The Official Advert

From ElanVital

Current Official Ad

It is the year 710.

Seven centuries' worth of progress towards a stable society lies in bloody ruins, ninety-seven percent of the world's inhabitants dead.

The great Wall that protected Titania, the jewel of the planet Voltumnus (and indeed its only city) is little more than heaps of toppled stone.

The continual war that has engulfed the Terran Empire's long-forgotten colony, home of high technology and the strange phenomenon of magic, has swung decisively to the natives' favor. Armies of beasts swarming humanity's last stronghold, working with unnatural intelligence and in perfect accord, were scattered only at the last minute by some unknown provenance.

Now 250,000 survivors cluster together in the Arcology of Starfall Island, working desperately to erect a new society from the ashes of the old. From the destruction of prosperity rises a new world with a limitless horizon, gifted with the freedom of having very little left to lose.

What will become of Titania? In which direction will she turn her wounded head? The answer lies in the hands of her survivors.

The Old Ad

This is now out of date.

Uncountable years in the future, citizens of the Galactic Human Empire set out on a mission to glorify their Empress Titania by expanding her domain out into the vast realms of uncharted space. Many ships departed in all directions; some were lost to accidents, some passed beyond knowledge or memory, and some succeeded at their goal.

One of these ships found the world of Voltumnus, beautiful yet harsh, populated with exotic and deadly beasts who wielded powers over their surroundings that science could not explain. Their every moment a struggle for survival, the beleaguered colonists dedicated their lives to ekeing out an existence on their new homeworld. Yet as they exerted their influence upon the land, so it too exerted its influence upon them. Humans began to be born with the same powers as the native beasts, powers that could be called nothing but magic. Commanding the elements or even life itself, these 'Celestians' all felt an ineffable connection to Pomona, Voltumnus's glowing moon.

Seven hundred years later, the colonists survive in the divided city of Titania. Technology and magic cannot coexist, the powers of one interfering with the powers of the other. The Galactic Empire now only a distant memory, the people desperately vie for as much influence as they can grasp without upsetting the delicate balance of power that keeps them alive. Technological experts rule in the east half of the city, known as Stocklin; the Celestians dominate the west, known as Petakova.

An uneasy peace has settled over Titania, but the tensions between the Stocklin and Petakova ways of life cannot be forgotten. For fifteen years, the beasts have not attacked, and the youngest citizens of the city cannot even remember their terror- but the oldest have not forgotten. Both Stocklin and Petakova are ruled by unlikely leaders, and political tensions have soared to monumental heights without an external enemy to unite the people.

Titania's destiny is waiting to be decided - by you. Be a Petakovan Celestian, commanding magical forces to do your bidding; a Stocklin scientist possessed of fierce creativity, designing new technology to lift your people to greater heights; a member of Voltumnus' Lovers, elite scouting and reconnaissance personnel who dare the wilderness's dangers; a career politician of Stocklin or Petakova, dedicating your life to the pursuit of power.

All these roles and more are open for players of Elan Vital, a unique blend of fantasy and sci-fi entering open beta now. EV has been developed by a team of staffers with experience on multiple games, all working in tandem to create a world where anything and everything can happen- and the players are the ones who decide the course of the action.
