Happy birthday @frejaarchfield :D I kind of blended both character bios you submitted for the @sso-medieval-au, hope you like it :)

[sso-medieval-au]

Is this ever going to pick up again?

Hi anon!

Thanks for your ask - and sorry it took so long to get back to you. The Medieval AU is going to be left as a sandbox AU at this point - as in; you’ve been given the information, now feel free to create!

I originally planned this out to be a full thing with a set storyline and everything, but the interest in this AU has died down quite a bit between admins, which makes it hard to formulate a story and tbh I’m not that good of an author so it would be difficult to keep writing. I think leaving this AU open as a sandbox AU would be the best course of action in this case in order to keep it alive.

That being said, if we have any updates on the AU, the blog will be updated with the info!

[sso-medieval-au]

Are you still accepting characters.

no sorry

[sso-medieval-au]

is this still a thing?

Yes, it still very much is, but it's on temporary hiatus at the moment due to school starting again - but don't worry, when we all have breaks at the same time, we'll be discussing the AU again! That being said, people are still more than welcome to create their own content for the AU!

[sso-medieval-au]

One more batch of @sso-medieval-au dresses, not sure if they have any medieval feeling at all. Not that I really care, doing these for fun.

angry face anon: i am just a little pissed off because before i knew about this Au i always had medival roleplays and i made lots of art, but i guess i'm not alolwed to post anything because everybody would say i stole the idea or something

I’m sorry you feel that way, anon, but we can’t be held accountable for that! It’s a pity you missed our deadline for character submissions, but no one is telling you not to post your posts - plenty of people have made content for the AU, so feel free to do the same!

been feeling the medieval muse recently so a few more images of Eden for the AU! @sso-medieval-au

Top Left - Page/Squire Eden

So this is supposed to be Eden in her mid to late teens, where she is still in training to become a knight. Given that she was born into less than nobility, she was looked down upon by most of her peers, leading her to become an angery child determined to prove herself to be just as good as anyone else…you can imagine this led to multiple broken noses and many hours spent in the medieval version of detention (pst that means she was cleaning a lot more horse poop than everyone else) Eventually a sympathetic knight - Thomas Moorland - saw Eden’s potential and took her on as his squire, training her to control and channel her temper. She trained alongside his son Justin, until adulthood when they took and passed the final exams that completed their ascension into knighthood

Top Right - Eden, Knight of Firgrove

Newly knighted at the age of 21, Eden found herself assigned to Firgrove, a place much more frigid than her home in the Harvest Counties, hence the layers of clothing. Given that Firgrove is located in the mountains, it’s typical for the knights to don the clothing better suited to rangers when they are not in armor. However, even after being knighted, and despite her numerous achievements and the endorsement of Lady Zelda, Duchess of Firgrove and Justin’s lover(?), Eden was still the subject of much scrutiny from the Firgrove nobility. One noblewoman, Lady Blanche, pushed Eden’s buttons so much that the young knight demanded the lady send our her best vassal in a jousting competition so Eden could prove once and for all that despite her “low” birth she was just as capable as anyone else of being a knight. Though the contest was intense, she pulled through with a triumphant unseating of her opponent, earning the respect of the Firgrove nobility and forever stinging Blanche’s pride.

Bottom - Lady Eden and Lord Lucian

As it turned out, Blanche’s champion that Eden defeated was Lucian, a knight and son of a local lord in Firgrove who was set to inherit the estate in the next few years. Impressed by her skill and daring to challenge the status quo, he began to spend a lot of time with her, and the two developed a friendship that eventually blossomed into romance. Shortly thereafter, the current Knight-Commander of Firgrove retired, naming Eden as his successor. Lucian, after claiming his inheritance, proposed marriage to her, and she accepted. The above image is an idea of what they might wear to a formal event, though Lucian would probably shed the armor for such an occasion.

