"Welcome, travelers from the Old World… and beware!"
You are about to step into New Arc, a city where the arcane and the mechanical don't simply coexist but, in fact, clash in an epic struggle for supremacy; two titans on the edge of a cliff, each trying with all their might to throw the other off. A precarious balance that could be toppled by even a small push from an unexpected direction. Every nook and cranny whispers secrets here, and every step you take could either drown you in trouble or shower you in gold.
Magic vs Mechanics: When Worlds Collide
Forget everything you thought you knew about magic — in New Arc, it's not just a bunch of spells, cantrips and incantations. Here, magic is a faith, a bona fide religion with various branches and sects, each vying to pull you into their embrace. And the technologies? These range from billowing steam engines to bone-shaking electromagnetic gadgets. It will be up to you to select which you master, how you use them to change the world around you, and which side you join. Will you endeavor to make New Arc a technologists' utopia or help the magic users reshape it into a haven for the arcane arts?
New Arc: A Small Part of a Bigger Picture
Beyond the confines of New Arc, other cities and regions await, scattered across the continent of the New World. Journey through biomes ranging from enigmatic, fog-covered swamps to expansive prairies trodden by cowboys and gunslingers. Delve into mysterious crevasses where daylight doesn't reach, or scale the snow-capped mountain peaks where the echo of icy winds guard ancient legends. Explore underground labyrinths and celestial cities; every corner of the continent contains secrets, mysteries, and dangers.
The Spectrum of Life
Our world teems with races, each with its unique characteristics, cultures, and quirks. Numerous and diverse, from the prolific dwarves to pixies suffocating in the pollution of industrial cities. Take the elves, for instance: forget the stereotypical forest-dwelling, bow-wielding culture… the elven people of New Arc are the eldest of races, from which all others are descended. Though in decline after the collapse of their ancient empire, they chose not to fade silently into the night nor to take vengeance on the younger races. Instead, they focus on communicating with their ancestors in voodoo-like magical rites and restoring the foundations of their culture. Perhaps more than others, they are torn between progressive ideals and established traditions.
Of Sea Monsters and Politicians
Traveling through the New World, you'll face not just trolls, gigantic kraken, or dragons guarding their hoards, but you'll also get swept into the whirlpool of political intrigue. Elections here are not just a game of musical chairs but a battle of minds and ideals, where magic and technology become but pieces on the board of a grand game.
