Welcome to
the world of
Shattered
the world of
Shattered
Welcome one and all to the world of Shattered! Shattered is an open ended RP allowing the user to play whatever persona they wish within a Tech Fantasy world. From Princesses to Savages, Artificers to Wizards, Peasants to Avatars of Gods! We are looking for a mature crowd of RPers, who want to be part of a dedicated, open world RP. We encourage every sort of RP in this savage and dangerous world.
What do you mean by Tech Fantasy?
Shattered has had a cataclysmic event when the civilization's of our seeming limitless planet was at their peak. These civilizations were at the pinnacle of medicine, science, and technology. Mysteriously the planet shook, volcanoes erupted, massive tidal waves flooded coasts, the world became a new one. The little survivors of this cataclysmic event were left to populate the world, and with many generations the once common technology was forgotten and in trade the arcane arts was tapped into. Technology still does float around, but much of the original meaning is lost. Instead technology was mixed with magic to produce machines, and weapons.
Do you really mean ANY persona?
Yes and no. We encourage you to play what you want (and discourage god modding), but pinnacle of true power would be the avatar of gods. We don't allow any actual gods, as they will be played in special events by our moderation staff (once chosen of course :X). But kings, chemists, peasants, farmers, mages, assassins, werewolfs, industrial super business tycoon, whatever you want to be (within moderation) is what makes Shattered the world it is!
What is Shattered like Geographically?
Shattered is split quite drastically geographically speaking. To the north is the Shattered lands, a frozen wasteland rumored to be permanently set in twilight. To the west is the savage lands, deep steamy jungles, with spiders the size of elephant, and open plains filled with many different species of creatures. To the east is the Ember Forest, an ever expanding forest. It was named the Ember forest due to a mysterious disease that rapidly advanced turning everything into rubies. Many brave arcane users were lost in stopping this terrible blight. and to the South is the Void. Some say it is a land full of chaos and madness, others say it is where the gods reside, all agree that anyone who has gone and returned have never acted the same. In the middle is the Isle of Intok the main city of Shattered. Much of Shattered is left unexplored and it is up to the RPers to create/explore/discover these new lands.
How is Shattered an open world Rp?
Shattered is an open world RP in the sense that most of the content is user created. Templates have been created to make creating content easier on the RPers. We high encourage players using/improving these template to contribute the world of Shattered. We also accept any forms of art for these user created areas. The more people submit the larger the world will become. Special places will also be added for event purposes and will have limited access.
Shattered is a massive world, and the faiths, kingdoms, fortune, and fame will be created by the player. Any new faiths, kingdoms, ect ect should be sent to me for approval (I am quite active). Upon acceptance, I will post it under the appropriate area in the following posts.
Announcements
2/26/09: Created the Town Crier as well as it seems multiple events are going on at the same time. Remember prizes to those who can figure out and finish these events. Town Criers will give relevant information. Look out for hidden information through out in posts, the intor pages, and the town crier. If it is blatant your character figured out and completed the event we'll automatically announce you the winner. Events are one time and can end without warning based on other events, people losing interest, or people not even getting close to it. We create multiple events just in case one or two of them can't be figured out, or people aren't interested in that particular event.
In other news I apologize for the inactivity. It'll soon change, home affairs are getting in the way but shouldn't much more.
Recruit more players so we can get into the bigger and funner events. razz
