This is a world of high fantasy and epic sorcery, of vast armies clashing, and of empires rising and falling. It is a world populated with a legion of different mortal fantasy races, from noble but imperialistic humans, to fey elves who are bonded to their environment, to orcish scum who ravage and despoil wherever they go. It is also a world where dragons soar through open skies, whose fiery breath can melt through stone castle walls, and who individually are a match for whole mortal armies.

SYSTEM BEING SIGNIFICANTLY REDESIGNED FROM GROUND UP. MAY BE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES AS UPDATES TAKE PLACE Asklepios 07:55, 17 June 2009 (PDT)

Introduction[edit]


This is a world of high fantasy and epic sorcery, of vast armies clashing and of empires rising and falling.


It is a world populated with a legion of different mortal fantasy races, from noble but imperialistic humans, to fey elves who are bonded to their environment, to orcish scum who ravage and despoil wherever they go.


It is also a world where dragons soar through open skies, whose fiery breath can melt through stone castle walls, and who individually are a match for whole mortal armies.


The difference between this fantasy RPG and others is that the players do not depict the mere mortals that scurry on the earth and cower in fear of greater beings.


In this rpg, the player characters are the Dragons.


The Age of Dragons roleplaying game sets the player characters in the role of young dragons during the First Age.


They will carry these characters through the course of centuries, building legacies and achieving legendary deeds. When their characters finally fall to old age (or more likely die facing the many dangers of the world) the players can then taking the story on with their draconic offspring.
