''Dark Before The Dawn'' is a forum RP on the [[http://therewillbebrawl.forumotion.net/ There Will Be Brawl forum]]. The members of the forums play themselves; ordinary humans who have been summoned against their wills to the HighFantasy world of Dragnia, told they are {{The Chosen One}}s and are expected to fulfil a heroic destiny.
The world is divided into two regions: the Northlands, which is split into 8 independent city states, and the mysterious Southlands. An evil dark force, the Nameless Army, under the ruthless BigBad- the [[EvilOverlord High Commander]]- is sweeping its way into the Northlands, commencing a blitzkrieg and slaughtering its way through the city states. Unable to form a coherent defence on their own, some have turned to an ancient prophecy that foretells that heroes from another world will arrive in their hour of need and drive back the forces of darkness. They ended up with the forumites instead.
The RP focuses on the adventures of the forumers as they travel the land, attempting to unite the city states and drive back the Nameless Army. But with shenanigans, trying to control their new powers, their own slew of personal drama and angst and the threat of [[KilledOffForReal perma-death]], will our heroes overcome their challenges and [[SavingTheWorld save the world]]?
[[NotAGame This ain't no game]], after all.
The roleplay can be found [[https://therewillbebrawl.forumotion.net/t752-dark-before-the-dawn-rp-thread here]]. It began in 2010 and was abandoned in 2014, with two unsuccessful attempts to reboot it in 2016 and 2018.
----
!!''Dark Before The Dawn'' contains examples of:
* AnyoneCanDie: Anyone can die in Dragnia. Once more, [[NotAGame this ain't no game]]. [[spoiler: Spont]] died in the very first encounter, even; cut down while heartily charging forward to attack.
%%* BadassInDistress: Perry, after being kidnapped by [[spoiler: Ashvald.]]
%%* BadassLongRobe: [[spoiler: Quaetam]] and Ansem. Avalanche doesn't count, that's a dress.
* BarredFromTheAfterlife: [[spoiler:The remaining dragons]] voluntarily trapped their souls in the mortal realm to prevent the murderer of their kind from achieving daemonhood.
* BarrierWarrior: Avalanche can summon up shields of holy magic.
* BattleCry: PEEEERRRRRRYYYYY GOOOOOOOOAAAAATTTMAAAAAANNNN!!!!!!!
%%* BattleOfWits: The situation in Leknaat between the Hierophant and Ashvald until the Champions get involved.
%%* BerserkButton: Don't touch one of Perry or Raya's friends.
%%* TheBerserker: Raya is slowly becoming one.
%%* TheChessmaster:
%%** The Hierophant, [[spoiler: Quaetam, as it were.]]
%%** Also Ashvald, through [[spoiler: his future-seeing slug demon.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: ANSEM. Can't enter a town without trying to enter all its [=NPCs=].
%%* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Sahrimnir.
%%* LesCollaborateurs: [[spoiler: Meneon]], and oh how obvious it was.
* CollateralAngst: Several examples, mostly centered around characters' deaths:
** About five characters have a subplot revolving around how useless or helpless they feel, or how they can't protect those they care about.
** [[spoiler: Weldar's]] death was particularly notorious in this aspect. Coupled with the Hierophant turning out to be [[spoiler: Quaetam]], this caused Avalanche, Camilla, Raya, and the Hierophant himself to sink into despair. This was especially appropriate for the Hierophant however: he was the one who killed [[spoiler:Weldar]]. Perry outright ragequit the party before [[spoiler: being captured by the demon-worshipping High Justice Ashvald, leading to a rescue mission.]]
* CombinationAttack: Avalanche and Sahrimnir combine their attacks whilst fighting a demon and unleash a HOLY LAZOR.
* ConvenientSlowDance: Whilst Raya and Ansem are drinking at a bar during the festival a slow dance starts playing. Ansem takes the opportunity to force her to dance.
%%* CooldownHug: How Fedaykin calms down a berserk Raya.
%%* DanceBattler: Fedaykin knows capoeira.
%%* DeadAllAlong: Technically the von Carstein family. [[spoiler: Turns out they're actually vampires.]]
%%* TheDeadCanDance: Quite literally in Fed's case.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "With those words, Sahrimnir again charged forward with his charged sword and charged the demon."
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: The eruption of essence from the dead Shu'Sharradin inflicts a vision of the future on everyone. What they see isn't pleasant.
