~LORE~
Abreth:
The world of Abreth consists of many islands and continents. Many of these lands are wild and savage, some shrouded in mystery, but there are a few known continents that inhabits great kingdoms. One of these was the Kingdom of Selanar who called the continent of Selantion its home. Although there are many continents unexplored, they believe that they are the most dominant kingdom on this world. The Kingdom of Selanar was not the only kingdom however. For there was another continent below Selantion named Vartiel which housed many kingdoms, but they were divided and in constant war. Inside one of those kingdoms lies the very capital city of wizardry in a vast desert.
Current World Map:
35 Years ago..
The continent of Selantion has been around since the old god created the world. No one knows how long it has been around for, but generations of kings have ruled in the past. These kings named this land the Kingdom of Selanar. The Selanar have been known for its military strength and great victories. They have also been renowned for their success in trade. After the exile of Remus Alrion, and the crowning of the “false” king, poverty had struck the eastern regions of Selantion. Darker times were coming.
The people of Selantion are ruled under the current King Mantios Dor, whom is claimed a false by Remus Alrion. He came to power after the previous King Robyn Alrion was assassinated by an unknown group. The illegitimate son of Robyn named Remus stepped forward to claim his position as king in Selantion. But, Mantios had more supporters rallied behind him, even most of the military. This caused a decision to be made, either Remus would leave under exile for the rest of his days. Or he would stay and bow under the King Mantios Dor.
Remus refused to stay and denounced Mantios and gathered all of his supporters including the archwizard Ricros Fordion who was the archwizard of the wizarding academy. Ricros rallied most of the trainee wizards to join Remus in exile. Remus gathered over two-hundred men to his side as they all prepared for the long journey ahead.
((This is the continent the current story on the server takes place in. Your character must live in Selantion! ))
The Alrion Isles:
After weeks of travelling on boat, running out of fresh food and water, they came across an island on the horizon that was uninhabited by any man. The island was full of nature. There was enough space to build on and there were more than enough trees to chop down. It was perfect in Remus’ eyes. The only problem is the volcano in the middle of the island, though it shows no sign of eruption.
Fifteen years to the day when they arrived from the long journey across the ocean, they have built settlements on the main island, with help from the wizards who master telekinesis, it was only a matter of time before stone forts and battleships had risen with men and women working in them. Eventually they started to form new alliances in this uncharted area. A great age of growth had begun.
(( The current story does not take place on the Alrion Isles. Your character can not be from the Alrion Isles. Old applications can reclaim their character from the Alrion Isles once the Kingdom of Alrion shows up in the story once more, but are required to make a new character in the meantime.. ))
King Remus Alrion
King Robyn Alrion was the father of three children. Unfortunately one of those children was a child born out of wedlock. That child was Remus. Although he was not a legitimate member of the Alrion Dynasty he was still loved by his father and his half brothers. At the age of sixteen he was assigned to the Royal Legion like most bastards from royal birth are obliged to. In the Royal Legion he became adept at swordsmanship after years of training. At the age of twenty-three Remus took part in the Battle for Edras alongside the Royal Legion. There they had achieved a great victory against the army of Iros, an enemy to the Selanar. Due to this victory the island was claimed by the Selanar. King Robyn was proud of this victory and decided that Remus had proven himself worthy of being a legitimate child. The day Remus heard this was one of the happiest days of his life.
Though the happiness did not last for long. Robyn was assassinated as well as the queen and Remus’ siblings. This was before Robyn could officially declare Remus a legitimate child of the Alrion dynasty. Therefore it was debatable if Remus was the true king or not. This didn’t stop Remus from demanding the throne as he truly believed that he had the right. He wanted to succeed his father after all and lead the Kingdom of Selanar to a great age in honor of his now deceased father and siblings. Unfortunately for Remus, someone else claimed the throne. Mantios Dor, a distant relative of Robyn Alrion and lord of the West, believed the throne belonged to him. He was also at an advantage due to the many followers he had as Mantios was a war hero from the Royal Legion.
