Here is a brief dictionary and a short fragment of the Fallen Sword backstory. Tts someone fragmented, due to the restriction of time to work on the backstory.
----------------------
DICTIONARY
Iluthar : Sword of Light
Eribor : Human Fortress located in the North Lands.
Lanslil : Elven Fortress located in the East Lands of Mora.
Mitoa : Dwarven Fortress located in the West Lands of Eagos.
Lothar : Mysterious elven caves situated west of the Elven Fortress of Lanslil
Dali : A small port north of the Mogroth Ice Mountains, currently under then control of a legion of Greenskins.
Erildath : The world of Fallen Sword.
Liwen : A narrow valley passing through the Shadow Mountains.
Eagos : West Lands.
Elrad : An Elven outpost situated near the Greenskin Bastion of Amdar.
Gadraen/Eribor: Old King of Eribor, protector of the human domain. Slain by the Shadow Lord during the epic Battle of Erila.
Isudur : An elegantly crafted elven blade. Carried by the Royal Elven Guard.
Mogroth : The Ice Fortress located in the south of the Withered Lands.
Erila : Fields surrounding the mighty human Fortress of Eribor.
Mirdan : Elven Continent within the East Lands of Mora. The Elven Fortress of Lanslil is located here.
The Sword of Light
Iluthar, a single sword rumoured to generate the power to prevent unholy demons from entering the world of Erildath. Iluthar must be wielded by a human of royal blood, otherwise its effects will not be useful.
BACKSTORY (fragmented)
The ancient world of Erildath consists of four world realms; The North Lands of Eredas where Eribor, a mighty human fortress sits guarding the valley pass. Eribor is home to Iluthar, the Sword of Light. The East Lands of Mora is home to the Elven race along with dark mercenaries. The West Lands of Eagos is home to the magnificent Dwarven Citadel Lanslil. Finally, the Withered Lands in the south, bastion to the forces of darkness.
Legend tells of ancient times where humans waged an everlasting war against the hordes of darkness that emerged from the deep south, locked in bitter conflict to ensure their lasting freedom against the ruthless Shadow Lord. From his magnificent Ice Fortress of Mogroth, the Shadow Lord began amassing an army that would bring the forces of order to their knees.
The Shadow Lord devised a major campaign that would divide the united forces of light. A massive army of mercenaries were dispatched to lay siege to the Elven fortress Lanslil in the East Lands of Mora. Meanwhile, the Shadow Lord had dispatched five legions of greenskin warriors to invade the West Lands of Eagos, burning and pillaging every village and town they encountered before arriving at Mitoa where they finally laid siege to the mighty Dwarven Citadel that stood there.
Taking advantage of the distracted state of the Elven and Dwarven armies, the Shadow Lord launched a final siege against the human Fortress of Eribor in the North Lands of Eredas, home of Iluthar, the Sword of Light, where five thousand humans along with six hundred dwarves and two hundred elves rallied against the opposing two hundred thousand greenskins that had slowly poured through the Liwen Valley. The seemingly endless ranks of greenskins assembled before the Fortress of Eribor on the fields of Erila. It was on these fields where the free people of Erildath witnessed the fall of Eribor and with it the fall of Iluthar, the Sword of the Light. The absence of Iluthar has enabled the Shadow Lord to unleash his hellish terrors upon the world of Erildath.
Some claim the Shadow Lord hid the sword deep beneath his Fortress in the Withered Lands. Others say the Sword was hidden deep within the Dark Forests of Eagos, the West Lands, lair of the Ice Dragons and home to Edalir, the Dwarf King.
The sword remains hidden to this day, leaving the fate of Erildath still undecided.

maybe they're a manifestation of the SL's power? The stronger his hold on our realm is, the more Greenskins appear?
I like the history so far - glad I stumbled across FS!

So when do we get to meet this Shadow Lord. i want to see Whos Causing all of this. Maybe He should make a grand entrance. and then we could incorporate Guild attacks into it. Armies against armies.

Our Shadow Lord is actually the Spirit of Erildath.........A spirit who is here to free itself of its disease.....US........Now we can implement the Idea Of greenskins being Produced from seeds..........
So to make it simple Shadowlord Is a really pissed of version of our Mother Nature.....And its got a whole lot more of an arsenal to back it up so of course the only way to kill the shadowlord woudl be to find the sword........And we can play that out for a long Time ......

Good. The lack of plot was kind of getting on my nerves.
I just reviewed the game for the biggest Polish cRPG portal and I had to give it only 4 out of 5 points - mainly due to the lack of storyline and little number of quests.
But it was an enthusiastic review nonetheless - and I pointed out that the game is constantly under development.
regards
It's too bad Jackdaw is gone . He was an exellent storyteller.

The sword remains hidden to this day, leaving the fate of Erildath still undecided.
So, is the point of the game to find the sword or what? If it was, that would explain the name of the game.
Did you know that there are likely over 2000 rouge black holes in our galaxy alone. Each of them can reach very high speeds, even in space terms, are each capable of destroying anything in their path, and are invisible. Well, goodnight!
