Avalon: The City Where Magic Stopped Sleeping
This is not a smut server, this is a roleplay server with a side of smut.
This server is 18+, a queer and kink friendly space with occasionally dark and/or mature themes and literate writing, it's just a place for people who want to tell stories for their silly little characters and maybe get better at writing while they do that.
________________________________________
800 years ago, during the last mage war, so many mages were killed that magic itself retreated from the world as there just weren't enough practitioners anymore. Realms were cut off from one another, other races became recessive genes and phased out of bloodlines out until humans were all you found, except for some rare cases. The world fell into mundane cycles and after a while, most people forgot magic even existed.
Magic wasn't impossible during this time though, but the strongest mages were reduced to making sparks to light candles and similar low level feats... This allowed magic to spread again, albeit very slowly. Mages were allowed to exist in the world at large, but many were shunned or even hunted. Then, around 5 years ago, magic began to return!
The world was suddenly thrown into a period of chaos as dormant genes were reactivated, changing people's races into things more fantastical overnight. Mages were now able to cast real spells, and they found themselves getting stronger by the day. An organization from the time of magic, The Circle, suddenly became more than just some bland, secret society with a country club. As magic returned to the world, the Circle made a deal with the independent city-state of Avalon. The city would become the new home of the Circle, and with it the world's growing magical government. In exchange, the Circle would help fund the city’s infrastructure and growth, while also providing law and order. The hunting of mages outside the City grew worse, but they were welcomed in Avalon now. While the Circle has done little to protect their nonhuman citizens, a good deal of the community is starting to come around on them, welcoming them with open arms. It is still a risk to be something more than human in Avalon, but not nearly the death sentence it is elsewhere. With so many newcomers, Avalon quickly exploded outward into something huge.
Years on, the Circle has developed rudimentary laws around the misuse of magic and the beginnings of law enforcement. Due to the low amount of mages capable of acting as enforcers and the time it takes to train them, the nonmagical police are still heavily relied on, and they’re not doing much of a job to keep up with the evolving nature of crime. In the shadowy places of the city, organized crime has flourished, leading to black markets for illegal magical items, drugs, and services. Many of these are run by the nonhumans, who are accepted by a high number of their fellow citizens, but still oppressed by the system. A high demand for private mercenary groups and private investigators has also risen to fill in the gaps left by the actual government. Avalon is a big city, and there are new arrivals every day...
_____________________________________________
So as you can probably tell, this server has a modern/urban fantasy setting. Avalon is a megacity nearly the size of Texas. Currently there are a handful of already-made factions; The Circle is an elite group of mages that has existed as long as magic has and helps govern the city now, The House of Wolves is a Mafia/Cartel that has only gotten more powerful as magic returned to the world, The Golden Lotus Society is a subgroup of the Circle, even more secretive than the Circle itself, The Hands of Many are a rebel group that fights AGAINST the circle and the oppression they bring, and the Arcane Academy is a school that wants to bring magic to everyone and not just the elite few that the Circle decides to train.
These factions are just the current ones, the goal in this server is that once you get a hang of the world, you can start helping make your own factions and groups. Good guys, bad guys, morally grey guys, straight up EVIL guys, this server is still new and there is a LOT of room for the world to grow.
The only limit on how many characters you have is whatever you feel is reasonable, but this is an OC only server, no fandom characters allowed.
We're still setting things up so if you're interested, just send a DM with a small intro, how long you've been roleplaying for, what kind of tropes you want to explore and what kind of character you usually like making. Bonus points if you send a casual writing sample.