This advantage led to his success as Mantios rose to the throne and Remus was forced to leave Salention unless he gave in. Remus refused and chose for exile. And he did not leave alone as there were still people, including the archwizard of Salention, that believed him and supported the House of Alrion! They voluntarily followed Remus Alrion in his exile. Once Remus and his followers found the uninhabited islands, it was he who saw potential in this unknown wild land and decided to settle. He named it the Alrion Isles after his family name. Remus hoped that he will one day retake the Kingdom of Selanar and he still does today..
Present Day: Selantion
As the Alrion Isles grew in all its glory, trading with small island settlements and allying with with many great kingdoms, The Kingdom of Selenar was not so fortunate…
After Remus was exiled the people of Selenar started to turn against the king Mantios Dor believing that he would doom them all. Although he was the wrong heir to the throne, his intentions were much better than Remus… The people caused riots in the cities. People fled to live in the eastern lands, or tried their luck in the northern regions of Selantion. Farms became useless as bandits filled the lands, destroying crops, killing innocent and pillaging as they please and Mantios could do nothing to stop it, the people wouldn’t listen, his own guards turned against him and left. Only a few loyal stayed with him to help, but it was no use.
Months later Mantios fell into a state of depression. Most of his followers left, his citizens wanted to see his head on a pike and nothing was stopping them from doing so. He would lay in bed wishing that Remus took the throne so that this nightmare never happened. He would be found by his wife in his room attempting to hang himself from his balcony, only to be stopped in an instant. He would often beg his wife to leave him, but she never would. She was the only hope of him surviving.
As the bandits pushed across the land. They laid absolute waste to the east of Selantion. Causing most of the survivors to flee back toward the west to live in the capital once more. They would come begging for mercy to the king… The king would not respond to their requests.
The bandits made a home in the east, in ruins of cities which they had laid waste to themselves. They named themselves after a common emotion in the eastern reaches of Selantion. They went by the name of "Fear”. They would be inspired by the Northern Skulls. A group of barbarians who were banished from the lands many years ago, they wished to spread chaos and take down civilization as it is. "Fear would never venture into the west, as they would be run down by the guards of the main capital, so they resorted to heading down to the south to pillage farms.
Twenty years after Remus’ exile, a great depression had fallen over the eastern regions of Selantion. The people became poor. Due to this poverty, there was a lack of educated doctors and herbalists. Volunteering doctors from the west were usually slain by bandits who were dominating the east.
The lack of doctors and herbalists resulted in a dangerous plague which has lasted for fifteen years and is still continuing, the plague has killed over half of the population in Selantion and runs freely in the far east of the continent where there is hardly any civilized contact, but not only that. After the victim dies, their body reanimates and becomes something completely inhuman. The reanimated corpse becomes incredibly aggressive and hostile towards anyone who comes near them.
Many stories spread around the kingdom. Most of them stating that they feast on your soul after they take your life, so your soul cannot ascend to the afterlife. Because of this and the fact that the plague is extremely infectuous has forced the west of Selantion to isolate themselves from the east even more. And not only the kingdom of Selanar was struck by fear. For the neighbouring continent of Vartiel has erected walls where Selantion connects with Vartiel, this is to contain the threat within and to keep it away from their homeland, this wall has been standing for ten years and shows no sign of coming down. The survivors from the east fled back to the west to stay safe. Mantios ordered a military team to stand guard at the border of the east to fend off any savages and reanimated men so that citizens may live their lives peacefully, until this nightmare has been resolved.
However, not only in the East lies the threat of doom. For a frost dragon has recently emerged from its lair in the North. It roams the lands of Selantion, leaving only destruction in its wake. The frost wyvern has taken lifes of many, mainly those of Valcrest. As the dragon consumed its prey, it destroyed huge parts of the city, mainly the Cathedral District. Nobody knows what the creature's actual intention is, but it seems eager to attack the men of Selantion. Other places have also faced the dragon's terror, as the town of Eastmarch faced the menace and even managed to wound it!
