After hours of waiting for the download to complete, the game is finally ready. You type in your username and password before slipping the headgear on. A welcome screen comes up and hopes you enjoy your game. Next, you are forwarded to a screen to create your character. There is a blank character in the center of the screen, with two boxes hovering in the center at the top. One box is blue 'Male', then other is pink 'Female'.
To the top left of the screen, you have three options to choose from as the race of the character. As you click each one, a box underneath that one explains a little about the race and the available classes. On the right, you are able to select the class that is available to the race selected, with information about that class.
Once you have decided, the next screen is filled with options to customize your characters appearance. As you scroll down the list, you realize you can customize everything from highlights in your characters hair, to shoe size. In the top center, there is a spot for your characters name. On the right side at the bottom, is a box that has facts about your race that could help with appearance and the name.

Finally, your character is perfect and the screen goes blank.
"Make sure to get comfortable." An angelic voice whispers, as a timer appears, counting down from twenty.
You feel yourself floating, as the headset kicks on. You can smell the various scents of the town, feel the gentle breeze against your skin, and taste the crisp morning air.

"Welcome to Daertalmos"



The screen goes black. Slowly, a glowing orb moves closer. After a moment, one could recognize the orb as a planet much like Earth. A voice-over begins to explain the lore of this world, while showing zoomed in cut scenes of each addition to the planet.

"In the beginning, there were several gods and goddesses who lived in Ait Naofa, a heavenly place for the gods. After several hundred years, the Goddess Airnmid became lonely, being the only woman in Ait Naofa who could not bare children of her own. She spoke with her fellow gods and decided to create a world to watch over. Though she could not bare children, she would find purpose and show love to the world, and it's creatures. It was with love and compassion that she build the foundation of the world with, and named it Daertalmos.
As a gift for her sister, Nantos a forest Goddess of Ait Naofa, created homes for the future creatures by growing the forests, valleys, and mountains. After seeing the beauty his wife had created, Farraige created the waters of the world to hydrate the earth and give a home to even more creatures. Their son, Cern, created the animals of the world. Finally, when the world was ready, Anuside create the race of elves for his wife Airnmid, giving her children to watch over.

The Elves were close to nature and had a high affinity to the Gods and Goddesses. It was a race of tall, peaceful, and nearly immortal beings. They build in the largest forests, on the side of magnificent mountains, and even some lived in underground cities. Their lives were chosen and planned out for them by the gods. The gods ordered worship and told the Elves to cultivate the land, respect the spirits of the forest, and take care of the animals that inhabited it before them. Being a peaceful race, they had no worries of war or strife. Indeed those days are known as the Golden Age to most Elves, as it was a simple peaceful life, before any war.

Vyrlo, God of the Netherworld, watched as the Gods in Ait Naofa created and populated this new world. He too, had been planning on creating a world with creatures for his own purpose. With the problem of building the world itself out of the way, he took this opportunity to create a race of his own. They were to be a race that countered the purity of the Elves, however his plan backfired and they were not the evil he wanted. Instead, the Duneil were a race of neither good nor evil, but a race of balance between the two. Furious with his mistake, he tried to destroyed all of the creatures, turning them into chimeras who knew nothing but destruction.

Cern was fascinated with the Duneil and became furious at how Vyrlo could destroy them. After explaining the magnificence of the Duneil to Airnmid, she agreed to protect them. Nantos sheltered them in her forests, prohibiting Vyrlo from destroying them. Cern became their chief God, for the compassion he had shown them.

Bitius, a lower god who helped Cern, watched the Elves for several centuries. He soon started to pity them, for their had no choices in the lives they lived. Though he could not change their lives, he decided to create his own race, a free race in their image. This is when he created the race of Humans. They were a race of freedom from the Gods who hovered over them. Their lives were shorter then the Elves, making what time they had important. In the beginning Bitius was proud of his creation. They formed their own thoughts, paths, civilizations, and some even had the Gods in mind and were spiritual beings. Being free from the ideals and paths of the Gods, they had to make their own decisions.

It wasn't long before he saw the error in his creation. They were not pure like the elves had been. They had greed, jealousy, and cruelty in their hearts. They felt no remorse when they waged war against Elves and Duneil, forcing them from the homes they had lived in for so long.
Bitius felt ashamed at the chaos his creation was making. To correct this error, he pleaded with Airnmid and Anuside for help. However, they told him he must guide his creations.

Feeling sorry for his friend, Cern agreed to try and help Bitius. To create a middle race, they mixed their magic and created the race of Duinehithe. This race lived was spiritual like the Elves, however had the freedom of the Humans. They were half animal and half human.

Despite the gods thinking the Elves were perfect, there was a flaw in their plan.The Elves became conceded and looked down on the other races. In their eyes, they were superior to all other races. Wars were raged to keep the humans at bay, and to exterminate the 'abomination' of the Duinehithe. The world of Daertalmos fell into a state of civil war.

Though the races held disdain for one another, a new threat was coming. Vyrlo was planning on destroying everything. Slowly, he his malice began to seep into the animals of Daertalmos, changing them into horrific monsters. Next, he created the races of evil, to kill all the Gods had worked hard to create. In desperation, as they were losing the war, the races of Daertalmos joined together to defeat Vyrlo.

It is up to you to help the Gods now, or let Vyrlo take control of the world as we know it"
