In the world of Aloria, where elemental nations vie for dominance and magic flows through every living thing, the balance of fate is unraveling. The Helaphant gate, a mythical force of both salvation and destruction, looms as the tapestry of destiny begins to fray. Wanderers, mortals with no threads of fate, are drawn to the mysterious gates, where each step alters the course of history.
Amid the chaos of war, Avalon’s ruthless armies scorch the lands, while micro nations rise with unique magics in a desperate bid to resist. Tapestry Walkers, gifted with glimpses of destiny but unable to change it, must guide these fate-less wanderers through impossible choices. Yet, a malevolent force works in the shadows, using the gates to weave chaos into Aloria’s fragile world.
As alliances fracture and enemies unite, every decision carries a cost. Will the wanderers mend the broken tapestry and bring balance to a world on the brink, or will their journey doom Aloria to eternal conflict? In a tale of sacrifice, discovery, and the delicate dance between fate and free will. Do the gates hold the key and is unlocking them a wise choice.
The world of Aloria is a land rich in history, myth, and conflict, with a deep connection to both magic and martial prowess. Stretching across a vast expanse, Aloria is divided into five major regions, each with its unique characteristics, cultures, and people. At its heart, however, the world is defined by the clash of civilizations, the balance of power between the tribes, and the impact of ancient forces, all of which shape the destiny of its inhabitants.
Era of Empires
The tribes of Aloria, having developed over centuries, find themselves on the brink of unification and destruction. Avalon, a once proud kingdom, has started a war against the tribes, and while they may seem unbeatable, the alliances between the tribes have become strong. Gearford, a legendary strategist and commander, rose to lead the Northern Guard after their decimation by Avalon, hoping to bring stability and leadership to his people once more. However, despite the rise of leaders like Gearford chaos and potential doom continue to appear.
The tribes are united, but they still fight to protect their lands, preserve their cultures, and ensure their survival. They seek to coexist but are forced into combat to defend their way of life from the advancing forces of Avalon and the unpredictable threats.
The Avalon war ends with the withdraw of their forces; was it the work of the alliance and Gearford or did some other hand play a role in this tapestry of fate. Regardless of what happened, the end of the Era of Empires was ushered in, and new trials and tribulations were set in motion as the world moves forward into the unknown.
The Gates and the Fate-less Ones
Mysterious gates began appearing throughout Aloria thousands of years ago when the Era of Conflict began (starting right after the Avalon forces retreated). These gates allow for the appearance of both terrible monsters and fantastic possibilities, altering the balance of the world. The Fate-less Ones, beings who do not have their future written, appear due to the gates, creating both a mystery and a threat. These creatures have no fixed fate, creating an imbalance in the natural order.
The Era of Conflict:
A new era of warfare begins as the gates open and the Fate-less ones alter history and the fates of normal beings. Sparking worldly conflict between greater nations. After nearly 2000 years of conflict between the Big Four nations, Avalon once again invades the North, and tensions between the tribes grow. The Fate-less Ones continue to create disorder, and Aloria becomes a greater desperate struggle for survival.
In the end, Aloria is a world of contradictions: it is a place of incredible beauty and destruction, where ancient traditions and new threats coexist, where the future is shaped not just by the tribes but by the mysterious forces that govern fate itself. As the Gates open and the Fate-less Ones walk the land, the world stands on the precipice of either unity or chaos, and only time will tell what comes next.
Key Aspects of Aloria's Lore

The Gates: Mysterious gates scatter across Aloria, leading to other worlds or bringing forth horrors that can change the course of history.
The Fate-less Ones: These enigmatic beings appear unpredictably, not bound by fate. These beings often challenge the very concept of destiny, creating chaos in an otherwise structured world.
