The Luminaries, a technologically advanced race, ventures into multidimensional travel to seek out knowledge and harness the resources of unknown realms. After facing failure for 100 years, the Luminaries succeed in opening its first gate to the pristine, magical world of Eldoria. The native rulers, the Valael, are an ancient elven race deeply connected to nature and magic.
The two worlds forged a mutual partnership where the Valael learned new technologies, and the Luminaries uncovered the hidden magical powers of the world. However, an unforeseen cosmic event closed the gate between the two worlds, trapping the Luminarie colony on Eldoria.
Driven by their will to return home, the Luminaries established a settlement outside of the Valael capital and began their experiments to reopen the gates. An accidental miscalculation, or so its told, led to a catastrophic malfunction and tore open rifts to dark, hostile dimensions filled with monstrous entities and malevolent forces. The peaceful Valael were invaded by these dark forces, and a malevolent intelligence that corrupted the very fabric of nature around these rifts.
The Luminaries held responsible for this catastrophe and banished from the Valael kingdom. Without having military might and organized armies, the Valael suffered considerable losses to the dark forces.
Faced with an existential threat, the Valael, the Luminaries, and the Human Knight Order (a military organization known for its fighting prowess and discipline) formed an uneasy alliance. The three forces combined their magical strengths, technological advancements, and military skills to form a new defense force, the RiftKeepers.
The RiftKeepers represented the best of all three races, elite squads with the greatest mages, technologists, and warriors. The RiftKeepers completed rigorous training to hone their skills and master advanced weapons for their battle against the evil forces.
The Luminaries continued to develop their understanding of rifts and identify means to close them. The Valael, considering their deep connection to mystical energies and nature, discovered that these evil forces not only invaded Eldoria physically but also corrupted the very essence of their world. The Valael initiated rituals and constructed sanctified groves to heal and purify the world.
Despite the coordinated efforts of the three parties and the RiftKeepers, the dark forces grew in strength, spreading their darkness through Eldoria.
Desperate for help, the alliance leaders sought out ancient prophecies and powers they didn’t quite understand. That’s when they discovered the Creators: mystical beings with powers to bend the very foundation of the world. The prophecies spoke of champions that are imbued with a fraction of the power of these Creators. These champions rise at the darkest hour to protect the world against imminent threats.
The alliance started looking for candidates who had the qualities of these champions, including purity of heart, bravery, and an indomitable will. These select few candidates from the RiftKeepers formed ‘the Valguard-’ blessed protectors chosen by the Creators. The Valguard trained intensely and underwent rituals to awaken their inner powers, with some manifesting enhanced physical power and others unlocking profound magical strength.
While the Valguard took charge as the primary weapon against the evil forces, rumors spread about the Creators' true intentions and the toll the Valguard champions paid for channeling their energy. As the Valguard fight their inner doubts and their true purpose, they must defend their world against the dark forces.
The Alpha version of RiftKeepers will feature various personalities to enable participants to experience an example of actual gameplay leveraging the SynchroAI technology:
Jormud, the RiftKeeper (Player Character) - Fierce warrior with enhanced physical strength, battle-hardened and always looking for war and glory.
Pepe (NPC) - Guard by profession who strikes exciting conversations with passing RiftKeepers, admiring their heroics and supporting the fight against dark gates in his own way.
Ichiro (NPC) - Master blacksmith known for his weaponry and sought after by nobles and princes to build weapons. Ichiro takes pride in crafting weapons for RiftKeepers as a part of his role in the fight against the dark gate.
Nyla Astra - Luminare prodigy who lost her parents to the dark realm and the only Luminarie able to harness natural lightning force, coupled with advanced weapons to fight the corrupted beasts.
Players will have the option of creating their own player names and backstory within the context of the RiftKeepers lore, allowing for endless possibilities and experimentation.
Players enter a world full of conflict, diplomacy, and alliances and take on roles ranging from RiftKeepers and diplomats to mages and scientists. Players can explore a variety of quests, including sealing gates, fighting dark beasts, exploring new technologies and cultures, and finding solutions for the rifts’ menace.
