Overview:
Shadows of Everwood is an Open Roleplaying Game risen from the ashes of http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/map-development-202/everwood-unique-orpg-66835/. Like the former, Shadows of Everwood will have numerous features, however the game itself will be centered around gameplay and the conflict that is Everwood Forest. It will feature an array of heroes from two different factions, gameplay focused on teamwork and strategy as well as player vs. player combat in certain zones of the game. Items, systems, story, quests and features will also be evident in this project to create a "unique gaming experience".
Story: (Subject to change at any time.)
Once, long ago, the Ivory Tower of Llyanith stood tall over the dense overgrowth known as Everwood Forest. This tower, soaring into the skies and made from marble, was an eternal sign of the elven reign. Around it, the shining kingdom of the elves lived in peace and tranquility. However, this all ended when the summit of the tower exploded, causing it to rain magic and severely corrupting the people caught in the arcane tempest. The pure elves made it their duty to end the suffering of their corrupt ilk, and cleanse the kingdom of their taint. However, they did not fathom the power of their brethren, nor did they expect the catastrophic war that followed.
After the Shadow War, as it was named, the elves were left powerless and depleted in numbers. It was at this time that the Imperial Crown, an empire of humans that grew over the Shadow War, conquered the elven kingdom and demanded that the elves amalgamate with their glorious empire, or be executed. The cornered elves declined, and rallied together in what was left of the Ivory Tower. Once the elves were out of the picture, the empire claimed right to the elven provinces, a deed that they would regret. The polytheistic Fakkani Empire made their claims to the ancient kingdom of the elves, and when the humans conquered the elven provinces, the Fakkani High King called for war.
While the Fakkani Empire wages war against the Imperial Crown, shadows begin to form above the Ivory Tower, and an arcane tempest may very well be brewing once more...
