Stendhal History

Check the refactoring page if you want to know about some changes proposed for future releases.

BTW, I suggest we leave the creating of the history until we have finalised the new Map from Miguels drawings.

Lets decide on a few things:

• Tolkein style writting? (i.e. kinda poetic and fantasy like) or just normal english
• History should be a combined history of the world(i think its a bit much to go into the history of the elves and dwarfs and everything...)
• History will include:
  • Prehistory (creation of world and life, and some mythology) (keep it brief)
  • Old Ages leading upto modern times (keep it relatively brief)
  • Modern times, ie history of actual important NPCs, villages, places etc that you will see in game, (more detailed)

We don't have a real history for the world of Stendhal yet, but we have some artifacts spread out in the world giving some hints of the history. I thought this should be a gathering place for those artifacts, and also a place that have some history and background information about those artifacts.

Ados City

The rich coast city Ados is in a food crises right now, since the farm town Semos is suffering constant attacks from monsters and thieves. Thus now Ados helps to pay high ransoms to good herous that can help protect the town Semos and the food caravans that goes between Semos and Ados.

Or'ril Castle and the stone query

Or'ril castle was once built to defend the stone query close to semos from the orc hordes that lives in the mountains close to it. The stone blocks they mined from semos stone query, was mainly used to build roads and town defences thruout Faiumoni. Or'ril castle worked very good as a defence for the stone query, until the day the inhabitants of Faiumoni encountered an evil they hadnt vitnessed for ages past. The hordes of the great demon lord Blordrough. Because of the huge attacks Faiumoni got from the demon hordes the defence of semos query had to be moved and placed near the capital city Denirian, wich was in the direct line of attacks from the dreaded demon hordes. Or'ril is now abandoned and it is not known if there is anyone inhabeting the castle any more.

Semos town

Semos town is the town the workors of the nearby semos query once settled. The defences of semos is now abandoned and moved to the capital Denirian. Semos current weak state have forced them to make an emergency notice about heroes wanted in the help of town defence.

Semos underground runes

These runes was part of a terrible Demon Gate, the gate however is now sealed by an unknown force. The evil powers are still in work and makes the runes change all the time. Afraid the gate once again might opend the citisens of Semos keeps a close watch of the portal and it's runes.

The great rift

A big deep hole located in the great forests south east of Semos. This great hole is said to have been made by a great arch demon ages ago.
