OOC: World Details
Thanks to some unknown magic exploding from inside a now-broken eluvian, Skyhold Castle has been unmoored from the Frostbacks and dragged into a version of the Fade. All of the castle is available for exploration/gameplay. (Please assume it has extensive grounds/fields/and orchards to the back of the castle, plus as many additional rooms as you, the player, require.) The Normandy from ME3 is parked in the “back yard” right before the orchards begin. It is currently broken beyond repair/unable to move, and the shuttles are missing. Otherwise, it is also fair game.
Currently, all characters are stuck in Skyhold. Beyond its walls is a sudden drop into an abyss. The sky is heavy with stormclouds, but otherwise, the weather is clear, there is plenty of air, and there don’t appear to be any demons or spirits lurking around. Yet.
For any characters familiar with the Fade, it is maddeningly similar and yet nothing at all like how the Fade should be. Mages and spirits can still go into the real Fade, but when they wake, they always return to this version of Skyhold. All magic and weapons work as normal; however, all communications are down.
New characters appear out of thin air, landing wherever you wish them to. Please assume that they are tracked down fairly soon after arriving (the details of that are up to you) and assigned a room and a journal. These journals are magically linked together so that characters can read each other’s posts. Any post not marked private or specifically directed to a character should be considered public. Any post marked private can be read by you the player but NOT your characters. Any post marked with another character’s name can be read by you and player and ONLY the character/characters it is directed to.
There is not unlimited food or water. Parts of Skyhold have been terribly damaged. And at night…you can swear you feel eyes watching you. Things get super creepy at night—play that up or down however you wish.
This is the Skyhold of the very end of the game. The throne is the sunburst throne, there are statues of Andraste, and the banners are for the Inquisition and the Chantry. Your character may come from a universe that is similar or very, very different from this one…including AUs from fanfics, other games, or modern versions. There MAY be multiples of a character, and I strongly encourage you to interact with each other. Have fun and run wild!
Varricmod and Kaidanmod will act as the sole “mod” characters. They have some level of control over the Fade. No, they have no idea how that happened. No, they’re not happy about it. No, they won’t fuck around with it just to entertain you. Varric especially is creeped out that he has anything to do with the Fade and would rather not mess with it; however, they are both there if we need a sudden dues ex machina or change in scenery or any other random event for Dragon Age or Mass Effect. If they have to, they will step in to stop people from killing each other, but otherwise, they’ll just be off doing their own thing. Call on them if you need a mod.
The purpose of the game is to create a story together. Combat and other plot will be light on the ground—this is all about characters surviving together. Try to gather resources needed, set up a society, keep people from in-fighting, and survive. At the end of two months (10/31), we will all decide whether the game continues with some kind of big shakeup or is given an ending. This is intended to be a short-term game where we have fun, play around, then wander off before things lose their sparkle.
