Spiritscape
The Lords of Balance
The Lords of Balance
Spiritscape is built upon a hybrid of the Enviroments, Stat and Fighting systems from my SpiritQuest dreams.
Spiritscape's DS focus is on NPC / Monster AI, an Adjustable Quest System, and a Dungeon Master mode that allows a player to pick and choose a variety of events.
My original Lock and Load system is built into the dream but when the number of saved accounts is exceeded the dream resets and all players must create new characters.
Story:
Since the Dawn
of Gods and Heroes, when Myths and Legends
were born,
the forces of Chaos and Order, Darkness and Light, Life and Death have
been at odds to maintain Balance. With each Generation a new breed of
hero rises to Summon the Essence of the Ancients from the Spiritstones
and Ascend to become a Lord of Balance.Scattered throughout the World and UnderWorld are 24 Spiritstones of Myth and Legend that contain the Spirits of Gods and Heroes waiting to be summoned.
Classes:
Wizard: . Wizards Start with a +1 Staff and have a Range of 3. Have an Avatar and attacking animation. E or EQUIP to Activate.
Warrior: Warriors Start with a +1 Sword and have a Range of 1. Have an Avatar and attacking animation. E or EQUIP to Activate.

Spirit:
Your Actions can effect your Spirit causing it to drift in and out of various states ranging from "Wandering Spirit" to "Tormented Spirit". The state of your Spirit can effect some reactions from some NPC.
Tormented Spirits cannot Heal at the Altar of Spirits and go to the Tombs of the Lost when they fall in combat.

Quest and Events:
There are a variety of Quests, Tasks and Events that can be available besides the Primary Quest. Some of these Locations are moved and Randomized every 3-6 minutes. Most Quests have 2 parts, First to find and item that will be placed in your hands and the 2nd part to take it to an NPC or Altar to Activate the Item and Collect the Reward.

The Spiritstones are named after the 24 Celtic Runes and loosly based on thier interpretations.
