You are stranded....
No memory of how you arrived at your destination and no idea why your here.
The strange Island you find yourself on is an intricate formation of tunnels and caves, spiraling formations of rock and earth, the landscape twisted and shaped by some long forgotten power.

What mysteries lie beneath the island, deep within the labyrinth of tunnels? What power resides beneath the flow of liquid fire at the very lowest depths of the land? By whose hands were these strange structures, once mountains, carved from?
Nothing but riddles and mysteries surround each and every damned soul that finds themselves stranded, each must figure out the mysteries of the island in order to solve the most important questions of all...

Why are we here, what is this Island and how will we find a way back home?...

Welcome all!
Stranded is an FR based RP with limits on how many can join.
There is quite a lot to go through so lets get the foundations done and over with.
Now most of these are guides. I've been RP'ing for a very long time and have laid some thoughts down. I'm not strict so please dont let these ideas feel like restrictions.
Here are the rules and Guides for this RP:

Rules.
You must read this entire post before joining up!
No TL;DR guys, please.
This RP is a Flight Rising based RP only!
This means that characters you choose must be dragons from your lair.
Maximum 2 characters per person
You can RP one dragon and its familiar or two dragons max.
ENTRIES ARE LIMITED
Do not join unless there are available openings. These will be announced.
Please conform with basic RP etiquette
No killing, god modding or poor behavior. You know the drill.
I will be your guide
There are secrets to this island to be revealed. I'll nudge the story line along every now and then with events but please do not take control of major parts of the RP yourselves. Small events and ideas are fine but no *suddenly one of the mountains erupted*... please. ;)
Follow basic FR lore as a guide
We have all come from the main FR lands, this island will have its own secrets and stories but I'll be playing it as close to normal FR lore as possible.
Easy does it
Mostly this RP will be a fun and laid back RP with plenty of room for adventure and personal exploration. I wont be pushing large story lines just nudging it now and then into interesting directions. Expect a leisurely walk of an RP not a marathon.

Requirements of entry.
Please only join this RP if you are confident that you will be able to post regularly (at least once every 1-2 days). I dont want people jumping ahead of others out of impatience, nor would it be good if people lag behind and cause hold ups. If your going to be away for a while please RP your character out of an interactive situation.

A few last pointers/words of advise.
Though you dont have to be an advanced RP'er please be aware that one line posts should be avoided. Try to write descriptively, breath the air your character breaths, see their sights and feel their emotions, the more you can imagine the better.
That said, long posts are great but Id suggest to avoid writing massive page long stories holding many actions and events. Its easier for people to follow a few key actions then several large ones.
I am dyslexic, I will make the odd spelling or grammar error. I request both on my behalf and others; please avoid criticizing peoples work. If its readable and easily understood that's all that matters. That said, please dont be lazy, I do not appreciate chat speak.

And that's about all of the boring stuff!!!
Lets move onto the RP!

The Island!
This strange Island resides far away from any known lands, far out into the seas of the north-east.
The island is quite inhabitable, with fresh water springs, caves, abundant lands full of wildlife... there are even places to find warmth in the belly of the island, deep down where liquid fire and molten rock sit bubbling... you wont want to get too close to those caverns though, air gets very thin down there.
All in all, its quite a nice retreat... if you can look past the strangeness of the place...

Spire Height Falls

These perfectly clear waters run from deep within the mountains, fed by the rain waters and the underground wells. There waters rise from deep thermal springs and flow out in cascades from the western cliffs towards the lush forest bellow.
A beautiful lake resides within the forest, deep and open to many underwater tunnels, it is abundant with life.

The Great Arch

This colossal structure of rock is one of the key areas of the island.
The huge platform of rock is smooth and strait and provides the perfect landing strip. It resides close to the eastern spire of which holds one of the largest caves on the island beside a mysterious set of colossus stairs, carved into the mountain, that dwarf even the biggest of dragons.

Knot Point

A small mountain carved into a perfectly smooth flowing structure of rock. The inside of the mountain is very open and exposed to the elements but has some great alcoves and platforms to rest upon.

The Spiraling Stairway or Corkscrew

The western Mountain is one of the strangest formations. It holds one giant spiraling stairway that is etched into the sides of the mountain and that disappear deep into the heart of the Island. There are hundreds of tunnels and caves leading from this main structure that are great to take refuge within however getting lost in those labyrinths could have you walking in circles for days. The main stairway leads deep into the very belly of the mountain where lava flows and waters boil in giant pools, all within one unimaginable large cavern lit by the light of the liquid fires.

[Pinging @Eliskan just in case I can tempt ya love ;)]

*It was as if, in some twist, some disfigurement of fate, life had been slowly leading up to this point... His life some how seemed fixed, as if each decision he had ever taken to change his fate was simply a kink in a winding path, a small change of direction to make him believe he had control of where he was heading... Nether the less he walked an unseen path before him, a path that eventually turned back on itself, a loop. The scenery might change like that of seasons but the path was always the same...

Time and time again he had found himself alone, torn away from the things he had ever belonged to, known, loved....
Why, how? He could let those question torture him to his grave, the thoughts just like the path before him, an endless circling of questions he could not fathom and emotion he could not grasp, all coiling themselves about him, constricting his mind and heart and choking the life from his spirit... Like hell! As always the scars would both cripple and yet strengthen him like they had time and time again but he would NOT let this pitiful life take his spirit from him... It was all he had left and he did not relinquish such things so easily.

Oblivion let his head lul to the side, his icy white eyes falling to the log that lay beside him on the golden sand. Exhaustion threatened to overwhelm him, darkness crept into the very edges of his vision. He had flown as far as his wings could take him eight times now across the endless expanse of water that imprisoned him... The log each time acted as a small float to keep him above water when he could fly no longer, it had saved him on several occasions and he considered finding it just before the tree line a singular bit of luck since he found himself on the islands beach with no memory of how he got there.

Oblivion rolled wearily onto his side, golden sand plastered to his wet midnight black scales yet fell effortlessly from the deep purple gems embedded into his form.
His eyes now turned toward the center of the island itself, he wondered what lay beyond the tree line and what existed amongst the strange, twisting mountain like spires in its center... His plans of escape by wing were doomed but with the right materials and enough time perhaps he could build himself a floating structure to travel beyond the island in hopes of finding a way home.....

The thoughts began to swim within his mind, the darkness around his vision began to slowly advance and before he could stop his eyes from closing, the exhaustion had taken over, sleep came swift and plunged him deep into that of his namesake.*

And so it begins.....
