Moon

[close] ☾ We are the Maidens of the Moon, the followers of Lady Artemis, and Pledge ourselves to be a virgin for all eternity, until death.☽ The Hunters of Artemis are maidens that can be human, demigod, or nymph. Each hunter has sworn loyalty to the virgin goddess Artemis, to join her in the Hunt and reject men for the rest of their lives while also becoming immortal as long as they don't break their vows. Oath: I pledge myself to the Goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the Hunt. If a maiden wants to become a Hunter, she must recite the oath. Once Artemis agrees to that oath, it is binding and the Hunter must live by it for the rest of their days. New and special abilities and talents include: The Hunters have a silver aura and are stronger, faster, and more accurate than the average demigod, nymph or mortal. Do not use these skills wrongly, and irresponsibly. We carry magic silver bows, arrows, and two hunting knives, which appear whenever they are needed by us. Again, do not use these skills wrongly and irresponsibly. After you take the Oath sincerely, and Artemis accepts, you are immortal, as long as you do not break the rules.

[close] Two princes, brothers, used to be the best of friends, thick as thieves. But now they are split apart. They are enemies and are at war with one another. The younger brother, the Prince of Darkness, wishes to claim the land of Utopia for himself. His elder brother, the Prince of Light, must fight to protect his home and his subjects. Who will rise victorious from the ashes and blood of battle? Who will fall?

[close] For 200 years, the quiet Urban Forest has been abandoned. No one goes near it, not anymore. Late at night you might be able to hear the pained howls of the wolves, chased down by the hunters. Perhaps it's been quiet for too long. And someone needs to wake it up.
