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!
Drystan swept in as quiet as when he'd left, a breath of mist ghosting across the ground. There and then not as he sped between the blades of grass, between tree and rock, with the stars of the night sky streaking through the fisheye perspective he had when he was all mist and no body. He slipped in between the cracks, up the stairs.
Mist condensed into flesh and bone, blood and muscle, the closer he got to Hiram's quarters. It was a handy trick to form a hand at the end of a wisp to grab a pair of pants so as not to be completely naked. By the time he reached his cousin's room, he was mostly solid except for his feet. They were still swirling mist instead. Which was his usual now more than it had ever been in Lorendale.

Drystan only needed to knock once before the door opened beneath his hand, an Eldouir woman dressed only in a blanket barely covering her intimate parts taking a moment to smile at Drystan before scuttling away. Hiram lay in his bed, the corner of a thin white sheet the only thing keeping him from showing all of his chiseled self to his cousin. His eyes were closed and a satisfied smile rest on his lips. Clearly he was just resurrecting from the second death.
“About damn time.” He murmured. It was as much of an invitation as Drystan would receive.
Drystan didn't roll his eyes, but some of the mist around the hem of his pants certainly coiled. Though that could have been chalked up to that fact that it was mist instead of flesh and blood and bone and muscle. Either way, he ignored the woman leaving the chamber and walked in, closing the door behind him.
"Not the worst welcome, not even top ten." It was slightly more teasing than normal as he stopped near the foot of the bed.. He missed his family, in his own way, and maybe he was feeling slightly fond. Or at least, not as deadpan as normal.
Drystan wasn't one to say 'I told you so', not even in the most polite way that he could phrase it. But he certainly was thinking it in the back of his mind at the moment.
"Nevermere has been preparing for war, had been plenty long before they even sent that witch to cross borders." He'd picked up plenty of interesting little tidbits while he'd been lurking in Nevermere.

Hiram blinked once, then twice. Was this supposed to be news? Nevermere was out to gain more territories. They had both Cambria and Coheed now. There was nothing surprising about what Drystan had to say. Hiram wished he had something hard to throw at his cousin’s head in that moment.
