Welcome, mortal

Premade Theme "Blueprint" punki

A fae lore RPG

We're all mad here

welcome to Midsummer

Welcome to the wilds of Faerie, where deception and intrigue wind through the courts of the fae. Revels overflow with excess, beauty, and betrayal, while the students of the Iris Academy learn to take their place in a world where nothing is ever as it seems. Now, as a blue moon rises, the reigning High Court prepares to make peace with the Undersea, but peace is not something that rises easily from the ashes. Beware wandering into a faerie circle, mortals, and never strike a bargain with the fae; they may not be able to lie, but they are always hiding something.
Midsummer is a character-driven, fae folklore, text-based RPG site, founded 3 September 2023 by admins SeaJem + M. We are a collective of writers from a variety of backgrounds and histories, and we value community, character development, and sharing a love of writing. Feel free to look around and explore—but don’t go too far, or it may be hard to leave.

Site Lore

The Faewild is comprised of four Cardinal Courts, plus the ruling High Court and the Undersea. The Seelie Courts, North and South, are slightly more traditional and straightforward (as much as the fae ever are), which their Unseelie counterparts to the East and West are duplicitous and wild.
Farthest south, beneath the waves, lies the Undersea, home to the pearl-encrusted Sunken City. The Undersea fae are a proud people—perhaps too much so, according to some of their counterparts on dry land. All of the Faewild is ruled by the High Court, whose power is personified in the High King and Queen. By wearing this crown, they take on the spirit of the Faewild; their hearts beat with the heart of the land. Beware, and choose your words carefully: the fae are a capricious and tricky people, as fickle as they are cunning, and their rulers are the most of all.

[attr="class","box1a"]Dorian was pacing. This was not entirely unusual; in fact, it could be considered as predictable as the daily journey of the sun or the parade of the seasons. Normally, he would have been having a lovely time pondering some bit of mortal history, turning it over and over to make some sense of its brutality and yet its terrible depth of care. Most of the time he could not.

However, his current concern was rather unusually immediate for the absentminded instructor; namely, that he had gotten slightly too lost in Analise's eyes the day before and was not entirely sure that they had gone unseen during his generally-vacant tutoring period. It was nothing terribly unchaste, certainly not for the fae, but rumors were rumors...
