Kingdom of Asphodel

[Simple]

In recent years the castle known as Asphodel has grown in size, a village constructed around its immediate vicinity. Rejects from all over Esshar flock to the citadel, a bastion and safehaven for those otherwise ostracized by society as a whole. Most notably, however, it is the seat of power of those blessed by Cain.

A new group has come to power, Queen Araceli Falkenrath at the helm of the newly established kingdom. Humble in size, yet it continues to grow and amasses followers by the day, known throughout the lands of Esshar for its rather dangerous denizens.

A society for Cain's chosen, his champions and most loyal followers.

It has been my most ardent desire to see a foothold for my people established upon the shores of Esshar. I have traveled the lands of this foreign territory for the last decade now, masquerading as both a therapist and songstress. I have come to know its people in intimate fashion, and while I've not met all that I would have liked, I can say for certain that they have yet to be truly enlightened.

The primordials, spirits, and divine which you all worship so loyally care not for your existence, nor do they give you gifts befitting your service. It is sad, truly, to see such loyal followers become old, to grow sick and die, or fall in battle.

Cain has freed us from the shackles of humanity, granting us both life everlasting, as well as a degree of power unimaginable. A blessing which can be given to you, should you prove worthy of it. In the coming years we will expand, build a city the likes of which shall span a good chunk of land.

My true name is Araceli Falkenrath, and I have lived for centuries now. I am the former wife of Count Falkenrath, but after his death I set sail for these unknown lands, in hopes of one day establishing a kingdom and family to call my own. Amassing followers through the years, we have allies within most every hierarchy of Esshar, within all of the major cities.

Henceforth Asphodel shall be known as a kingdom in its own right, our sovereignty established by way of the prior Viscounts. Their contributions will not be forgotten, and all of Cain's children have a home behind my walls. The rejected, downtrodden, and ostracized of Esshar also have a home here.

We are not anarchists, nor are we unreasonable. Order shall be established, laws written and adhered to in the coming years. A 'Crimson Guard' will be established as our military branch, but the details have yet to be ironed out. The ravel will be commenced, to serve as both a tournament, as well as my coronation.

I look forward to seeing you there.

-Queen Araceli Falkenrath

❖ At current the Kingdom of Asphodel remains neutral with all other factions, though it expects this to change in the coming years. Until then, however, correspondence has been sent to all of the governments to establish contact, be it for diplomacy or otherwise.

❖ Queen Araceli Falkenrath's authority remains absolute, though other vampires are to be held as nobility, their title being that of Viscount, to serve directly beneath the Queen. The turning and siring of a vampire is something that will require authorization from the Queen. The laws and regulations of the Kingdom of Asphodel will be released at a later time.

❖ Cloaked and hooded figures can be spotted regularly coming to and from the castle, their identities remaining unknown. However, construction has begun around the castle itself, to expand the territory of the kingdom as a whole.

❖ The Apropriyan Ravel will continue as planned in the coming years, though it will double as a coronation for the newly chosen Queen. More details will be released on it later, as well as a time.

❖ All of those who wish to join the kingdom are urged to come to the castle, so long as they do not intend to cause trouble.

Furthermore, we are looking to potentially approve a few new vampires to start out at 150 RPL. They will naturally need to be loyal to the kingdom, and will be Viscounts, assisting in its construction and establishment.

Applications for this can be found here. 

If you wish to join the kingdom on a regular PC you can contact me via Discord or simply approach the castle ICly.
