Welcome to the country of Moirland! This is a medieval fantasy role play with dragons and fairies and elves and magic and anything else you can possibly imagine. The possabilities are endless, as you are welcomed to role play nearly any species you want. We try to keep the global plot generalized so that smaller character plots can function within. Any questions should be directed to the admin. Hope to see you around! - Seraphim
CHILDREN DISSAPEARING
There have been many reports of children dissapearing from families. They are usually children of poorer families, and though human children are dissapearing more frequently, we have started to see missing faerie children, elf children and Dwarf children as well. Some people fear that Avrix is behind this, though her reason for taking the children is still unknown.

Magic is an important part of this game. However, I can't have everyone in the role play running around with amazing magic powers. For the most part, I'm going to make people work for their magic. Of course, if you have a character who is a powerful mage, and you've asked me ahead of time then that is okay.
When someone practices magic, the energy has to come from somwhere. Be it from themselves, or from the earth around them. That is why magic is dangerouse, and must be practiced carefuly. Bad things can result from a strong spell.
Magical Creatures
Magical creatures, such as Unicorns and Dragons, are born with their power. Unicorns don't have very much magic, but they know how to weild it automatically. Dragons have much more powerful magic, and are much more intelligent than unicorns. No one is really able to identify the limit to Dragons magic, and often the Dragons themselves don't really understand how their magic works.
Magic in Humanoid Creatures
Some humanoids are better at magic than others. For instance, Faeries and Elves are better learned about magic than the Human race. Though some humans are quite good at magic, most struggle with it, and have to work very hard to learn even the slightest bit of magic. Some humans just don't have the talent at all. There are different types of magic, some that can be learned and some that you must be born with to be able to do at all.

Magic that can be Learned
•Healing
Though the art of healing is not all magic and spells, a good part of it is. There are many healers who heal with the power of magic, along with herbs and plants to aid them. Healing is an art that can be learned, though it is difficult magic and takes many, many years to master.
•Invisibility
Though the idea of invisibility is simple, you must be a strong mage to be able to hold invisibility for a long period of time. It takes a lot of stregnth and energy, and so is not often used for more than brief time periods.
•Telepathy
Telepathic communication is easy magic for some, but for others is very difficult. You must have very good control of your mind in order to exercise this. Every single creature in the world is capable of Telepathic communication, though for some creatures it would be more primitive than others. The idea of telepathy is to project feelings, words, or images into anothers mind. Depending on how strong you are, you might be able to read peoples thoughts, though lots of people are very good at blocking off their minds so you can not enter. Humans can communicate with animals telepathically - HOWEVER not using words. Animals do not have an area of their brain dedicated to speech, and so they do not understand words. Speaking with an animal would be mainly using emotions or images, if anything at all. That also means that animals CAN NOT talk to each other, using words.
•Levitation
Anyone can levitate, but it takes much skill and concentration. This skill is only aquired by advanced mages. You must be very strong in order to levetate for a long time, and so flying from city to city is not really practical. To start with, you would be able to just lift a couple feet off the ground, and then eventually be able to lift higher and higher, and then you might be able to actually move through the air a short distance.
Magic you must be Born with
•Seeing the Future
Some people are born with the ability to see into the future. Only very very powerful future seers can control their ability. Usually the future will just come in random flashes, and you woudln't be able to tell when the vision will occur. This is nothing like fortune telling.
•Shape Shifting
Only a small amount of humanoids are born with the ability to shape-shift. It is a hard power to gain control over. When you first discover you have it, it would not be under your control at all. You might be human one second, and then a duck the next second, and then a moose the next. Some shape-shifters can only morph into one animal, while others have multiple animals they can transform into. This power takes many long, hard years to master.
