"The thing is, his lungs need more air than we can get. They have a strange internal shrinking from chemicals he inhaled from a monster attack long ago. We've tried to heal his lungs, but he has powerful magic on him that makes his body stay alive longer but sick. Healing him magically breaks that spell and he'll die in an instant. We have him on a stricter diet to help."

"Uh, the north side next to the edge of the farm. He was helping his cousin and the monster escaped when my uncle tried to fight back. But anyways, how are your farms doing lately?"

"We're not looking for a bloodbath." He leans close to Morgot and Clapper and whispers "Some of us don't even want power, we just want those two to stop fighting. Who knows what distraction they'll cause?"

"Not well....Some have a blight, others produce poisoned food....it has been a struggle but hopefully it will be fixed soon...Well then you have a good day sitting about. I should be going and check on some things"
Clapper senses that Morgot is trust worthy. If he seems to think that these people are worthy of death, they probably are. either way, he doesn't want to start anything oof his own accord, since he doesn't actually know anyone here.
"Both your... Leaders," Morgot says, barely stopping himself from saying 'Gods.' Once you give someone that title, especially someone with a lot of followers, you never know what could happen. "Want only power. I'd be happy to see them both fall, along with all who follow them. If you're not looking for a fight, then I suggest you clear out."

The cultist continues whispering. "Um... Some of us want to fight, and the rest of us are forced to. We need to or else our leaders will be... unhappy." He then pulls out a sword, and all the other cultists follow, starting to hack at each other with their blades. So far no one is injured, but it won't take long at this rate.

Many of them look at Morgot. "What are you going to do?" One of them calls out, and man cultists whisper in reply, "Didn't that man beat the Glass Dao?" "Well, he was weaker then." "But he's not strong enough to beat all of us, right?" "But he has the other one with him to. I don't know what species that is. What about the sword?" "What sword?" "That! That sword, It's intimidating." "Wait, don't they both have swords?" "You. Are. An. Idiot." "You're both babies. I'd love to stab them." "I agree." "I, uh, disagree." They stop fighting completely just to whisper about Morgot and Clapper.

Thrudor walks away and sits down to talk to the dog. "That fellow did not seem like a thief. He was quite pleasant no? It was suggested to me to go to that tower over there and speak to the person that lives there. Do you know anything about that tower?"
"Then perhaps I was mistaken. The tower has a vampire in it from what I've heard, but I don't know much about it. It might be connected to the Scarlet Cross in some way."