** [[TheCorruptible They don't care for you. Your loyalty is weakness. Destroy it!]]
** [[ToBeLawfulOrGood It's not about what is just, but what is right!]]
** [[ConflictingLoyalty You are nothing like them, you belong with us!]]
** [[EtTuBrute No, no, I trusted you, I-ah!]]
** This world is nothing but pain, just leave it, leave them all behind...
** [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge KILL THEM KILL THEM KILL THEM]]
** [[YouCannotChangeTheFuture This is your fate! You cannot escape your destiny!]]
** [[FateWorseThanDeath Not her, not like this, oh please no, no…]]
** [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Oh God what have I done, what have I done?!]]
** [[PleaseDontLeaveMe DON'T LEAVE ME!!]]
* ElephantGraveyard: The Isle is a dragon's graveyard.
* FantasticRacism:
** The city state of Leknaat is extremely intolerant of the non-human races, to the point of calling them sub-humans and treating them like animals.
** The faefolk of Sylvania are mentioned to be the same against the non-fae, though they haven't been encountered yet.
* FantasyWorldMap: [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/Raya/dragniamap.jpg Lovingly hand-drawn by the GM herself]] and coloured in by Perry.
%%* FaunsAndSatyrs: Perry.
* TheFerryMan: Requiem, having won a ship during a poker game.
* FogOfDoom: The fog shrouding the Isle is actually the graveyard's magical defence, killing intruders with illusions and driving them mad from terror.
* ForcefulKiss: [[spoiler: Ansem]] does this to [[spoiler: Raya]] as a way of confessing he likes her.
%%* {{Foreshadowing}}: There's some of this in nearly every one of Raya's posts. Nobody notices.
* FullFrontalAssault: Technically Perry. Luckily he's censored by a lot of fur, otherwise being charged by a giant rampaging goatman would be a LOT more terrifying.
* FullyEmbracedFiend: Michael Vinters ''likes'' being a werewolf.
* GenocideBackfire: Kilranirax attempted to wipe out his entire race to gain ultimate power. The last few bound their souls to the mortal plane, preventing him from completing his ritual and causing him to be dragged into the daemonic realms instead.
%%* GlowingEyelightsOfUndeath: Fedaykin.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Played with. Rather than having two angels, Sahrimnir has got five representing [[KnightTemplar Justice]], [[AllLovingHero Compassion]], [[DirtyCoward Self-preservation]], [[ForScience Curiosity]] and [[TheHedonist Fun]] respectively.
%%* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: The Hierophant,]] although [[spoiler:he wasn't evil to begin with.]]
%%* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Quaetam]] after Perry bursts in [[spoiler: with Weldar's dead body.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Vandir]] stays behind to try to fight Victor and fend off the Nameless Army so the Champions can escape.
* HiddenElfVillage: The entire city state of Sylvania is closed off to the non-fae and few (if any) know what goes on inside its borders.
* HorrorHunger:
** When Fedaykin's body sustains serious damage, the instinctual Hunger takes over and he goes into a feeding frenzy to heal himself. Being undead, that feeding frenzy tends to involve live human beings.
** Raya has started indulging in cannibalism when berserk, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone much to her dismay.]]
* IdentityAbsorption: The identities of people Fed has consumed remain in the deep recesses of his mind.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: Quaetam]] did some pretty terrible things as the Hierophant, only with the intention of gaining enough power to stop the greater evil of the Army.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: Raya tries this when Fedaykin gives into the Hunger. It's less effective than a severed human arm.
%%* {{Invisibility}}: Snake's powers.
* IronicFear: Sahrimnir is terrified of heights. Sahrimnir has got wings.
* ISeeDeadPeople: Requiem has the ability to see ghosts.
%%* JumpedAtTheCall: Sahrimnir at first did this when the forumers were told they were supposed to save the world.
%%* LampshadeHanging: The entire bloody game.
* LastStand: The Highland army make one after liberating a camp from the Army's clutches, only to find [[spoiler: it was only a scouting outpost and the main force of the Army is heading straight at them.]] They stand their ground to defend their homeland to the last. [[spoiler: We later see the aftermath of the battle. Absolutely nothing survived.]]
%%* LightEmUp: Sahrimnir's powers.
* LoveConfession: During the festival, [[spoiler:Ansem]] confesses to [[spoiler:Raya]] that he has feelings for her.]]
%%* LoveHurts: Poor poor Ansem.
* MamaBear: Raya said she'd get the others back home safely, and she takes her job very seriously.
