Amtophia Online was once a popular MMO fantasy game created by the Kencor company. The system was unique for the time because you could completely customize not only your character's race, sex, and appearance, but you could also select classes that were out of the norm for most RPG. Most players would choose the normal fighter or mage classes but those who were in need of a "mule" character either to carry items or earn gold for them, could choose the slave or merchant classes. This was a nice way for the software company to save on NPC creation. These mule characters had their own A.I. and would interact in the game even when not played.

Over time newer and better games would be created causing more and more of the players to cancel their accounts. When an accounts was cancelled the characters that were created would remain in the world of the game, their own A.I. would kick in. These characters would continue in their own virtual lives completely oblivious that they were in a game. For them this was the real world. Other than the initial feeling of amnesia when their creator logged off for the last time, they continued on with what was their normal life. They formed groups and guilds and went on quests for gold and glory. Overtime the A.I. would even write a back story for these orphan characters. They would have memories of growing up in one of the areas of this medieval styled world, filled with mysterious creatures and clans of murderous bandits. Almost all of them when not on a quest could be found in one of the cities' taverns and inns.

Now that subscriptions were at an all time low, KENCOR came to the realization that the game was not worth keeping active. On October 21, 2014 the software giant pulled the plug to the server.

The game was shut down and all their hard work lost or so they thought. One thing that these game designers had not realized they weren't just creating a game, but an alternate universe. These characters were no longer just NPCs controlled by sophisticate A.I.! They were real living beings trapped in this Dungeons and Dragon like universe.



The world as a whole is still in a state of amnesia and are now terrified by real rain pouring down from the skies and run seeking cover in their meager homes. The game has only been unplugged for less than 24 hours at this point and the program that was keeping the weather so pleasurable is no longer working. All they can think is they have somehow angered one of their many gods.






Physical Area: The Realm of Merrowvale covers an area of 1500 square miles. Of this, 42% is arable land, and 57% is wilderness.
Population: The Realm of Merrowvale has a total population of 50 thousand people.
Settlements: The largest City has a population of 5600 people, the second largest 450. There are approximately eight other towns of note in the kingdom. The remaining population lives in numerous small villages, isolated dwellings, farm etc.
Castles: The Realm of Merrowvale has 1 active castle and that can be found in the capitol Cabea.

Merrowvale was once a prosperous nation, but after the new King took control 10 years ago it has gone from bad to worse. There have been an increase in violence and criminal bands all over and all he seems to care about is collecting his taxes and throwing elaborate balls for other aristocrats. The majority of the population is Human, though other races are found in most of the villages.
Recently there has been talk amongst the people about finding a way to revolt against the nobles and put someone more trustworthy in command.




Physical Area: The Empire of Castynaia covers an area of 25 thousand square miles. Of this, 16% arable land, and 83% wilderness.
Population: The Empire of Castynaia has a total population of 360 thousand people.
Settlements: The largest city, the capital Orgate has a population of 9000 people, The majority of the remaining population live in Ogre Strongholds or Dwarven cities hidden below the ground.
Castles: The Empire of Castynaia has 7 active castles and 2 ruined. The active castles can be found in the capital city, the rest lay with Dwarven civilation concealed deep within mountains. The other 2 ruined one can be found far to the nearly frozen over north.

The Empire of Castynaia has the reputation for being one of the most rough places to live in all of Amtophia. The climate is cold and cruel. The smartest and most inventive residents the Dwarves, who have build there city far underground. They get the most protection from the weather and have their own political ways separate from the royal family in the cities above. They do come up to trade their wares and inventions. The most populous above dwelling race in the Ogres, whom keep mostly to their selves and only bother in an political affairs when their Chief of the stronghold is summoned by the King.
Despite being populated with some of the toughest walks of life, Castynaia is a generally peaceful nation. The biggest problem they face are the Dragonics and Bandits that have been bringing their slaving rings to their lands mostly to have working the numerous mines.



Physical Area: The Majestic Dominion of Albia covers an area of 24 thousand square miles. Of this, 50% is arable land, and 49% is wilderness.
Population: The Majestic Dominion of Albia has a total population of 50,000 people.
Settlements: The largest city has a population of 18 thousand people, this would be the Capital Dinius. The races vary vastly in Albia and there are many towns, villages, tribal camp and sub-dwellers.
Castles: The Majestic Dominion of Albia has 4 active castles, 2 are in the capital alone. The others reside in the next two largest settlements Caleah and Gareskali. There are approximate 3 others that are ruins from centuries past most buried in the desert to the north of the country.

Albia is the melting pot of the Amtophia world. The rulers are just, but still turn a blind eye to the hunting of elves in their lands, feeling that they make better servants than any other race. The fact that major power in the noble classes is held by Mages who meddle in darker arts doesn't hurt either. The population as a whole is well looked after though. They pride them selves on being well educated and many of the colleges for aspiring mages for found in the capital.
The landscape of Albia is also vastly different from the other countries as well. It ranges from Mountains rich for mining, to beautiful tranquil forest, to warm deserts.



Physical Area: The Great Realm of Crystalden covers an area of 19 thousand square miles. Of this, 16% is arable land, and 83% is wilderness.
Population: The Great Realm of Crystalden has a total population of 14 thousand people.
Settlements: The largest population is 8003 people in the capital Alora. There are few other towns, but numerous elven settlements with the Sacred Woods that cover the country.
Castles: The Great Realm of Crystalden has 1 active castle in Alora alone.

The main population in Crystalden is the elves, though fauns do call the Sacred woods here their home as well. The citizens once welcomed visitors in to study the druidic arts and white magic from them, but now have little trust for outsiders because of slavers favoring their people. The noble class are centuries old and maintain peace within their kingdom. This does not mean that they are a weak race in any means and will jump to battle should their lands be threatened.

Hi guys!!! Anita here!
I want make this a high fantasy storyline, but I also want to keep it entertaining. The best example I can give to the game world itself would be think of a Fable like world or Skyrim meets Final Fantasy VII. Also this is my first time making a rpg so I want to start small in the party size. I'm open to allow more characters after a few trial runs. I would like to add darker races and so forth to add more conflict to the "good" adventures.

Also this is an official redo of my first attempt at this, no posting until it is completely finished. I am going to incorporate the dice system, and leveling.
