Background, fluff, history, legend, whatever
I don't feel that the Techies, either on the site, or at the very beginning of the game, really give us enough info on the realms. I mean, that little movie at the beginning was fine, but did it tell us there were attack sheep in Alsius? Did it explain to us the clerical fachism of Ignis, or the "tree friendliness" of Syrtis? Well, that might just be a myth still.
I thought that many of us may have joined a realm by percived "goodness", or "coolness". How terrible then, if one were to be dissapointed, on for lack of information! But such deception is relativly shortlived. Life is hard enough for a new player, some having no concept of the interface, much less where they are, what in the gods' names is going on; to top it all, they dont know for whom and why they do what they clumsily do! HOWEVER! I would like to praise the Techie writers for making every Realm very "human" in that, each one has personality, there is no black and white, good and evil, just plain Blue is good and Red is bad. Rather, each side is entirely "human", fallable, quirky, and often driven emotions rather than reason. So cheers for not making the the "good guys" (whoever they may be) dull and sanctimonious and the "bad guys" laughably sinister and unbelievable. BACK to the point, I would request a great compilation of all the histories, legends, backstories, and stuffings that fill the gaps between the obvious. With your most humbly requested aid, let the disambiguation begin!
