The sheer nature of this wedding itself is the buzz of the seas, as Hawaikilanders were regarded as primitive to the other nations for their tribal nature. Perhaps a ploy of the Lord, or something more scandalous behind the scene. What is certain, though, is that all people of all nations were welcomed though invitation itself were limited in number. Should applications be made, you would most certainly be explaining how you came to be so fortunate to receive such an invitation.

What you are unaware of is that a great chain of events has been set in motion. A number of individuals also attending this very wedding share something core in common - their birth took place during an eclipse. The large number of such people gathered in to one place caught the muse of one, and the first domino is about to be struck in a fantastic tale of events set in a islandic world of vast oceans, full of spunk and energy, amidst the curiosities of the overarching plot and a chance to write one's self down as a Hero in the Legends of The Great Sea.[/spoiler][spoiler=The Great Sea:][spoiler=The Islands:]Atlantis
Islands: 10
Ruler: Arkantos, Atlas of Atlantis

Ruled through monarchic feudalism under the central authority of the "Atlas", the High King of Atlantis, this nation is the greatest of the ocean purely based upon land mass gathered - it holds the largest number of islands under its control. They also hold a fleet of furious might, holding a friendly rivalry with Lemuria's own might. The central metropolis of Atlantis itself is the driving force of the nation, while the enormous farm lands set aside from the metropolis via the three circular moats served to provide more than abundant food to the nation. The 10 Kings of Atlantis each govern an island, the Atlas himself governing Atlantis proper. They greedily guard the secret of the metal of Orichalcum.

Antillia
Islands: 1
Ruler: Enrico, Head Chairman of the 7 Cities of Antillia

The great 7 cities of Antillia are Aira, Antuab, Ansalli, Ansesseli, Ansodi, Ansolli and Con. Each governed by a Lord, Antillia itself became known as the Isle of Silver as given from its silvery sands. It is a smaller mercantile city with many rivers and ports, sitting in convenience for Atlantian, Lemurian and Hufaidh's trading vessels to collectively gather. It, along with Eëa, does not have an army - they are the sole two sanctioned nations from war. In its stead, Antillian people flourish in culture, philosophy, and the crafts of writing, music, and art itself, along with being the centre of religious belief, home to many temples of the faiths.

Lemuria 
Islands: 8
Ruler: Lord Jasper of House Penina

Second only to Atlantis, Lemuria's aristocracy and mercantile prowess holds it the wealthiest of the islands with a powerful fleet, often flaunted against the Atlantian fleet. Their nation is governed through the Noble Houses, their wealth controlling the sway of the public. The current head of the nation is held by House Penina, under Lord Jasper. Very diplomatic, even should they disdain another nation, Lemuria is yet young. However, their noble genes promise to bring champions yet. They hold great fortune on the sea through zealous worship of Oceania.

Hawaiki
Islands: 16
Ruler: Various

Hawaiki has no mainland, but is rather a large series of archipelago. It is the chieftains of these tropical isles who gather and meet for the sake of their islands, should conflict ever come to pass. They bear little noteworthiness other than their people, but their people are strong workers from survivalist backgrounds. The slave trade of Hawaikilanders is notorious.

Hōrai
Islands: 6
Ruler: Various

This warring nation of many great warlords seeking shogunate, Hōrai is a series of large mountainous islands, testing the mettle of even the greatest warriors with volcanic summers and harsh winters. It is often said and shown that should Hōrai unify for a cause, it's military prowess is second to none - it is the inner conflict of the nation itself that prohibits Hōrai from claiming potential military dominance. The people of Hōrai are culturally raised with two core principles at heart - honour, and discipline.

Hufaidh
Islands: 3
Ruler: Sultan Haidar

Hufaidh is a sultanate, wealthy from the bountiful jewels and luxuries of their lands as well as their lax laws on many things among which notably include narcotics and sexuality. A very cosmopolitan desert, Hufaidh seeks solely for its people and allies to prosper in happiness. Exotic frangrances, drinks and dancers encourage one to loosen up and enjoy the thrill of the hot city. Trade is quite good, based on exotics, and the deserts' ruins brings tourists and glory hunters alike.[/spoiler][spoiler=The Transmundane:]The World Creation Mythos:
Helios and Selene both were destined to be together. As Selene graced the night sky with her beauty, Helios watched on from the horizon in heated desire, and Helios' light shined bright into the darkness of the void for Selene's admiration. They came together during an Eclipse and, in due course, soon conceived a child.

