REALMS OF DISCOVERY

Introduction

Realms of Discovery is a play by e-mail based game.  Players will
be the sole rulers of the kingdom of their choice.  They will have to
control trade, handle diplomatic affairs, plan and engage in military
conflicts, establish colonies, maintain the peace and prosperity of their
realm, adventure and explore other lands and eventually become the
strongest ruler in the world of Calidon.

HISTORY OF THE WORLD OF CALIDON

The beginning of our game is set during the ancient year of 12564,
following the great wars, plagues, and destruction of the late 21st
century.  Human civilization as we know it has collapsed and has just
recently in the last five hundred years began to re-evolve.  Many of the
world�s governments have been destroyed and small areas of people have
banded together to form individual kingdom states.  Each of these kingdoms
is under the sole control of one sovereign lord.
	Many of the ancient writings and knowledge have been lost over the
past 10,500 years, but there is believed to be a book of knowledge that
exists somewhere in the unexplored lands.  It is said that this book of
knowledge, known as the Book of Elements, if full of inventions and
technologies that where only known to the ancient civilizations.  It is
believed that the Book of Elements is guarded by an ancient group of
people known as the Vinici. There is very little known about the Vinici.
They are believed to be a sect of people whose lineage stretches back to
the times of the ancient ones.	Beyond that very little it known.
