Overview
Dark Realm is a fantasy PBeM set on the mythical world of my own creation, Rynn. Dark
Realm is freeform, so all characters are 100% stat free and based solely on imagination and
creativity. All players must be highly creative and in the mood for a potentially long lasting
PBeM. The ability to write well is also appreciated. For more technical info on the game check
out the rules section of this site.
Characters will be members of any PC race, ready to be thrown into a group of strangers united
with the power to stop the war. Whether they do or not is up to them. For information on
character creation visit the join section.
A Brief Background
For centuries, the many races of Rynn have maintained an uneasy peace. Old hatred was never
forgotten, but kept under control. Now, like a coming storm, the hatred has resurfaced. Rynn
stands on the brink of war once again.
Reports have come to the humans that the lizardmen have prepared troops to march on Lomin,
a small human outpost. In response, the human king, King Stewart, orders troops to the border
of the Lizardmen territory. Old alliances are reformed, and before long the Elves, Dark Elves,
Dwarves, and Goblins have chosen sides. War will come. No one knows why the Lizardmen
would suddenly strike, or if the reports were even accurate. It matters little now.
You find yourself, for whatever reason, suddenly joined up with a mismatched group of allies
and enemies. Your group must learn to work together and maybe even save the world.
History
Centuries before, Rynn was again at war. This war, often called The War of Blood was no
small affair. The War of Blood cost Rynn over half its population, and the loss of life is said to
be the only reason the war stopped. The war torn people of Rynn felt the war for many years
to follow. To make matters worse, the trolls had been the only race not to be involved in the
war, and found the broken races easy prey. It took generations to rebuild a once prosperous
society. The scars began to heal, but could never truly vanish. Something was wrong with
Rynn. During the war, The Draca, a race of powerful wizards, left Rynn, disgusted by the war.
Without the Draca's powerful magic, the other races suffered greatly. Even today, the other
races still suffer.
Races
The following are the dominant races of Rynn. OK, I know I said no stats. Opps, I lied. Actually, these aren't stats, just numbers to help
compare basics. IQ and magic are averages for a particular species, not carved in stone. All
numbers are based on a scale of 1-6. Stared races are PC races and are available to
play.
