General Story & Main Locations

Legend tells that when the world was created, a large crystal of immense power crashed into Ashur, buried deep underground. When the continental shifts occurred, it was pushed up and came to rest on top of a mountain. There it rested, undisturbed, for 5000 years, until a man found it. When he touched it, his hearts true desire was fulfilled, and the world united under one kingdom. That man, and his descendants, would rule over the land. One day, one of his descendants was assassinated. The assassin then sought the crystal, which had been sealed inside a great fortress. Very quickly, the assassin found the crystal, and went to touch it. Because his heart was impure, the crystal shattered into ten pieces and flew away. The kingdom also shattered, and ten of the eleven major cities began ruling all villages and hamlets in there area. The eleventh city fell into ruin, and was abandoned. The assassin spent the rest of his life trying to find the shards, unsuccessfully.

A long time has passed, and very little is still known about the shards or the crystal. The only place that has any written text from that age is the original great fortress the original crystal was housed in

Cities Map (w/ labels)


Major Cities

City: Karrod
about: Major Market City. Has the most varied selection of anything anyone could need. Also the closest city to Droku, and the most centered city in Ashur, other than Droku.

City: Luciv
about: Luciv is kind of a large city. It is not the oldest, but it is still quite populated and famous. At the base of the Lucivian Mountains, it usually uses the Sogarsh Ocean for transportation and trading.

City: Ralik
about: Ralik is a kind of strict town. It has very binding laws and all its inhabitants are pretty much afraid of anything. It only accepts packages from other places as long as the packages have been quadruple checked.

City: Drasia
about: At the very North of Ashur, and on top of a mountain range, Drasia's inhabitants are always dressed for cold weather. THey have a very white skin, and live in houses they like to call Igloos, blocks of snow and ice stacked on top of eachother.

City: Moriad
about: The very opposite of Drasia, Moriad is a place of heat and sweat. It lies in a valley and its inhabitants have a very dark tinge of skin. Moriad is a place of vacation for the rich inhabitants of Ashur. It is quite peaceful.

City: Caglar
about: Caglar is a land of mystery, not many Ashurites know what goes on there. it is almost unreachable, it is behind a mountain range and a tall reef surrounds its seas, sinking any ships that enter. Rumors say that Caglar is actually home to a species that is not human.

City: Duath
about: Duath lies on a peninsula jutting from Ashur's main continent, Rashtentha. It is home to pirates, theives, and various other scum. Unless you are an outlaw, it is suggested you don't enter, because there are no laws there.

City: Kran
about: Kran was made in hope to populate the continent it lies on. It is said that one day, Kran will replace Moriad as the main vacation spot because of its tropical jungles and moderate heat. The one thing that is stopping Kran from becoming overrun by humans is that fact that it is covered in volcanoes.

City: Frath
about: Frath is also known as the city of war. It has a huge army and navy, and all its inhabitants are barbarians that love bloodbaths. The city is almost covered in taverns and bars.

City: Ramner
about: This laid back, watermill town can hardly be considered a city. It is pretty much populated by farmers and people who want to get away from it. It is said that, under Ramner, lies a vast network of caverns that once housed a great civilization.

City: Droku
about: Former Central City of the Kingdom of Ashur, now split. Those going here will run into zombies, and dead friends. The only way to find the palaces near the other cities is to head through here for the Great Palace. Access to the Great Palace only occurs on a New Moon, or when ALL 10 shards are collected, and brought here at once.

DUAL JOBS

To run a dual job character, there are some guidelines that must be followed.

*CANNOT end up with Warrior/Warrior, etc.
*CAN end up with Warrior/Paladin, Warrior/Alchemist, etc.
*CAN end up with Assassin/Assassin IF starting off with Rogue/Archer

IF YOU CHOOSE TO GO WITH dual JOBS
*Initial Stats: based on Primary (1st) Job
*Level Up Stats: same, except when leveling up, you get ALL bonus stats for your Job Changes
[ex - Soldier/Soldier @ LV 7 -> ATK+7, DEF+7, SPD+5, MAG+2, HLT+5 -> + Normal Level Up Stat Bonuses -> New Job: Fighter/Defender]
*XP Gained: XP you WOULD gain / 2 (rounded down)
*Class Skills: Gain ALL Class skills you would otherwise gain (though slightly less proficiently; unless starting out w/ same dual Job, that Job only)
*Mage Skills: Gain ALL Mage skills you would otherwise gain (though slightly less powerfull; unless starting out w/ Mage/Mage, Mage Abilities only)
*Armor/Shields/Weapons: Can use anything your Job could use
*Fighting Other Characters: For XP Calculation, Double any dual Jobs' XP in the Formula
