Okay, so the idea has been floating around in my mind for a while now. I was gonig to start a story based on it, but never did.... So I thought, why not start an SB using the idea? Anyways, here it is.

A Dúrorë, a Darkheart is someone who has darkness inside of them. They are born with it, live with it and are eventually consumed by it. Mind, body, heart and soul. Once completely consumed, they are immortal, possibly evil and will never give up on destroying the world. They are hell bent on death and destruction.

Though there is a rumour in the land of Mithrildór, a rumour about one who is dark of heart. A rumour that it's the prince, and it's true. Prince Raisun, also known as Rowan, is one who is dark of heart, a Dúrorë. There is also a rumour that there is a cure, and another that there isn't. He has heard of these rumours, that there could be a cure. And so, together with Kohar Marrok and Lore, he sets off in search of it.

On his quest, Rowan comes across a neighbouring kingdom called Avásandor. The kingdom is ruled by twins, Princess Althea and Prince Arian. The three develope a close friendship and eventually Althea falls in love with him, dragging Arian with her, for the twins are so closely linked that what one feels, so does the other. Meanwhile, Lore has developed a crush on Rowan and Kohar has fallen for Lore. Both unaware of the others intentions.

After the encounter with the twin rulers of Avásandor, Rowan travels to the temple of Curuwen. Curuwen is where the magic wielders live, learn and die. While here, he learns that he is a magic wielder and that he must learn to control that side of him before the Dúrorë part consumes him and then he's told that there isn't a cure, which leads to him shutting out the rest of the world, along with his friends.

Once Rowan learns what he needs to learn, he leaves Curuwen and travels the lands in search of a cure. Will he or won't he find one?


And that's pretty much it. So, what do you think? Make the SB or don't make it?

Thanks.

I forgot to mention the bad guys; Salacia, the leader and the brains, Alecto and Bailey, who are are the brawn/bodyguards/warriors, and finally Neela, Salacia's second-in-command.

Let the complications and the tension ensue.

Oo... thinking up a character already. I'm thinking.... criminal, of sorts, more like tracker.

Or perhaps a guard to one of the people?

And however ashamed of it I am, you know I'd make a girl. T.T

But I do like this, however confusing it may appear. Or be.

What's confusing?

And this is fantasy. Think LOTR-type setting and era.

Ah- I can do fantasy. I can do it blasted well. .... I think.

And it's just- he goes from the palace, to another place, where there's a twisted love shape of some sort, then he goes to magic land (pardon my rude bluntness, please) and gets mad, therefore shutting out everything.

It's different. I can deal with different.

Yeah. I'm not saying it'll happen in that exact order, it's just a guideline.

And Rowan was kicked out of the palace and disowned. No one likes a Darkheart. They're often shunned b/c of it.

Cool, then! Now that that's all cleared up.

I'd probably/definitely join. One or the other.

Nice.

So, anyone else think it's a good idea? And should I start the SB? So far only two people think it's a good idea...

Maybe not a month, but a few weeks. I am willing to delay it for you, though.

Would I be able to save a spot or is that unfair as it hasn't actually started yet?

You can save a spot for when it starts. And it's invite only. I'll be PM-ing everyone in it soon enough.
