The Kingdom of the Emerald Hills

She stood on the scorched bleeding earth. A wicked grin formed on her dripping lips. Her eyes darted back and forth as she read the fear in the air. Spattered blood oozed from her pretty cheek. Bits of flesh and entrail slid of her aching hands.

She had found her way to the waypoint in the Aether. The last world withered away, lifeless. Devoid of any amusement she left it to find another.

Happy thoughts once visited her. It was never explained why or when she went missing. They found her family ripped to shreds. Mother and father, brothers and sisters.

Only the smeared writing on the walls held any clues.

'...salvation found in oblivion...'

----------------------

We will be running a Gothic Alice in Wonderland theme this time around and I invited you all to join us, for this is sure to be one interesting trek into one of the most beloved fables ever conceived.

Everyone knows Alices' side of the story. The Queen and King of Hearts were always up to no good, terrorizing all the lands inhabitants.

What has been left out is why many of the royal actions were deemed extreme.

Alice has entered our world to destroy the lands we call home, until our plane of existence is snuffed out like a candle. Driven by lunacy, she will rend the kingdom apart in an attempt to recruit her Alician Rebellion; using her craft of deceit to ensnare a legion of mindless followers.

Why is she here and what is she after? That's what we will attempt to piece together for the next 6 months, diving into both the written word and live roleplay.

We will be holding RP themed battlegames at all four parks with a possible 5th visit to Tanglewood Park in May. Come out and support your park and kingdom!

Have a favorite character from the tales you want to portray? Want to join the kingdom in the fight to save our lands? Think that Alice has come to liberate us from our fleshly tombs?

Let Gabriel and Kenta know. I have officially opened a Quest Crafters Guild with them in charge. Want to help them design scenarios? Let em know! The Guild will be made available shortly for any and all who want to begin the revival of making quests and battlegames both intriguing and fun for RP and Stick purposes.

Get involved, write some rp, dress the part, ROLEPLAY!

More to come,
Sutra - The King of Hearts

If you have no idea what the 'Alice' myth is:
http://www.alice-in-wonderland.net/

Weirdo.

Anyways, without further ado, here is a general list of characters that will be the main troupe this reign: (Please be aware that all parks are given free reign to present their own versions of this character list. The named persona's will be the main 'actors' for Mid/End-Reign and any kingdom visit they can travel to. If we have an instance where there are two Chesire Cats in one kingdom visit, that'll be great and amusing. They can be played as mirrored versions of the 'monster' to be written up by Gabriel/Kenta. If you would like to be considered for a role please get in touch with Kenta and/or Gabriel and let them know!

Tanglewood Forest: Royal Grounds. The royal chess board/courthouse/croquet field and other things relating to the Court of Hearts is found here.

ES: The House of Mirrors. Step lightly, the jabberwocky is listening.

FK: The Duchess' House. The heart-broken duchess is said to be missing her baby, will you help?

MS:Elysium Fields, where the White Queen roams, home to the Red and White Knights, and favorite resting place of good ol' humpty dumpty.

Each location will host an integral part of the tale. Remember, this is a living breathing RP storyline, so any unperceived game outcome will reflect upon and effect the final outcome.

So come on out and support your neighboring parks and your own. Get involved and play fun!

This can only be as entertaining as you allow it to be.