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Quaetam]] did this to Damian, and then to Claudius, using each of them and playing on their weaknesses and emotions to get his way.]]
%%** Ernstrad as well.
* MuggingTheMonster: A random thug attempts to mug Raya at the festival. Assaulting the currently emotionally-fragile berserker turned out to be a very bad idea indeed.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Quaetam on realising he's killed his close friend Weldar without realising who he was.]]
* NakedOnArrival: Technically Perry.
-->''What was going on here? What happened to the class room? What was with his legs?... WHERE THE HELL WAS HIS PENIS?!''
* NeverFoundTheBody: Spont's body was tossed off a cliff. [[spoiler: Turns out he's still 'alive', except without a physical body in the demonic realms.]]
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Werewolves are intelligent and capable of speech when transformed. They still enjoy ripping off faces though.
%%* ThePaladin: Sahrimnir's class of choice.
%%* PointyEars: Relmitos is an elf after all.
* PokeInTheThirdEye: Done quite literally and with extreme overkill when Avalanche and Sharimnir combine their powers to [[spoiler:blast the future-seeing demon Shu'Sharradin's head in half with a holy lazor.]]
* PowerCopying: Requiem is able to absorb part of the lifeforce of his dead friends and gain a watered down version of their main ability.
%%* ProfessionalGambler: Requiem.
* TheProphecy: Apparently great warriors from another world were foretold to save Dragnia. Rather than wait to see if it would come to pass the inhabitants cut some corners and forcibly summoned them instead.
* RescueArc: Perry gets kidnapped, leading the party to gatecrash a party and kick demon butt to save him.
* RunningGag: The mafia game the forumers were all playing before they got sucked into the world.
%%* ScrewDestiny: [[spoiler: Quaetam did exactly this upon his entry into the world. Potentially subverted, however: Quaetam now finds himself with the Champions anyways, helping them to unite the city states and thus, it can be argued, fulfilling his prophecy.]]
%%* {{Shapeshifting}}: Camilla. Also hinted that Raya can do this to a lesser extent.
%%* ShotInTheAss: Snake by Omicron.
%%* ShoutOut: There are a hell of a lot of references to other {{RPG}}s scattered about.
%%** Also other video games.
%%** And Movies.
%%** And an occasional trope or two.
%%* {{Spinoff}}: The mafia game based on the RP. [[spoiler: The High Commander role won.]]
* SpiritAdvisor: TD rescued a spirit, Aurora, from Ashvald's mansion and she now accompanies him.
* SpotOfTea: Raya drinks an awful lot of tea, mainly after stressful situations. She's not afraid to admit she's [[NationalStereotypes a stereotype.]]
* TechnicalPacifist:
** Snake hasn't killed a single person. The only time he came close- stabbing the Hierophant- he was repulsed by his actions.
** Avalanche never killed a person, but this might have more to do with his role as obligatory white mage.
%%* TheTeetotaler: Sahrimnir, Minby and TD.
* TemptingFate: "And after all," Raya cracked a weak smile "Things surely can't get any worse."
* TinTyrant: The High Commander is clad entirely fullplate that covers him head to foot, including an ornate draconic helmet.
%%* TreacherousAdvisor:
%%** [[spoiler: Ashvald]]
%%** [[spoiler: Quaetam]] before the HeelFaceTurn
%%* {{Uberwald}}: The city state of Mousillon.
* TheUndead: Fedaykin didn't arrive in the world fully alive.
%%* WarmupBoss:
%%** BREAD, who will clearly return to win the game.
%%** [[spoiler: Meneon]] as well, although he was certainly capable.
* WhipItGood: Relmitos' weapon of choice is a physics-defying whip.
%%* WhiteMage: Avalanche.
%%* WingedHumanoid: Sahrimnir and the Wyndian race.
----
!! YMMV
* CompleteMonster: The High Commander is implied to be one.
** ERNSTRAD-The General who turns the living and dead alike into flesh golems on a whim, who tortures and corrupts people with dark magic? Yeah. Complete monster.
* EpilepticTrees: It was once theorised that the High Commander was actually Quaetam, a forumer not present in the game itself. As this was proposed [[spoiler:before the Hierophant was revealed to be Quaetam]] cue the [=GMs=] attempting to keep a straight face whilst [[spoiler: denying Quaetam had anything to do with the game.]]
** Then the mafia game based on [=DbtD=] happened. [[spoiler: Quaetam was the High Commander.]]
