Where you've found it depends. The library? At the bottom of an old wooden trunk from an estate sale? Grandma's attic? The seat beside yours on the bus?
It doesn't matter. What does matter is that something about it draws your attention. You pick it up and run a hand over its blue-dyed leather cover, trace the silver thorns embossed along the edges. The spine and cover bear no title, but it hardly matters. You take it home with you because you know it's just the kind of book you want, just what you need. And after all, you can return it later. Right?
When you finally open the book, it falls open on an illustrated page. A detailed ink drawing of a solitary figure standing before a wall of thorns. Who is this person?
A wizard in flowing robes?
A knight in gleaming armor?
A princess in a tattered gown?
Or a wicked person, glorying in the thorns' presence?
Like the book's location, it depends.
As you look closely at the illustration, your sense of balance leaves you. You stagger, look down, and are met with a white void that soon surrounds you. The book snaps shut and disappears in a shower of sparks.
You black out.
When you come around, you're warm and safe, though your surroundings are unfamiliar. The old man on the wooden stool beside your bed seems to know your name, and says that you must have questions.
After all, they all have questions.
Welcome to Es War Einmal
Es War Einmal is a small panfandom game set in an idyllic (and stereotypical) fairy tale kingdom. People transported to the nameless kingdom are given roles and expected to fulfill them and carry out quests to defend the land when called upon to do so. Whether or not they choose to do so is another thing altogether. Further information about Roles, Quests, applications and more, can be found in the entries linked below. Please read the Rules and FAQ pages thoroughly before deciding to app. The game currently has around 30 players and runs on a 1:7 day ratio [one in game day every real life week] .
