Celebrate the legacy: 2 years of the Classic-Castle Roleplay
Posted: Tue Jan 31, 2006 5:54 pm
How time flies. It was two years ago today Nikos Dametreos, the founder of the Classic-Castle Roleplay, posted the first addition to the Classic Castle Roleplay. It was about Reno, a lone adventurer, in a pub. He would go on to meet those who would eventually become the Misfits: Barbod, Bjarn, Drakko, Willem, Graygon and Aros.
Now, Reno is retired from adventuring. He's married to Shainya, who is pregnant. Barbod has his kingdom back. Bjarn is the leader of the Forestmen. Drakko is the Prime Minister of the Black Falcons. Willem continues to rule the Wolfpack, with Graygon at his side. And Aros carries on the spirit of the Misfits, off in the unknown, adventuring with his half-brother Luxus.
There have been many tales since the Misfits. Many adventures. New locations born. Characters born and died. New mysteries, new horrors, new comedies, new romances.
In the two years of the Classic Castle Roleplay, I have witnessed the birth of a universe: Dametreos. Factions have risen. Armies have fallen. Characters have left their mark upon a landscape molded and created by the minds of many. Dametreos is first and foremost a child of all of us.
Through these past two years, 53 members have come and gone. 13 epics have been written and archived, with many more already written. Countless passages have been written. I think I can safely say several novels worth of text has been poured into the Classic Castle Roleplay, and none of it put to waste.
So here's to Reno. To Barbod. To Bjarn, Drakko, Willem, Graygon, Aros, Shainya, Lord Void, Sir Dractor, The Old Man, Radjar Kath, Fraun Jerlock, The Lone Falcon, Bernard and Elwen, Gib, Thenais, Caimlin, The Soceror-King, Elbadar, Drock, Aiden, Kae-Os, Vanderdious, Voolmark, Rosa, Viktor Okzskcarouldghf, Captain Broadside, Targon, Elsa Byrd, Ajaxx Dragonsbane, Vaekadaer, Dale, Thomas Valt, Jayko Falconensis, Jack Craft, Jaythus Van Hawkonus, Santis Rufusclaw, Solesstorn, Valric, Norbrik Ogbriksson, Kukishinden Hidemitsu, Mircea, Cynan, Kor, Burtrand Storm-Rider, The Wanderer, Randolph, Sheath, Aethen, and Hans, Adrian and Cate, and to all the other characters, large and smalled, famous and infamous, who call Dametreos their home.
To the characters of the Classic-Castle Roleplay. And to the writers of the Classic-Castle Roleplay. To two years.
