Lore

Concept art dat laat zien hoe de inwoners van Verra een belegerde stad door een goddelijke poort ontsnappen.

Lang geleden werd de wereld van Verra belegerd door een grote calamiteit, gebracht door de primaire antagonisten van de wereld: De Ouden en De Anderen. Een corruptie, dat elk aspect van de natuur in een corrupte wijze verdraaide, overkwam het land en wekte tegelijkertijd vele afschuwelijke monsters tot leven; van trolachtigen tot kolossen. Niets kon van deze corruptie onstappen.

Dankzij de goddelijke tussenkomst van de Godin der Creatie kon een groot deel van Verra's populatie vluchten door de torende goddelijke poorten, zoekende naar beschutting in een wereld zonder magie. Dit was de wereld van Sanctus.

Sommige ongelukkige burgers konden de poorten niet op tijd bereiken en vielen terug naar de planeet om te vechten voor hun voortbestaan.

Kort na de exodus verduisterden de poorten en werden deze inactief. Eeuwen veranderden in millennia, waarin talloze calimiteiten de poorten begroeven. Over de eons werd geschiedenis legende, en werden deze legenden uiteindelijk vergeten.

De Tulnar kwamen tot stand door een combinatie van de vier hoofdrassen die achtergebleven waren op Verra.

World history

Map concept art.

Sommige van de volgende informatie is niet recentelijk bevestigd door de ontwikkelaars en staat mogelijk niet op de huidige ontwikkelingsroutekaart.

The history of each server will be tracked and visible to players in a node's library.

• This design may have changed.

We're gonna keep track of the history of the world so that we can tell people the story up to the current day. A player who's brand new, who's come in at the six-month mark can take a look at each server, what each server has done, how each server has tackled the storyline; and they can decide for themselves what community they want to join; what version of the world that they want to take part in. – Jeffrey Bard

• Scribes may be able to collect and record information about the events of the world as they see it from their point of view.

Sanctus

Kaelar divine gateway concept art.

When this creation of Verra occurred, the Goddess of Fate and the Goddess of Creation were very close; and the Goddess of Fate essentially warned the Goddess of Creation- only the Goddess of Creation- that the Ancients and the Others- that they had not seen the last of them; and that there would be a time essentially when those forces would seek out and try to pervert the new creation as essentially a way to thumb their noses at the other gods in retribution for their defeat. So the Goddess of Creation created a separate planet Sanctus that she knew she could bridge with these Divine Gateways at a time when it was necessary for the descendants of Verra to escape their destruction. – Steven Sharif

Sanctus is the world where the people of Verra found their sanctuary.

• The Goddess of Creation created the planet Sanctus along with the Divine gateways to allow the descendants of Verra to escape their destruction at the hands of the The Others and The Ancients.
• Very little will be revealed about the Sanctus story arc prior to the betas.

A long long long time ago, everybody lived on a planet called Verra. Something cataclysmic happened that forced people from that world to another world called Sanctus. Verra is a place of really high magic. Sanctus is a place with no magic whatsoever. People escaped through these portals into the world of Sanctus. They had to rediscover technology, because so much of their current technology was based on magic, so they had to figure out how to interact with the world. Thousands and thousands of years go by. A long dark age passes. This history that I just told you falls into myth and legend. After this time passes, these portals reopen and the players are going to take the part of people who are coming through those portals once again back to the world of Verra to rediscover that magic, rediscover their history, and try to figure out what happened to this world to force them out of it. – Jeffrey Bard

Sanctus is a key story arc, that will likely have very little revealed about it prior to the Betas. – Steven Sharif
