DescriptionOver one thousand years ago, a race of angelic people facing extinction forged an empire through blood and conquest. The pattern of kingdoms and republics dominated by a single race was broken when the Allerian Empire was proclaimed and offered peoples of diverse backgrounds and species the opportunity to embark on bold adventures, seek out lost treasures and find prosperity in a land of magic and mystery. Yet with opportunity and power came the prospect of corruption and darkness, and it was in this capacity that the empire began to feel the strain of its overwhelming size. Today, adventurers and citizens alike vie for prominence both inside and outside of the Allerian Empire, interacting in a landscape dotted with castles and thriving cities, plagued by monsters and brigands, colored by spellcraft and gods, and plunged into political intrigue. The Allerian Empire is situated on the eastern half of the Medonian Continent on the world of Telath, the ninth planet in a three-sun star system. Within its borders, Allerian citizens enjoy climates ranging from the serene enchanted forests of Lauryl and Centripax, to the rolling mysterious meadow of Enamoria; from the sun-scorched deserts of Arakmat, to the frozen tundra of Carmelyn and Arium. Isles basking in the cool Eunesian sea contrasts with the rugged landscape of the Sherian Peninsula, and at the heart of the empire is the eternal city of Alleria Prime. With fantastical creatures varying from the humorous to the perilous, Alleria boasts flora and fauna of diverse origins, and this same diversity plays out perpetually in the intermingling of numerous races within the melting pot of medieval society, as tensions still remain high. As the player of one of the epic characters caught amidst a whirlwind of change and excitement, you enter the Allerian Empire in an age of change wherein the isolation once enjoyed by the Allerian adventurers can no longer be sustained as the gods have begun to walk among mortals, foreign powers have begun to interfere with the localities, and the discovery of new societies with newer magic and technology are rapidly redefining the rules of engagement. In the Allerian Empire, you play the role of a character that you define and create. Players interact over message forums using the medium of text in writing expressive prose to describe how their characters think, feel and act. Interacting with fellow characters and an environment controlled by dedicated storytellers, a broader story emerges that outlines your character's experiences within the Allerian Empire. Players control the actions of their characters, whereas Game Masters and other story moderators determine the reactions and results of these actions. Unlike all other role playing games, Alleria uses no dice and statistics tables, believing that luck should be replaced by imagination and creativity. In the end, Alleria hosts an active community of fantasy authors and role-playing enthusiasts from around the world continuing in a tradition that has spanned over a decade.
