I expect you have heard the old adage "Advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
They should add to the end...and vice versa.
Welcome to the world of Technomancy. It is the logical extension of countless Medieval fantasy worlds, a place where magic has continued to evolve to the point where it behaves very similarly to technology. The state of the world in Dagera is assumed to be approximately the 18th century level of technology. In other words, if something existed during the Revolutionary War it can be assumed to have a technomantic counterpart in Dagera.
Many races you know and love are recognizable in Dagera. Elves, Dwarves, Humans, Goblins, Orcs...you know them all. Or at least you thought you did.
If you say "Given enough time, magic will come to act like technology," then what about race relations? What happens to a species that is better, more beautiful, magical, and long living than all the others? The Elves, that is. Well, they have become the aristocratic class...aloof and corrupt. Their domain over the world is nearly completed.
Dwarves are enslaved. Their natural short stature makes them exceptionally vulnerable, despite their hardiness, and the entire race is now bought and sold on the open market.
The only place where things are different is in Daemor, the New World. Here, colonies have been established where freedoms of religion are more lax, and where the Elvish rule is not as complete. Unfortunately, the fledgling human colonies face constant opposition from the Goblins, natives of the land. The Goblins use their powerful nature magic to combat the Humans advanced technomantic guns, and the resulting clashes are fairly dramatic.
That is not to say that Parios, the Old World is peaceful. In the face of Technomancy, which gives power even to the lowly humans. Revolution is just beginning to stir, in the Old World and the colonies...
Now, about the site itself. We have standard rping rules (no godmodding, autoing, etc.) but with a greater focus on story-telling and planning. Events are held at all times in nearly every location, and the participants have a direct effect on the world. It is constantly updating and changing, and plans are being made for three more original races and many more areas beyond the Frontier of the southwest and the Orient of the north.
We offer freeform roleplay and constant events that can impact the history of the entire world. Members can contribute to worldbuilding, and their rps can directly influence future events. We have friendly staff and some great graphics people who are always hard at work.
