AUTHORS INTRODUCTION
I welcome you to the fantasy world of STONE MIST. I world created over
five years ago by myself and a hardy band of crusaders who tackled the
world with bravery and adaptness. You will soon embark onto a quest that
will span the many continents of Stone Mist, through the Melash Sea to the
Evertmeet Desert, you will see the wonders and the evil of the world.
Stone Mist is very dear to my heart and since its creation years
ago, I've wished for people to adventure in my world. A world of medieval
nature and lore. A place where people are amazed by magic and are
enchanted by the fauna. This world, I call home, is haunted by images
of past horrors, by beasts of other universes, planes and the World Pool.
Stone Mist is a rich world with hundreds of persons, who if given the
chance would help anyone tip the scales in their constant struggle
against evil.
Stone Mist is at the same time a harsh and brutal world, where only
the people who ban together can survive. From the magical flow lines
to the constant dueling of ancient dragons, people who stay together,
fight together and survive together!
Stone Mist has lost none of its sheer size and terror when being ported
to the IBM. We managed to give the computer role players the game they
want. With a huge cast of non player characters to interact with you
will learn the lore of Stone Mist as well as discover, a most hideous
plot to destroy the Earth goddess! The story is developed through your
interaction with the inhabitants. Though, combat does occur, we do NOT
place an emphasis on it for character advancement! We believe role
playing is a balance of combat and interaction.
Explanations of the different Stone Mist cultures, races and the
world in general will release in a guidebook entitled," The Stone Mist
Worldbook." All material will help and aid the player in the
exploration and reunification of Stone Mist.
What is Stone Mist 2 ?
Stone Mist 2 is a 3/4 perspective, animated VGA role playing game. The
world is called Stone Mist, a huge medieval domain, similar in
technological achievements accomplished during Earths own Middle
Ages. All of Stone Mists gods, legends and lore are based on the
actual beliefs and superstitions of the people during the Middle
Ages. A heavy dose of Norse mythology is also present in the cultures
of Stone Mist.
Stone Mist is an entity, its own world, a world wracked by violence
looking for a hero.
