Dragon's Keep is a semi-lit/literate roleplay held on Discord.
It takes inspiration from fantasy and is influenced by mythology from around the world as well as our own minds.
Our current story takes place in Azielan, an eastern-influenced continent.
Characters in the roleplay are in a guild with the aim of protecting and helping others.
* Please note that this forum is only meant to be supplemental to the Discord server.
Main events and roleplay will still take place on the server. This is only here to help with further character interaction and development for those who may care for such a thing.
It can be quite a trial to have certain interactions on a server without them getting lost in the fray due to the time concerns. This forum was made as a way to work around that! 😊
--/--/2019 ✨ The Azielan update is here! ✨ Like the new design? The forums recieved a big makeover! There is also a new "Roleplay" category featuring both Nysa and Azielan. Heck to the freaking yeah, baby! ▫ Azielan takes place in the present and is open to all generations. ▫ Nysa is currently reserved for events preceding the fifteen year time skip and accessible by first and second generations only!

Sir Darkwod had been conversing with someone rather seriously, a possible hired guard. That is, until his gaze landed on Lance and a faint smile appeared. Sir Darkwod was a well dressed, and assumedly well mannered man. But eyes such as his had witnessed the glory of his own dark work. He was a barrel chested man with a grip that could squeeze your windpipes shut and yet could so craftily and delicately handle money. The most discerning feature of all was his amazingly chiseled chin.
"Ah, and here she comes," Darkwod said. His expression twitched a little as she "walked" to him. He reached out and gently took Lance's hand. "Hm, quite a strong one you are, and elvish," Darkwod pointed out. "Exactly what I wanted~ Come, let's not waste any time then."
The man guided lance up the stairs and into a very luxurious room. A honeymoon suite if you must. Darkwod shut the door behind them, letting Lance get his bearings in the room. The lighting was low, the effect of many lit candles and the ever fading daylight drifting in through the large half sphere window giving a soft golden glow.
Darkwod had dramatically tossed off his jacket and faced Lance. It was more apparent now what this pin was...and it was dauntingly glimmering from the man's belt. "Alright, come to me, sugar~!" He said, approaching lance with a grin and outstretched arms. "I hope you're ready to play it rough~"
MEANWHILE...
Nikoli was skulking around on the roof when it started pouring rain. MAN HIS LUCK >;(. Surprisingly though, there were guards ontop of the roof. What the hell were they doing there?! Nikoli had a bad feeling they held some sort of connection to this Darkwod guy.
Lancelot felt himself die on the inside. This man.... made lance want to gauge out his own eyes. Lance had to survive and play hard to get until Niko saved him. Lance was internally screaming NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! aloud he spoke in a German accent making his voice sound playful. "Oh No no no~" he suavely maneuvered himself away from the man. WHAT ELSE COULD HE DO THINK FAST MY SON RUN FOR YOUR VIRGINITY!!!!!! he heard god speak to him. no there would be no running. Lance was a strong independent woman. He was gonna mug the guy for the pin. "Close Your eyes and you will see meee~" lance said in a painfully fake and obvious feminine tone. "I tell you when to open sir~" Lance had to think fast.... he was frozen in fear but he had to fight or sneak away. he slowly crept himself to the door he'd save fighting for another day...... this was WAY TOO MUCH.

"Young lady, I didn't pay you to play hard to get!" Sir Darkwod said. He relaxed and shut his eyes with a chuckle. "Whatever you say~"
When Lance had tried for the door, he would find it locked. The realization had his focus taken from the man and to the door as panic began to spread. In those moments he had taken his eyes off of him, Darkwod opened his eyes and went straight for Lance, grabbing his wrist and yanking him close. "Trying to run away now?" he said. "As much as I like a girl being abash, I don't like having to chase her." With one fell swoop, Darkwod shoved Lance onto the bed. He pried open in his button up shirt with little to no struggle before climbing right on top. Grinning down at Lance, he threatened, "Don't make me have to tie you up."
Nikoli, by his own judgement, could only assume that they were in the largest room of the inn, which he had found to be on the west side of the building. He couldn't sit around and juggle his chances, he needed to make a move now.
Crawling up from his hiding space, Nikoli crept up behind the nearest guard and wrapped his arm around his neck. The guard choked, trying to claw at Nikoli's arm. Nio almost had him, until the guy found just enough strength to cry out. Sh*t--
"What's going on?!" one of the other guards called, two others approaching.
Nikoli cursed and pulled out a knife, stabbing the guard there.
"YOU THERE! STOP!" one of the guards said as they neared. Suddenly an arrow came flying at Niko, thankfully he had a meat shield. Things were about to get messy...
Whether it was visible to the two in the bedroom, a body fell down passed the window. Shirt was going down unbeknownst to Darkwod.
Lancelot was taken back quite literally when darkwod had pulled him back and found out he was trying to evade him. Lances eyes filled with rage and hatred. "Oh you've got to be kidding me-!" He snapped. He Kicked the man off of him and rolled himself off the bed swiftly. Lancelot ripped part of his dress off and wrapped it around his wrist. "First of all I am a Man!" he hissed. it wasn't really convincing because lances dress slit revealed his Legs....and Lance was just fem as hell. Lance ran Towards Darkwod attempting to tackle him and get him in a choke hold with the peice of his dress he had just torn off. where the hell was Niko-!?

