The Emperor during his rule established proper laws and ethics that are required to balance and sustain peace and growth of the realm and the people. He administered division of the lands into provinces and regions and passed a series of major reforms to ensure a lasting stability. He stressed on great education and learning of science and art and cultural movements in peace. Atos Soi II the Emperor then disbanded his Empire and left the Atos Continent to settle in another domain located in another dimension in the world made possible by the powers of the Celestial Orb. The Emperor died in the year 432, thirty two years after unifying the realm.
A vital period known as the Evolution came in the year 444. The time for the seven deities that watch over the realm of Wu Gong to leave was decided. Being so close to the realm and their chosen ones before, the gods became distant and finally left, and with their departure the realm became weak, lifeless and the chosen ones lost their powers. Concerned at the dark and decaying realm created by the great god Wu Gong who is still in deep slumber, Heaven decided to allow humankind to restore their world and granted them the powers of the elements. The realm was infused with new life and special individuals were selected from birth and were granted the powers and talents to control and manipulate the elements of the world. With this new found power, humanity rose from the abyss and civilization returned and improved. With the elements human found new sources of great natural energy and from then tools were created to promote a higher standard of living. The rediscovery of high tech relics from a long lost civilization promoted development and advancement in science. Elemental generators and amplifiers are created to boost energy and production, while alchemy benefited warfare when gunpowder was materialized leading to moderate production of firearms like the pistols and muskets to big and heavy artilleries and explosives. Engines like steam engines were reintroduced to increase mechanical work as well. It was a period of renaissance.
Years passed and new powers and new forms of authority began to manifest. The rise of classical civilization and learning prompted philosophical advancement which eventually led to enlightenment and new reformations. Influence and power of clans rose distinctively and the time of social upheaval, political intrigue, and nearly constant military conflict engulfs the realm. The elements are concentrated and prioritized in warfare as the struggle became worse and chosen ones would once again wield their powers for war. It is now a period known as the Evolutionary Period and war has begun.
And yay, RoWG: VI has started! This game is now focusing on clan wars, and ruler sign ups are available as of now. Before, the game focused on the seven deities which granted special powers to each Chosen. This game is now focusing on special powers called elements. There are 7 different element powers; Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Dark. Each element will help you form your stragedies needed to win your battles as an individual, or in clan wars.
It's a really great sim, and the staff there are really active and dedicated. So join now at http://www.rowg.proboards55.com/index.cgi!