With the dead rising, savages terrorizing the east and the first appearance of a dragon in ages. Even without the aid of Vartiel, men and women in Selantion fight for their own safety. Many from Vartiel stay stranded and the people of Selantion are scared for their lives. Men and women have volunteered to stand up and defend their kingdom… Others seek to destroy it.
~Races~
You can play as a human or dwarf at the current moment. Humans follow the basic lore, however the dwarves have been introduced recently to the lore.
Dwarf Lore:
- The Pale Dwarves from Beneath -
A very long time ago, there used to be folks living on the mountains of the northern reaches of Selantion, back in an age where snow did not fall in these high peaks. These folks were not by far the tallest of all, for they were half the size of a mere human. But, they lived twice as long! They grew their beards long and had a love for crafting all kinds of things. But, these dwarves were gifted with a talent that seems to have been inherented from generation to generation. That gift was their excellence in mining. The dwarves of the North dug into the mountains, using the materials they found for their crafts. They crafted great axes from the iron they found and even discovered the mineral of Arcanite, this mineral was glowing red and emitted a certain source of magic. The short folks used this to empower their defenses with arcanite-powered catapults and some of the richer dwarven even imbued their armor with this mineral.
Not only were these dwarves adept at the craft of weaponry and the art of mining, they were also great builders. Their homes on the surface of the mountains were massive, as if they were built by godly beings. And not only the surface was paved with excellence, also their mines were built with care and precision. Their mines were said to never collapse.
Sadly, this seemingly golden age of their kind was to end swiftly at the rise of a great menace. Unexpectedly, the kingdom of the mountain dwarves was sieged by a threat that roams the skies. These beings were elevated in the sky by massive wings and were coated in scales. They pierced through the dwarven defenses with ease. Some of the mountain folk succeeded in taking one of these beings down, but it mattered not. They were outnumbered by this evil that seemed to be driven to wipe these mountain folks out. As most of the dwarven men fought on the surface, their women and children were taken into the mines, for they were the only safe place. The war did not take long however, as most of the dwarven soldiers lost hope as well in the midst of seeing their kingdom destroyed in a matter of hours. Eventually, every single alive dwarf fled into the depths of the mines, not to return to the surface. The situation was so dire that they had to seal off the great entrance of the Grand Mine.
Trapped in the depths forever, the dwarves of the northern mountains dug endlessly for ages and ages. Eventually, their people could not even remember the presence of sunlight. Their memory of their rule on the surface would eventually pass over into myth and legend. And as they remained in the depths for centuries to millennia their people's skin pale from the lack of sunlight. The only light they would see would be of torches and the glow of arcanite. Nonetheless, these now pale dwarves remained positive in their outlook to the future and were still as outspoken as ever! Their curiosity was still running at full capacity as they explored every depth of Abreth's earth..
But, at some point the pale dwarves dug too deep.. Their curiosity did not reward them this time. For they delved into an ancient lair, covered in a hardened substance that oozed the smell of blood. And in this lair.. They had awoken something.. An ancient evil from the depths of the earth has risen, from a time that should have been long forgotten. Something these pale dwarves were never meant to discover, nor would any mortal. This evil unleashed a certain darkness in these deep caverns of the pale dwarves, devouring every living being it touches. Only a few survivors have surfaced from its attacks, but they could not describe the horrors they had seen.. The only thing they could speak of was the name.. "Igroth". An evil demi-god, well-known in dwarven legend.
The King of the Dwarves; Barnok Steelforge who lived closer to the sealed of gate to the surface was quickly informed of this menace. He quickly rallied his people to the sealed off gate and ordered it to be obliterated. The gate was blasted open by the use of arcanite bombs as the pale dwarves of the underground kingdom of Nhurdin found themselves in a cold snowy peak. The dwarves were unaware that the climates had changed in all those years, as they now had to rediscover their ancestor's homeland covered by white snow..
The Pale Dwarves of Nhurdin travelled through the snowy mountains, some of their people died of the cold of snow. They stumbled upon ruins of their ancestors and asked for blessings from their god, the High Father Modir to protect them.. Sadly, their safety was not certain at all..
