AnesidoraOnline Wikia

Greetings, Traveler
Welcome to Anesidora, a play-by-post roleplaying experience set in a high fantasy, medieval setting, where steam-punk meets cyberpunk and fantasy meets science. Unlike other Roleplays with similar settings, Anesidora is a complete and dynamic sandbox. Players have the power to change the world in meaningful ways.

So what can you do in Anesidora? The better question is: what CAN’T you do on Anesidora? With our incredibly flexible roleplaying system, you can become anyone, a blacksmith, a landowner, a merchant, a war leader, a nurse, a scoundrel, etc. Each player has the right to be anything they choose and any race they choose - so long as they do not claim to steal others creative ideas and there is some proper physiology that backs up their character. Yes each player has the freedom to purchase homes, start wars, command an guild, lead a kingdom, change the world - for the only limit you set is the one you set upon yourself.

Anesidora  has no central story or central plot. It is a persistent global setting capable of supporting (nearly) any type of idea by the players that join the realm.

The Desiire Dynasty is the Dynasty that is in control of the centerfold realm and base their operations within the gatekeeper realm known as Anesidora; Anesidora literally means "She who gives gifts from above", connecting all other realms together by gateways, bridges, ripples, dimensions, portals, and veils. Those who watch over such a crucial keypoint of the Roleplay Universe are known as Desiires'. They are of a Chaotic Neutrality Alignment. Playing both the Round and Dynamic Characters of the story. Their overall main duty is to protect not only the Realm of Anesidora, and those who reside/inhabit it, but all of that is connected to it as well. Anesidora can be looked at as if it were grand central station connecting worlds, continents and territories, (which are made by players) each major land guarded by a boarder leader managing the pathway that connects another area to it. (Usually the player who made it will do this however if they wish a Desiire can be the border guard), being able to create artifacts, bestiary npcs, and quests, and other activities that revolve around both Anesidora & their world, continent, and territories. Members are encouraged to create and run with their own plots as much as they're encouraged to take part in others by collaborating their story with others.

In simple it's abundance of storylines and major and minor events (both mods and player created). This realm is driven by the players and their characters. What you decide to write, the actions you decide to take, can have as much or as little impact on the surrounding world as you choose to put effort in.

The lore of Anesidora says that the keeper of its true power was constructed and made out of all the gods consequences but molded in a hollow shell made out of the earth as punishment for the crimes of all other entities each of the gods bestowed upon the keeper a unique and seducing gifts which was concealed within a box that held all the evils and plagues within existence and at the bottom of the box was the keepers heart imprisoned there - for the heart was the antidote to all.

       Anesidora  has no central story or central plot. It is a persistent global setting capable of supporting (nearly) any type of idea by the players that join the realm. 

The Desiire Dynasty is the centerfold and base of operations within a realm known as Anesidora; which literally means "She who gives gifts from above", connecting all other realms together by gateways, bridges, ripples, dimensions, portals, and veils. Those who watch over such a crucial keypoint of the Roleplay Universe are known as Desiires'. They are of a Chaotic Neutrality Alignment. Playing both the Round and Dynamic Characters of the story. Their overall main duty is to protect not only the Realm of Anesidora, and those who reside/inhabit it, but all of that is connected to it as well. Anesidora can be looked at as if it were grand central station connecting worlds, continents and territories, (which are made by players) each major land guarded by a boarder leader managing the pathway that connects another area to it. (Usually the player who made it will do this however if they wish a Desiire can be the border guard), being able to create artifacts, bestiary npcs, and quests, and other activities that revolve around both Anesidora & their world, continent, and territories.

Unknown. Anesidora is said to have existed in secret since the time split, demise, fall, and recreation of Ayenee. Mythsthril, Eden, Vampire Masscarade, and Rhydin. However it remained hidden until recently due to all the gates, veils, bridges etc. being opened at the same time which mysteriously exposed its' existence. Although there are dangers which come to such a mysterious, hidden, sacred, and magical realm; they are fought off by countless boarder guardians who risk every second of their lives for this sacred area, By a means of seals, barriers,  purification and divinity rituals, blood and rune magics etc. even the border guardians themselves have to be purified after their shifts by any means necessary and sometimes this means by giving up their lives.

<p style="text-align:center;">Omni-Lingual. Anesidora realm magics make is so that anyone who steps foot within the realm no matter what their native language is; everyone is able to understand one another.

<p style="text-align:center;">|I M M I G R A T I O N  O F  A N E S I D O R A | <p style="text-align:center;">The Crossroads. Anesidora is, like Grand Central Station. It is the crossroads for allowing planes-walkers, and non-planes walkers etc. to travel through to other realms, worlds, nations, dimensions  continents and territories by a means of portals, rifts, ripples, veils, bridges, magics, and technologies. These areas' are located all over Anesidora; some are accessible while others are locked for whatever the case. Whenever a world is created, or brought into existence there is a hallway or bridge etc. that is built which connects them to the realm of Anesidora. And the pathway is locked until opened by the border guards on the other side. Once it opens up for the first time to Anesidora; it must be closed by both border guards on both sides to be sealed once again.
