Scope

The motivation behind building Aegimius

The initial purpose of Aegimius was to have a world made for how we wanted to play roleplaying games. That being said it's turned into much more then that. Aegimius is an opportunity for me to have a place for my stories and art to exist in tandem.

The goal of the project

I hope to have a world full of wonder, magic, invention, and mystery. A world that is built wtih ideas and interests from my kids and my friends, in addition to myself.

Aegimius's Unique Selling point

Ageimius is all about exploring things in different ways. I like to take the ideas that I or someone else has about something and look at it differently. For example: Goliath's are generally seen as nomadic, and being from mountainous regions. What if they were fishers? What if humans were looked down on for generations and were denied access to higher magical learnings? How would their societys flourish?

Theme

Genre

My genre is high/Dark fantasy, with science being long forgotten, and currently being rediscovered. Humans are at the forfront of current technological knowledge, and other races are now forced to turn to them after denying them magic for the last 1100 years. While on For Storia the landscape, previously raveged by wars between gods, and then amoungst the mortals, is slowly being taken over by a vicious dictator, forcing the people capable of stopping them away.

Reader Experience

The world feels mystical, strong magical vibes, with danger lurking beneath. Things aren't always what they seem. There are mysterious of the past which still highly impact the day to day of life in the system.

Reader Tone

Using the Tone and Setting Alignment Chart from Icastbolt, the tone of Aegimius is somewhere in the Graycore range, with touches in the dim and glow areas.

  • Preconceptions about various races are common, but as always things aren't necessarily what they seem.

Character Agency

The characters have the ability to drastically change the landscape of the world, or at least the part of the world they find themselves in. The changes might not always be good, but they will happen.

Focus

Magic and Technology: With the discovery of ancient technology, and the use of magic in it, the races are required to come together, to learn how to integrate the magical advances with their technological past.
Race Relations: Having been at odds with the rest of the world for something no one rembers, Humans now have to come to turns with the rest of society looking down on them. Only for them to now be needed by the rest of society to better understand this technology that has recently be found.

Drama

30 years ago ancient technology sprang back to life across Milleadh, bringing humans back into the limelight.
Tensions are rising on For Storia as magic has been lost on Fika, and plans are being made to overthrow the current powers that be.
