<h1>MAGIC AND TECHNOLOGY</h1>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In every Fabula Ultima world, science and magic represent two different ways
|
||
of studying and manipulating reality: one concerns itself with the tangible
|
||
nature of matter, the other with the souls that dwell within it — two sides of
|
||
the same coin.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Miraculous machinery might be hidden beneath the ruins of an ancient
|
||
civilization, and even the most powerful wizards will often make use of
|
||
vehicles and airships.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Many of these worlds also feature an unusual discipline that combines magic
|
||
and technology into magitech: metal soldiers animated by the souls of the
|
||
fallen, bombs that can unleash elemental mayhem, and flying machines fueled by
|
||
wind spirits are only a few examples of what can be created by this hybrid
|
||
craft.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>HEROES OF MANY SIZES AND SHAPES</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Fabula Ultima’s protagonists are full-fledged heroes, extraordinary
|
||
individuals that possess unique abilities and whose actions will shape the
|
||
fate of the world. While some may not be noble paladins or virtuous paragons
|
||
of justice, even the thieves and dark knights among them have a fundamentally
|
||
good nature and can be trusted to do the right thing when the situation gets
|
||
desperate.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In line with the video game genre Fabula Ultima draws inspiration from, our
|
||
heroes do not follow any rule of realism: be they children with incredible
|
||
magical powers or elderly warriors able to single-handedly challenge an entire
|
||
army, all that matters is their strength of spirit.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HEROES</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Any relevant event in a game of Fabula Ultima is tied to the heroes, either
|
||
directly or indirectly. Dramatic plot twists shall happen when the
|
||
protagonists are present on the scene, and the great powers (and evils) of the
|
||
world shall pay them special attention.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Following the same logic, the heroes’ determination will allow them to achieve
|
||
the impossible, such as defeating an empire or sealing away a powerful deity.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>MYSTERY, DISCOVERY, AND GROWTH</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
This game is built upon discovery: of ancient mysteries and forgotten powers,
|
||
yes, but most of all, of the heroes themselves, of their feelings, and of what
|
||
they are willing to do in order to fight against darkness. Fabula Ultima’s
|
||
protagonists are complex and sometimes tragic figures, and their journey will
|
||
change them forever.
