​

     Novus is a world that was torn asunder due to a powerful magical energy storm over a century ago.  The world was ruled by humankind, the race that had eradicated almost every other race on Novus out of fear and mistrust towards the Elves, Dwarves, Reptilians, and Oxen.
      Since the Maelstrom the humans have developed supernatural skills they are still learning how to master.  Some call it Wizardry, the religious followers believe their newfound skills are due to their Goddess, Aura, who endows them with magical wards, and the ability to overpower the undead.  Alchemists have discovered how to imbue liquids with the magical energies from the air.  Blacksmiths have begun forging unique weapons with devastating power, and even reclusive hermits have discovered ways to use the new found energy to commune with animals.
      Across the land the dead rise due to the residual storm magic that permeates the air, terrorizing the unsuspecting in their mindless quest for destruction.  Some humankind and animals have suffered deformations over the course of time, creating new races of creatures the people of Novus have never seen before.  Goblinoids, strangely enhanced animals, and terrifying monstrosities now roam the land.
      The Maelstrom’s magic even created powerful beings that few people have seen firsthand and survived, such as dragons and demons.  The major cities of the world have been searching for people with the ability to defeat the creatures before it is too late.
      You will take on the role of one of those heroes.  Each hero has their own special abilities, equipment restrictions, and roles in which they can advance to in their journey.
