The flames destroyed her home, soldiers murdered her family and it left her and her young brother, orphaned. Her grandfather arrived to find that the town destroyed and took his grandchild into the mountains to live. There she grew up, confused, angry and over the time, her grandfather told her about the threats that faced the leader 'golden families' and the one who attacked the town. Ailena grew angy, bitter and vowed revenge, as her grandfather tried to temper her with justice, the way of the warrior and the path of honor. As her brother took the path that abstained from war and fighting, even her grandfather tried to correct him, but the memories of the flames were too strong in his mind. A struggle goes on in Ailena's mind and heart, justice or revenge for her suffering... what will she chose?


The flames of war between the clans has never occurred, not in all the written history of the Empire, only now, General Li raises an army to do just that. He is the bastard son of the Lord of Clan Li, and has only obtained the rank of Noble, because of his birth mother and the circumstances of his own birth. He seeks to destroy the other clans, so that he may take claim to the throne of the Empire for himself. This is only a theory of what he has planned and isn't quite known why he has this planned.


Hidden ancient evils, fallen hero to ruins, caverns and searching the land trying to stop the Li clan from destroying the very fabric of Crusikan society for his own personal gain. Ailena must decide between revenge or justice as she seeks to protect the Empire, and hope to bring a new level of understanding of honor back to the world. Rebuild her home town, seek peace treaties with the other clans and find your place within the world. Do you chose to help that young girl being sold as a sex worker? Or do you ignore her pleas? Do you help the orphaned child in the woods with no family?? Or ignore him? The line you don't chose what happens to you, but you can chose what sort of person that you ultimately become.

Ailena Vye


Age: 20 years old


Clan: High born Clan Vye from the city of Divian


Family: Adan (Grandfather) and brother, Eriken


Pet: Cat, Chea
Description: She has red hair and the eyes of the clan founder, Vye, which is a bluish green eye color.


Biography: Ailena was a young girl when the flames consumed her city and destroyed everything that she held dear from her stuffed animal collection, her pet cat, Nika, her friends and family. She was only one of two survivors, the other was her young brother, whom she held in her arms to make him feel safe. As the fire burned to embers, there was a noise outside of the tree truck and a hand reached into the tree. Ailena stuck the best a young girl could at the time, only to discover that it was her grandfather. He took them into the mountains, nearby a group of Fhalian clansmen and raised them to be honorable in the ways of the sword. Ailena has struggled between seeking revenge or having a peaceful life.


She is a young woman with a strong desire, determination, opinions and is more than willing to fight for what she believes is right. At many times, she is strong and has no heart ache, but other times, she cries for the loss that she has endured. She struggles between destruction and creation, revenge or justice and isn't sure at times which part of her shattered heart to follow. There is a darkness that is slowly growing within her and she lashed out when stressed or angry.


Eriken Vye


Age: 17 years old


Description: He has blonde hair and brown eyes, like his sister, who is related to the clan founder, Vye, He wears clothes of his order, abstains from violence and only speaks about peace. Even so, he can occasionally lash out, but quickly apologizes for his behavior.


He was only three years old when his village was burned to the ground and they found themselves orphaned. But due to the rarity of being an orphan, there was nothing in place to deal with the subject. They were taken in by their grandfather, who took them into the mountains and raised them. While his sister took to the Vye training, he withdrew and seemingly rejected it altogether.

Age: 18 years old
Description/personality: Eliren is a young man with short brown hair, and blue green eyes, he is known for his short fuse. He has strong powers that resides within him, and the only clue to his parentage is a amulet that he wears around his neck.

NOTE: Some of the important characters are not finished, but this will be updated in the future when the characters are finished.


Lord of Clan Vye –


Terlayne – The God of time, the sandwich god, the myserious wonder and goes by many other name. He has been known to intervene from time to time, as it is uncertain which side he will take, and his magic is strange.


Eyan – The Goddess of Destiny, Queen (mother) of all the Gods and known as “She whose voice booms” and the mace that she threatens to hit people with. It is unknown what form that she will take, because unlike her husband, she is reborn from time to time (unknown amount of time) and she might appear in a child phase, teenage, young adult, or adult.

Yevin – This is title for the throne of the Empire, only no one has sat on it for a great deal of time. No one is certain why, it is believed that it was caused by fighting within the high born clans.