For moments later a winged being spoken of in the legends took an appearance once more.. However, this winged menace held the same color of the frost in these changed lands and breathed frostfire! Panic ensued as the dragon burned many of the refugees, it seemed history was about to repeat itself once more. The dragon circled around them in the skies, observing their strategies. Many of the dwarven footmen protected the King and his sister as they stood together. However, this was all in vain as the dragon flew towards the King and his men, it seemed to be very aware that the King was the leader of the group as it stared at King Barnok furiously. It stroke fear into the soldiers as they held up their blades shaking. The lizardous being lowered onto the surface, grabbing King Barnok, his sister and a few footsoldiers and flew off with them. Dropping them into the depths of the mountains. Seemingly ending the line of Steelforge.
However, all hope was not lost. As King Barnok's cousin; Kirik Dornoth took his last efforts to man one of the ancient arcanite crossbow and shot the dragon! It pierced right through his scales, wounding the winged beast. The dragon screeched in pain as it flew off, away from the dwarves. This marked the time for Kirik Dornoth's rule of the people of Nhurdin as they followed him through the seemingly endless snowy mountains until they stumbled upon a fortress in the north. It held a white flag with a black cross. There were soldiers on its walls who shot at the dwarves.. The pale dwarves were quick to realise that they were not welcome there and fled further towards the south.
After traversing through farmlands and villages, they stumbled upon the human city of Valcrest. Its human inhabitants were fascinated by these pale dwarves and quickly accepted them into their Kingdom. The people of Nhurdin swore allegiance to the Kingdom of Selanar and were allowed to build their own refuge district in the city of Valcrest.
What the future awaits for these pale dwarves? No one knows.... But, they don't seem to want to go back to their homeland anytime soon.. They fear what the being in the depths could do to the surface..
~Skills~
There are no strict classes on this server. You can decide what you want to be, but you will have to work at it to become good at specific skills and professions. Most of these skills will be performed in RP. Overtime you will be able to learn more professions and skills that also work with ingame systems as we will add more and more plugins.
Building is possible outside and inside of the main cities. Do make sure that your buildings fit the In Character situation. Also; caves must
be supported!
Magic is one of the skills that you can't learn on your own and you need to contact a person who trains people in magic or find the magic books to learn them yourself!
Magic:
Magic is considered as a uncommon thing in the world, but it is possible to learn. In Selantion, magic has basically disappeared,mostly. When Ricros Fordion, the last archmage, joined Remus Alrion in his exile. He shut down the wizard academy and took most of the knowledge and his pupils with him. The rest of the books were stolen by thieves and the likes. This caused the Wizard Academy building to be closed off as magic slowly disappeared over the years. However, some books are still out there and magic is slowly making its return as a new archmage has risen up for the first time in thirty-seven years; his name is Veleshka, you can seek him out.
(Veleshka's username is drt22 )
Ofcourse Wizards specialize in many types of magic, but are only able to study two types of magic to their full potential. Necromancy has not been seen or heard of for many years, although a young apprentice known as Buroge went mad with power and left his wizarding academy. Rumours have claimed his death or some have seen him wandering the forests of Selantion.
IMPORTANT: Please remember that you can not MASTER magic in your application. You can only have a slight sense of magic, a hidden potential, that you can not control.

King Remus Alrion
King Robyn Alrion was the father of three children. Unfortunately one of those children was a child born out of wedlock. That child was Remus. Although he was not a legitimate member of the Alrion Dynasty he was still loved by his father and his half brothers. At the age of sixteen he was assigned to the Royal Legion like most bastards from royal birth are obliged to. In the Royal Legion he became adept at swordsmanship after years of training. At the age of twenty-three Remus took part in the Battle for Edras alongside the Royal Legion. There they had achieved a great victory against the army of Iros, an enemy to the Selanar. Due to this victory the island was claimed by the Selanar. King Robyn was proud of this victory and decided that Remus had proven himself worthy of being a legitimate child. The day Remus heard this was one of the happiest days of his life.
