AND THE AGE ENDINGS - A Journey to Our Ancient Past
The
Dawn of a Forgotten Age
Thirteen thousand years ago, a world existed that has been lost to all memory. It was an age of endings, when the old ways crumbled and new possibilities emerged from the shadows. This was the time of PRiMORDiUUS, when the first humanoid beings walked the Earth, not as our ancestors, but as distinct races that would eventually fade into myth. In this legendary dark fantasy RPG, you'll enter a realm untouched by recorded history, where the very laws of nature were different and the boundaries between the physical and spiritual realms were thin. The world was raw and untamed, filled with mysteries that would later become the foundations of all human legend and folklore!

The Avalonians: Stewards of the Celestial
From the northern lands came the Avalonians, a race of humanoids of imposing stature, standing tall with lean yet powerful builds. Their fair skin seemed to reflect the light of the stars, and their bright eyes—ranging from piercing blue to startling violet—held an otherworldly quality. Avalonian folklore tells of their creation when celestial bodies aligned and their essence descended to Earth, giving the Avalonians their affinity for the heavens. They were the first to understand the patterns of the cosmos and the rhythms of the world, developing knowledge that would later be attributed to magic. In PRiMORDiUUS, playing as an Avalonian means embracing your connection to the celestial and wielding abilities that draw power from the stars themselves.
The
Arcanuum: Children of Two Worlds
Where the Avalonians were singular in their heritage, the Arcanuum were born of mingling—part one humanoid species, part another. These midtone-skinned hybrids possessed the bulk and strength of their diverse ancestry, with broader shoulders and thick limbs that made them formidable in any confrontation. Their skin bore subtle patterns that seemed to shift with the seasons, and their eyes held ancient wisdom beyond their years. Arcanuum legends speak of their origin as a union between different humanoid peoples, granting them resilience and endurance in exchange for their role as mediators between the various races. In the game, Arcanuum characters will have unique abilities tied to the earth itself, with the power to sense changes in their environment, find hidden paths, and communicate with the creatures that others simply hunt.
The Fluorsians: Keepers of the Inner Flame
In the warm southern lands dwelled the Fluorsians—diminutive people standing only three to four feet high, but possessing spirits as vast as the open sky. Their name comes from their mastery of inner fire, which they kept burning continuously in their communities, making them the first to truly harness energy for warmth, crafting, and protection. Fluorsian folklore tells of their discovery of the "First Flame" in the heart of a fallen star, and their eternal vow to keep its essence burning within their people. In PRiMORDiUUS, Fluorsian characters will excel in crafting, alchemy, and energy-based abilities. Their small size makes them nimble and difficult to hit, while their knowledge of natural elements can restore what others might lose.
The
Aekinaa: Whisperers of the Void
Perhaps the most enigmatic of all proto-humanoid races were the Aekinaa, the legendary beings who dwelled in the deepest forests and darkest places. Little is known of their origins, for they left no records and spoke no language that others could understand. What is known comes from the whispered accounts of other races, describing beings who moved with supernatural silence, whose eyes reflected no light, and who seemed to communicate without words. Aekinaa folklore—what little has been gathered—suggests they were the first humanoids to walk between worlds, serving as mediators between the physical realm and the spirit world that existed parallel to it. In PRiMORDiUUS, playing as an Aekinaa means embracing the unknown, with abilities tied to shadow manipulation, spirit communication, and a connection to the ancient mysteries that predate all known life.
The RPG Revival You've Been Waiting For
PRiMORDiUUS: Age of ENDINGS isn't just another action RPG with a historical skin—it's a true revival of the tactical, choice-driven classics that defined a generation of gaming. We're bringing back the pause-and-play combat system that made games like Dragon Age: Origins, Baldur's Gate, and Mass Effect legendary, allowing you to issue precise commands to your party in the heat of battle or slow down time to make tactical decisions. Character creation will be deep and meaningful, with choices that truly impact how the world reacts to you. Our innovative Lore-on-Demand system will read aloud ancient myths, histories, and cultural details as you explore, creating an immersive experience that educates as it entertains. With branching narratives, moral ambiguity, and consequences that echo across generations, PRiMORDiUUS will remind you why tactical RPGs became classics in the first place.
