• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

"Ew!" Hoshiko shuddered.

"What the fuck!" Sakamoto recoiled, clutching her Wu.

"That. That is new, but unsurprising given the nature of Magic," The Caster remarked. "I was hoping it'd charge and attack, but this one seems to have a snare." She shrugged. "Well, shall we press forward?" As she said this, one of her companions found something under the water in the central dias, and pulled the rod up by its recessed handle. Carefully placing a heartstone in and sliding it back down, red lights came on, emanating dimly from the still remaining gemstones above. "Ah. Let there be light."

There was now only one doorway and stairwell leading to the command center.
