World of Change RPG

"World of Change" is a text-based adventure where the player determines their own destiny and role-plays their character. Their actions can alter the history of entire nations and peoples, or lead to a life that is quiet and peaceful—or one fraught with hardship.

The story begins when the Gods created the continent and populated it with various fantasy races, magical creatures, leviathans, and humans. Modern scholars would later dub this era the "Age of Wonders," though in the present day, it is viewed merely as legend, folklore, or mythology. Magic flourished during the Age of Wonders, giving rise to numerous kingdoms and powerful mages capable of reshaping continents, as well as legendary heroes who performed great deeds and slew terrifying monsters. The world endured for centuries in this state until a fateful event—the impact of a meteorite—shattered the established order.

The "Dark Age" began with the meteorite's impact, which triggered rapid climate change and—more critically—caused the world itself to deteriorate drastically. An apocalypse ensued: the ancient Gods abandoned the realm, and leviathans began destroying everything in their path. Most devastating of all, magic began to fade following the impact, leading to the gradual extinction of creatures such as dragons, griffins, and basilisks. Fantasy races were ill-equipped for this new reality; their kingdoms and civilizations collapsed, leaving nothing behind, while mages—like magic itself—slowly vanished from the world. Only humanity managed to survive the centuries-long apocalypse and embark on a new chapter of history. The Feudal Age began after the Dark Age: having survived the apocalypse, humanity began to rebuild; new peoples, states, and religions emerged, as did new alliances and conflicts, marking the transition to a feudal order.

The Age of Enlightenment: during this new era, humanity made rapid progress. Scientists and engineers appeared, leading to scientific and geographical discoveries as well as economic and military reforms; it was also a time of cultural flourishing, marked by the creation of literary masterpieces and great works of art. The discovery of gunpowder, in particular, brought about profound changes, though not everyone embraced this progress—many sought to preserve the old world order.
