Story

Roughly 90% of the Kaos War world is set on a planet called Kaos, the surface of which is contested by 3 factions. Each faction has one major city, together these cities and their large surrounding areas, including several faction bases, make up about 1/3rd of the gameworld.

To give you an idea of the races and their cities, here is a short description of each race and their major city:

Race: Al¡¯Gar

A race of darkness and as such capable of weilding dark mystical powers. The Al¡¯Gar define reality by the right of the strongest, not recognising morals or values as the core principles of life. It is their firm belief that the one value which defines all life is personal power, making the Al¡¯Gar an empire of savage warriors. Although their beliefs cause their society to be a chaotic one, as the members of the Al¡¯Gar society continualy challenge eachother to establish their own superiority, they have always feared and recognised a superior leader. It is this emperor that all Al¡¯Gar bow down to as he leads the Al¡¯Gar into battle against their enemies. The armies of the Al¡¯Gar are called legions, each lead by a fierce and respected leader, a leader who bows only to the emperor.

City: Bragun¡¯Dragul

Home of the Al¡¯Gar and seat of the emperor. Since establishing this city on Kaos the dark energy of the Al¡¯Gar has transformed the landscape and wildlife around it. The Al¡¯Gar hunt in the area around their city in order to gather large amounts of meat for their raw and primitive meals. Situated mostly underground surrounded by treacherous cliffs and lavaflows this city perfectly portraits the powerful and dangerous life of the Al¡¯Gar. Deep inside this bastion the Al¡¯Gar emperor commands his armies in the battles unfolding all over Kaos, opening dark portals and deploying his legions wherever he sees fit.

Race: Humanity

The human race is made up of chaos and as such it has never possesed the innate mystical abilities that define the existance of the Al¡¯Gar and Deva. Instead humanity has evolved and developed advanced technologies to help them control the world they live in. As the human race was never able to travel using mystic portals, they have remained on Kaos ever since mankind came into being. The one thing that defines humanity as a race is that despite their various laws and beliefs they care greatly for all other humans. It is this caring that united mankind on Kaos after centuries of war, long before the arrival of the Al¡¯Gar and the Deva. Humanity is lead by a Signifier, a ruler elected for life. The armies of humanity are called orders, each lead by a respected leader that has pledged loyalty to the Signifier.

City: Sanctuary

The last human city, it¡¯s countless citizens made up from survivors of all ethnicity?s. Positioned in the flow of a steep canyon riverbed, Sanctuary has been able to sustain itself for centuries thanks to the power supplied by it¡¯s giant hydroelectric dam. This dam keeps the city dry, sending the water trough underground pipes to the other sides of the city. Using the ample supply of electricity and clean water, the city of Sanctuary sustains itself with food harvested from it¡¯s perfectly regulated hydrophonic farms, deep below the city. Sanctuary is the seat of the Signifier, the elected ruler of mankind and the Orders, the armies of humanity that fight in his name. Although humanity lacks the abillity to open portals in order to deploy their troops into battle, the fast transport shuttles, used for both regular transportation and millitary drops, more then make up for this.

Race: Deva

The Deva define their lives not by personal power or by caring for their kind, but instead, by a what they believe to be the absolute truth, a strict set of laws that determine what is right or wrong and how one should act in any situation. Because they are beings of light they are capable of wielding light mystical powers. With their strict laws and beliefs the Deva are the ultimate orderly society. The Deva are ruled by a supreme council, each member of which is recognised as a personification of the beliefs and the laws they live by. This council commands the armies of the Deva, known as houses in battle.

City: Uzurahim

The city of light, home of the Deva and their ruling council. Located in a beautiful mountain area, the light energy of the Deva has turned the surrounding landscape into what can best be described as a garden of eden. With a wide variety of fruits ready to be picked from this garden, food is not a concern for the Deva, especialy since eating meat is against their beliefs. The halls of eternity and the seat of the council form the heart of the Uzurahim, from which the council of the Deva oversees it¡¯s empire and commands it¡¯s armies, using mystical portals to deploy it¡¯s houses into battle
