Oltr

Once upon a time, the Empire was locked in a merciless war against the Witch-King, who was the high priest of the Father-of-all-Monsters. The Empire was victorious, but at the cost of its unity and, in the end, its very existence. After an era of imperial peace, the land was plunged into a dark age, filled with fragmented domains, ceaseless quarrels, malevolent religions, ruin, and sorrow. However, there was one imperial tradition that did not disappear. From within their fortresses and strongholds, the Rangers tirelessly pursue their mission of watching over the inhabitants of the former Empire, explore the wilderness, unite communities, fight monsters, and recover the Emperors treasures so that one day, hope may be born anew. Now its your turn to join the ranks of these brave Rangers!Oltr!*
*Oltree! The Rangers rallying cry

In this cooperative game, players are braveRangerswho assist he people of a satrapy – an administrative province – that their hierarchy has put them in charge of. They must rebuild a Fortress to ensure the safety and tranquility of the inhabitants.

This assignment would be easy to carry out if external events did not get in the Rangers way. A story, called theChronicle, will unfold throughout the game, adding new situations that the Rangers will have to deal with.

Along the way, the Rangers will experienceIncidents, short scenes in which they will be able to win fame for themselves (or not). They will also have to assist the communities of the Satrapy when Problems cause them danger, and they must face all kinds of unforeseenEvents.

If they can stay the course, while keeping thePrestige and Defense of the Fortressintact, they will reach the final chapter of the Chronicle and can end the tale. For a happy ending, they must complete their Assignment to the best of their ability.
