Jonric: You recently released a rather substantial piece of game lore entitled The Aspect War. For those who aren't up to reading the whole thing, what's it about? What are the highlights, and how did the conflict come to have this name?

Rob Adams: Its essentially about how the dragons changed to their current forms in-game; i.e. the Monkey Dragon, Insect Dragon, Bird Dragon, etc. The humans weren't the first civilised race on the world of Fortitude; preceding them was a race known as the Ancient Masters, who travelled to the world in search of sanctuary and a cure to a strange disease that had infected them. The cure the dragons gave to them reacted with the disease and mutated them into evil creatures that attempted to enslave the world. Managing to capture the dragons, their power eventually got the better of them leading to a rebellion headed by the newly escaped dragons. In the ensuing battle, the dragons defeated the Ancient Masters, but were altered into their animal forms.
