Greetings, folks. I'd like to make a project thread, if any of you won't mind.
FABULA FATALI
This tale takes place on Irion, a world located somewhere along the universal perimeter, a world composed of six elements known as "Spheres". These six spheres are divided into three pairs, each comprise with two contrasting elements which act as a inseparable complementary to each other, and control the life cycle and longevity of the world. They are fire and water, nature and air, light and darkness. The balance of these spheres rely on the corresponding six Spherstals, scattered in different locations of the world. These pyramid-shaped, huge crystals are the spheres' source of energy.
However, one day, a new, ancient Spherstal was discovered. It contained the sphere, mana, which could be conduced to manipulate the force of the other six spheres in accordance to the wielder's will. It was learned that this sphere has a distinctive nature from the rest. Mana doesn't have visible substance, it comes in the form of power, with the Spherstal acting as the medium. Secondly, the Spherstal can only be operated by a Lunar Child -- a person who was born in the night when Eluna, the moon of Irion, appears in full form, which only happens once in a thousand years. Irions believed that Eluna itself was a gigantic Spherstal, and the one found in Irion was only a fragment of it. The moon emits a strong magical influence upon the land when it's in a full form, thus a newborn infant would be blessed with the potence to control mana.
To the Irions' surprise, the sphere harbored such an enormous power. Even a shard of the Spherstal could let the wielder manipulate the six spheres in a large extent, such as casting a devastating fire storm or call forth a deluge of water. The unearthing of this precious artifact, though at first was believed to be a substantial breakthrough and could've proven to be beneficial in advancing the people's everyday lives significantly, had been negatively regarded by the Gaia Order, the association which partaking members are the whole nations of Irion, formed to execute the objectives of maintaining peace and stability throughout the land, and being the highest holder of international authority and law.
Thus, the Order decided to seal the Spherstal. The reason for that, was solely because of the sphere's hazardous potential of destruction. The story about the discovery was kept confidential from civilization, in order to prevent unwanted outcomes like war for the sphere's ownership, and to keep it from being misused as a weapon of world domination. Afterwards, the Spherstal was once again buried deep beneath the surface, confined in the remote island where it was found, under heavy surveillance. The Order highly urged everyone who acquired the knowledge regarding the sphere to keep their mouths shut, and to forget its very existence. This decision, however, wasn't mutual to everyone. There have been debates about whether to keep it sealed or put into use, though the opt for the latter demand was never approved.
Many years passed since then, and life in Irion has been normal during that timeline. Fayte Whitveild, son of a royal duke residing within El-Carona kingdom, was abducted by a mysterious band of mercenaries one day while he was out hunting. However, after a few weeks, he returned home, unconscious on the seat of his steed, safe and sound. It turned out he lost nothing but his past memories. People considered him to have been struck by amnesia, after a fierce wound was found on his forehead. It was concluded that he might have put off a struggle and get harmed in the process, but no one has ever knew the purpose of the short-lived abduction, and how he managed to come back in one piece.
This is where you come into the story. Fabula Fatali. The Tale of Fate.
The prologue to this campaign is on the making at the moment, it's currently about15% completed in terms of environment and triggers. When it's done in hopefully one or two weeks, I'll start calling for playtesters via this thread. Screen shots will be shipped in as I'm progressing. So you all can just let this slip away because now it serves no purpose other than telling you a brief introduction to the story.
Thanks for your attention.
