The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come to pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose. . .

It is upon that wind that you are born into the world of man. In this world, as in worlds past, the Great Lord of the Dark has laid claim upon the lands of the free. As a black tide, he shall be bourne as the rider upon the storm, his minions lifting his countenance upon the world. Yet in this turning of the wheel the Dragon has yet to be reborn and only the blood of life is left to be the collected price for the freedom of man.

The Sea of Storms mud is based upon the world of Robert Jordan`s "Wheel of Time" fantasy series. It is not required for players to have read the series of novels, but it is expected for all characters to act according to the culture and belief structures defined in the books. In addition, since the world in which the Sea of Storms takes place is a mirror world, or a world where certain key events didn`t take place or have not taken place, it is important for players to understand some of the cultural history and historic influences of the world. In other words, we strongly recommend reading the books.

Roleplaying is the main focus of The Sea of Storms. It is a required factor of the game and is enforced both by our codebase as well as our imms. Roleplaying provides the foundation of all things, so when in doubt about something most likely the answer will be to role play.
