The Crystal of Mylopia

Planet Mylopia.

837AD A world of humans, elves and orcs living together and yet apart. A world of swords and magic.

The order of the crystal gathers every fifty years in their secret santuary to discuss ways to keep the crystal secret from the world. The crystal....the one thing in this world that keeps mages both safe and yet can be their destruction. But this time the meeting has been called early. Rumors have begun spreading throughout the world. The greedy, the power hungry, the cruel have placed their interest in finding out if the legends are true. The rumors about the ability of the crystal has changed over the years, but one thing stays constant: It is the key to ruling the world. Only the order knows it's true power, but that does not stop the seekers.

The Order gathers in their secreat santuary, deep in the depths of a forest beyond a mountain range, hidden by magic and seclusion. Few venture into the area for reasons beyond business for the Order, but one with knowledge has betrayed his trust and people now know where the Order is located...and they know the crystal will be with them.

Rumors have begun to abound about the location of the order. Many have already ventured into the mountains never to be seen from again. Some believe they have been lost to their own stupidity. Others believe this is just confirmation that the Order resides there, ever a more dangerous threat. An human village and an elven village around thirty miles from the mountain range have grown from the Orders presence. Many followers and believers have come to reside in these villages over the years, but now a new crowd has begun to move in, biding their time and plotting how to take on the Order and get the crystal for themselves.


3534 AD: A world of two races. The Myops and the Plorbians. A world of technology and psychic abilities.
The average age of Myops is 400. The average age of Plorbian is 150. Myops and Plorbian are the result of about a thousand years of interbeeding once most the race barriers broke down. Myops are the result of human, elf, and orcs intermixing. The average Myop is about 5'10". The human and elven characteristics are more dominant resulting in longer lives, usually very attractive by human standards, and the ability to use the psyhic powers. Plorbians are the result of orc and human intermixing. Plorbians are on average 6'5", stronger, but less intelligent, the human qualities blended with the orc unattractiveness to make the average Plorbian good looking by human standards. There are a few small groups on the world who believed in race purity and still are elven, human, or orc.

The world has greatly changed in many ways, and yet has stayed the same in so many ways. The descendents of the order still exist. The order continues to meet, however the location of the crystal was lost long ago. The last record of it's existance is from 923 at the same time as a huge uprising. It is unsure whether the crystal still exists or it was destroyed but that too has been lost to the ages. Mages have disappeared from the world, however psychics took their place. A different form of magic. The order continues to search for the crystal to protect it or confirm its destruction. Those searching for power have not given up either..

In a lair high in the mountains, the Order of the Crystal plots around their newest discovery: time travel.......If they can't find the crystal now, they'll get it when it definately exists.

Thanks to Heur the opposition is well aware of the time travel ability. Together they plot a raid on the Orders secret lair in an attempt to claim the technology for their own. And failing that, beat them to the crystal in the past.



Feel free to post intro posts if you can, if not i'll give you something to work with in a day or two. I'm giving a lot of freedom, so feel free to be creative. You know what you need of the world. The future is technology, the past is medieval fantasy like, just go with your character history. Some character need to interact, others don't. That's up to your interpretation. The start for the future is the plotting to go back in time/ the plotting about the raid. The past is hearing about the growing threat to the Order/ finding out the Order's location from rumors or informats or stirring up trouble in one of the villages. Feel free to create NPCs as needed. I'll jump in when necessary.


Characters are posted in the next post.
