The Bookshelf
The bookshelf is one of the most desired magical locations in the world.It contains thousands of books containing nearly every spell in existence. Many mages have sought to find it and if any have they died before they could tell anyone. Thus the area has remained shrouded in mystery however there are a few facts that are known amongst the mage community. First is that the bookshelf used to belong to a mage named Eclipse, one of the strongest mages in history. He created the place as his home and it was said that he spent his life trying to discover the origin of all magic. Eclipse knew, however, that the people around him were afraid of how powerful he was and would inevitably try and get rid of him. He vowed that they would never gain his knowledge and used his magical skill to create four demons of varying strengths to defend the place while he did his research. Within the next few months Eclipse was sealed away by the council of magic, leaving the bookshelf to be guarded by his demons. No one was ever able to enter the place again, that was until recently. The two dragon slayers led their followers to the location of the bookshelf and made a deal with the demons. They would be allowed to stay in the bookshelf, however the Demons had to be there when the Acolytes completed their goal. The actual bookshelf is a magical floating island that remains hidden from those who aren't seeking it out. This is why most regular people haven't been able to find it.
The Great Library
The great library is one of the largest sources of magical knowledge in the world. It contains thousands of years worth of research and information on nearly every spell in existence. It also contains all of Eclipse’s research into the One magic, which is sought after by many magical historians. Any mage would be lucky to view this library let alone view Eclipse’s research. This however would not be possible as it is kept under protection by a magical blood seal that can only be opened by Eclipse.
The Throne Room
This is the personal throne room of Eclipse. The room itself can only be entered by the Demons and the only person allowed to sit on the throne is Eclipse himself. In fact if anyone besides him sits on the throne their body would be impaled by a spear from one of the armor statues and their soul would be sucked out by a phantasm that awaits atop it. The naked eye however can’t see this until it starts attacking them. The room is about 20 feet long and takes up most of the first floor sharing the space with the Library.
The Resurrection Chamber
The Resurrection chamber is a pit of endless souls, when a demon is killed their body is transported here. Thus begins the resurrection process, first their body is reconstructed from the magical waters. Following this their soul is reconstructed from the various souls that are gathered here. They then must climb their way out of the pit in order to rejoin their brethren. If a normal person was to fall into these waters they themselves would be converted into a demon the same goes for a dead body. Once a demon that person's thought process changes and they become a servant of Eclipse and the Acolytes.
The Dungeon
The dungeon is where the Demons keep people they don’t kill that enter the Bookshelf without permission. The room itself negates the powers of anyone who is not a demon and usually they are kept in the cells or chained from the ceiling. The bones of mages and others who stumbled across the place can be found scattered on the ground. While some people are able to climb out and escape the dungeon they are usually trapped on the Island seeing as how it is flying above the clouds.
The 5 Books Of Eclipse
The name “The 5 Books” is highly misleading as they are not books but rather, they are the demons Eclipse created to watch over The Bookshelf. They are called the 5 Books because when they are defeated they become books that can only be opened by Eclipse in order to summon them. These three demons are also how the island got the name “The Book Shelf”. These demons don’t wield magic they instead wield curse power which has no known weaknesses unlike magic. They are as follows:
OOC
- This thread is the team thread for the Acolytes. Anyone wishing to become an acolyte should PM me about it to get more information about the group.
- Random people shouldn't know of this places existence. The only ones who would know it was around are those who have spent time researching it or people able to detect the sudden increase in magic.
- If you do show up please provide a valid reason as to how you got here or your post will most likely be ignored.
- Standard RPG rules apply
- Destruction is allowed within reason, no nuking the place without my permission.
