Discover The Sanctum

http://sanctum.youngwriterssociety.com The Story They say that in the ancient times, the world was filled with havoc. The gods were mean and spiteful, and man suffered in their shadow. Civilizations would rise only to be doomed by forces they could not control or foresee. In this time, there was a man named Prometheus who dared to defy the gods, despite being half a god himself. He brought fire to mankind, and was punished for doing so. Zeus, the head of the gods, chained him to a bed of rocks for eternity; his liver forever being eaten by an eagle. But before his condemnation, Prometheus boxed up all the evil spirits in the world, trapping them forever. That box has now been opened. Twelve years ago, the Kingdom of Sanctum laid in hills of rolling green; fields lush with plenty. Now demons loom in forests seeped in dark decay. Crops lay stricken; plagues prosper. The King has sent forth for heroes. Many have answered. None have survived. Yet, they say, if you can slay the green dragon, Sanctum will be saved. But for now, the people pray. _____________________________________________________________ Sanctum is a browser-based text role playing game based on the Legend of the Green Dragon game engine and brought to you by the same guy who brought you the Young Writers Society. Why Sanctum? As already said repeatedly, Sanctum is new. It is different, and I thought I'd give something different a try for a bit. The idea came forth because of the intense activity in the Storybooks section, so I thought there might be an interest in something like this. User interaction in Sanctum is pretty minimal. You can have player versus player fights, but that's really about it. Otherwise, just head over to the Tavern and talk with Nate the barkeep, flirt with the maid, or converse with the bard. Currently, there are only a few places you can go to. There is the village of Sanctum, the forest, the mines, the temple, and a few others. This will change over time; more villages will be added, and more areas as well. In fact, the village of Spew with a desert area should be available quite soon. And since it is part of YWS, there is a Library in the village of Sanctum where you can submit your own works. It's a Library so you can't comment or add on to the works, but it should still make for some fun. So welcome to Sanctum! http://sanctum.youngwriterssociety.com

I just joined and am working my way around the controls. It reminds me of an RPG I created from a JAVA program sophomore year in our programming class. Thousands of lines of code. I feel nostalgic about those days whilst I play this
