Tales of the Delphic Dominion

Lord_Apollo

On the island continent of Ilus, facing the Great Ocean sits the idyllic nation of the Delphic Dominion—a nation of believers in an ancient religion dating back centuries—a center for spiritual and elemental magic, bathed in history and culture.

Recently tragedy has struck the Dominion. Its former Imperator, Castorus of the Imperial House of Julius, was found slain in the Imperial Palace. His young son Apollon is set to ascend to the throne, where he will be fully introduced to the realm of politics, religion, and magic that the Dominion contends with. But he must also address an ancient secret that has plagued the leaders of the Dominion for many years.

The Gods are fading, and fewer and fewer of their Scions are ascending.

Follow the stories of Apollon, the Scions of the Gods, and the Delphic Dominion as it prepares for its next age of leadership.

_[OOC] This will be a closed RP designed to tell the story of Apollon of House Julius, the newly ascended Imperator of the Delphic Dominion. These tales will begin with his ascension to the Imperial Throne and continue on as he struggles to lead his people into the future. These tales will also help me write out canonically the history and current state of the Dominion. _
