GameSpot: What exactly is ArchLord? So far, we know it's an online role-playing game. So how do you describe ArchLord to your friends?

Tim Hodges: ArchLord features a great mix of traditional Western fantasy gameplay, but with the unique hook of one player being able to rise to the position of ArchLord. The game has amazing visuals, salient gameplay, and some stunning in-game music that really brings the world of Chantra to life!

GS: Tell us more about Chantra. What can you tell us about the history of the world?

TH: ArchLord takes place in the lush fantasy continent of Chantra. The backstory of Chantra tells of two immense heroes, an orc and a human, who traveled together in search of a legendary weapon. But on arriving at their destination, they discovered not one, but two powerful weapons. However, these were just two of the five available archons, of which the other three had found themselves spread across the rest of the Chantra continent. This is just a snippet of the highly engaging and involving ArchLord lore. If you head on over to the official ArchLord Web site, you will find more detailed accounts of the lore.
