Secret project information

Posted by knightvision on March 29, 2008

Well I guess it’s been awhile since my last post. I haven’t been slacking, I am starting to develop a new website for KnightVision Productions and the campaign setting of Ebonyr. I’ve decided to keep it “secret” for right now. My initial launch date will be August 1st, 2008. I will be posting tidbits now and again.

Some things I’ve been working on this month have been the religions and faiths, races and the Five Kingdoms Region. Ebonyr’s races and cultures will be embroiled in sectarian violence and religions tension. The main human religions will be monotheistic in nature, but will have a style all their own.

The humans are sub-divided into several cultures. There’s the Roakan or “Roakers” who are fair skinned with hair shades from blond to brunette. The Ibriy, who are transient in nature, have ruddy to olive skin and are mostly brunette.

That’s all for for now. I hope to post again soon. laughing
