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.
