OverviewThe Nether Realm is a medieval fantasy world with unique, original races alongside old school fantasy creatures. The overarching plot revolves around the mythology of the world: the four primal powers of existence and their struggle for balance. The Light, the Darkness, the Origins and the Ether all affect and interact with the realm and its fount of inhabitants. Based upon the theory of yin and yang, the Nether Realm writhes with people and powers seeking chaos in the ruptured balance. In everything dark glows some aspect of light, and in everything light lies a shadow of dark. The agents of the Darkness, the Thyrza, wage war against the Light Bearers, striving to cover the realm in shadow and death. Outside of their racial battle, individual plots focusing on character development and personal storylines run rampant. One can join or fight the Thyrza, establish a neutral character, or ignore the main plot entirely in favor of focusing on smaller scale quests, dramas, relationships, or light entertainment. A wealth of guilds, groups, clans, tribes, races, renegades, and even deities are available to peruse and play, though some require administrative approval. Player development and additions to the world are welcomed and encouraged. Settle in, warm your mind, and take a glimpse into the Nether Realm. Still confused? Try the Nether Realm FAQ.
