The first Virtual Reality game with an online multiplayer aspect. Where you will see people from all over the world in your living room and be able to experience a brand new landscape with every one of them. People have been discussing what the experience will be like for so long, you feel as if you can already imagine what the game will be like. The advanced combat system designed with pain empathy allowing you to fully experience a digital world, a physics system so complex it took two quantum computers to maintain it. An A.I. system so advanced some believe you won't even be able to tell real players from NPCs. Promising over two hundred thousand hours of game play on it's first iteration without any patches, updates or expansions. The expectations for this game are through the roof. You know this game will revolutionize everything. And now it's here. In less than a day, twenty hours from now you'll receive an email with one of the first Beta Codes released. Only five hundred of them will be given out and somehow you've nabbed one. You'll login and experience such an in-depth character creation sequence it'll consider every facet of your personality that could be imagined. Quizzing you, studying you, learning things about you that you haven't even thought of yourself. The machine knows you. After giving it a final once over and editing your character in anyway you want, you feel your body sucked into another realm. Every sense you have consumed by something new, something digital which begins to feel more real than reality ever had.

Sits at the edge of the massive floating continent known as Starland. Known by beings in the Greyland as the Glimmering City, a complex of white stone buildings decorated with all kinds of glimmering metals and cables. A railway system encircles the city with two trains running opposite of one another throughout all times. Trolley systems act as the main form of public transport with some individuals getting around town by animals, mainly horses. To the south, a large bay named the Pale Basin sits, fed by a stream from the mountains water collects here and spills over the edge raining along the continent. Players can travel to and from Silvercrown from the Grey Lands by way of skyships, although the further out one wishes to go the less likely someone will give them a ride. [h3][u][color=DCDCDC]the Mountains[/color][/u][/h3] A large expanse of mountainous wild lands. Although the Starland is inhabited by humans evil still lurks upon it, most likely residing in one of thousands of cave systems crawling across the mountains. Humans have set up some mining encampments. A great starting place for new players. [h3][u][color=DCDCDC]the Plains[/color][/u][/h3]Between Silvercrown and the mountains lies a small expanse of gentle fields where some NPC humans have set up farmland. Players can find extremely weak enemies here. [hr] [/hider] [hider=the Greyland] [hr] [h3][u][color=C0C0C0]Shadowvale[/color][/u][/h3]A city once inhabited by men now lost and fallen. Now ruled by tribes of goblins, orcs and deep trolls who battle constantly for control. [h3][u][color=C0C0C0]the Old Wild[/color][/u][/h3]An expanse of massive black trees taller than any building stretch as far as one can see. The blackened forest is home to some of the darkest and most mysterious beings. A tribe of humans are fabled to still reside here. [h3][u][color=C0C0C0]Illmire[/color][/u][/h3]A swampy marshland. Large bodies of infected water collect here breeding strange flora. The furthest any skyship has gone to date. [h3][u][color=C0C0C0]the Grimmed Steppes[/color][/u][/h3]A stark terrain covered with tall, dying grasses. A few small streams dance across the landscape, splitting it apart. An unyielding harsh wind blows across the Grimmed Steppes making survival here rather difficult. The night within the Grimmed Steppes are said to be more dangerous than the deepest parts of the Fellscape itself. [h3][u][color=C0C0C0]Blackedge[/color][/u][/h3]The area surrounding the Fellscape. A barren wasteland of shale mounds and archaic debris. As far as anyone can tell, nothing resides here. [h3][u][color=C0C0C0]Fellscape[/color][/u][/h3]Under the shadowed ridge of the Blackedge is the Fellscape. A crevice where evil itself leaks from corrupting the land around it. The oldest and youngest of the fallen creatures reside here. [hr] [/hider] [hider=the Great Blue] The massive ocean encompassing the land. Information unavailable.

Their abilities and skills will already exist, they will stumble out into the world and discover things a they go. While most players will begin trying to forge a life for themselves to get by and live on, others will try and progress or amass power. Joining the human military, becoming a baker, taking up quests or tasks are all likely ways to support oneself. Residing in the center of Silvercrown sits a short but wide building with pillars lining the front, the Institute of the Fellowship. As a player character you will be enrolled within the Fellowship, a group of NPC and PC entities who work together to take back land for the humans. Everything you do will contribute to the Fellowship in one way or another whether it is actually going to the front for combat, exploring the Greylands, supplying or funding the campaign or anything else one can imagine. The Fellowship is how most characters will come across one another, it is where you go to get quests and sign up for various tasks. The Fellowship acts as both a local government and body through which the military is controlled. Your character will 'level' as time goes on. The longer you spend in this Roleplay the more abilities you'll be allowed, the more items you'll amass and the more experienced your character will be. Your adventures are your own, this Roleplay is left slightly ambiguous because you are going to forge your own story, create your part of the world and help expand upon the Story.
