THE SETTLERS OF GANARETH

           The first pionners will tread upon the land of Ganareth,
       choose their character, their Dark or Light alignment, and begin the reconquest
    of territories in Ganareth…
You will be the first conquerors to reclaim Ganareth, also you will be the first to build the fortresses, and the first to obtain the titles of nobility...

8881, The settlers of Ganareth, the prelude of the great epic that is Dark and Light begins!

This Dark and Light prelude will be free to access. Also a limited number of Dark and Light game keys will be available from November via pre-ordering, and this will give access to an inevitable pack of features. Keep your eyes open, Dark and Light, the genesis, is on its way!

Dark and Light – April 2006

Al Drifa is still standing and thriving despite the conflicts. Men and women can live there in safety. This harbour is the last stronghold of civilization, the arts and literature… Kingdoms have been taken, but not the hearts of the free peoples.
There is a rumour in the air, carried by birds in their flight, by insects in their chirring: Immortals have been seen in many places, bringing Dragons down with outstanding easiness. The rumour swells. Men and women come back, and with them, the teachings from the gods themselves, as the secret experiments taking place in the Zone finally give some result.
People discover magic and hope once again: with the help of gods, they can defeat Dragoon and his minions.
Everybody now feels war is coming to an end; Dragons may even be pushed back out of the first kingdoms that people will soon retake. But an even greater peril looms at the horizon… An invisible, unexpected threat: the people themselves. Today divided, tomorrow torn apart, with nothing to stop their will of power and conquest once their fears have vanished.
Competition has started in advance, a vicious spiral in which all want to enforce their own vision of magic and the world. Not really Dark or Light yet, these people are seeking their new identity as the War draws its last breath.

The year is 8881 and soon, a new age will come. The will of the Dragons are getting weaker, while the peoples grow stronger.

You will learn the teachings and kill Dragoon.
You will recapture the territories and bring civilization back to them.
You will choose to belong to the Dark or Light.
You will rebuild an economic system after 8000 years of strife that has uterly destroyed it to the ground.
Only the bravest will be tomorrow’s legends and brand their name upon the history book of the world. If you are lucky enough to be a part of these first fighters, you can set the future of Ganareth...
