year 2023. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry still stands strong and stable as the day it was built and always as magical. Children of the previous generation are the ones that run the school now, pranks have gotten more devious, and competition has only increased. Allies and enemies are formed left and right and while House loyalties are still as strong as ever, the strongest rivalries exist elsewhere. Game scheduled to begin on April 18th! Now accepting applications! Wanted: Albus Severus Potter, James Sirius Potter, Rose Weasley, Hugo Weasley, Delacour-Weasley siblings and many more! We would especially love to see bullies, geeks, extremely dorky, eccentric kids! post comment
