Welcome to Darkover. This simple site is the webpage presence of the Darkover region on Nationstates. Darkover is based on the fantasy novels of Marion Zimmer Bradley. For those familiar with the novels, the starting point for current RP is just prior to the Rediscovery. The RP will (more or less) use established Darkover history up through that time, but no actual book characters or events from any time fifty years or so before Rediscovery onward. All of the characteristics of Darkover—the comyn with their laran gifts, the Towers, the Domains, the outlying Drylands, the vanishing and endangered nonhuman races, the Compact, the cristoforos at the Monastery of Nevarsin, the Order of Renunciates, etc., will adhere to the conventions established in the books. Only laran powers based on the books will be allowed, and Godmodding with laran will result in ejection from Darkover and subjection to the Ultimate Laran of Ignore. If you are already familiar with the world of the Bloody Sun, you may join the Darkover Region by telegramming Hastur of Elhalyn for the password. If you don’t know the books, you’re welcome to join, but please read the Overview thoroughly, and consider checking out a book or two from the library to enhance your RP.
The Forum RPG opened Darkover to players in a Journey to Arilinn Tower with news of a strange premonition;
of visitors arriving from a distant place among the void and the stars. |
