Armageddon
Armageddon is an online fantasy game in which players jointly inhabit a harsh, post-apocalyptic desert world. The game requires roleplay; while conflict abounds, the game is not about killing things. Rather, it is about living out a character's sometimes short and always difficult life in the harsh world, Zalanthas. It is a world where sorcerer-kings and their ruthless servants, the Templarate, govern the two main cities, Allanak and Tuluk. Any magick not granted by the Kings is feared and hated, and where the punishment of such a curse might be death. In this harsh realm, life is a constant struggle, and death may occur over a drink of precious water.

About This Game
Zalanthas is a brutal world where survival depends on ruthlessness and cunning in equal measure. Scorching deserts dominate the landscape beneath a relentless red sun, creating an environment of extreme scarcity that pits inhabitants against one another in constant competition for resources. Those who endure do so through various means: some form protective bonds with powerful clans or influential allies, while others exploit, deceive, or eliminate anyone standing between them and another day of life. The weakest simply hide in the margins, attempting to remain invisible to both predators and threats, knowing that even attracting the wrong kind of attention can be fatal in a world where mercy is a luxury few can afford.