He was named Terra, and his father and mother loved their child endearingly so. So much so, that they promised that he would be embraced by his parents' loving hold. This was how day and night came to be upon the planet, Terra.

Soon after though would come yet another Eclipse, Helios and Selene having conceived yet another child. The younger sibling, her name was Oceana. Though, she was much more fluid and mobile, unlike her stronger and sturdier older brother. Helios asked Gaia to bear his sister upon his back, which Gaia reluctantly agreed to. Little did he know how much space Oceana took from his brother. The Ocean coated Gaia, with small islands being all that would remain on the surface.

Enraged, Gaia often quakes realizing that while Helios and Selene's plan for life came to be through Earth and Fire yielding Water and Air, he was smothered, holding the weight of Oceana forever more. It was in this rage Helios and Serene realized Terra's strife, and in turn promised to their children that their Eclipsing would no longer bear such a bold impact upon the world. Each eclipse from this point onwards birth the Godkin, mortals given the chance to acheive Godhood over an aspect of the world.

The Most Prominent Faiths Include:
Helios Worship: Praising Helios for the gift of sunlight - its influence upon agriculture, daylight, the passage of time, the forge, and fire. His heat also invokes the notion of work, effort, achievements, and he is often regarded as the God of Peasants.
Selene Worship: Praising Selene for the gift of moonlight - its enlightenment during the dark night, knowledge, the vastness of space, and wind. She is also associated with grace and elegance from her mystical nature, and she is often regarded as the Goddess of Nobles.
Terra Worship: Praising Terra for the gift of the earth - the very foundation of life itself, the ground to stand upon. From his back reaps the profit of mankind, from crops to precious stones, and thus he is seen to be as the God of Merchants.
Oceana Worship: Praising Oceana for the gift of the ocean - the vast seas bringing the bounty of fish, water, and the blessing of the tides. Her fickle and unpredictable natures meets human emotion, bringing at times scorn, and at others joy, she holds the title of Goddess of the Clergy.

Excluding these primary deities are the Godkin. Mortals born during an Eclipse are blessed by Helios and Selene themselves, and are given divine powers. Commonly regarded among the folk simply as "Heroes", the Godkin are initially mortal though are chanced the ability to transcend into Godhood.

The core difference between Magic and Divine power is that Magic is accessible by all who seek to pursue it, a given miracle of Selene, and is tapped into from the atmosphere using studied wording to cast a spell, whereas Divine power is power sourced from within the Godkin, tapped into intrinsically through their own ability. Selene's magic is strict and uniform, while a God's divinity cares not for such norms.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler][spoiler=The Application Form:]This is a frame-work of your app. Use this as a skeleton of what you will use to create your character.

[/spoiler][/spoiler][spoiler=The Character Roster:]Currently unused, just an interest check at the moment.[/spoiler]

Let's see how this goes. Questions, fire away. Co-hosts are welcome to apply.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

You know I'm interested Kyng!

Also, co-host? :)

[Cosmo.]

I would like some more info (like why are the equipment stuff needed, is there like a war or stuff like that?( maybe it's written , but i'm tired so maybe i didn't catch it)), but i'm noting interest

[Durandamon]

Noting interest. I assume the Race in the App refers to the origin island or something?

[Tesability Black]

I don't see that annoying 'you need a certain number of points to join' BS, which means I can actually show interest in one of these for once.

[Kyng]

Co-host will be accepted upon completion of an application, one more slot will be available if more people apply.

Equipment is applicable for any material good your character has equipped, including but not limited to: clothes, weapons, armour, bags/satchels/etc. Your character might be a guard, mercenary, whatever need apply.

Race has been removed in favour for a biography for the sake of better explaining an origin for characters.