Though the happiness did not last for long. Robyn was assassinated as well as the queen and Remus’ siblings. This was before Robyn could officially declare Remus a legitimate child of the Alrion dynasty. Therefore it was debatable if Remus was the true king or not. This didn’t stop Remus from demanding the throne as he truly believed that he had the right. He wanted to succeed his father after all and lead the Kingdom of Selanar to a great age in honor of his now deceased father and siblings. Unfortunately for Remus, someone else claimed the throne. Mantios Dor, a distant relative of Robyn Alrion and lord of the West, believed the throne belonged to him. He was also at an advantage due to the many followers he had as Mantios was a war hero from the Royal Legion.
This advantage led to his success as Mantios rose to the throne and Remus was forced to leave Salention unless he gave in. Remus refused and chose for exile. And he did not leave alone as there were still people, including the archwizard of Salention, that believed him and supported the House of Alrion! They voluntarily followed Remus Alrion in his exile. Once Remus and his followers found the uninhabited islands, it was he who saw potential in this unknown wild land and decided to settle. He named it the Alrion Isles after his family name. Remus hoped that he will one day retake the Kingdom of Selanar and he still does today..
Present Day: Selantion
As the Alrion Isles grew in all its glory, trading with small island settlements and allying with with many great kingdoms, The Kingdom of Selenar was not so fortunate…
After Remus was exiled the people of Selenar started to turn against the king Mantios Dor believing that he would doom them all. Although he was the wrong heir to the throne, his intentions were much better than Remus… The people caused riots in the cities. People fled to live in the eastern lands, or tried their luck in the northern regions of Selantion. Farms became useless as bandits filled the lands, destroying crops, killing innocent and pillaging as they please and Mantios could do nothing to stop it, the people wouldn’t listen, his own guards turned against him and left. Only a few loyal stayed with him to help, but it was no use.
Months later Mantios fell into a state of depression. Most of his followers left, his citizens wanted to see his head on a pike and nothing was stopping them from doing so. He would lay in bed wishing that Remus took the throne so that this nightmare never happened. He would be found by his wife in his room attempting to hang himself from his balcony, only to be stopped in an instant. He would often beg his wife to leave him, but she never would. She was the only hope of him surviving.
As the bandits pushed across the land. They laid absolute waste to the east of Selantion. Causing most of the survivors to flee back toward the west to live in the capital once more. They would come begging for mercy to the king… The king would not respond to their requests.
The bandits made a home in the east, in ruins of cities which they had laid waste to themselves. They named themselves after a common emotion in the eastern reaches of Selantion. They went by the name of "Fear”. They would be inspired by the Northern Skulls. A group of barbarians who were banished from the lands many years ago, they wished to spread chaos and take down civilization as it is. "Fear would never venture into the west, as they would be run down by the guards of the main capital, so they resorted to heading down to the south to pillage farms.
Twenty years after Remus’ exile, a great depression had fallen over the eastern regions of Selantion. The people became poor. Due to this poverty, there was a lack of educated doctors and herbalists. Volunteering doctors from the west were usually slain by bandits who were dominating the east.
The lack of doctors and herbalists resulted in a dangerous plague which has lasted for fifteen years and is still continuing, the plague has killed over half of the population in Selantion and runs freely in the far east of the continent where there is hardly any civilized contact, but not only that. After the victim dies, their body reanimates and becomes something completely inhuman. The reanimated corpse becomes incredibly aggressive and hostile towards anyone who comes near them.
Many stories spread around the kingdom. Most of them stating that they feast on your soul after they take your life, so your soul cannot ascend to the afterlife. Because of this and the fact that the plague is extremely infectuous has forced the west of Selantion to isolate themselves from the east even more. And not only the kingdom of Selanar was struck by fear. For the neighbouring continent of Vartiel has erected walls where Selantion connects with Vartiel, this is to contain the threat within and to keep it away from their homeland, this wall has been standing for ten years and shows no sign of coming down. The survivors from the east fled back to the west to stay safe. Mantios ordered a military team to stand guard at the border of the east to fend off any savages and reanimated men so that citizens may live their lives peacefully, until this nightmare has been resolved.
