Historical Summaries

This lair was created to give our followers a clearer understanding of the World of Epimetheus, one continent at a time. While the first official release of the game (not to be confused with the pilot) will introduce players to the continent of Aborlon, this lair is dedicated entirely to those lands. A structured template has been developed and applied to each nation, expanding their histories, defining national flags, and refining territorial maps. By taking a top-down approach, we’ve deepened the interactions, histories, and cultural identities of each race through focused regional development. Every addition is made with the long-term vision of building a distinctive and sustainable RPG experience. Contrast and conflict are not accidental, they are intentional design pillars. These tensions shape meaningful challenges in gameplay while enhancing immersion and narrative weight. Our goal is to create races and cultures that resonate with players across the globe. At the same time, we ...

Maps! Maps! And more Maps!!!

Biomes Map Continental map  As we construct the amazing World of Epimetheus there are things that we must consider to keep our world unique and well-balanced. Will this world have similar biomes to earth? Could there be additional biomes? What resources are in the game and where can they be found? How about wildlife, where will they habitate?

How will the mechanics of all this fit in to the gameplay? What features will be built into the server? How will the spiritual realm influence that of magic or the mundane? Does elemental magic function the same as sorcerer's powers or magician's incantations? These questions and more have worked their way in to the very fabric of this amazing world that we are building. With no major financier trying to direct any aspect of the game we are free to make it as involved a...

The Great Expansion

Good morning/afternoon/evening my fabled friends and felonious foes. There have been various changes going on behind the scenes that you may, or may not, be aware of. So take this VIP backstage pass and prepare yourselves for some behind the scenes magic in play. And maybe even become entertained with the dramatic upheaval that has been my life for the last 7 weeks. We are currently at an impasse with the artistic direction of the Giant as our following have gone eerily silent since I broke up with the wicked witch of the west. It is the audience that is going to shape the outcome of this game. The production of this game is going to continue regardless of any outside drama, of that you can be sure. I think it is safe to assume that many of you are quietly waiting to see where everything lands. But there is no adventure in safety and no excitement in silence. So break the mold and take a leap of faith. While there is no telling where things will end up, my dedication to this game ...
