Are you Sharded?
Sharded is a Dark Epic Fantasy. It takes place in the world of Gurn. The
world has been shattered in a cataclysm and there is no civilization left. The
world that is left is a very dangerous place indeed. Essence Eaters abound and
nothing but misery and death await most.
But there are a few on which all of the fate of Gurn rests on. People have
started to stand up. There are rumors of people who will fall in battle only to
rise again to threaten all the tides of darkness that attempt to swallow up all
those that stand before them. The tales of their abilities and might seem impossible.....
Are you one of those? Are you headed for the only place of where people can
be "safe" at least from the undead during the day. The place called
"Hope" To make a stand and beat back the tide and once again reclaim
Gurn for the living races and take it back acre by acre from the undead hordes
that now inhabit everywhere.
The question really is are your truly Sharded? And more importantly will it
be enough to stem the tides.
"The Celestial Celebration"
Jan. 27-29th event teaser
The time of year has once again come to celebrate those that still live and walk the lands of Gurn. It is a time of giving thanks and celebrating that precious gift of life that is so easily taken.
Late in the evening darkness settles over the land. It is almost like a cloak and it covers the all in a blanket. All the beings seem to be affected. You can see beings with eyes glowing of yellow and red slowing and settling down as the blanket of dark passes over them as they slump to the ground. The animals deep within their burrow fall into a deeper sleep as the blanket touches them. And even around Hope the people all sleep deep sleeps and a rest and a peace touches them even if for but a moment. The stars themselves seem to blink in rhythm and it is almost as if Gurn herself lets out her held breath of a long hard year….
The next morning when you awake, you step out into the bitter cold and smell the beginnings of a new day. Not only is it a new day but a new year and maybe a new beginning. You see the semi orange glow of a beautiful sunrise start to take hold over the lake and you draw in the bitter cold air and as its bite fills your lungs you are reminded at how alive you feel. It is a time to celebrate the upcoming year in merriment and mirth!
A waft of air reaches you with a smell of sulfur and you turn just in time as you see a fire elemental rifting in and it begins to try and burn everything in its path. You smile and remind yourself there will be plenty of time for celebrating, well that is if you can live to that point. The celestial celebration comes with peace but also lots of elementals and massive waves of magic that seek to wash away all that is before them. With your gift and your food in hand you quickly sidestep the elemental and head toward the tavern full of people laughing and getting ready to survive the waves and elementals, and enjoy the feast and the gift exchange. One more year in Hope is about to begin. And you will stand up for civilization and not ever give up the hope of a better day and it all begins today. A new day indeed!
