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.

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.

Open Age | Open Face | Open Gender | Open Court | Open Backstory | 'Knight' Sworn to Princess Velvet Mei

This character is rather nebulous and completely open to the writer aside from their relationship with Vel. They are Vel's 'protector' and one true friend in the sea of capricious machinations. It's not that she's incompetent, it's just that it never hurts to have someone watching your back. This person might be a knight by trade- an actual valorous soldier and so on- or a magic user, or a former criminal, or whatever. They should be proficient in combat at the very least. They might have met in the Undersea generally, at the Institute of Pearls, aboveground after she began acting as Emissary, or perhaps they haven't met yet!

Whatever the case, they both would take some vows to ensure that there isn't any betrayal between them. This is a mutually beneficial arrangement- a sword and shield at the other's back at any given time. The nature of their relationship- platonic or romantic- is completely open to development! Feel free to DM me with ideas ^^
