I had this in my head so clearly I even drew a map once.
Alright, keep in mind I have to re-remember everything.
The Sky-Walkers were an elven people, with hair so black it was also blue, and eyes of silver and sapphire. A peaceful people, they spent their time in towers of ivory and silver, intricitely designed with the stars and planets themselves carved into it. They generally stood at about 5'6-5'8 for females, and 5'9-6'2 for males. They tended to wear their hair long and braided, often with a clasp also designed of the stars. For a long, long time they lived alone in the area, the only people for hundreds of miles. The nearest people to them were the Desert people.
They were very advanced in astronomy compared to today's society, with elaborate telescopes and other seeing devices, in fact they had unlocked how to tap into the power of the stars and universe themselves. However, beng as peaceful as they were, they had no clue how to respond when the humans attacked.
The Star Queen was hand-picked by a specific birthmark that would appear on the right or left shoulder blade when she was younger. It was always a female. The Star Queen of the time had two daughters, Llandria and Phaedra. In fact, the Phaedra from the Blade and the Rose rp is actually the original Phaedra... The elven people lived a very, very long time. Even longer than most other elves, as tapping into the universe had tapped into a near immortality. They never got sick, they had very few birthing problems.
However, they were a slender people. The males were slightly more muscular, but not bulky, and a few were taught to guard, but not well.. it was mainly for hunting and if a crazed animal attacked.
Llandria and Phaedra were as different as night and day, as it were. Llandria was outspoken, happy, cheerful, calm, serene. She was essentially the moon herself incarnate. Phaedra on the other hand was nearly silent, speaking only when necessary, and was more drawn to the darker beauty of things.
When the humans attacked, Phaedra and Llandria fled with a small handful of survivors, and made their way north, about a week's travel. It was there that the twins parted ways. Phaedra wanted to go to the coast, settle there and regenerate their people, and check the remains in a few years.
Llandria wanted to go to the Desert people, the Shadow Princes to the north for protection. It was there that she fell in love, and a hundred years later she returned to the ruins, only to find that there was almost nothing left. So she set up a second version, much more rough, to the north and was forgotten about except by the desert people, and the curious ponderings of Phaedra.
Phaedra moved to the coast, to find a town. Shrouded in a cloak, with a mask on her face, she began the Guild of the Black Rose. At the time that RP starts, it is about 800 years in the future.
At any rate, the Guild draws all those of a "questionable" trade, at least half of whom are trained how to be an assassin. The Rose herself is highly secretive, no one knows her identity except herself.
The Desert People are run by Princes.. there's no king. Simply Princes. No daughters were ever born into the family. They shapeshift, and wear black.