It was hard for Lance to tackle a man of his size, but at the very least he did get that piece of fabric around his neck. Darkwod grunted angrily before violently slamming his back towards the wall, sandwiching lance between him and the wall. After two tries, he tore the fabric from his neck and turned around to face a fallen Lance. "You think I didn't know that?" Darkwod said. "That swagger of yours couldn't fool me. They told me they would send me a violent one, and that's all I needed to hear." He reached down and grabbed Lance by the neck, lifting him up into the air. "So delicate and beautiful...like a newborn baby."
Out fo the nowhere, the window exploded into thousands of shards as a man swung inside. It was Nikoli, at least from what Lance could tell. He was drenched in rain water...and somebody else's blood. Panting heavily, he glared at Darkwod though his strands of hair with the look of a mad dog.
'Course, Darkwod wasn't expecting this at all. Nor was he expecting the insane looking man to come at him, all the while yelling. Nikoli had hurled himself right into Darkwod, slamming him into the wall. Thankfully he had dropped Lance beforehand.
Outside the room, a guard stood station, jumping a little at teh racket within. Damn, this guy was really getting it on.
Back in the room, The two wrestled each other, scoring bruises and hits at each other. Darkwod seemed to be gaining the upper hand as he slammed a fist into Nikoli's abdomen. Gritting his teeth through the pain, Nikoli grabbed one of the taller candle holders and beat it across Darkwod's head. The "sir" collapsed to the floor, head bleeding but still with the strength to attempt to get up.
Niko apprehended him though, and got down on top of him, beating the candle holder even more over the guy's head, growing more tired with each hit. After maybe the tenth hit, he leaned back, beads of sweating mixing in with the winter rain water. Darkwod was still alive as he moaned in pain, his face a blood mess. Rip that beautiful chin. "Oh gods..." he moaned.
Standing up, Nikoli tossed the candle holder aside. He slowly looked back to Lance, his face relaxing. "Sorry I was late," Niko said.
Lancelot was actually surprised that this guy knew he was a guy??? wow lance must be some hot stuff if this guy still wanted him even knowing lance was a man. Lance was violently handled but then Niko Knocked and crashed down on Darkwod. Lance violently hit the floor tumbling. Finally Niko was there. He looked like hell... Lance couldn't help but play the damsel LOL he was in shock at the scene that was playing out. Niko was killing another man for him?.... Lance didnt know why but his eyes filled with Ghibli tears.... Niko had beaten Darkwod and made his way over to lance. Lancelot Looked at Niko and smiled even though the Ghibli tears were fluttering from his eyes. "Im Just glad you came." he whined. Lance belonged in a BL but this was not the rp for that HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Lance took one more look at Niko and then fainted. Too much shock and embarrassment for this elf oh whales lol. At least he could get his clothes back after this.

Nikoli tried to grin, but it was too soon as Lance right after passed out. His expression fell. "Lance...Lance," Nikoli said, trying to get his attention. He tried to place a hand on Lance's shoulder, but it was like trying to touch a heated coal (really only because he was afraid of touching Lance). Nikoli cursed under his breath as he got no response. Well he looked fine, save for the redness in his face and neck.
"Get the door open! There's been an attack!" a gruff voice came from outside the door.
"What?! But Sir Darkwod is..."
"He needs to know!" There was jittering on the doorknob. "Sir, open up, it's imperative! Sir--"
"Damnit," Nikoli hissed. The money and the pin...they needed those to get Lance's clothes back. He quickly nabbed up both and rushed back for Lance. Nikoli stood at the guys side. Sh*t, what was he supposed to do? Pick him up? Nikoli would hesitate to reach down but then stop himself. Gosh did he have to wear that? Lance couldn't help it. The doorknob jittering became loud shoves. Nikoli let out repeated cursings as he scooped Lance up and hopped out the window.
The trip itself was a mess, jumping from roof to roof until finally landing on the street. It was a surprise Lance stayed out cold throughout it all.
An hour later, Lance would awaken on a bed, thankfully not in the inn from before. The room was dark though, save for a lantern lit at his bedside. He'd find that he was still in his scanty outfit, but rest assured boi yur clothes were neatly folded at the foot of the bed.
Across the room, Nikoli sat on a chair by an open window, smoking away to the sound of the night rain. There was a considerable amount of distance between them...probably on purpose. He didn't notice Lance awaken.
alistar, Note: (( it should feel like its going somewhere and then sunshine sticks her face through the window like BETCH IM STILL HERE ))
