The territories of Terreille had been at war for as long as anyone could remember, each ruler trying to increase the size of their territory and gain more power for their people or for themselves. However, while the wars raged between the territories, the land had begun to suffer. It had gotten to the point where the Realm of Terreille was beginning to die and it was that alone that brought all of the Territory Rulers together to discuss the possibility of peace.

The discussions spanned a couple of years, but eventually all of the Rulers agreed to stop fighting and focus on making things better for their Territories. The Blood turned their attention away from the past wars and focused on nurturing and restoring the earth once again, though the tension remained between certain Territories.

It has been about 11,000 years since the tentative peace began and some Territories have fared better than others at restoring the land and bringing prosperity back to their people. The question is though, whether this peace will be able to last much longer. There are power struggles beginning to take place in some Territories and in others, the Rulers are once again beginning to look at the places that are weaker and considering a take over.

Will the peace hold or will the Realm of Light once again start to fight amongst themselves?

May the Darkness be Merciful is a mature RP that is loosely based of the Realm of the Blood from Anne Bishop's Black Jewels Trilogy. At the moment we are focusing solely on the Realm of Terreille and the territories that lie within but as the RP grows, the other Realms will open as well.

This is an Alternate Universe RP so nothing that happened in the books nor the characters from the series actually exists in this world. This is our chance to create a new story in the beautiful world that Anne Bishop created and we hope to keep those tales coming for a long time.

We are a small, but active community, and we are looking forward to getting more new players to add their thoughts, ideas, and abilities to what we already have going on here. We do not believe that you have to have read the books to join either and all of the players are willing to answer any questions that you might have. So come take a look around and we look forward to RPing with you.

The Thomas S. Hallenboch Tenement is packed with oddballs. No one really knows for sure what everyone’s doing behind those doors, but it’s safe to say that it’d probably be a bad idea to barge in. The ventilation system is busted, the wallpaper is peeling and way out of style, and on top of that, there are strange noises during the night. But it’s the cheapest place to live in Madswit, so they say. Not to mention utility fees are taken care of. But darn it, there’s some weirdos around here…What sort of weirdos? Well it’s probably best to find that out for yourself.

Have you ever wondered what the world might be like if certain things had turned out differently?  What if Britain's Empire had never been lost? What if technology, religion, world politics, everything we take for granted had gone a different way?  What if all those things mothers whisper of to their children at night...were real?  What would happen if history had taken a different turn? 

Join the Fractured and find out.  Set in a post-apocalyptic 2080s London, the Fractured takes place in the Clockwork Lullabye universe: so like our own world, but just a bit...different.  Get your fix of steampunk and cyberpunk in equally lethal doses.  Clockwork Lullabye maintains a focus on community and excellent writing, and we're always eager to meet new writers.

 London was once not only a strong city, but a superpower in its own right.   The marvel of the western world, it was the jewel on England's crown and the centre of an Empire that covered huge swaths of the globe. 

Things change. 

Now London is the only city left on the British Isles, and it's been split into sections; each Barony laying down thier own laws and trying to scrape out autonomy agianst a totalitarian government.  There hasn't been an Monarch for decades.  Most of London is hungry, all but those who live in the huge arcology that tries to rule this sprawling city.  The runners and thieves, of course, they do all right.   In New Westminster, engine-bangers work all night on the huge Analytical Engines that run the city.  In Hammersmith and Newham, factories belch out black smoke into the sky, turning out mechanical modifications: new arms and legs, even eyes and ears.  In Islington-Camden, kids hopped up on designer nanite drugs dance their spastic dances to the La La Girls in Trinity Church (now a nightclub), and in what used to be the Docklands, underground rock shows spread the word of a new revolution:  the toppling of CityGov and the restoration of the Monarchy.  It's a crazy, chaotic, sprawling world where not even the fittest always survive.

Long ago, before time itself was ever recorded, thousands of magicks came together, exploding within each other in an unexplainable collision. Webs of magick were created that eventually branched off and separated, becoming the Realms. Kinds of alternate dimensions, there were hundreds of thousands of Realms, all separate, yet connected, and completely unaware of the existence of the others. Many simply collapsed upon themselves, but in a system of natural selection, others survived and flourished, turning into great kingdoms filled with mysteries.

Among the largest and most powerful of all the Realms was Eredar, a land of vast landscapes: rolling hills, rushing waterfalls, snow-capped mountains and lush green forests. For many years, Eredar was filled only with nature, and no living beings... until kingdoms started to develop. Two of the largest and most advanced civilizations in any of the Realms found their home in Eredar: Castle Aurora, and Shadow Vale.

The castle of the Kingdom of Light was large and beautiful, built from sleek white stone. The structure of the castle came from its four towers, North, South, East and West, and not only physical structure, but magickal, for it was in these four towers that Aurora held its true powers. The towers radiated good magick for miles around the castle, and it could even be said that a white glow could be seen surrounding the castle itself. The members of the castle were Knights, and more joined the castle every month, seeking solace and a piece of the Aurora magick. And the Castle was ruled by the four most powerful: the Aurors. Strong willed and strong minded, each of the Aurors represented a tower, and a quarter of the power that supported the castle.

While Castle Aurora represented good, white magick, Shadow Vale was quite the opposite. Equally as powerful as Castle Aurora, Shadow Vale did not embrace the glow of light, but the shadows of Evil. Since its inception, it had always attracted the darkest and most powerful demons across the realms. Shadow Vale was once led by the feared Four Dark Reavers, but they were later subsumed by the Legions of Darkness – established by the more powerful sisterhood of the Shadow Goddesses. Its members were seduced by the promise of limitless power, were taught to wield terrible dark archaic magicks, and were trained to fear nothing, especially not the light. Shadow Vale was a solace not just for the beings and creatures of the night, but also to those who truly chose to embrace their dark side, their true selves. Its members were proud, powerful beings, united by their despite of all that was good. 

As both Kingdoms grew and expanded, the grassy meadows between the two lands became smaller and smaller, and the Two were brought closer. Soon there was but hardly any land separating them - in fact, from the window in highest tower of Castle Aurora, one could just make out the edge of the territory belonging to Shadow Vale. The leaders of the both sides tried to stop any sort of large battles from erupting between the two kingdoms, but it was inevitable that the two sides would clash eventually. And clash they did, beginning an epic war that would last centuries.
 

At the end of that epic war came oblivion. In a cataclysmic clash of magicks, neither side was spared from death; Knights and Legionnaires alike were wiped out.  

But after death, comes rebirth. 

Twenty years on, the kingdoms are being rebuilt; the magicks being restored. The time to regain power is now - the time to chart your new Destiny.
