Heirs of Westria

Heirs of Westria (known as HOW or HoW) is a roleplay created by Dime and Ani. The roleplay was created on September 26, 2020.

The Heirs of Westria are all citizens of the country Westria, competing to see who will be the next king and queen of Westria. The councillors of Westria created this competition as the current king and queen of Westria had no heirs. It was won by Sebastian Briarwood and Julianna Reese.

The Beginning
The roleplay begins with the heirs arriving in their individual carriages and are greeted by the councillors. Each heir is assigned a roommate, personal servant, and bedroom for the contest. Once the heirs have settled in, they are summoned down for dinner, where a group of heirs (most of them commoners, and people who have gone hungry) start to argue with the councillors about the amount of food being served and wasted. Eventually these heirs rise up in rebellion, and a food fight ensues.

The councillors quickly resolved the rebellion, but the fire remained inside of them. However, they kept the fire quiet, and showed up for breakfast the next day. Unfortunately, there was already drama in store, because several heirs suffered poisoning from one of the contestants, Mary Ashdown. Luckily, it was nothing fatal, and everyone survived, but unluckily, the criminal was not caught.

The Joust
The joust was the first trial in the contest. It was designed specifically for the male heirs, and each heir had to face one another and see who would make it out. Several girls managed to sneak in, including Nina Willows, Calluna Brooker, Lyvia, and Angelica Tyler.

Angelica and Travis jousted against one another, resulting in Travis winning. Lyvia and Calluna faced each other next, with Calluna as the victor. Cadmus and Sebbie were next, and Sebbie won. Nina and Reve jousted against one another, and Reve won. Luke and Rowan were up next, and Luke won. Calluna went again, against Merek, and beat him as well. The joust was then ended, to be continued on a different day.

The First Kidnapping
The first kidnapping took place about two weeks into the contest. Several heirs were captured by assassins working under Fang. The captured heirs included Reve Maloof, Victoria Briarwood, Nina Willows, Angelica Tyler, Luke Greene, Travis Greene, Claira Brital, and Mary Ashdown. The heirs were tortured to extreme lengths by the assassins, which included Crew, Eden, Erik, and Wortle, who did most of the work. A rescue party was sent, consisting of Merek, Juliana, and Sebbie, but Juliana and Sebbie were captured as well. Merek was able to return and save them all except for Reve. He and Nina were captured again, but managed to escape a second time later on.

The Masquerade
The councillors decided to arrange a masquerade to celebrate the return of the heirs, and also to test how they would act in public. Every heir wore a mask and had their identity a secret (although over time, everyone was guessed). Reve returned at the masquerade, alive, to everyone's surprise. Although no one noticed, Fang was able to sneak into the castle and learn about it, his information to be used later on. Nina was also poisoned by Abigail Gregory, and although it was fatal, she was saved by Calluna.

The Fire
The fire happened several weeks after the masquerade. It was a massive fire that almost destroyed the castle. Many heirs were injured, and it took the lives of Abigail and Travis, although Travis was fortunately returned to life. There were also several servants who were injured or killed in the fire. Because of the damage done to the castle, the competition was temporarily moved to Elion, and the home of the Reese family.

Traveling
Because the councillors didn't wish to intrude on the Reese family while the castle was under repairs, they paired all of the heirs up randomly with a partner of the opposite gender, and had them travel to a village they would temporarily rule over. During this time, many of the heirs encountered different drama. Nina and Cadmus were attacked by assassins, and Cadmus was nearly killed, while Nina died, but returned to life. Luke and Angelica met Steve, and helped him with his burning shop. Travis was involved in an accident, falling down the stairs and injuring himself. Again. The heirs stayed in their respective villages for a week.

The Birthday Ball
Seeing as there were so many heirs in the competition, upon their return, the councillors decided to throw a ball for all of the heirs that had a birthday in autumn. The ball was meant to be simply a wonderful birthday celebration, but unfortunately, a love potion got into the drinks, affecting the minds of the heirs and forcing them to fall in love with other contestants. Nina and Reve fell for one another, as did Merek and Victoria. Travis and Claria fell in love, after Luke and Angelica ended up together. Sebbie and Calluna found love, despite hardly ever speaking to one another, and Lucas's feelings for Calluna only intensified. Cadmus, Mary, Juliana, and Amara were fortunate enough to not fall for anyone, and were able to reverse the effects.
