The Lands of Hyperborea
Version 3.0
In the Lands of Hyperborea, you begin the Single-Player game as an escaped prisoner - a rogue, borne by a swift and magical river to another land, far away. Of course, you do not have to play a male, you can choose to play a female, if you wish.
The Single-Player game will revolve around the main character's (and the player's) attempts to survive and learn about the lands they find themselves in. Unlike the normal Dungeon Siege scenarios, your character is not intended to simply run straight forward and beat everything to death. In fact, trying that will often get you killed. No, in the Single Player game, you begin life as a rogue, and your strength is stealth, guile, and cunning. Some things will look familiar, yet be different. Other things will look utterly unfamiliar - and, perhaps, be somewhat surprising. With planning and careful strategy, you will survive.
The multiplayer game will allow the player to choose one of the (currently) six major races in Hyperborea - Human, Dark Elf, Light Elf, Dwarf, Valkyrie, and Hyperborean. Each race will have specific advantages and disadvantages. Also, the multiplayer game will allow you to start your racial choice in one of several different starting areas corresponding to your choice, and either play the game solo, or adventure with a group of friends online.
After over six months in development, the siegelet is now complete. It will be hosted at http://www.siegenetwork.com/ shortly.