However, not only in the East lies the threat of doom. For a frost dragon has recently emerged from its lair in the North. It roams the lands of Selantion, leaving only destruction in its wake. The frost wyvern has taken lifes of many, mainly those of Valcrest. As the dragon consumed its prey, it destroyed huge parts of the city, mainly the Cathedral District. Nobody knows what the creature's actual intention is, but it seems eager to attack the men of Selantion. Other places have also faced the dragon's terror, as the town of Eastmarch faced the menace and even managed to wound it!
With the dead rising, savages terrorizing the east and the first appearance of a dragon in ages. Even without the aid of Vartiel, men and women in Selantion fight for their own safety. Many from Vartiel stay stranded and the people of Selantion are scared for their lives. Men and women have volunteered to stand up and defend their kingdom… Others seek to destroy it.

You can play as a human or dwarf at the current moment. Humans follow the basic lore, however the dwarves have been introduced recently to the lore.
Dwarf Lore:
- The Pale Dwarves from Beneath -
A very long time ago, there used to be folks living on the mountains of the northern reaches of Selantion, back in an age where snow did not fall in these high peaks. These folks were not by far the tallest of all, for they were half the size of a mere human. But, they lived twice as long! They grew their beards long and had a love for crafting all kinds of things. But, these dwarves were gifted with a talent that seems to have been inherented from generation to generation. That gift was their excellence in mining. The dwarves of the North dug into the mountains, using the materials they found for their crafts. They crafted great axes from the iron they found and even discovered the mineral of Arcanite, this mineral was glowing red and emitted a certain source of magic. The short folks used this to empower their defenses with arcanite-powered catapults and some of the richer dwarven even imbued their armor with this mineral.
Not only were these dwarves adept at the craft of weaponry and the art of mining, they were also great builders. Their homes on the surface of the mountains were massive, as if they were built by godly beings. And not only the surface was paved with excellence, also their mines were built with care and precision. Their mines were said to never collapse.
Sadly, this seemingly golden age of their kind was to end swiftly at the rise of a great menace. Unexpectedly, the kingdom of the mountain dwarves was sieged by a threat that roams the skies. These beings were elevated in the sky by massive wings and were coated in scales. They pierced through the dwarven defenses with ease. Some of the mountain folk succeeded in taking one of these beings down, but it mattered not. They were outnumbered by this evil that seemed to be driven to wipe these mountain folks out. As most of the dwarven men fought on the surface, their women and children were taken into the mines, for they were the only safe place. The war did not take long however, as most of the dwarven soldiers lost hope as well in the midst of seeing their kingdom destroyed in a matter of hours. Eventually, every single alive dwarf fled into the depths of the mines, not to return to the surface. The situation was so dire that they had to seal off the great entrance of the Grand Mine.
Trapped in the depths forever, the dwarves of the northern mountains dug endlessly for ages and ages. Eventually, their people could not even remember the presence of sunlight. Their memory of their rule on the surface would eventually pass over into myth and legend. And as they remained in the depths for centuries to millennia their people's skin pale from the lack of sunlight. The only light they would see would be of torches and the glow of arcanite. Nonetheless, these now pale dwarves remained positive in their outlook to the future and were still as outspoken as ever! Their curiosity was still running at full capacity as they explored every depth of Abreth's earth..
But, at some point the pale dwarves dug too deep.. Their curiosity did not reward them this time. For they delved into an ancient lair, covered in a hardened substance that oozed the smell of blood. And in this lair.. They had awoken something.. An ancient evil from the depths of the earth has risen, from a time that should have been long forgotten. Something these pale dwarves were never meant to discover, nor would any mortal. This evil unleashed a certain darkness in these deep caverns of the pale dwarves, devouring every living being it touches. Only a few survivors have surfaced from its attacks, but they could not describe the horrors they had seen.. The only thing they could speak of was the name.. "Igroth". An evil demi-god, well-known in dwarven legend.
