~"Love As Thou Wilt"~

These were the words of Bless Elua, and they are his one Precept to his decedents. A commandment which is not as simple as it seems.

Before Elua Terre D'Ange had no name, but Bless Elua and his Angelic Companions came here after years of wandering. They took provinces of this land for their own, and they lay amongst the inhabitants. Elua and Cassile were the exceptions, for Elua took no province and Cassile remained abstinent. In time their progeny became known as the D'Angelines, and they are a surpassingly beautiful people.

Each of Elua's Companions gave the D'Angelines something more than their angelic aesthetics. Azza took the province Azzalle and taught the D'Angelines about the stars and navigation. Anael took the province of L'Agnace and taught the D'Angelines about hunting, farming and animal husbandry. Camael taught the province of Camlach about warcraft. Eisheth took the province of Eisande and taught the d'Angelines about art and healing. Naamah took the province Namarre, and she taught the D'Angelines about sexuality. The Servants of Naamah, or are courtesans highly trained in Naamah's arts, as well as math and histories so their education might be equal to the lords and ladies they serve and so find themselves upon a more equal footing.

After 60 years Elua and His Companions left this world for the Terre D'Ange Which Lies Beyond, and they left behind a young and powerful nation. A nation where rape is not only a crime, it is heresy. A nation built upon the precept to "Love as Thou Wilt,"

But can such a kingdom of heaven exist upon the mortal world.

Our story takes place over 200 years after Elua and his companions left this world, and the young nation will face its greatest trial.

This game is rated Adult as graphic depictions of violence and sex are common.

In the City of Elua, the capital of Terre D'Ange, the land of angels, there is political turmoil brewing. The King of Terre D'Ange, Charles de la Courcel, Charles of House Courcel, has left the succession of the throne uncertain. His only legitimate child, a young woman, is considered by many to been too young and unseasoned to rule. His illegitimate children are either too ambitious or too lazy. His nephew, his distant cousin's son, has all the outward appearances of a great ruler, but is he perhaps less capable than he seems?

All the while the Ducs and Duchesses of the Provinces see the questionable succession of an aging king as an opportunity to advance the position of their house, either by attempting to align their house with one of the heirs apparent or by shifting political power away from the capital into the hands of the Provinces.


The citizens of Terre D'Ange are descendants of the demi-god Blessed Elua and his Angelic Companions, who left the One God for mortal happiness. Central to their society is Blessed Elua's one Precept "Love as Thou Wilt." Where all the citizens of Terre D'Ange possess an other worldly beauty, even the men. Naamah, the angelic goddess of love, is revered by the use of Servants of Naamah, or Sacred Coutesans, who are elite users of Naamah's arts, and are highly revered in their society.

This game looks for skilled writers, interested in writing detailed character, in a beautiful fantasy world, with a strong setting focus on sex, love, and power, and how those things come into conflict.

What is the Kushielverse?

The Kushielverse is based on the Universe created in the novels of Jacqueline Carey. The novels follow the story of a Courtesan/spy in a historical fantasy or alternate history (Terre d'Ange) society that follows a demi-god, Elua, whose precept is "Love as thou wilt". The map of Terre d'Ange, the "Land of the Angels," bears a striking resemblance to that of France.

As with all "something-verse" games, knowledge of the setting will not go a miss, but it is not required to fully enjoy the game. In fact, many readers started off playing games like this one (as I did). And Jacqueline Carey is somewhat unique in that she actively encourages these games and freely answers questions from her fans.

Bump ^_^

If you're looking for a deep and complex world, driven by thought out characters and courtly intrigue, look no further. Still plenty of characters available.

BUMP ^_^

Small but dedicated group of players looking to grow. Submit a message within game if interested.

Plenty of room for more players.

I've been loving the high quality writing from the submissions I've been receiving. It looks like this is going to be a lot of fun.

Lord, Lady, Soldier, Courtesan, whatever your position it could be you who tips the balances of power in Terre D'Ange. Please come and join us.

In reply to POstrer (msg # 9):

If i may, I'd like to do a Soldier, a sell-sword who's traversed the lands since a young age, fighting in many wars and conflicts, and is returning to the land that his parents had called home. His name is Baelic, and even as a young lad, his name is known too every soldier and officer for his near impossible feats as a lone sell-sword. From the young age of 12 he has fought on battlefields, making him almost incapable of interacting with people, as war is all he has ever known. He returns to the land of his parents at the age of 29, looking to try and lay down his swords and make a life away from battle.

Certainly not impossible in game like this. You are welcome to apply. But you'll need to do so within the game. I simply do not check this thread often enough.

"Joi to all on the Longest Night" (merry Christmas)

We have plenty of room for lords, ladies, and adepts. Check us out if you like strong writing, characters, and intrigue.

Bump.

The game is currently female heavy, so looking for more male players.

I'm looking for a Duc de Somerville as I have players for two of his three daughters.

There are still plenty of roles that need filling, of both genders.

PM within the game if interested. The game remains rated Adult.

Bump.

The group is growing, we are female heavy at the moment, so good writers for male characters would be welcome.

More lords, ladies and gentlemen are welcome, and more Servants of Naamah are certainly always welcome.

Reminder: The game is adult.

In particular I'm looking for players to take Rogier de Somerville and Madeline de Montreve among others.

The various possible heirs to the throne need players as well.

Still plenty of character, both adoptable and custom character available

Rogier de Somerville, Elias L'Envers, and Madeline de Montreve in particular need players.
