UPDATE [10/05/08] Future Wealdendun Novels
I am certain that if not all of you, at least ninety percent of you, know that I have been working on Wealdendun-related stories since 2003 - stories that have given our role-playing forum life and history. I have been working on one particular novel now since 2005 but cannot write it to my satisfaction and must take a step back from it. Role-playing on Wealdendun takes much if not most of my creativity,... more

Welcome! - Wealdendun's Plot
Wealdendun

With 1700 years of background history, seven continents, and over 20 playable races, Wealdendun is a complete fantasy world RPG experience. Unlike other worlds, where the excitement was in the past, even 'today' Wealdendun battles evil and fights for the future. With magic, swords, and shields the world of Wealdendun comes alive with elves, dragons, mortals, faeries, wolven changelings and more.
Unlike other worlds, dragons do not just breathe fire - some control decay, ice, or healing among others. And unlike other stories, faeries are not small but are a cross between elf and dragon.
One of the last remaining Ieldran, the twelve elves granted powers no others have, Natulcien works to save Wealdendun from the forces of Genipan, another Ieldran once thought dead. Those of the light and those of the dark continually battle as this story continues through the site's members and their interactions.

Wealdendun has become more of a burden than a joy of late. And actually by "of late" I mean over the last 365 days or longer. Many of you have been around when I have had to send out my monthly "please return to us" emails, urging members to rejoin the current plots. I went so far as to make a monthly newsletter, summarizing events, foreshadowing new ones, asking for help, and adding odd tid-bits - all to keep everyone interested. I created a new area that did not require any time-line events (the Fallen Warriors Tournament) in hopes to grab new and old members into fun RPs that did not require the length of posts or the cohesive not-in-many-places-at-once forum rule. I created Member of the Month awards, hoping to motivate others to be the best forum member possible. In all attempts my effforts have failed.

It is so very frustrating to have to pull at hair and teeth to keep this site alive. It becomes, quite literally, a burden and zaps all of my creative energy. When I only have so much time, being a college student or a full-time employee, and with most of my time devoted to Admin duties, it leaves very little for me to actually write. I have Moderators to help me, but they have lives as well - I understand this fully and do not blame you, who I love. But as a collective, we must be honest with each other - when we aren't around the site gathers dust.

In the beginning, Zal/Zhoan and I quite literally ran everything. To keep members interested, we introduced minor characters hoping to spur creativity, keep people interested, motivate them to continue to return. Plus, with Wealdendun as complex as it is, when a new Bard joins, Natulcien can't always be there to RP - when there are no bards, that poor new member needs a place to RP. But our ideas failed - in the sense that the new members weren't able to go off on their own as we had planned. In fact, they depended on our posts, using our creativity as the corner stone for the RPs. Then what happened? It would have been nice to say that the RPs continued beautifully, but more often than not they fizzled out and died without conclusion. I am speaking of the earlier days, when Zal/Zhoan was a super active member. We, in the end, quite literally RPed with ourselves. More to be revealed in a moment.

Lately, I tried to join a few RPs with my alternate characters, but in a manner to spark interest rather than control. But again, I wound up leading the RP - with all RPs depending on me, can you image the amount of effort, time, and stress this involves? I can, without a doubt, say that in the past 9 months no more than three threads did not depend on me. I am sorry I let you down. But I tried to fizzle some out - but people need other people to RP with! And it is sad to see a new faery all alone, or a new dragon with no one to chase.

In the beginning was Natulcien. Shortly after I realized I needed to add another character that has some influence in the world. So came Morgensweg - Morgensweg is me. I had only planned on having those two characters, creating a sub one here and there for fun. But supply and demand - we ran out of members to RP with the new ones and I jumped in (the ever-helpful writer and admin). Zal/Zhoan did as well. Some of my characters evolved into more-complex and stepped into higher roles than perhaps I should have let them. But I was urged by fellow Rpers in many instances, and I could not back away from the ideas that flowed.

I will now list nearly every character that is controlled by me. My apologies if I ever deceived you, and specifically for letting down the Tir Rathon thread of Revolts and Revolutions. Some of these characters were odd for me to play, but it helped me write from different perspectives - please understand I never meant any ill.

