Which Path Do You Take?
For Players and Contributors
There are 21 total factions for everyone to choose from, but not all of them will be given at once, some of you need to puzzle out what factions are missing for our Demon Kings and Demon Queens to reign over. Each character's starting chapter will have their in-game persona name and IRL name, with a quick overview of both before things jump into the world of the story. Part of the fun of this is how the factions are expressed through the monikers of the players and designs of their avatars, showing both their personal tastes and how they chose to express their faction.
The world itself is called Relicarn; a world with 7 moons and over a dozen continents, it also has some archipelagos and island chains that act as their own territories or are part of existing territories. In total, there are 17 continents, some bigger than others, about half that many in independent archipelagoes across the globe. The world itself is actually around a third of the size bigger than our world, but the game's version of the world was actually about around a third the size of our world.
All Demon Kings/Queens will have a few similar base abilities, such as the ability to be perceived as something non-threatening to most other characters without the appropriate abilities or builds to see through such deceptions and corrupt items and characters within certain limits which are expanded on with their build/Skill/Ability trees. And since there are a few special secrets hidden in how the build trees are built, most players are unaware of the secret abilities and skills hidden in the build trees. So far, only the Top 10 players are the only ones to have found some kind of secret in some part of the build trees. And their time in the real version of Relicarn will give the opportunity to stumble upon hidden quests that allow them to fully unlock those hidden build options they had discovered in the game upon their completion.
The three big Trees every character has are their Demon Lord tree (which is where all their expected Demon King/Queen abilities and skills can be found, some which are locked behind goals and milestones that can only be reached through other parts of the game, including the other build trees), Community tree (this is where all your city building and base building abilities are found), and Military tree (this is where all your combat abilities and combat applications for other characters can be found). Some special hidden benefits can be acquired through building each of the trees in very specific ways that some of the top players have managed to discover on their own but haven't shared with the general player base for their own reasons. In addition to the 3 base build trees, there are also 4 faction specific build trees that allow you to further play into their aesthetic and core mechanics.
