The Story:
Once upon a time a beautiful princess called Briar Rose was born to grateful parents in the kingdom of Middle Country. However at her birth, Briar Rose was cursed by the Enchantress- at the age of sixteen she would touch a spindle and fall into a deep sleep for a hundred years. Briar Rose was whisked away to live in a village north of her palace- a palace that lies right in the heart of the Fairytale Continent. Now, however, sixteen years later, she and the rest of the palace lie asleep, with a thicket of roses growing around them.
They might be getting a good night's sleep, but no one else is.
In the West Country, the newly widowed Queen Snow White, assisted by the beardless eighth dwarf Clumsy and General Julian Steelblade IV, plans the invasion of Middle Country at this perfect opportunity. It's a bizarre move- rumour has it that she has conversed with a necromancer who may be able to bring King Gareth back after his brush with Asta, more commonly known across the Continent as The Wolf, But everybody knows necromancy always ends badly...
In the North Country, Briar Rose's best childhood friend was a village girl with the strange name of Beauty. Beauty is now determined to find her friend- only she's trapped in the Beast's castle. The Beast will let her go, but he wants to go with her and to do that, he needs to find The Enchantress...
In the South Country, the Crown Prince Dominic is worried about his younger brother Charming and his new wife Cinderella. The two went off on their honeymoon to Middle Country, and rumour has it they're now stuck in the forest of roses that has sprouted around the place, along with The Woodcutter, Edward.
Rumour also has it there is a Dragon there, who is in fact Prince Sebastian of the North Country under enchantment, used by the Enchantress to guard the castle. The only person of any use to Dominic is Lady Susan, a girl lately made lady-in-waiting to the new princess.
And in the East Country lives the man to whom Briar Rose has been promised since birth. Prince Taris feels it is his duty to go and save her- but does he want to marry her after all? His opinionated little sister Princess Suirin doesn't think she's worth it. And all Taris can think about is the girl who saved him from his shipwreck and sang to him on the shore. Little does he know that girl was the Mer-Princess Elia, who as we speak is trying to find a way to join him on land.
The Rules
-The usual. Good grammar is a must, and I'd prefer reasonably lengthed posts. Keep everything PG-13.
-Don't get too attached to your locations, pretty soon everyone's going to be moving into the Middle Country soon enough.
-Try and interact with everyone, not just one or two other players.
-I'll be playing the Enchantress to try and direct the story a bit, but otherwise I'm just going to let the plot play out.
-If you want your characters to have magical abilities, please run them by me first- I want no one to have too much of an upper-hand.
-Mostly, just have fun with the fairytales. Give your characters midnight curfews and three chances at everything.

You can jump in at any time. If you have an idea for a character, please let me know! While there aren't any of the named royals left to play, there are still tonnes of others- ladies in waiting, knights (I'd love Snow White to have an honour guard of seven!), thousands of opportunities. Be creative!
And let's hope we all live happily ever after...