Alrighty! Now that Eden’s backstory has been fleshed out a bit, anyone writing something for the AU has my full permission to use her in their stories! I’m currently working on a short story going into more detail with her feud with Blanche, and I’ll try to have it uploaded soon! Also if I missed or contradicted anything in the above that may have already been established by another community member, please let me know so I can rework it! I

Writing prompt: medieval AU

Thank you Burgie for sending this in!! A day in the life of Resse

@sso-medieval-au

Resse’s day started like any other. He had woken up at the crack of dawn tooversee that the manor’s horses were fed. Everything seemed fine until about mid-morning when all hell had brokenloose. At first Resse had been calledupon when a pregnant mare had started to foal. The mare easily gave birth to a healthy filly. Resse kept watch to make sure that the foalwas able to stand, he heard a commotion coming from the main barn. He looked out and saw a number of horses comestreaming out of the barn. Resse couldnot see any signs of smoke or fire coming from the building. Resse left one of the stable hands to lookafter the mare and foal as he rushed outside. He was met with a handful of horses rushing around the courtyard andstable hands running after them.

It took them about an hour to get almost all of the loose horses back into theirstalls. The only one left was Dancer, ausually unbothersome warmblood gelding. Thedapple gray horse had been playing a “game” with the stable hands by acting asthough he would allow them to catch him then run away when they got close. Nearly half an hour after the others had beencaught Dancer was still running wild, so Resse called the closest stable boy tohim.

“Jacob fetch Esmeralda! She should be in theknights’ training yard!”

Theboy ran as fast as he could in the direction of the training yard. He quickly returned with Resse’s daughterEsmeralda. She was wearing the lighttraining armor and was still carrying a dulled sword. Even at a light jog her long legs had outpacedthe stable boy who ran to keep up. When shereached him, she immediately asked her father what had happened.

“Yourblasted horse got out and let some of the other horses out of their stalls aswell, and now he will not let anyone catch him,” Resse stated.

Esmeraldalet out a small sigh before taking a breath.

“Dancer,”she said in a loud and sharp tone.

Her voice cracked through the air like a whip. Everyone stopped in their tracks at the sound. Dancer spun around and faced the directionthat Esmeralda was in and pranced towards her. She waited with arms crossed over her chest as her horse approached her. When Dancer reached her she scolded him severely.

“Take him back to his stall and make sure that it is securely closed,” Resse said tohis daughter.

She nodded and he watched as she turned on her heal and started walking towards themain barn with Dancer following, his head hung low. Resse quickly went to check on the mare andfoal before gathering all of the available stable hands together, anger clearlyseated on his face.

“Which one of you blasted sons of dogs left that horse’s stall unlocked!” Ressebellowed.

All of the boys shied away from his anger. He continued yelling at them until one of the boys owned up to hismistake. Resse dismissed all of theother boys before severely chastising the lone stable hand.

After everything had settled downResse went about his day training the young horses of the stable and overseeingthat everything went smoothly. The restof his day was uneventful.

and the wizard’s staff is the wizard’s friend, it is, it is!

felt like drawing medieval!ronja properly for once.

the stormhammer clan (led by halli nary-a-care and his wife aslaug) is a roving band of robbers, outlaws, brigands and other such dregs of society who eke out a living in the dangerous woods of firgrove. though they’re about as ruthless and violent as you’d expect, they’re not without their own kind of honour – they mostly aim at people they know aren’t living off their last shilling. as far as they’re concerned, there’s honour among thieves, but none among the nobles.

(they’re not above taking bribes, though.)

ronja knows perfectly well that she’s a foundling, but doesn’t really care – if whoever spawned her was careless enough to leave her in a forest, clearly they’re not worth dealing with. besides, being the only black-hair in a sea of redheads is a dead giveaway. 

at the moment, she’s out making her way alone through jorvik, as the clans tradition dictates; when a child comes of age, they must go and ‘find their name’ in the world before coming back stronger and smarter. considering people have started gossiping about a mysterious nighthob, the most dangerous (and petty) criminal in all of jorvik, it seems she has succeeded.

medieval writing prompt: when traveling a small distance, duchess Zelda somehow gets separated (maybe wolves or a storm) from the traveling committee (made up mostly of knights to protect her) and is forced to spend a night or two in the woods alone with or without her horse.
