May the Darkness be Merciful

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, as well as a few select territories in the Realm of Kaeleer.

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.
