Dragon of Legends

Dragon of Legends is an online action RPG for PC, Mac, Linux, and Mobile devices, that is heavily influenced by Gaelic and Norse mythology. It is under development by Thrive Games and was recently Kickstarter funded. Release date has not yet been announced.

Overview

Two alliances have emerged across the world, both struggling for supremacy over the land and as these great powers battle one another for control of Hávamál – darker forces gather to destroy them. Players from around the world can assume the roles of customizable heroic fantasy characters, and explore a lush 2D world full of mystery, danger, and countless adventure.

After creating your own custom character and selecting a faction, you will set out on an epic quest to conquer evil and save the lands of Hávamál from impending doom, or succumb to the darkness and act as an agent of destruction. You will have your own background, racial history, and character specific storyline that will provide direction, and motivation behind all of your actions.

Lore The ever watchful and eternal Dragon, Neloth, has become aware of the darker motivations of Balor, the One Eyed. Seduced by Loki’s trickery, Balor has begun the work necessary to set him free. While Loki is imprisoned under The Great Mountain, it is only a matter of time before Balor's army unearth and liberate the malignant trickster. This would mean the complete and utter end of the universe — Ragnarök.

In order to prevent this, Neloth is coiling himself around the lands of Hávamál, slowly tightening his grip. Massive continents are beginning to shift closer together, creating mass paranoia and confusion as the world shakes and trembles with great force.

The world, its Gods, and all of its life are being destroyed in the process, but once finished, The Great Dragon's selfless act will reset the hourglass of time, and the world will begin anew. The Gods plead for Neloth to forgoe his martydom, but all of their cries continue to go unheard.

However, Neloth reveals to us in the stars that only the chosen mortal races can prove his plan to be unwarranted: If the naturalist Peoples of The Emerald Crown, and the industrial warriors of The Black Hammer can set aside their differences, there may still be hope. These two alliances must band together and defeat Loki in battle in order for The Great Dragon to release his suffocating grip on Hávamál.
