The Story
~

All begins with the Essence
All returns to the Essence
For hundreds of years, the ancient Salforians thrived to create some magical force. The solution came when they found a way to open an inter-dimensional rift and absorb souls from what they believe to be called the Essence. Without a host for these souls to embody in the mortal realm they were housed inside sacred crystals. Mighty Revenants appeared to defend the Essence but they to were sealed away in crystals. Eventually the ancient Salforians realized what they were doing was evil and they destroyed all methods of opening the rift.
Thousands of years later, the Qaros Empire finds an enigmatic crystal and their conquest to become a world super power flourishes.

I'm really interested in this project. I remember seeing the beginnings of this project a long time ago on other sites, but it has taken a drastic turn and I want more! You and your team should put out a "tech" demo in order to display the battle system, menu system, and any other systems that are in this project. Again, keep it up and keep it updated!
