Forlorn - A Dark Fantasy World Building Project

This is a project that I have been working on for the past several months during my free time. Essentially I wanted to create a portfolio in which all the pieces are consistent with each other. In this case, I’m designing my own fantasy world as if for a video game. I’ve been slowly developing many aspects of this world. So far, I have a setting but am missing a plot, from which I hope a title can come from. In the mean time this is just fun world building and I’m creating all sorts of things that I would love to have in an Action RPG game.

Lyrimidia is the name of the continent that this project is set in. It is an ancient world filled with vast history, mysterious inhabitants, and no shortage of secrets. It was create by primordial deities that are now gone and all that remains in the cosmos are beings called Angels. These beings are abstract and alien and don’t care for the world below them very much, but they have had contact with humans throughout history. Much of the worlds history is unknown and the current kingdoms don’t have much information on those that came before them. The modern kingdoms (or just one kingdom?) only inhabit a small portion of the continent, the rest is surrounded by danger and mystery; both natural and magical. Though recently, in villages at the edge of the kingdoms’ land, a blight has been spreading and taking over everything. It has possessed and changed almost all life around it and seeks to spread itself. But…..A lone prisoner with a mysterious past, forced into a militia by the Crown to fight the blight may be able to do something about it. This is where the journey of the player begins.
