bakerstreet | high fantasy (au)

𝔬𝔫𝔠𝔢, further back in years than anyone alive could remember, there is a land that even time has forgotten, filled to the brim with magic and mystery both good and ill. This is where you make your home. Who you are in this kingdom - or many kingdoms - is as varied as the blades of grass that spread over this lush terrain. You could be a petulant princess, a delving dwarf, a highway man with more than a few secrets, a devoted knight, a mage of ancient spellcraft, or even an ageless elf. No matter your station, though, one thing is for certain: whatever life you lead, it's about to get a great deal more exciting. There is a war brewing, somehow, somewhere, and the peace of your homelands is at stake. You are the only one who can set things right and go on a quest to save everyone.

Still, what is an adventure without an adventure of the heart? You are not alone, and you'll find that trying times can forge ironclad emotions. Of course, you'll find that the path of love is no easier here than anywhere else, be the person you admire an arranged fiancé you're not too fond of at first, a forbidden object of desire, a traveling companion, an enemy, a lifelong friend, an ally...or another species from you entirely. Yet, in any case, this is no time for romance, is it? Only moments can be stolen, and you must set aside your feelings for the greater good.

In this time, in this place, will you get your happy ending, or will this story prove to be a much darker fantasy?

[ [ a lady in the court, , a performer, or a bard in training if you want to go down the d&d route - either way, she's been hearing voices... ]

[Canonically a magic user and summoner of a giant dragon, has spent the last several years raising ancient Spirits. Could be a knight as well. Info in journal.]

[ looking at that gif he'd make a convincing targaryen bastard, ]

[ most likely a knight, a mercenery/sellsword, or a familiar to a powerful magic user, but i could wing him as a fisherman, a performer or some kind of a prickly prince type. ]

[Technically a god/dragon. Easily AU'd as a king or knight. If we lean closer to his actual canon, it's either pre-game or he's dead and either reincarnated or resurrected.]