The King of the Dwarves; Barnok Steelforge who lived closer to the sealed of gate to the surface was quickly informed of this menace. He quickly rallied his people to the sealed off gate and ordered it to be obliterated. The gate was blasted open by the use of arcanite bombs as the pale dwarves of the underground kingdom of Nhurdin found themselves in a cold snowy peak. The dwarves were unaware that the climates had changed in all those years, as they now had to rediscover their ancestor's homeland covered by white snow..
The Pale Dwarves of Nhurdin travelled through the snowy mountains, some of their people died of the cold of snow. They stumbled upon ruins of their ancestors and asked for blessings from their god, the High Father Modir to protect them.. Sadly, their safety was not certain at all..
For moments later a winged being spoken of in the legends took an appearance once more.. However, this winged menace held the same color of the frost in these changed lands and breathed frostfire! Panic ensued as the dragon burned many of the refugees, it seemed history was about to repeat itself once more. The dragon circled around them in the skies, observing their strategies. Many of the dwarven footmen protected the King and his sister as they stood together. However, this was all in vain as the dragon flew towards the King and his men, it seemed to be very aware that the King was the leader of the group as it stared at King Barnok furiously. It stroke fear into the soldiers as they held up their blades shaking. The lizardous being lowered onto the surface, grabbing King Barnok, his sister and a few footsoldiers and flew off with them. Dropping them into the depths of the mountains. Seemingly ending the line of Steelforge.
However, all hope was not lost. As King Barnok's cousin; Kirik Dornoth took his last efforts to man one of the ancient arcanite crossbow and shot the dragon! It pierced right through his scales, wounding the winged beast. The dragon screeched in pain as it flew off, away from the dwarves. This marked the time for Kirik Dornoth's rule of the people of Nhurdin as they followed him through the seemingly endless snowy mountains until they stumbled upon a fortress in the north. It held a white flag with a black cross. There were soldiers on its walls who shot at the dwarves.. The pale dwarves were quick to realise that they were not welcome there and fled further towards the south.
After traversing through farmlands and villages, they stumbled upon the human city of Valcrest. Its human inhabitants were fascinated by these pale dwarves and quickly accepted them into their Kingdom. The people of Nhurdin swore allegiance to the Kingdom of Selanar and were allowed to build their own refuge district in the city of Valcrest.
What the future awaits for these pale dwarves? No one knows.... But, they don't seem to want to go back to their homeland anytime soon.. They fear what the being in the depths could do to the surface..
~Skills~
There are no strict classes on this server. You can decide what you want to be, but you will have to work at it to become good at specific skills and professions. Most of these skills will be performed in RP. Overtime you will be able to learn more professions and skills that also work with ingame systems as we will add more and more plugins.
Building is possible outside and inside of the main cities. Do make sure that your buildings fit the In Character situation. Also; caves must
be supported!
Magic is one of the skills that you can't learn on your own and you need to contact a person who trains people in magic or find the magic books to learn them yourself!
Magic:
Magic is considered as a uncommon thing in the world, but it is possible to learn. In Selantion, magic has basically disappeared,mostly. When Ricros Fordion, the last archmage, joined Remus Alrion in his exile. He shut down the wizard academy and took most of the knowledge and his pupils with him. The rest of the books were stolen by thieves and the likes. This caused the Wizard Academy building to be closed off as magic slowly disappeared over the years. However, some books are still out there and magic is slowly making its return as a new archmage has risen up for the first time in thirty-seven years; his name is Veleshka, you can seek him out.
(Veleshka's username is drt22 )
Ofcourse Wizards specialize in many types of magic, but are only able to study two types of magic to their full potential. Necromancy has not been seen or heard of for many years, although a young apprentice known as Buroge went mad with power and left his wizarding academy. Rumours have claimed his death or some have seen him wandering the forests of Selantion.
IMPORTANT: Please remember that you can not MASTER magic in your application. You can only have a slight sense of magic, a hidden potential, that you can not control.
