Adremesis

Scope
The motivation behind building Adremesis
This world is our life's work, mine and William's, and seeing it here in a comprehensive manner will help us to understand it and build on it - but it will also allow our friends to be introduced into it easier.
Also, because it's bloody awesome.
The goal of the project
This entire thing will hopefully become a game title in the relatively-far future (I am an aspiring games developer) and this will help keep everything together.
Adremesis's Unique Selling point
This has been a passion of ours since we were very young. Making it real means more to us than other people realise. The characters are more than characters. They're like our own children, and we want to nurture and grow them to be as great as they can possibly be.
Theme
Genre
Medieval High Fantasy. Lot's of magic, (7) dragons, mysterious ancient race, an omnipotent creator of all, dark lord, an even bigger and more evil dark lord.
And, of course, Dave.
Reader Experience
We want our world to feel enchanting and wonderful, yet still brooding and tough - even for the strongest of hearts. Our characters aren't living in a world of kittens and rainbows, it isn't exactly Hell, but it can be.
Reader Tone
Following the examples, somewhere in the middle.
Generally, life is pretty peaceful. The Ancient Kingdoms fell into ruin centuries before the events of the main story but even when they were around, great wars or raging conflicts were non-existent.
Not to say that bad things don't happen, they do, but on a grand scale, there are very few events in the history of Adremesis that effected it in big way.
Recurring Themes
Townsfolk and the general world populace are generally peaceful. There will, obviously, be ne'er-do-wells in anywhere you look, justice would usually come to them. Even the great evil-doers are relatively subtle in their actions until they don't want to be. There are dungeons and deep, twisted people and all that good stuff, but little in relation to the whole story and thus unimportant.
Character Agency
The heroes (Xavier, Alric, Hawk, and Droconos) all have very powerful Souls (relatively) for various different reasons. There are few other than them who can do what they do, but they are by no means God-like or anime protagonist levels. There are many who are far more powerful than them, and they must overcome those challenges as a team.
Focus
Drama
Well, I guess all that's to speak of would be the return of the Lord of Chaos, whom has been sealed in the Void for millennia and is now ready to be break free.
The heroes need to stop it, essentially.
