This is my first game posted here. I tried to make all graphics custom. I'll leave it to the merciless people here in pd to tell if that worked out. If you find any errors in my language(I'm sure there are many of them, cause I'm not english), please tell me, and I'll fix them in the next version. This version is about one and a half hours long if you do all the sidequests.
History
Some eras ago, the world treathened to plunge into an eternal night. It was then that a band of heroes, known as the Vampa Guild, rose and put an end to it.
After that, the world became prosperous and peaceful. Mankind was had just began to exist, and the civilli, an ancient culture with somewhat high technology, ruled the world. This changed after a mad civilli became the chancellor of a civilli nation of that time. In the royal libraries he stole a book of forbidden knowledge. he used the book to seperate the civilli world into tiny fragments, which became completely isolated from each other. Without any trading routes, the civilli world came to it's end. This however, allowed mankind to become the dominent race. Now, he civilli are forgotten by many, although still, traces can be found from the old days.

Story
Not much of the actual story is revealed yet in this part. Cain, the protagonist, goes with his friends to a cave that opened up in a recent earthquake. When they're there, Cain and Oscar, one of his friends, go inside to explore. They find an empty chamber with a weird hole in the ground and a green rock in the middle. Oscar touches it, and activates a warping mechanism. Within a few seconds, Cain and Oscar are warped miles away to a place they don't know.
Soon they find out that they're not the only people with problems. This area is governed by General, a dictator, and his army of turban soldiers. These turban hats were originally worn by the army that protected the lands, but that was before General came. The few turban soldiers that defiled General formed the River Guards. After Oscar and Cain get caught in a conflict between these two, they are considered criminals by the turban army, and have no choice but to help he river guards...
