Hello. My name is alexander23 and i had the pleasure of gaming master of the galaxy I, III and IV. I too created shattered earth ( a short lived yet fun game), and Guns and Sorcery: forward unto tomorrowland which ended...in nuclear apocalypse. If you have played in any of these games you will immediately recognize that all this games are nations sim, which by now are my speciality, or so i like to think. Now you question maybe what kind of fun and interesting nation sim will you presenting us now? And it would be the wrong question!
Me and the insane Sneakyflaps have developed a new game for everyone pleasure. Phoenix reign: The Crown of Temeria will be a different approach from what i normally have done, instead of a nation sim and you being the leader of it, PRCT will be a game in which all players are in the same kingdom, the Kingdom of Temeria. This can be called a spiritual successor to SneakyFlaps The Lion's Throne.
As at it stands, the game will be host to nine major noble families each with their own patch of land and forces, for whom players can sign up to be.However you don't have to be one of them , you can sign in as anything you want, a priest, a merchant, a poor thief, a independant monster hunter, part of the witch hunters the knights of the piercing light and whatever you fancy!!.
If all the major families are full and you still want to be a noble (or you just don't want to be major) you can sign as a minor noble under someone, a landed knight, a small baron etc.
Historical Background of the Kingdom of Temeria:
The Kingdom of Temeria, once upon a time was a small state fearful of the ire of its neighbors, that was until the great king Lemid “the conqueror” Krystiva ascended to the throne. A master tactician, Lemid lead the warrior people of Temeria in a series of rapid expansion and conquest of its smaller neighbors, dying in battle with a long lost kingdom he was succeeded by his equally able son. In this way a line of great kings lead the nation from it humbles beginning to become a major power of the region, it had troubles of course and defeats, yet in the end it always prevailed.
In just a few centuries the kingdom amassed people from a wide range of cultures and varied religions, no one thought those times would end, until the assassination of Henry IV, leaving no heir the throne. Two decades of civil strife and claimants followed weakening the once proud nation. It was near the end of the strife that the recently founded Saltherian Dynasty stroke close some eighty years ago and in a ten year long war managed to decisively defeat the royal forces killing king Richard III in the battlefield and forcing the entire east march from our hands, Tens if not hundred of thousands ran away and settled as they could somewhere else in the kingdom begins confrontation and two long decades of rebellions, infighting and civil war between the cultures and people.
Kasev “the uniter” managed to stop the wars and keep the peace for fifteen years until his assassination at the hands of a follower of the Church of the Everyday man, for his alleged sorceress concubine, his son Manrak “The Sword” was enraged and swore vengeance, by his royal decreed the Church of the Everyday man was no longer permitted and all must convert from it or be executed. At that time close to 10% of the population followed Church of the Everyday man inside the kingdom with many more outside, this started a era of religious strife inside the kingdom and the world at large as the Church of Itherya put its weight behind the new king.
Fighting erupted all over the Free cities, the Kingdom of Valenor and the Kingdom of Temeria with thousands dying over the next twenty years of war. In the end as many of the other small religions were dragged to conflict they were destroyed, ending in the consolidation of the Church of Itherya and the Church of the Everyday man as the two main religions of the civilized world outside the empire. Peace was achieved thanks to Rashmud “the lover”, for him managed to achieve a peace agreement between the religious leaders as well as teh rumors say had over one hundred lovers.
His reign however would be tainted by an affair with the wife of the duke of Kolche a proud and arrogant man, which by a series of events devolved into a rebellion and then the breaking away of the duchy by the defeat of the Kingdom of Temeria army by the combined forces of the duchy of kolchea and the Kingdom of Valenor, In which much of the high nobility was killed. The peace left the formation of the Principality of Kolche
At last however peace returned and for the next two decades Rasmud reigned yet he gave no heir to the throne. Now he lays death, with only a daughter, a bastard and no officially designed heir for the throne, as many whispered he had a dislike for his daughter. Now Everybody once more holds their breath as the time of strife, death, war, and blood are in the air.
