Morpheus Online is primarily set on the island nation of Ravenia. A peaceful nation that has remained hidden from the rest of the world for nearly three hundred years. Why are they removed from the rest of the world? Well, nearly a millennium ago, darkness fell upon the world. Demons poured from the depths of hell and threatened the fabric of reality. Their goal was to simply overwhelm the world with their numbers and bring hell to earth. Many nations fell, with only a few having the might to ward off the demons. It was the King of Ravenia during this time that sought a way to keep the island nation away from the encroaching doom. Together, with the various nobles of the land and the College of Ravenia, the King was able to create a powerful barrier around the island nation and pushed the island further away from the mainland. Since then, Ravenia has lived in relative peace. Throughout the generations, there has been internal strife but for the most part, the country has remained stable. Ravenia has used this time of peace as a means to improve the lives of its citizens, which has let them become lax in their ways.
[break][break]
The nation is made up of several islands, with a vast majority of the population living on the largest of the islands. It is also home to the capital city as well as the home to many of the nation’s groups. The island is rather large, with a mountain range that cuts the western and eastern areas. It is thought that long ago the mountain was home to a volcano but after years and likely the help of some magic, it has become much more of a traditional-looking mountain range and there is no fear of volcanic activity. Now, the country is a lush green space. Filled with valleys, rivers, and plenty of farmland. Many races flocked to Ravenia before the barrier was placed and thus it has become a melting pot.
[break][break]
Within the past five years, Ravenia’s once-beloved King, King Julius Ravenia, has had his health fall dramatically. To the point that now his seven-year-old son, Prince Luka has been officially selected to be appointed the new king within the next few months. Prince Luka, being only seven years of age is not seen as the best source for fair and accurate judgments; therefore a council formed of various nobles have been selected to help him rule until he is at a wiser age. The one that is heading this counsel is Regent Valdoryes. An older elf that has strong ties to both the College of Ravenia as well as the Vermillion Order. It is said that he made his fortune off the Red Market and bought his way to nobility several decades ago. Many of the common people do not know who the Regent really is and only go by what they hear. Rumors of odd magic rituals and strange company seem to circulate about him, leading many to have a poorer view of the man. Still, he has kept the country’s economy and safety going strong during these last five years. By enlisting the help of the Brave Company and the Vermillion Order, Valdoryes has been able to keep the population safe from the threat of the strong monsters that inhabit their island nation.
[break][break]
Within recent years there have been talks. Many of the nation desire to break the ancient barrier and see what has come of the outside world. Too many generations have passed and their re-emergence into the world beyond would be nothing but beneficial to the Kingdom. While others, more loyal to the Crown, see the decision by the past King as the wisest choice. They could not risk their world being harmed by the forces of Darkness that had almost engulfed the entire world back then. Because of this ongoing feud, groups have begun looking into ways of breaking the barrier that shrouds their island, potentially putting the lives of millions at risk. In order to keep peace, Regent Valdoryes has issued a decree that those that attempt to break the barrier will be taken away and forced to live the rest of their lives in a prison on a remote satellite island, far from the mainland. He has given the order the highest priority, often skipping a fair trial for those accused. This has led to some outcries from the general population. They see these imprisonments as a harsh punishment, especially those where a trial has been bypassed.
