Not only is this the release of Act I, but it's the end of beta!
Get ready for an epic adventure through the land of Forge Hub!
The Forge Hub RPG is presented to you by Fbu and his team.
Introduction
Because this is the first act released I'd like to say some things about the game in general.
Just because beta has ended doesn't mean there won't be bugs. We rely on your help in finding these things. On another note, the game will be constantly updated. There won't be one huge game release, but rather, consecutive "Acts." Each act will have some sort of correlation with the storyline.
Many features of the game can be accessed through our forum sub-section. You can buy houses, trade items, chat, guild stuff, or just browse.
'<GM>' indicates the player is a Game Master. These people will do the best they can to help you, but they won't give you items or warp you to places. If they find out you are exploiting the game at all they can jail you for a certain time, and later ban you if the behavior persists.
Now on with Act I!
Act I: The Storyline
"Our story begins long ago with TDF and TheYavimayan in the ancient Kingdom of Würdpres. They had created a nation, the likes of which had never been seen before, and soon other powers were drawn to the world.
And so from another world came the Dragon of Coal (commonly known as DragonCoals), who came to add her strength to the world of Würdpres. Soon after she joined, the trio brought the Kingdom of Forgehub into existence. The Dragon of Coal married TDF and became the DragonQueen (DQ). Nitrous, the facilitator of lands, who had been in contact with TDF and TheYavimayan from the time before time, traveled to this new kingdom to offer his guidance. He became second in command under TDF. The Kingdom of Forgehub thrived under Nitrous' tutelage, along with the help of the omnipotent moderation council known as Guilders.
From the earliest of times, people have talked of the elder ones, Bungie, as they are referred to. Long ago, these powerful beings looked upon the slowly forming realm beneath them. Stories say that they contacted TDF and slowly came to recognize him as a true king. This upset Nitrous. Shortly after, the new Kingdom’s population surged as masses of neomembers arrived. These neomembers, with their dark magick, spam, soon began to overpower the good people of Forgehub. The council of Guilders convened in order to find a solution to the spam. During the meeting, Nitrous blamed DQ for this influx of spam in the hopes of gaining the power that DQ would lose. Many say this was the beginning of the true corruption.
DQ was then banished into the coalmines of the nearby mountain range. Out of rage, she brainwashed the local miners and blocked off all coal trade to the Kingdom of Forgehub. TDF and TheYavimayan vanished soon after DQ was banished, leaving Nitrous as the sole leader of Forgehub.
Many adventurers have since traveled by boat to the Kingdom's port with the hope of gaining both fortune and fame by defeating fabled DQ. Can you, young adventurer, succeed where so many others have failed?
Awaken! We have arrived…"
