This Month I introduce to you Baijan, Obeiron, Drakan and Vodus???
Baijan the Region of Earth. The stronghold of the world.
Obeiron the Region of Wind. A continent in the sky.
Drakan the Region of Darkness shrouded in "evil".
Vodus the Spirit Region. Very few have been to it. Even fewer know what it looks like. They say that "it" exists here. Those with great power will find this place to be welcoming. Those without...will be punished with great prejudice...
As promised this month I will provide a little more insight into the games features, lore, and what to expect.

These beings are the "deities" humans draw their magical power from.
Each Player in Rune'D Spirits is able to follow a deity. By following a deity a player will gain negative and positive benefits. No Deity will outclass another in terms of the benefits given. Players will be free to chose their alignment to a deity as they please and change them as they please.
In Rune'D Spirits There are a total of 8 Realms That exist within the world. Of these 8 realms or regions 6 can be aligned with. Your deity you hold allegiance too can affect your character depending on the realm you chose to align with.
When a player creates a character they may then Align with any deity they choose at any time they chose however, their will be repercussions for leaving a deity. Meaning you can choose to become a player who is aligned with the Deity Shalon of the Flames. Whilst your geographical alignment or "Sect" is Fluidia. Meaning you draw power from shalon but you live as a member of the region of Fluidia which is outside of Shalon's domain.
What of the wild life? Where do the creatures gain their power? The answer lies in the "earth" itself. Creatures that dwell in each region consecrate their power from the very topography that exists in the area they dwell. For example this creature known as a Grime.
In another region it may be heavily influenced by Water elemental mana and be blue but in the Region of "Obeiron" it absorbs Wind Elemental Mana and has a Green pigment and is known as a Silph Grime.
So, you have established a connection with a deity? There are creatures about but how do you combat them? Whats to stop this Silph Grime from taking your life? Well maybe your weapon! Can help?
Luckily in Rune'D Spirits players Players can utilize different types of weapons to combat their foes.
The weapon types are as follows;
Swords,Shields,Chains,M.A.G.U.Ns,Orbs and Staves in that order from left to right.
All weapon types are useable by all class types.
