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!
Chaos. If there was any defining feature of the family, that was it. One moment they were eating, the next they were cheering and raucously celebrating, and in the next second the entire room devolved into what looked like free combat from an outsiders view. Glasses were exploding, plates flying, magic being used to attack and defend as glass, ice, and food flew in every direction. Hiram, like some being of chaos itself, seemed to inspire a wave of it as he leapt on the table and barreled toward Alistair.
"YES!" Alistair bellowed as he locked eyes with Hiram Eldouir and kicked the chair out from behind him and leapt onto the table as well with a barbaric bellow and death charge toward Hiram like some sort of enraged bull. Alistair's collar was off though, and it was time to remind his family of that. As he ran, Alistair gripped his fist, and all the small candles that sat at the table would suddenly have their flames disappear. When he and Hiram would collide, Alistair released his fist and in the next instant a soft boom echoed in the chamber that would leave craters in the heavy wooden table. It wasn't enough to truly hurt anyone, but it was enough to spray food, plates, glass, utensils and ale in every direction.
He and Hiram's 'loving rough play' was going to be everyone else's problem, in this chaotic version of an Eldouir bass drop.

The explosion Alistair created ripped delighted laughter from Hiram's lungs. This. This was what he craved, only this was friendly, and even though he was bringing his fist towards the young man's face with dangerous force, it wouldn't kill him. This was just a taste of the chaos of battle, that place in which Hiram felt the most alive, the most whole. Battle was what he had been bred, born, raised, and broken for. It was the place he was strongest, the domain in which he reigned supreme. He would b taking them to battle, soon and very soon.
Until then? Bloodied noses, bruised faces, and maybe some broken bones. They'd all get their sip of his blood in due time, but for now they'd brawl, tonight they'd bang, and tomorrow they would wreak havoc on their world.
Myla sat with almost an amused, yet mockingly bored face as the fighting broke out around the table. Watching the barbaric ways of the red heads around them, her gift deflecting random objects or food here and there, gaze sliding from one to the next. Ranking them in her head. Until her gaze met Elena Eldouir. It was only when the two held one another’s stare long enough that her blood turned and her smile grew impish. Perhaps a touch inspired by @alistair but wanting a bigger impact.
There would be no warning. There wouldn’t be a movement from Myla that would give away her next move, nor a sound. Not as her power surged out suddenly and like an explosion from around her, she rocked everyone’s world around her who wouldn’t be prepared or couldn’t throw a shield fast enough. The red pulse pushing bodies and food and plates and tables and chairs from the center of the room where they had been to pinned to the walls for a moment. Knives and forks slamming into the walls dangerously close, some possibly even feeling a knick here or there. Nothing too problematic. Everything would be rearranged in the room in the blink of an eye, except for Myla.
Sitting perfectly in her chair, a full glass of wine being brought to her lips as she drank. Her hazel eyes shimmering with mischief and landing on the main Eldouir’s in the room. “Do we leave tomorrow?” She grinned, madly, truly, towards Hiram Eldouir.
