RPG Eredan

It is said that in an era when there was no time or continents, the world of Eredan was born from the collision of two elements - Light and Flame. Light wanted order and form, Flame - freedom and strength. Their struggle created continents, oceans and the first races, but at the same time - an eternal whisper in the bowels of the world.

The flame regained consciousness.

It was called Arra'Thal, the First Fire, looking at the creations of the world as sparks to be ignited. But the stronger his aspiration became, the more the Flame changed nature. It interfered with the fate of peoples, gave some magic, cursed others with heat or power.

When Arra'Thal decided to "improve" the world finally - to rewrite reality as a book, the races united. Elves gave knowledge about true magic, people - blood and bravery, dwarves - shackles made of metal that absorbed the very darkness of the bowels, and dragons - the fire of the soul.

This is how the Seven Seals were created, which closed the Flame in the depths of the world.

More than a thousand years have passed since then.

The seals are weakening.

The old magic is cracking.

The wind brings the smell of ashes.

And everyone begins to understand that Arra'Thal has not disappeared. He was waiting.

Ancient name: Aratah-Zal, Keeper of the First Flame

Essence: a former divine force that has lost its form

Age: older than the world

Appearance:

Arra'Thal does not have a single form. It becomes what scares or tempts the viewer the most.

It usually manifests itself as:

• Black fire silhouette with golden veins;

• A humanoid giant made of red-hot ashes;

• A black dragon with eyes full of ash wind;

• Or... a copy of the player himself, but older, wiser, scarier.

You never see him completely - only the outlines, as if he is standing behind a hot haze.

His true goal is to choose an HEIR

The flame needs a vessel.

He needs someone who:

• Hears him,

• Withstands it,

• Able to accept his madness and wisdom,

• Will be a continuation of his will.

And Arra'Thal's goal is to test the player.

Yes.

Don't kill.

To test.

If the player turns out to be worthy, the Lord of Ashes will give him his power.

If it's unworthy, it will turn it into ashes.