Welcome to Glass Dao! In this world, each player will be alone, and can drop in and out whenever. When you post, I respond to you individually, so this is like a 1 player video game. This way, you can spend as much time as you want playing or not playing uninterrupted. You can stay super active for years or pop on once a week a few time. Either way, all players are welcome. Yes, you are in the same world, and you can meet each other. Great for casual or dedicated play, and for anyone who wants a 1 player game. The best part is that you can group up with other players and make it a group game if you really want, just be warned that doing so could slow down gameplay. This is an open world game for level 3 characters. To be recruited, simply describe your character and then begin posting. Now, I'll describe the world you're in. I will reply quickly, within a couple hours on most days.
It's as if there is no sea or sky in this realm. There is no day or night here, only lights out and lights on time. The Dao Lord of this realm has turned to Glass, leaving the endless caverns of Arcalia ungoverned. Beneath us is the caverns, and above us even more. But now the caverns are crumbling, and rumor has it the Dao has awakened, but still trapped in a nearly powerless glass form. The Dao seeks to gain power at whatever cost is necessary. But the man who turned him into glass is still alive, hidden in the depths of the Scarlet Cross Thieves Guild. Arcalia has started to patch the cracks of society only to be brought at the brink of civil war, as both the man that froze the Dao and the Dao himself compete for the throne of the king, who has fled the scene out of fear. Few have the courage to find out the Dao's secrets, secrets that could lead to endless wealth. But who is this Dao really, and who is this man who cursed him? Only peril will tell.
To start, pick a location you may be in. The list below has unique locations, although most things you'll find in a city are here.
Krakens Tongue Bar (tavern)
Krakens Tongue Bar is a tavern built on a boardwalk directly over a massive pit. The pit is only a few hundred feet wide and the bar is in the center, but it's thousands of feet deep. Water begins 60 feet down and reaches into unknown depths, where a massive eel lies. The name Krakens Tongue comes from how the eel has transparent skin, making it look pink because of its blood and flesh beneath. The bar is more popular as a tourist attraction than for getting drinks.
Ivory Halls (library)
The Ivory halls have been around for 200 years. The building is made of fine marble, and because the cavern world has no weather, it has resisted damage perfectly. It has 3 floors, each of them large and full of books. The first are on the typical subjects, the second all magical, and the third forbidden to all. While it is illegal to enter the 3rd floor, nothing ever stops you from going there.
The Blood Circle (battle arena)
The Blood Circle is a brutal arena. Inside the rows of seats is a large circle filled with sand split into 4 sections, where 4 gladiator fights happen at the same time. Weapons are usually replaced with wooden ones so the gladiators don't die and can fight again later. The gladiators are ordinary people coming to train and usually fight a couple times a month, although some make it their career and fight with real weapons.
Eagle-Eye Mines (mines)
The Eagle-Eye Mines are like a labyrinth filled with strange monstrosities. While iron and gold lie at every corner, so do the strange beasts that lie within. These mines are filled with workers, trying to extract the fortunes that are so easily found within.
Ebony Tower (wizard tower)
A tower dedicated to an unknown wizard. No one is sure who lives here, but all know that something powerful lies deep within, rumored to be a vampire named Ichulla the Unfathomed. This vampire is said to be stunningly beautiful, able to learn in any victim to satisfy its eternal thirst for blood. But one woman has claimed to all that this vampire is not as cruel as we're being told.
Castle of Shards (royal palace)
The castle of shard is adorned with fine silver, red tapestries, unstained rugs, but with no king inside it. It was once called the Silver Palace, but was renamed the Castle of Shards to symbolize how the kings flight from protest shattered government. All upper class are free to roam the halls, but there is a strict requirement for none below upper class being allowed.
Specter Fields (farmland)
These farmlands are the only source of food. The plants and animals here are all there are left in the world, since the known world is deep below endless caverns. But death is somewhat broken here; the plants and animals do not wither, and neither do the elderly, and specters are known to haunt the soil. Some say they protect the crops, others say they want revenge. And rumor has it that something buried far beneath is causing this.
Temple of the Dao (temple)
A massive monument filled with pillars, statues and shrine. The whole inner ring is dedicated to the Dao, although the outer rings are for any other Gods one may want to worship. The temple has begun to crumble over time and is being replaced ever since the Dao turned to stone. The monks and clerics living here have turned brutal from the lack of Gods to worship, as humanoid connection slips farther away from the outside.
The Dark Waste (wilderness)
There is no natural source of light, only lanterns and magic lighting in and near the city. This is a wilderness of rock, sand, and clay with no life except the travelers wandering through it, hoping to eventually find the city of Arcalia. The waste is filled with rocky spikes, pits, twisted tunnels, and the few monsters who have survived in these bleak caverns.
so uh, any strength limitations?

Thrudor furrows his brow "An undead lives in the tower and the king does nothing about it? What has this realm become? Will you join me in the tower? I have never met a friendly vampire before."

"So peculiar. Where is the farm that a monster attack occurred? Our farms have been under attack as well."
"Uh, the north side next to the edge of the farm. He was helping his cousin and the monster escaped when my uncle tried to fight back. But anyways, how are your farms doing lately?"

Clapper, sensing what's coming, tightens his grip on his blades, preparing for the worst.
"No. At least I'm not.
Who are you anyways?"
"No. But I'd be willing to kill you all," Morgot says with narrowed eyes.
