Fantasy Craft Five

From Sphere
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Fantasy Craft Five is a project IRC game being run by Five on #lords IRC using the Fantasy Craft Game system. Players are a small band of adventurers, soldiers, and other layabouts who have been hired or coerced into performing a simple courier job in the city of Alishkecht, a bustling city state. Despite the apparent ease of such a job, they will quickly find themselves drawn into a calamity that will decide the very fate of Hyerunea.

The style of the game is a mixture of things the DM likes such as Heroic Fantasy and Swords&Sorcery with themes that would not be out of place in Berserk or some sort of hypothetical manga about a busty demon queen and a hero talking about things like ECONOMICS or AGRICULTURE. The Player Characters start off slightly weak due to being Level 1, but will have multiple chances to make their name in the world of Hyerunea. Hyerunea is a world that is in need of able young men and women who will, if they have what it takes, become heroes of legend.

About Hyerunea

Alignments and Gods

The Holy Church of Utosan

The Holy Church of Utosan is the dominant religion among the humans of Hyerunea. Loosely based on the Catholic Church, the Utosani Church was, and still is, one of the dominant political and social forces on Hyerunea. The Holy Church of Utosan worships Highest-Blessed Almaran as its creator figure and head of the pantheon; while his wife Harmonious Falling Blossoms Delkira is both the Godess of War and the Goddess of Motherhood. Their son Never-Faltering Mikonatos is the God of Heroes, the patron of able bodied men and women who seek to do good everywhere. Sturdy-Armed Midola is Mikonatos' loyal wife and equal; she is the Goddess of Marriage and the Forge.

Highest-Blessed Almaran, the All Father

Highest-Blessed Almaran is the highest deity in the Hyerunean pantheon, and along with his wife Harmonious Falling Blossoms Delkira, makes up one half of the Hyerunean creation myth. Almaran is most commonly worshiped by the monolithic Holy Church of Utosan(which also worships his wife Delkira and his son Mikonatos). The Utosan church is led by a pope, and has various cardinals and bishops.
