Abinasia is a fantasy world and RPG game. Abinasia is still in the beginning stages of creation. We are working on writing out the history of the world as well trying to find the best system of game mechanics for the game. The purpose of this board is to allow people to read and discuss the current history and game system as well as to test out elements of the game system to see if everything works well together.

Everyone is allowed to read and write in the general topic area of "The Tavern" all other sections are only accessible to members of the board. New people are always welcome to join but you must first be approved by an administrator as there have been problems recently with people trying to join just to advertise.

Giving your ideas or opinions on other people’s ideas is always welcome. We look forward to fresh input. Everyone who participates in the creation of Abinasia will receive credit for their help.

Some basics to keep in mind about the overall work of Abinasia.

The reason that Abinasia was created is that I tired of the entire stereo typing that there is in most fantasy I have played or read. Unicorns are good, demons are bad, Ogres are ugly and not very smart, etc. I wanted a world where everything could be anything it wanted to be. Trolls could be good paladins while angels could be evil blood suckers. In the world of Abinasia anything goes.

The peace in Abinasia in maintained by 7 orbs which are the orbs of…

Light
Dark
Balance
Good
Evil
Plenty
Naught

Each orb has a personal guardian that keeps it safe and hidden from the eyes of the world. Most people just think of them as an ancient legend since few are left alive that remember the days before the orbs existed.

The orbs were created by seven heroes’ of The Great War who wanted to see to it that neither good nor evil could completely take over the world again and destroy it. To this day they have maintained a balance between the two.

Before the orbs were created Abinasia had gone through a terrible war that lasted 97 years and took the lives of over 70% of the worlds’ population. It was almost completed decimated by an evil army that swept across the lands like a plague of locusts. Simply known as The Great War, it took place some 10,000 years before current time.

After The Great War ended the world of Abinasia was thrown into chaos. Most cities simply crumbled to the ground. Several races had become extinct or were in danger of becoming extinct. People became very nomadic moving around and just trying to survive. Before The Great War most races kept more to themselves. They would mingle with others to do business but bloodlines rarely crossed. After The Great War many species started to intermingle and form large communities together. Old feuds were forgotten and the hand of friendship was taken up. To this day most races still intermingle and live together freely. Most of the ancient prejudices are a distant memory.

Today most races are no longer in danger of extinction but a few have never really recovered and have become extremely rare to come by. There numbers are only in the hundreds instead of the tens of thousands or millions that they were before The Great War occurred.

Abinasia is technically “polluted” with left over magic from The Great War. No one is sure what happened but weather and climates do not follow a logical pattern. Deserts are next to arctic wastelands and some areas are so polluted with magic that they are simply deadly for most to enter especially the south eastern portion of the world. Most that enter the polluted zone never return and the creatures that have managed to survive in the magically polluted zone rarely manage to make it out to the rest of the world.

There is still much to create in the world of Abinasia and some things seem to change every few weeks as we test out different things to see how they work. If you'd like to be apart of this team we'd love to have you.

Sincerely,

The Administration
