What is Dragon Oath

Dragon Oath is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game set in ancient China during the time of the Song Dynasty in 960 AD.  The main storyline of Dragon Oath is based upon the mythology of the eight races of non-human deities described in Buddhist cosmology.  According to Buddhism, these Demi-Gods exist on a higher plane of existence than mortals, and yet they are still bound by their passions and desires to the Samsara, the cycle of reincarnation.  While the Demi-Gods themselves are not the primary focus in the game, the story’s main characters are modeled after the deity races, exhibiting many of their qualities, both devine and mortal.

The story behind Dragon Oath revolves around an elaborate saga of complex, troubled relationships among numerous characters from various kingdoms and sects during China’s Northern Song Dynasty.  The warring empires involved in the story are those of Song, Liao, Dali, Western Xia, and Tubo.  The struggles the characters experience within their combating factions affect the bonds between themselves and their families, societies, ethnic groups, and countries.  As a result, strife and conflict abound, and each player will find himself quickly pulled in to the fray, striving to evolve and leave his mark. Part of this evolution involves choosing one of the nine martial arts classes.  Once chosen, the player’s class will foster development of uniquely powerful skills and abilities that will define the player as a true force with which to be reckoned.
