Hydaelyn Role-Players

Sidereal is a brand new FC looking for members in this exciting, post Heavensward Eorzea.

Details about the FC plot will be thin at first, with the aim for things to remain as mysterious and as interesting as long as possible. A long, slow burn rather than a race to the finish.

Role-play has not yet begun, as we're looking for a few members to get things going.

[OOC Information regarding company plot]

Long ago an ancient voidsent, brimming with ambition, deceit, and hubris conceived of a scheme to climb the ranks of voidsent to new heights of power. To this end it sought powerful mortal souls to feed upon and grow in strength. Though it was too great to cross the aetherial sea itself, it sent its servants to do its bidding.

The Burning Star Sign

Using a power that is now known to modern mortals as "Astromancy", this voidsent used the sky as its canvas and drew an unholy constellation. Using this constellation the ancient evil binds the fate of mortal souls, so that instead of returning to the life-stream upon death they feed it, growing its power.

How a mortal is afflicted by the Star Sign is not well understood. Proximity to those already afflicted, deliberate selection, or ill fortune could all play a part, or none.

The Affliction

Those afflicted may not realize anything is amiss at first. Perhaps they are more restless, more involved in their work, more likely to take a risk.

More drawn to the idea of power, and more likely to pursue it for its own end.

A strange dream of a burning constellation and an unidentifiable face will come and go. There may be other unknown subtle effects, all of which are worsened the more distressed the victim is.

The affliction however becomes less of a burden relative to how many souls are afflicted. The more affected, the lighter the burden. It's been speculated this is a devious machination, designed to encourage its spread. After all, the more souls absorbed, the better.

Afflicted that come in contact with one another often feel compelled to remain, with the reason why remaining a complete mystery.

A Curse From the East

Unknown in the west, this unfortunate fate is on the move thanks to the destruction of Doma and the resulting deaths of many afflicted at the hands of the Garleans. Though few in number are presently affected, that number is sure to grow.

We're still looking for members, so if you're interested in a long term plot that can introduce a lot of dramatic tension into your RP without being so overbearing that you can't do anything else, look us up~

This FC is now inactive due to lack of interest.
