Lore



CNR(Working acronym) is set on the fictional Mediterranean island of Lottae in 1515 AD during the European Renaissance, where a slightly advanced alien race of lizard people known as the Vocasaurians discovered Earth after using their portal technology to travel to the island chain. The Vocasaurians found the banished Catholic settlers of the island and were amazed to find another sentient race in the universe. The humans quickly found the aliens were not demons sent by Lucifer to consume their souls and taught the Vocasaurians the various European languages spoken by the multicultural outcasts.

The Vocasaurians taught the humans about their background: how they are a scientific team tasked with uncovering planets for Vocasaurian settlement by use of portals. The news of the Vocasaurians and their advanced technology was spread throughout Europe as hundreds of inventors, philosophers, and thinkers sailed to Lottae to gain knowledge of their ways. They were soon followed by the bankers and businessmen seeking to sell the technologies to the highest bidder.

The governments of Europe all seek the power of the new technologies to gain the upper hand in warfare and rule the world. To prevent the other nations from seizing the technology through military action, the monarchs have agreed to sign a treaty banning the navies and armies of their empires from sailing near Lottae. The treaty allowed for third parties to settle on Lottae in attempt secure a fortune of wealth, knowledge and power, which is where you come in.

You are a leader of a guild secretly tasked by an anonymous monarch to seize the island in the name of the crown. You must use tactics and cunning to slowly increase your grip over the new powers you have been granted. Ensure you are the last guild surviving on the island, or you surely will be executed for treason by the next ruler of the world.

Magic

 * Due to the lack of research on magic, our scholars are only able to collect scattered information on the nature of Magic.


 * The vocasuarians use some form of crystals to produce beams of energy which help them in their tasks. They use many types of instruments to channel the energy the way they want to. Where does this energy come from? How are they able to channel it so exactly?
