Episode 1 Recap
In the dead of night a single name echoes amongst a group of hooded figures, “T’sulrok” they chant as a bone white crescent sword is raised in an attempt to eclipse the moon, but as the name rings against the walls and the unknown ritual reaches its conclusion, the eve of a well established tradition that is held every three years has ended. The Matching Season has begun.
As dignitaries, lords, ladies, and royals alike across the three nations of Eldron, Arma, and Cerul, gather themselves and prepare for the season ahead, some using demigod magics by way of solar circle to teleport into the city, we find many houses in Arma that seek attendance to The Castle, the city of the demigods, on the deck of a massive sky ship. Among them are House Claymore, House Von March, House Glaive, and finally House Torrent, a family of Cerulian royalty who are attending alongside the Royals of Arma, the Armadeums. Upon their arrival they are immediately tested and put on display for all to see, some making dazzling entrances, others making enemies, while others seek to route out those who pose a threat to their houses future.
Episode 2 Recap
A small handful of demigods survey the upcoming attendees for the “Matching Games” as they convene for one final meeting prior to the events of the season starting. Some uninterested, some waging bets and planting seeds of chaos, while others almost hyper fixated on the preparations and potential implications of what this season will mean, for this year will surely be different from all that came before it.
Many other notable families from all nations proclaim their attendance to the season and where many find the location without issue, others do not. Some end up in scandal with royals, others find their way into the homes of demigods, sewing seeds of alliances or manipulations along the way, while others grieve their attendance to the season, hoping for some way out of the situation they have found themselves in. But none have time to tarry for long, for the night's festivities must not be missed! The opening ball, a place where those who are untrue will be made evident, where allyship and pacts are formed. Where the Unmatched will fight for their very lives.
Episode 3 Recap
Good morning, Castleton! The doors to the Castle have opened, and while the mortal nations arrive, the demigods critique and dissect as they watch their “matching games.” A bit of divine intervention may prove that even the demigods have their own machinations in store. Nervous preparations are made by first time attendees, alongside previous participants re-entering the season to find a match once again. Members of Eldron make themselves seen and heard, whether to express being slighted or to plot alongside demigods and other nations to create the upper hand. The tea is spilled, but not every truth uttered is heard correctly.
When things break apart at the ball, decisions must be made for who to help, or who to let fall. Will new alliances stand up to the danger they face? While this matching season’s participants try to determine if their new acquaintances are friend or foe, or the beginning of a match for love… a love once thought lost discovers it still has a chance.
Episode 4 Recap
The Opening Ball has begun! All prospective matches from across the nations assemble together for a night of festivities, politics, and negotiations. The royals of each nation cross borders and meet those of opposing nations as the political heads of Eldron move to secure favor of those in power. The lesser houses engage in small talk, acquainting themselves with those above and below their stations, while pirates sneak an attendance with unknown aspirations. The evening is filled with merriment and joy.
But not is all as it seems. A Duchess’ proclamation spells disaster for those in attendance, and as the mortals get comfy in their duplicity and schemes, relationships are tested. Bonds are forged, alliances are made, knives are drawn. But all are made equal when death's dance makes its way across the ballroom floor.
Episode 5 Recap
A demigod made mortal, a Duke on death's door, an Armadeum with a weapon of the gods, and a defiant dance on marble floor. This was but a sample of the results of the Matching Seasons first Bloodied Ball. None were spared the brutality of its events, but a spark of hope did ignite as the nations came together for their dance against the powers that scorned them. After a time, the attendees dispersed to their homes to mourn and mull over what occurred, while some denied the very nature of the events of said night.
But even in the midst of the heightened tensions and emotions, the Unmatched must prepare, for date week arrives regardless of the conditions of one's heart. Many of the Unmatched sent letters to those they had met at the ball in an attempt to find normalcy or companionship, while others sought more insidious ends. With a myriad of places to chose from, such as boat rides, the gardens, and elysium, the Unmatched abscond in an attempt to unwind. But for others, love has no place in the days ahead as they navigated the tragedy of betrayal from those they thought family. Regardless, the next few days will chart the Unmatched to their fate.
Episode 6 Recap
As we once more return to the night of the ball, the attendees of the bloodied event turn tail and run, gathering amongst family and loved ones to navigate the tribulations they were made to endure that night. Among them, one set of lovers, a Valvaris and the now mortal Fallyn seek refuge, from any and all peering eyes, among those they call friend. What they find however would make the events of the ballroom seem like a walk amongst the roses. As these events unfold, the demigods argue amongst themselves about the events of the ball as they recount the God's intervention and its implications on their plans.
Elsewhere in the Castle, the days ahead are filled with joy, festivities, and scandal as date week has arrived! Letters have come and gone, the unmatched have picked their prospects, and now love blossoms in the gardens and streets of the demigods domain. Parties erupt amongst the populace in an attempt to forget the night, and at its center Elysium, the hub of all debauchery. The walls of the club collect many a story, secret, and kiss as the unmatched seek solace and distraction. All the while, the truths of those untrue are made evident as many navigate their next move.
Episode 7 Recap
Amaya, Scrios, The Duchess and the other demigods are making their plays and those in special favor are being positioned to strike when the moment presents itself. Be it political or military, the pieces are moving among the Nobles of Arma, Cerul, and the Senators of Eldron. All the while, scandal and entropy set foot in the house of the Claymore estate as Anri begs Scrios for answers and argues with her family about their next course of action to combat the coming storm.
More relationships bloom and grow as some rekindle old bonds across both the demigods and mortal nations. Quake and Miles, and Phimeus and Orpheum being some of the first. In the midst of more dates and flings of spontaneity, passion, and stupid fun, members of Eldron are plotting political moves to position themselves above Arma and Cerul in the matching season as they set the board to meet with the demigod Alistor, another piece in the game of the matching season. Deals are struck, contracts are signed, and unknown consequences loom on the horizon.
Episode 8 Recap
Tragedy has struck the Armadeums as the week of dates continues, and whether the new Empress keeps things hidden from the public or not, there is no denying that Arma is in trouble. As secret councils form and hidden agendas are made, a duel is proclaimed and all are made to gather and witness who will be victorious. Will it be Gilgamesh Von Marche III or Nubarron Tempest? As final bets are placed and the duel unfolds, a question rings out from the challenged that calls into consideration the reason for the matching seasons existence.
In the wake of the duel, members of Cerul say goodbye to those they loved and begin plotting anew, for the matching season has just begun, and amidst the chaos of heartbreak, demigods enter into the season, dates, and plotting schemes, there is still much to be done. But as snow falls on the denizens and visitors to the castle and farewells are had, Elyan resolves himself in his conviction and sets in place the pieces to end the matching season for good.
Episode 9 Recap
The 'Torrent Masqeurade' and Ironspade hosted 'Eldron Party' mark the 7th day of the matching season. An attempt to bridge gaps between nations to make way for new beginnings as the wake of chaos, seemingly unfaltering, continued to ravage the mortals and demigods alike. From demigods to mortals of Arma, Cerul, and Eldron, many were in attendance to the event. Amidst the gossip and lovesick gallivanting, the Duchess, Alistor, the Dhamptons, the Armadeums, and the Torrents were plotting their own moves to secure whatever end they sought. Hearts were broken, scandal disregarded, and many moves were made by the attendees that bolstered, and hindered, the already tenuous relationships.
But seemingly in a moment of compassion, as blood began to spill across nations and things began to boil beyond the mortals control, the gods finally showed themselves. A gift was given, a decree was made, one that must be honored. For if it is broken, if the gods are defied, a new hell could await all caught in the ire of the divine.
