Adellion is a MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game) set in a vast, three dimensional world. It is being developed by the UK company HonourBound Ltd. The staff is primarily volunteer based, this most likely accounts for its delayed release time. It has been in production since 1998. It has been featured in several magazines and has several fansites.

Adellion will focus on roleplaying more so than other MMORPG's to date have. It prefers realistic simulation over fast-paced gameplay. To attempt to achive this the game will feature permadeath and will not contain any magic or supernatural animals. Instead it will focus on community building, tiny plots, politics and player interaction.

It is currently being published by Alchemic Dream.

Adellion has only a single species; humans. To achieve the variety found in other games, humanity is divided into six cultures; the Salanians, the Tarians, the Dalmites, the Drulons, the Sakoians and the Aethans. Each of these is original and has its own customs and rituals, as well as its own cultural leader, a player who will lead the culture in the game. Initially cultural leaders are likely to be staff members, however it is hoped that this role will be handed over to players as the game matures.

The Salanians are a proud people who thrive in eastern Aryiure's fertile lands. They lack few resources, their cities are plentiful and their land span a large area.

The Tarians settle themselves in the great mountains in western Aryiure but recent conflicts have made them restless and vengeful towards the east.

The Dalmites dwell deep in the larger forests of Aryiure. They live in harmony with the forests and protect them with their lives.

The Drulons are a deeply religious people, who inhabit Reitroum, the swamps of Aryiure. Their devotion and their strength make them some of the finest warriors of Adellion.

The Sakoians have established themselves in the vast desert of western Aryiure. They are experienced traders and the desert is rich in gold.

The Aethans came recently to Aryiure and established a colony on a nearby island and have made themselves known through acts of piracy.
