**Insidia**

**Introduction**
The game is a classical based MORPG featuring new innovative ideas. There will not be much about the project here, but there has been a lot of time and effort put into it. You can get more information from me if you ask for it.

**Setting**
The player will start off in a small town where they will be introduced to the game. Once the player completes the tutorials provided in the area they will defeat a threat and move on to their race's city capital. Once they arrive here they will deliver a message to their king and be sent onward to continue their journey.

**Story**
A calamity that hit the planet of Vintre merged the Material and Ethereal planes of the world together; causing Aether to rain across the world. Aether is a magical substance that was greatly researched by the Humans (similar to water but potent with raw energy). It was used to create three superior races (Elf, Draconian, and Genasi) by imbuing it within the body of a Human. This allowed the race to replenish its energy from Aether rather than how a normal Human would.

As the years passed the Humans felt threatened by these new races and wanted to abolish them from their society. They slowly killed them off and the remaining ones managed to escape. The survivors went into hiding and created their own civilization from scratch.

As the destruction ended, the world remained in peace for several years until a new threat surfaced…
