Times of War

[twina]

Fellow Homins. I am a full blooded Homin. My father was a lake man from Tryker, my mother a peaceful women spending time in the forests of Matis.

As a babe I was taken from my homeland of Atys by my mother. She feared for my life with the constant battles against the Kitins and the wars between the Kami and Karavan that are stripping Atys of its magic and soul. My father stayed on to battle and sadly I have never heard from him since.

From old scripts and lore passed on by my mother I discovered fragments of information about my homeland and indeed the problems bewteen two major entities - the Kami and the Karavan.

From studying I have come to 3 conclusions that will bring peace to a war torn land:

1)Utter and complete destruction of the Kami
2)Utter and complete destruction of the Karavan
3)A neautrality and balance of harmony where the two entities can co-exist.

My conceptions of these three alternatives is that one thing remains predominant in my mind and that is - the only way to find peace is sadly through war.

I have prepared for such a thing for many a year. I knew once I came of age I could leave my foreign land and return to where I belong - and maybe, just maybe, find my father. He exists in my mind as a great warrior - I hold to it that he fights for justice and peace.

Alas, I have come of age and left for the lands of Atys. A pilgrimage frought with dangers. Upon visiting Silan - my firsts steps to Atys I encountered many new and foreign peoples and hidious and dangerous creatures. Learning several crafts over a short time period I spoke to someone who spoke about the home of Atys - the mainland. He spoke of the wonderous forests of Matis, the burning desterts of Fyros, the never ending Jungles of the Zorias and of course - the peaceful lake folk of Tryker. He also whispered of other lands within Atys - deep, dark, hidden and full of dangers.

Instantly my heart pounded and I became aware that this was it - this was the moment I have awaited all my life - I will finaly be going home, to a world unkown to me.

I have always held and believed in a code - three elements of a person to be the most important - Honour, Courage and Loyalty. Whatever path I choose to walk - whether it be Kami, Karavan or a stance of neutrality - I will walk that path with this code. And know this, any who call me friend, I will walk into the very fires of Jena with them - until the very end.

I look forward to forging very strong friendships throughout Atys - for this is the promised land - this is My land. And with my new found friendships we will create stories and histories which in turn, will become legends of Atys.

3)A neautrality and balance of harmony where the two entities can co-exist.

We live, prosper and can call Atys our home thanks to these two entities working together to drive the kitin back to the roots where they came from. Hence I believe this is the only viable option.

That said, you will find homins of all 3 beliefs and thus you probably won't find your stay boring

Welcome to our giant rootball!

There is another alternative that can be considered:

4) All homins coalition against both factions, putting both kami and karavan aliens out of Atys.

Welcome! was a nice read ... Hope you enjoy your stay here... Andhope to seeya ingame at some point

putting both kami and karavan aliens out of Atys.

Ehh, actually the Kami are Atys itself. Well, in a way they're also aliens (Atys wasn't always Atys), but using the same way of thinking would mean that Homins are aliens too. Let's just throw everyone out of the planet then, eh? Or just reduce Atys to nothing more than a rock.

Both Kami and Karavan Gods claim to be the creator of Atys, but still there are many mysteries about the Origins, so who knows. I just pointed the fact that there is a 4th alternative and the lore could move accordingly.

Spires was something that would move the story towards an increase of the faction war, pointing more on 1) or 2). And 1) and 2) both means one of the factions out of Atys, so why not both?

NB: About Spires, i never seen in a MMO an idea that, to add more PvP, reduces PvE content.

Both Kami and Karavan Gods claim to be the creator of Atys,

And they both are, just in a different way. But eventually, who created Atys doesn't really matter. Their intentions of the future are what matters. One of them wants to exploit and destroy, one of them wants to grow and expand, both of them simply want their species to survive.

Best solution = Everyone starts worshipping the God of War, Sun Ce.
And together we fight and wage a war against all the oppressors of freedom (those who oppress me and my will). And we kill them all in several bloody battles.




Welcome to the mainland.

There shall never be true peace on atys, even if one of your three theories were to become true. there is always the threat of the Kitin, the dragon and many other mysteries that homins dare not dream about.

Peace amongst homins would only be the start of it, the start of a so very long process.

(and welcome to the mainland! )
