Description

Los Angeles, CA, April 14, 2005 - Underlight - Year of Redemption - The eight Great Houses of the city of Underlight strengthen and grow with a common purpose before them. The Keepers of the Eternal Shadow, overtaken by the forces of chaos, stands as a mighty fortress of darkness, protected by the strongest creatures known to the dream. The Dreamer's of Light, always a bastion of hope and light in times of darkness, is once again leading the charge against the forces of chaos, uniting with enemies of old and houses long forgotten.
Enter the City of Dreams, where your dream is what you make it. Underlight features an enforced roleplaying environment, a real-time open player vs. player combat system, and a structured guild system with 8 permanent 'houses' to focus the action. Begin your dreams today, enter threshold, a ring at the center of the city that acts as Sanctuary, where combat physically cannot take place, and meet interesting dreamers from all of the 8 Houses. Develop your character as you find out more about the dreamers and the nightmares, enemy creatures, and the city itself. Rise in power as fellow players aid you with quests to raise your skills and join a Great House to help in their cause. Are you a pacifist? Alliance of the Eclipse is probably for you. A warrior? House Calenture or Dreamer's of Light. A scholar? Order of the Sable Moon. And there are many more. Work your way up through the ranks in a Great House to eventually lead it, making all of the important decisions for it with your fellow player rulers. Or test your skill and join the battle against the Dark Mares, mighty human controlled nightmare creatures, designed to require high levels or team work to defeat.
The city has been under siege for some time now. The dreamers have fought back against the Dark Mares who have taken over one of their Great Houses, poisoned one of their Rulers. Only recently, a group of dreamers friendly to the Mares worked together to heal the Abyssal Mistress. Subsequently, the leader of this ritual was demoted and removed from his House, the Order of the Sable Moon, entirely. Meanwhile, the dreamers of GoE planned a ceremony to cleanse the Keepers of Eternal Shadow House itself, in hopes of removing the Mares. On the night of the ceremony the Dark Mares were missing, and the House ominously quiet. However, when they began, the House resisted, lashing out with Dark Fire and ringing a great bell. By the end, the Dark Mares arrived to expel the intruders. After a merciless battle, Talesskar led the Darks in a ritual of their own at the Gathering's Home, dripping grotesque black and green slime around their House, drawing the symbol of the Shadow on their walls. It is unknown what has become of the tainted ritual performed at the Gathering, however it is said that the dreamer's ceremony may have worked, cutting the Dark Mares off from their entrance point to the city in the Shadow House. The maren leader, in response to this assault on his House has taken notice of the participants and banned them from his lands.
The Shadow is calling for the aid of all open minded dreamers, will you come and join the Dark Army in the fight to keep a permanent foothold in the city? Or will you answer the call of the dreamers, fighting to preserve order in their fair city? The choice is yours. Join us for a true roleplaying experience.
