Sorry if this takes a while, but I am going to write a possible Prologue. I will use the name Wisteria for the whole world and the other name for the name of the town. They are changeable, of course, it's just for the time being. Also, the names of the main characters are just so I don't have to write something like this: A main character, another main character, 1, 2, 3.
If you don't want to use it, then I won't mind. Again, it's just a possible prologue.
(November 2, 2021 - 7:33 pm)
Actually, it didn't take as long as I thought. Please tell me what you think of my possible prologue.
*******************************************************
UNNAMED
Prologue
Kilazya was a beautiful city once. In fact it still is. However, many now say that it is not quite so beautiful because of the Neon Yellow Guards. The Neon Yellow Guards were also called NYG. They wore neon yellow uniforms, which stood out against the snow, rain, and sun. They are in charge of everything. Of course, they are under the command of Queen Nicole Crynyd.
Nicole’s Kingdom, Kilazya, used to be much happier. Everyone did what he or she wanted, within reason. They weren’t allowed to kill people, steal, kidnap, etc. Nicole became worried that her kingdom would one day fall apart. At least, that’s what she told people. Really, she worried that everyone would decide to get rid of her title as queen and things wouldn’t stay perfect.
One day, someone got the idea to invent new things out of old things. Nicole didn’t like this idea. She wanted everything to stay the way it was. She didn’t want new things. She wanted old things. She had heard of a magical relic that could freeze things so they would never change. However, the relic had been destroyed over a century ago. She often dreamed of this relic.
When people started rumors about her, she became angry. The rumors were awful. Some say that she was so weak; she would die if she didn’t have a servant to open the doors for her. She got so infuriated that she made some new orders. The queen would decide what you could build, what you could buy, what you could sell, etc. She hired the NYG to keep watch over the people. Inventions had to be personally checked over by the queen. The queen would decide whether you were allowed to leave your house. The queen decides everything, even if you were allowed to buy food for your family or work to support them.
Finally, people had enough of the rules. The queen had decided that you were allowed to wander your home at night, so people used that time to build passages to an old tunnel system. They made shops were you could sell or buy anything, banks to keep your purchased items safe, that sort of thing. The main reason for the banks was because the guards would get suspicious if things just started appearing in their houses.
It worked! People now felt more willing because they could get what they needed during the night. However, some used the tunnel system to escape the city. The queen had decided to make it so no one could move out of the city and no one could come in. In fact, now there was a huge wall with no gate of any sort. When people went missing, the queen ordered a search of all of the houses. However, the people were smart and hid the tunnels well. The guards never found anything.
Someone, however, claimed that he had the power of prophecy. The prophecy said that some children, when they are born, would be gifted with powers from the gods. Some wouldn’t, but they would still be chosen to end Nicole’s rule. Nicole ordered this man to be thrown into the dungeons until he starved. He died believing in this prophecy, but would it ever be proven to be true?

PLease tell me what you think! I wanted to start writing so we had something to start off of, but we could also not use it. Anyway, please tell me what you think. Also, I can suggust more plots if nessasary.

This is great!
The queen's backstory seems very believable, and I can understand her motivations for doing what she did. As the main villain (?) of this story, it is important that she has a believable, developed backstory, which you have done an excellent job of.
The cliffhanger at the end is also great! It hints at what the story will be about without giving too much away.

I like it a lot!
What if, when someone wrote a piece of the story a different person rewrote it, and then a different person, until we all agree that it works? Like so:
Prologue: A Brief History of the Seventh Era of Crynyd, as told by Mr. Storm Locksliver
Kilazya, the great city of elves, was beautiful once. It still was, as Queen Nicole Crynyr reminded her subjects every day, peaceful and prosperous and grand. However, much to Her Majesty's dismay, the citizens could never consider their home as beautiful as it was many years ago, when the people were free and unrestrained.
Presently, Kilazya was also the residence of the Neon Yellow Guards, who watched over the commoners with eagle's eye and vulture's talon. The NYG, as they were often referred to, controlled everything- under Her Majesty's instruction, of course; it was of utmost importance that she was able to keep everything in its proper place. They were stationed everywhere, their namesake neon yellow uniforms standing out against rain or shine, in the same fashion a poisonous frog's bright colors warn predators, "I am dangerous."
Nicole's kingdom, in the early days of her rule, was a happy one. The elves were free, free to do what they wished, free to be what they would. The only laws the Queen found necessary were the basic ones, ones that forbid murder and theft and protected her city from evil. As time went on, though, Nicole became worried her wonderful kingdom would fall to ruin. She told her subjects that, anyway, though her true fear was more of herself falling to ruin, her subjects becoming dissatisfied with her rule and robbing her of it, that her glorious era coming to an end.
Nicole often dreamed of an ancient relic, one that could freeze her people and her city in an endless loop- doing the same things every day, staying where she could keep watch on them, gently and easily conforming to her ideal of everyday life. She longed for this item, but in all the tales she found of it, it had been destroyed centuries ago.
Rumors and suspicions passed among the commoners. "She's too weak to even open the palace doors without a servant!" Some would hiss to their neighbors. "She's incapable of rule, to blind to know greatness when it's right in front of her!" Some would scoff to their friends. "You're a pretentious fool," some would shout up to the palace balcony. "Too indecisive, too hesitant! You don't deserve to be a part of the great Crynyd line of rulers!"
Furious, the Queen passed new laws and hired the NYG to enforce them. She controlled what you could buy, what you could sell, what you could say and what you could do. Anything you made had to be checked over. She decided when you could leave your house. She decided what food you got, what freedom you got and what you had to do. She built a huge wall to keep people out and in of the city. She had absolute control.
Needless to say, the elves weren't going to just fall in line so easily. In the times the commoners were allowed to roam the city, they built passageways and tunnels to underground markets and safe spaces and chests to keep their illegal items. They built ways to escape the city for those who felt it necessary. When people began to go missing, the Queen ordered a search of their houses and a sweep of the city, but the elves were clever and hid their tunnels well.
One elf, by the name of Illis Starchaser, claimed he had the power of prophecy. He told the people of Kilazya there would be born a group of young elves of great skill. Some would be gifted stealth and determination or a good sense of right and wrong. Others would be blessed with magic from the gods above. Some would even come from outside of Kilazya. This group, he claimed, would be the one to end the tyranny of Queen Nicole Crynyd. The aforementioned ruler threw Starchaser in prison for treason. He died there, still believing in his prophecy... but if it was true, no one knows...
---------------------------------------------------------------
Can this universe be one where technology (i.e., electronics) does not exist, and over the course of our story never will?
I had the idea that maybe Mr. Storm Locksliver could be like this old-ish elf who runs a market stand in the tunnels and is telling this story to some of our characters?
Anyways! Feel free to edit this to make it fit better!

Ahh, yes, I love this!
The fact that a character from the story is writing it makes it that much more believable and interesting. I love the tone, and your wording is so precise.
The rewriting idea is great, we should definately do that.
This is a great way to set the stage for our story, I really love it!

Here's my second charrie:
Name: Birch
Gender: Male
Age (13-18): 17 Sap Moons
Ability: Can speak to animals
Description: Dark hair, light brown skin, on the taller side of average height.
Backstory: His parents were Neon Yellow Guards, but they were very mean and strict and approved of the queen's rules, so he ran away and has been hiding since. He discovered his powers after he'd run away, which is a good thing because otherwise his parents would have put him in the prison, for fear he was one of the kids destined to end Nicole's rule. He permanently lives in the secret tunnel to hide from his parents and the rest of the NYG.
Other: Open to shipping with anyone around his age.
(November 3, 2021 - 11:59 am)
