2/23/2010 UpdateNorta is a legendary place of war. People of Norta are always fighting with each other. The Four (sub regions) all want total control for themselves. Each ruler has their own plans for Norta.......
Shea has been studying the four reagions for years. Even though the penalty for contacting the Gods is death. He secretly learned the anceint art of contacting them. Most notably is Augh'Undo, the God of Air. This God has been tutoring Shea in an ancient art, that was forgotten. Thanks to Augh'Undo, Shea was able to understand what each region wanted.
Before he was able to get help others in the other regions started research on their own. Each sub-region was able to contact other Gods:
Omina (Om-na) - God of Fire - Contacted by the Desert Region
Etzleg (Its-lag) - God of Water - Contacted by the Golf Region
Corin (Cor-in) - God of Earth - Contacted by the Pine Region
Augh'Undo (Argh-oondo) - God of Air - Contacted by the Rockies Region
When Shea learned of this he started to get into contact with them to see if they all had the same goals. Thanks to Shea a resistance was born. The resistance started up a rebellion from this constant war. They would attack all sides. This resistance grew and grew. Eventually they over came the rulers and a time of peace has started over Norta.
Unknowing to the resistance the former rulers started to learn how to talk to the Gods as well. But this time the Gods where the evil counterparts of those the Resistance learned from.
Races:
Human: Once out populated by the Elves, they are now the dominant race. During the 2,000 years of battles and wars, humans made alliances among each other. Although the alliances never lasted more than one battle, they were able to drive back the Elves to the point where they could only defend their home land. After the Elven people stopped attacking and started to defend their region, the humans started to focus on each other.
Elves: Once the dominant race of Norta, now only a handful remain. Thanks to the 2,000 years of battles and wars. The Elven people are now sacluded deep into the Pine region of Norta. Many humans have forgotten about these creatures that are only in the stories about the wars, and battles that happened in the past.
Classes:
Warrior: Battle hardened. Doesn't know anything about magic. They rely on their strength and their knowledge of weapons. Warriors use a combination of swords, knifes, bows, and crossbows. Their skill/MP usage is used towards bulking up and hitting harder and for cheers that will increase allies HP/MP and Attacks.
Ranger: Skillful with animals and nature. Uses the elements to attack. Rangers have the ability to charm animals into being allies. They use bows and crossbows. Their skill/MP usage is used towards charming animals, calling forth elemental beings to be allies. Rangers are limited to Elves only.