Kisar – This term is the same as King in our language, they are the high born clans, but the leader of the clan isn't necessarily the leader of the land. There is an election, not within the clan land, but rather the state, itself. Each member has an equal say, but only a member of the high born clan can run for this office.


Counsel – This is the elected body of Crusika, who passes the law and works with the Yevin, who leads the nations and keeps the peace on Crusika. It was original elected by citizens in the area, but there has been no counsel for some time.


Commander – The leader of the armed forces of Crusika, the second most powerful person in the Empire and must be strong in spirit, will and determination. The commander of the Empire is housed in the fortress, now, made up of a single clan, Sky. This clan is fierce and dedicated to peace, reforming the empire, but no one knows their loyalty.


Near Immortal – A near immortal is someone who does not grow old, weak or frail, and lives for long periods of time, as long as they are not blow up instantly. If they are merely nicked or cut, it will heal almost instantly, with a couple of exceptions. The weapons of the Gods has the ability to kill anyone, including the near immortals and it is why they are kept in the Tempe Square.


The temple Square, each of the Gods has a holy temple in this place and the relics of the past are stored here. There is, also, a catacombs of the past underneath, but it was sealed away ages ago, with no clue where it is. This place sits at the bottom of the most holiest of mountains, home of the Dragon Clan and the children of the Dragon Goddess.


The Great Library – A building with the wisdom of the ancients in it, while many of the documents are unreadable (language difference), many are still very readable. The books and scrolls were printed on a special paper that will never fall apart or the ink will never fade due to time. There are many words and letters from the various Gods, leaders and teachers, including the History Clan.


History Clan – A scared order that you must be born into, who are connected to the Goddess of Destiny or Fate's (line of fate) and writes down the truth of history. They are forbidden from leaving the island and if they do leave the island, they are forbidden from ever entering the holy temple ever again. Those that do leave and come back, they never tell their children what they saw on the outside to give their children a choice of their life.


The Field – A hidden place in houses that the people who have lived a really long time go to before they decide to give up their spirit. It is believed to be based on a sacred place in the underground that was founded soon after the Crusikans arrived, but it hasn't been found.


God weapons – There is two powers held within the God weapons, the power that only the God or Goddess can use and the power that heroes called upon the Gods can use. The weapons are connected to the God and are sentient in ways that only the Gods know. The sword of Salin (the God of War) is a sword mentioned in history over the years by many names, while the Syrana, the Goddess of Dragons it depends on the avatar's personality which form that it will take.


Utesa – Many Crusikans suffer from this, as a result, they head into the woods on a yearly basis and spend time in the woods hunting. The clan with the highest level is, Clan Vye, but the one with the lowest is Clan Veha. While Clan Veha is more calculating, Clan Vye is more ruthless and to the point more than Clan Veha. It is one of the reasons that Clan Vye trains from birth to control themselves and how to practice the ancient way of the sword.


Biological differences: The biggest difference between Crusikans and humans deal with magic or powers, which is done through an organ and has a blood like substance. This substance is fueled by food, which means many of the poorer Crusikans do not have access to their abilities, but unlike humans do not die as a result. Another difference is that Crusikan children age at a much slower rate and thus are children for a long period of time. A ten year old Crusikan child is far older than his human counter part.


Hero of Crusia/Heroine of Fhalia – Before the time of the great unification, there was a war between Fhalia and Crusia and the hero of Cruisa battled with the Heroine of Fhalia. During the time just in between the time of Crusia/Fhalia and Crusika, the two made peace and decided to join forces rather than fight. They are reincarnated from time to time, each born with a special mark on various parts of their bodies. No one understands the process of reincarnation and why the person is so radically different than the last one.


Class: In the Crusikan society, each person is born with a class and that class determines your status in society and there is only one class that you can not marry into, 'the golden family'. The Golden family are the six high born clans (with the History Clan, choosing not to take the throne), Noble, Peasant, Shadow, and Exile (called no birth). You are not limited to your status that you are born into, but the highest you can get to is 'NOBLE', by marriage or gaining your own title.


