Dawn of the Fourth Era is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) or at least will be, we hope, that takes place in the large continent of
Aarde. Here you can do many things. You can fight monsters your entire life and try to be the strongest monster hunter there is, fight large dragons in a party with your friends, embark on long quests, create your own goods and become a salesman, along with many other things. Tired of walking everywhere? Travel faster by riding your trusty steed. Bored from everything else? Get a little history lesson on the continent of
Aarde and discover the true meaning behind that certain statue or landmark. Tired of just being the same old warrior try out the many other classes and races. Choose from 4 base starting classes which branch off into many other character classes, and choose between 6 different races which all descended from an ancient people. Where did these races come from and why are they the way they are? Learn it about them from the many historical books found throughout the continent of
Aarde. In the land of
Aarde, you'll travel across vast plains, through thick jungles, across the deserted wastelands to the northeast, over large mountains with many caverns, and even to the frozen mountainous wastelands to the northwest. In Dawn of the Fourth Era you'll start off at the capital city for the race you choose at the beginning. So get going and explore the massive land of
Aarde in Dawn of the Fourth Era!
Classes:A number of classes are available to the player, branching off from four starter classes:
-Fighter
-Scout
-Cleric
-Mage
A detailed list can be found
here, at our wiki.
Race Information (Male is top row, female is bottom row)
HumanDescription: The most popular beings among
Aarde, in which can adapt to the many different climates in
Aarde, thus being the most populate.
Capital City: Ghalreah City (gal - ray- uh)
ElfDescription: The most pure beings who have descended from the ancient people known as the Sindarion.
Capital City: Eldra'an (el - dray - en)
DwarfDescription: Dwarfs were the first to rebel against the Minion attacks and have changed the least from their ancestors, the Sindarion people. Dwarfs were once the only other race besides the Sindarions, and the Minions until they were pushed away from the main lands of
Aarde up north into Svartalfheim which consisted of 3 large islands that they inhabited.
Capital City: Irogam (ee - row - gum)
OrcDescription: Orcs were some of the last people to rebel against the Minion assaults which is still visible due to their close appearance to the Minion race which cross-bred with the Sindarion race.
Capital City: Drekthar (drek - thar)
Dark ElfDescriptions: Dark Elves were one of the greatest creations of the Minion slave owners, of the Sindarion race. They were bred to work in hot, humid climates, in jungles and in swamps, yet they are one of the most purest of the descendants of the Sindarion race, like their Elf brethren.
Capital City: Zelit'zil (zel - its - ill)
MinionDescription: A race of demon-like creatures that spawned from Tartarus, also known as the 'underworld' by a man who decided to open up the gates of Tartarus, only to be attacked by these demon-like creatures. Over the many years they eventually got weaker from being away from their homeland in Tartarus, which is why they are now short and no longer in control of the other races.
Capital City: Zim'albe (zim - al - bay)
StoryAarde has never known peace. It's history has been rife with conflict, invasion, and warfare. In the past the God-Kings of old ruled the land, only to be undone by their own lust for power when they opened the gate to Tartarus, unleashing the horror that was the Minion horde. The Minions were considered the single greatest threat to Aarde, even after they were cast down by the subjugated races.
But now dark tidings come from the north; a shadow has fallen over the wasteland. Vast legions of the undead have appeared--some say they are led by an ancient evil reborn. Worse still is the spread of the Miasma, a corrupt mist that blights the landscape. It transforms animals into vicious beasts that stalk the countryside, and it emanates from fissures that have opened throughout Aarde.
Only time will tell if the races can set their differences aside and work together to combat this new threat. In the end though it is the heroes that rise to fight this evil, who will be remembered...
NOTE: More of the story can be found at our
Wiki, along with other info such as the world map and other things of that sort.

We Need Help!Well, if you read the entire post, congratulations because it took a while to make, also, you would've realized that this is going to be a large project, which is what we're aiming for, a
massively multi-player online game, sure it might not consist of thousands of players when it's completed, but we hope to get a good amount of people playing. So that comes to my next point, we're going to need help in pretty much every possible category, but the categories that we'll be needing the most help in, is sprite work, mapping, and music. We don't necessarily need writing as most of the writing is already covered by Ever, or scripting as much except for getting the online functions to work, because currently there isn't much in them because the Netplay Plus project is on delay or some sort. If you'd like to help us out, we'd be very appreciative, please either post here or send myself, Icedmetal57 an email, I've included my E-mail address along with my AIM screen name above in-case you'd like to help or you have any questions.
Also we plan on rewarding anyone who helps us when the game is complete. For example things like special items, gold, characters, etc. depending on how much you're willing to aid us.
Note: Will Update with up to date info soon. Currently need to change Minions picture, as well as replace Dwarves with new replacement race, the Umfreyr.