Natulcien IS: Morgensweg Formihtig
Natulcien IS: Deirdré Niht
Natulcien IS: Maléfactora
Natulcien IS: Liegesa
Natulcien IS: Nihtleoð
Natulcien IS: Adrielle
Natulcien IS: Gwendolyn Rathon
Natulcien IS: Mulrennan Polgarie
Natulcien IS: Talias Voyle
Natulcien IS: Willind Tulgate
Natulcien took control of: Terevas
Natulcien IS: Ministra Kah'kel Dregan
Natulcien IS: Waverly Foremihtig
Natulcien IS: Dark Army
Natulcien IS: Sina Garland

And Natulcien is retiring from Wealdendun. There comes a time when things must be put to rest, especially if they cause more pain than joy. Know this - Wealdendun will never die. As I shut down the site, I will open a creative path to FINALLY finish all the books I have been working on. You must keep watch on the shelves of the bookstores, for one day a Wealdendun novel will be there, maybe even three or four.

I thank you for participating, especially the long-term members. I have so many great memories of the awesome time I have spent here. I love the people and the stories - and thank you for letting me spin them with you and share all of the different creative ideas I had swirling around.

It makes me very, very sad to have it come to this. But I can't do it any more. Zal/Zhoan realized this a whole year before me. And life moves on. I have so many things I want to do with these characters for a REAL REAL book. The motivation for RPing is no longer with me - at least for now. And as I look for more employment and events of the near future, I need less stress and more time to do the things that truly bring me joy. And I must say goodbye to the place that has been my home since 2003. I will stay in touch with all of my Wealdendun friends, certainly, and keep you posted on progress on the novels, etc.

Forðgewel, min freondes, ediri eow som nnMeotod olan.
Faretheewell, my friends, I bless you in Meotod's name.

Nat, I am so sorry that Wealdendun has become a source of stress and anxiety. I had no idea how many characters you played! And especially Nihtleoð and Gwendolyn! They both won different site awards and I would have never guessed that you were behind them.

I am deeply saddened by this news, and I can only repeat how sorry I am that this caused you so much stress. I understand why you didn't want to start over now. I hope you keep this open so that we can occasionally come by and just say hello. Feel free to say hi to me on yahoo anytime guys!

Natulcien,

I do believe either you need to email/pm this to everyone, or as a closure for the site a final letter that briefly recaps as well as talks about a couple of other things.

For myself to say, I won't lie, it's been fun. It's been and still is one of the best outlets I was allowed to be apart, as well as finally getting to story write with whom I think is one of my personal favorite writers. Naturally we will still be writing until we are satisfied.

One thing I hope to create is a Wealdendun website with information and story ideas to serve for Natulcien and I to exchange and create, as well as keep up to date the news of Wealdendun. Down the road, when the Canon is complete, other Wealdendun websites will be created by our fans as well as our friends that we've known since the site had started.

In general, as fun as a fantasy world is, it shouldn't take the place of real life, and you will find people like us walking around you all, so don't feel like you are the only ones into this, but know there is a time to enjoy what a fantasy world has to offer, so long as you understand you live in reality.

And for you writers out there, as it is a personal dream to be able to write as well, keep writing! Create your own worlds! Etc! And remember Natulcien and I when you become rich and famous!

With memories defeated
His new life beginning,
Ever mending, growing
A new bud on the stem
His flower bloomed
With concealed thorns
Buried deep
Molding his soul once more

You were Willind *and* Talias...lol i've been on the site for about 4 - 5 years and ya didnt tell me! x

I'm truly sorry the site is finishing, i think like most people on here it has been a release/ step away from RL but then sometimes RL takes over and i guess it has to precedence. Wish everyone a happy and awesome future, keep in touch my msn: mariamparker@msn.com

I know this place can be quite the release from the world for many people. I've decided to keep open threads for games as well as the Fallen Warriors Tournament for the chance some people still want to RP or have fun with each other. But as for me, do not expect me to be RPing, which also means those threads may never get off the ground with me retiring *shrug*. And the main plots will close, as like I said earlier, they practically depend on various characters of mine and I have no drive to keep them going. Eventually the entire place will close down, but I'll leave it open for those people to still RP if they want to in the places that don't depend on me or the main story.
