Just north of the Caleah, the City of Gardens lies an ancient tower, one made almost entirely out of rubies and a crimson granite. This tower has been around since before Canis Majoris was even founded, being one of the oldest buildings in not just Edas, but in the world itself. Though the tower is an impressive feat of engineering and architecture, it's what hides beneath the tower that's really interesting. The Crimson Labyrinth, a massive, sprawling network of tunnels hiding a variety of secrets. Some of the more well known examples are the Walls of Stories, each of them describing a variety of events in Majoria's past, what's stranger is that some of these detail future events with a frightening amount of detail. Ancient treasures, artwork, and even the tombs of the first rulers of Edas. There's a treasure trove of knowledge, wealth, and history just ripe for the picking below the surface.

Unfortunately, while this host of treasures is ripe for the picking, there are plenty of barriers that have prevented people from taking full advantage of what lies within the Labyrinth. The first, and perhaps, most well known are the shadows, these shadows are highly dangerous and can appear anywhere in the labyrinth at anytime, there is no hiding from the shadows. They can slice right through a person's limb as if it were paper, but it never seems to finish off its victims, simply warning to never return. The shadows aren't the only problem, there are also three Enacs, large sea serpents; though, these ones are much larger than ones typically encountered in the wild, and two Calamar, large squids, also much bigger than ones typically encountered in the wild. With all of these dangers, no one has made it halfway through yet.

Because of these dangers, exploring the Crimson Labyrinth is highly discouraged, though it's not illegal. Few people have ever returned to the surface with all of their limbs, and no one has yet to see the master of these shadows. Whether it's some hideous beast or something else is completely unknown, and what or who it's guarding is unknown as well. Today, an energetic owl shifter has arrived at the Labyrinth to see what's down there, he knows of the dangers, but he doesn't care. The owl has an insatiable curiosity and will stop at nothing to see what hides within these mysterious ruins. Will you join Silas in exploring the Labyrinth together and finally uncover the secrets or will you flee like a coward?

Essentially, this plot will revolve around the exploration of the Crimson Labyrinth, a large network of tunnels underneath Canis Majoris. The tunnels themselves reach out to as far south as Caleah and as far north as Negrisa, near the border between Canis Majoris and Cepheis. This will mostly involved adventure and possibly a bit of mystery and horror, combat will play a role, but none of the combat scenes will be especially extensive, and all combat will be played out as freeform style, though don't make yourself unbeatable. I'm not asking for novels or blocks of text, I just need more than 2-3 lines, at least a paragraph is necessary. Patience with me is necessary, I could respond immediately or sometimes it'll be a few centuries before I respond. I'd prefer this to be a small group RP of 2-4 people, but I'm willing to do 1x1s as well, I won't do anything larger than 5 people, though. Reply below or message me if this interests you.

Please refer to the information below when making (or adjusting) your character.

Here are the playable races in Majoria, asides from humans of course:

• Phoenixes
• Shifters
• The Elves
• The Fairies
• The Rulites - If your character is a Rulite, they must originate from Carinae. Be wary, they won't do well in the Labyrinth due to the lack of saltwater.
• The Bailae - If your character is a Bailae, they must originate from Carinae.
• The Baigrus - If your character is a Baigrus, they must originate from Carinae.
• The Akther - If your character is an Akther, they must originate from Carinae.

Here are the countries within Majoria:

• Canis Majoris
• Cepheis
• Betelgeuse
• Sirius
• Centauri
• Carinae
• Rigel - Be wary, the other characters may not believe right away if your character comes from Rigel.
• Scuti
• Erel
• Krita
• Tirithill
• Vinosea

All countries are based on the United States between late 19th century and early to mid 20th century. Racism, sexism, and xenophobia are common throughout the countries, so avoid this RP if those are triggering topics to you.

Take a look at this to get an idea of what magic in Majoria is like.

Don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions regarding the races or anything else regarding Majoria.

Wow, this is a huge, wildly detailed RP! I'm definitely interested, though I'll have to read through everything again to make sure I get all the info right.
