The peace that formerly reigned in Terra Nova has eroded, now little more than a memory. War ravages the continent. Disputes divide kingdoms; ideals divide families. The quest for power consumes absolutely and indiscriminately. None are immune to its allure.
Who will rise and who will fall? Only time—and ambition—will tell.

Change in how times flows. Was 4 IC seasons, now only 2 IC seasons per 1 OOC year.
5 whole years of Heir Apparent goodness! When I started the site, I knew I was hunkering down for the long haul, but I never could have predicted the numerous twists and turns this roleplay site has seen. Hundreds of plots, characters, and members have come and gone, all leaving marks on the site. I am so very thankful for those who have invested. Because you keep coming back, keep getting on, and keep writing, Heir Apparent has the legacy it does today. Three cheers to us!
It was something that his brother, Crowned Prince Akagi, had asked him to make for him. He had been busy with his own research but it was good to get back to focus on some creating. First and foremost, he had to find the best kind of wood for the job, something beautiful and resilient. Once that was located he started to shave it down personally. No one did any parts of his craft but him.
Item to be created: A wand that when waved causes the target to fall asleep for up to 2 minutes (saga). Item rank: Rare Time to complete: 5 OOC weeks Completion date: 06/01/22 Number of replies: 5 replies spaced approximately 1 week apart. *Details determined by Eloell. If you would like to create a combative or large scale enchantment, DM Eloell.
The wand itself has been modeled with a decorate handle and the whole thing was polished. Sylas had gone through a few designs until he settled on one he liked. Nothing but perfection was how he worked. The selection of the right polish was equally important for both aesthetic and quality. He choose something dark in color until it ended up being nearly black with just a hint of a deep brown tone of the wood beneath it.
Once the wooden instrument was completed he needed to find the right soul stone to use. He went through his little collection but nothing seemed quite right. So instead he went out to the slaves and started to search them, one by one. Most of them he simply tested their color and then put it back. A couple of them he took parts of their souls to keep to use later, ones he knew he needed often or that he didn't have any of at the moment.
Then he found the perfect one. Dark gray. He took some. Then he took more. Then he thought, 'what the hell' and took everything that the slave had, leaving her a shell of a person. He didn't even blink at what he'd done. He just moved on and headed back to his lab. He slept perfectly well that night, thank you very much.
With the correct soul stone in hand, Sylas began to work on embedding it into the wood. With several books open at his desk, he used the enchantments to craft and mold the magic in the wand to accept the soul stone as well as do the task it was meant to do. It was always tricky when creating something new. Mistakes were made. Sometimes it didn't turn out quite right. It could be a dangerous task for those who lacked the skill or practice. Sylas lacked neither.
Finally it was completely, the wand enchanted with magic to cause someone to fall asleep. It wouldn't last long, just a couple of minutes, but it should do the trick and maybe one day Sylas would put in the effort to update it to being something more powerful. It was currently unnecessary however and Sylas hoped it would Akagi with his task, a task he was happy to stay away from himself, he had other tasks he wanted to accomplish.
He delivered it to his brother that very same day.