Clan Vye: The Warrior clan and protector of the throne of the Empire, not the leader. Clan Vye are known for their connection to the dark arts (name and explain), and their tactical intelligence, including their high blood lust (Utesa)


Clan Li: Strangely enough, the clan of law and order


Clan Crus: A Fhalian tribe known for its grace and elegant family, full of compassion and social, welfare programs for their citizens. They are well loved by all the minor, no clan members, and nobles who live in the land.


Clan Veha: A bitter feud between the two has lasted for ages, but they are known for their cunning members, speed and tactical thinking. This is what makes them excellent leaders, only second to Clan Vye.


Clan Historia – No one knows the true name of this clan, but they are royal and protected by the laws dedicated to clan feuds. As a matter of fact, they are the only high born clan that has NEVER fought in a clan war, mostly due to the fact that they are so well taught in TRUE history of Crusika. It is believed that the scholars of the clan Historia know things that no other people know, but the truth is that they do not understand it any more than anyone else.


Clan Eli – The clan that not many people know anything about, not warriors like Vye, tactical thinking like Veha, law like Li, compassion and grace like Crus, or history like Historia, but rather dedicated to magic and the study of the Crusikan powers.

Features: I am in the middle of planning features for my game, as I do not like the old WRPG way of doing this, nor points systems of today and JRPGs is a cheap co-out. Some of these features are currently in the planning stage, but here are some things I'd love to incorporate into the game.


Guild – The ability to chose a guild, earn money and get more involved in the world around you. I don't want to overload the game with guild choices, so I haven't decided what kind of guilds would be available.


Rebuilding your town – from rebuilding it, to finding other survivors and bringing them home.



Optional SUB-Quest: The temple of time is an maze outside of time, itself and it is said that you can disappear, meet other people from other time periods, and holds the most sacred stuff that the Gods own. I am not certain if I am going to make this Temple available to explore or make it, a single game on its own. I may or I may not, but it would holds lots of information, some of which you

Crusia, it is written upon the ancient scrolls of our ancestors was a place torn apart by war, greed and chaos, with little regard to life or the Gods. The people cried out to the Gods and the Gods saw their children weeping out. They took them from the depths of despair and into the new world. This is the legend of Crusia and it is written that there is still a clan of people who follow the Gods called “Earthvi” or a term that came to mean foolish or naive.


The Crusikans come from a planet called Crusia, a fact that they credit to the Gods and it has long been lost how they came to arrive at the planet. There was a brief conflict with a race of dragons, but the war has long been over. They hold two people in high honor, the first Yevin and his wife, who were children of the Gods known as the Hero of Crusia and the Heroine of Fhallia, but their capital city has long been lost. There are five families known as the Golden family, who rule the lands and keep the peace between the others, with rare exceptions of clan warfare.


Book of Tradition is a sacred document that many hold in high esteem, it holds their laws of their lands, the traditions that they hold sacred and while most of it is required to be obeyed, there is some of it, that is optional. The Crusikans have a long tradition of respecting, worshiping the Gods. But as long as you are an honorable person, who obeys the oath between Crusikans and the Gods, the Gods do not care if you worship them or not. This document is said to have been written by the first Yevin and his wife, Andana.


Not much is known about the old world, but Darus and Andana lead the young Crusians to the new world. They called it, Crusika or New Crusia in honor of the people that they left behind.


Current history:


The capital was founded by Darus and Andana, who were the last Hero/Heroine and founded the capital of the Empire as a whole. The city was a beautiful city, but when the Hero/Heroine went back to the realm of the Gods, when fighting started to occur between the five clans and the city was attacked several times. It was soon abandoned by people, rejecting the wars and heading back to the lands of their clans and for the last hundred years of the city's life, it was ruled by a weak leader. The last leader was Yevin in name only, and was destroyed by a rebel group seeking to control the throne. After the defeat of the rebels, who were executed, the people lost track of the capital city and no one stepped up to claim the throne. The throne remained empty of over a thousand years, much of which numerous wars were fought and the people suffered greatly. It was due to the actions of two rivals, Veha and Vye, who sought the throne that lit the fires in the high born clans.

*The first town, it has changed a bit... The crops to the south is now a place for horses and such. I've added a couple of wagons and have started placing characters.*


*The Baron's castle, please note that the court yard garden has become more organized and more castle like rather than the mess it looks like now.*
