<b>Empyrean: ASHES</b> is a hybridized play-by-post and tabletop RPG set in the <i>Empyrean</i> series universe 100 years before the events of <i>Fourth Wing</i>. This RPG uses both Jcink and Discord to create an immersive and fun experience as players write their way through the challenges of life at Basgiath War College and the turbulence of a nation in the midst of a centuries-long war. Take a look in the Codex for information on the world, an explanation of the systems involved, and guides for registration and play.

? The Premise

Picture drawing your morning Tarot cards instead of saying prayers, then attending an Assembly Room ball where the charming gentleman beside you might be vampiric and the lady playing piano could be weaving enchantments into her melody.

Bath, England's glittering new capital - London has fallen to mysterious plague, society has rebuilt around thermal springs that power both steam engines and supernatural secrets, and respectability matters more than your nature.

? What Makes Us Unique
• Integrated Supernatural Society - Vampires serve as nobles, werewolves work in factories, practitioners enhance everything from medicine to governance

• The London Mystery - Three years ago, the capital fell to something the government calls "plague" but witnesses describe as far stranger...

We love new members and fresh ideas! Currently we have three RPs running: A Supernatural Panfandom, a Marvel MCU AU, and an Original Modern Mage RP with plenty of world building room in the sandbox. Come check us out, hop in the discord to say Hi, see if your muse can find a home.
