Dark Before the Dawn

Dark Before the Dawn is an ongoing epic forum RP on the There Will Be Brawl forum. The members of the forums play themselves; ordinary humans who have been summoned against their wills to the High Fantasy world of Dragnia, told they are The Chosen Ones and are expected to fulfill a heroic destiny.

The world is divided into two regions: the Northlands, which is split into 8 independent city states, and the mysterious Southlands. An evil dark force, the Nameless Army, under the ruthless Big Bad, the High Commander, is sweeping its way into the Northlands, commencing a blitzkreig and slaughtering its way through the city states. Unable to form a coherent defence on their own, some have turned to an ancient prophecy that fortells that heroes from another world will arrive in their hour of need and drive back the forces of darkness. They ended up with the forumites instead.

The RP focusses on the adventures of the forumers as they travel the land, attempting to unite the city states and drive back the Nameless Army. But with shenanigans, trying to control their news powers, their own dramas and the threat of perma-death, will our heroes overcome their challenges and save the world?

This ain't no game, after all.
