Beta - Test (At this time Alpha - Test)
The medieval Europe and Asia cultures coexist in the Ancient Tales fantasy world. It is filled with magic and different technologies. During beta testing, an apocalypse occurs, many cities become abandoned and dilapidated. You will need to restore forgotten technologies both from the time of the Alves, and after their heyday.
Race of alvs
Alves were experts in magic and a driving force of the whole magical civilization. However, that power became their undoing. Their number was low due to the low birth rate. The success of the Alves made the other races envious, and the kingdom of magical inventors was outnumbered and destroyed. After that Ruquinjé, Six Toppling Princesses, appeared.
Races

This race is similar to humans in the real world. Humans in Ancient Tale appear with a variety of skin, eye, and hair colors. Their ability stats are well balanced, making them the most commonly-chosen race.
Dwarves
Dwarves are a humanoid race with a strong physical build. They can be usually met in the mountains, and often become ironsmiths, miners, fighters. Dwarves are characterized by high stamina and magical resistance.
