Greetings, and welcome to Faileas: Shadows and Reflections. This roleplay centers around the campus of Esras University, and the story of the people both living near it and attending it. Many centuries ago, before humans were known to the land of Ireland, mystical creatures walked upon it. There were the Danann (elves), fairies, selkies, Fomorians (giants), and many others. Of these, many were gifted with magic; the greatest among them being the elves. In harmony with the very earth of Ireland, they ruled majestically over all other species. That is, until the humans came. The elves were forced to take refuge underground, hiding for centuries in a magically protected world beneath the earth’s surface. All this took place so long ago, that the real history is only a legend to humans now. But with time the elves barriers dwindled. In the past few hundred years they’ve started coming to the surface again, to observe humans and see what has become of society since the great retreat.
However, civil war is now churning the waters of the elven people's horizons. Factions of the older Danann are splintering, falling on either side of the pro/anti human line. And a greater conflict still, unspoken for the timebeing, is hovering over both these sides, and the slowly impending call to warfare is nearly being called.
