RoLaS: Key of Fates

RoLaS: Key of Fates

History

There are five realms that are bound together by darkness and the True Power.  The Mortal Realm, Immortal Realm, Netherealm, Dream Realm, and Realm of the Dead.  All are connected by the Citadel at the heart of the Crossroads, which is protected by a Guardian chosen by the Gods.  The Mortal Realm is where many stories begin, and the home to the Five Races....

Five there were to create the balance, but only three remain to wander a fading world, and they have forgotten the Old Tongue, the ancient speech of power.

If there was but one who would lift his eyes and see the pale countenance of the realm, and seek to reignite the light of hope within those who would stand and fight against the creeping shadows. And then one would become two, become ten, and ten thousand. Perhaps then Three would become Five, reunited once more, and the old Songs would rise into the air, and all would be whole.
The end of ages is coming; you can sense it in the still air, and the silent ground. Where shall we look for salvation from the darkness? A way must be found, though the path will be treacherous and hidden. It is a final chance for salvation, to return to the Great Balance of the Five. All our hopes rest upon the Prophecy, and the one who will save the realms from destruction.


Where the story begins...

Before the War of Races, three kingdoms dwell in harmony. Three races, Juna, Raihu, and Humans, live in peace. But darkness encroaches upon this land, a looming shadow of evil. Stolen, is the Key of Fates, an artifact powerful enough to bind even the Gods. An urgent call brings the Realms to arms, a small band of unwary travelers dispatched to retrieve the missing Key and defeat the menace who threatens the realms.

Take up your sword, Quester. Enter the realms, and become part of the legend...

Feel free to tell us what you think about RoLaS: Key of Fates!

What can I say? This is pretty interesting and the story makes me curious to see what happens.
So good luck, and looking forward to it.

Looks nice. Mapping could be better though. It looks a bit blank. Good luck.

I see great potential in this game, try not to be over-ambitious and work frequently alright?

Thanks everyone for your input ^^

Revo - Thanks for telling me! Updated the map. It was the old version that I put up so now is the latest one. *Heh*
