Game Summary

Parts of this game such as the Map Art, Army Movements, Construction efforts, and the Player/GM written Lore entries are manually updated by the GMs/Admins at least once every 2 weeks. A turn constitutes 2 weeks of real-world time, and a turn ends on Sundays at Midnight EST. 2 Weeks of real-world time is equal to 6 months of in-game time. The games you play in reality act as proxy battles for the ones you would want to fight in this narrative world. Your battles do not have to be played against someone who is part of this campaign. This game uses a spendable currency called Realm Stone (RS). Players can spend their Realm Stone to mold/shape the world. Each turn you will be able to submit forms to interact with the world, and make submissions that accrue Realm Stone. The GM will process your Action Forms, Lore Forms and Hobby forms after the turn deadline, during the first week of the next turn. Battle Report forms are processed automatically, so you will accrue Realm Stone immediately from them.
