Jonric: To build on what we learned last time about the overall setting in which Archlord takes place, what can you tell us about the backstory and story elements?

Tim 'Ktat' Hodges: As I said last time, ArchLord takes place in the lush fantasy world of Chantra. The backstory of this continent tells of two immense heroes - one Orc, one Human - who traveled together in search of a legendary weapon. But on arriving at their destination, they discovered not one, but two powerful weapons. These were in fact two of the five great Archons, the rest of which had fallen into the hands of other heroes around the great continent. A much more detailed account of the ArchLord history will be appearing regularly on the official website, so be sure to keep checking for more information.

The story element will be ever present throughout the game, and will be reflected in quests that players embark on as well as the ArchLord system itself. Players will find themselves becoming an integral part of the history of Chantra and its five Archons.
