ELDORSign inTHE ELDOR GUIDE / RIVALS & STORIES
A World That Remembers.
Stories emerge from the places you explore, the enemies you encounter, and the adventures players undertake together. Eldor is designed to remember them.
THE GAME VISION · This guide describes the intended finished-game experience. Test builds contain a smaller selection of features. Images show gameplay, interfaces, and weapon models supplied by the creator.
THE STORIES YOU CREATE
Your adventure.
Eldor’s history.
Explore, discover, remember
Your map begins unexplored. As you travel through Eldor, build a personal record of meaningful places and discoveries. Keep notes, remember locations worth returning to, and share information with other adventurers.
Finding something does not always mean understanding it. A forgotten place may become meaningful only after exploring somewhere else, hearing something new, or comparing discoveries with another player.
Form expeditions
Form a persistent group for an adventure of your own choosing. Hunt dangerous creatures, explore a dungeon, escort a caravan, search for treasure, patrol dangerous territory, or simply see where the road takes you.
There are no predefined expedition objectives telling you what to accomplish. Discoveries, encounters, victories, deaths, and recovered treasures can become part of your expedition’s history. Your adventure becomes the story.
Enemies can become rivals
An enemy that defeats an adventurer and survives may become something more: a persistent, named rival with a history of its own.
A creature that was once another danger in the wilderness might become known for killing travelers and surviving encounters. Rivals inhabit the shared world. They are not private quest targets waiting for one player’s revenge. Someone else may find your rival first.
Listen to the rumors
News travels. Taverns, travelers, merchants, guards, and notices may carry rumors about events in their region: a dangerous creature along a road, a discovery in the wilderness, or a notorious individual nearby.
Rumors are not quests. They may be incomplete, imprecise, or outdated. Listen to what people are saying and decide for yourself which leads deserve investigation.
Weapons can build a history
A crafted weapon can become more than another piece of equipment. It can remember the creatures slain, victories against other players, and encounters with Eldor’s greatest threats.
Over time, a weapon may earn names associated with its deeds. Those names are cosmetic. The history belongs to the weapon itself: if it changes hands, the story goes with it.
Items can have stories too
Important durable items may carry provenance beyond their statistics. Who created something, who carried it, where it has been, and whether it accompanied an expedition or played a role in an important event can become part of its history.
An object can be interesting both for what it does and for where it has been—and who once possessed it.
Follow the evidence
Tracks, blood, disturbed surroundings, remains, and camps can reveal recent activity. A skilled observer may learn more from these signs than another player.
What passed through here? How recently? Which direction did it travel? And is following it actually a good idea? The evidence gives you something to investigate.
History is made by players
Great expeditions, important discoveries, notorious enemies, major battles, famous weapons, and other exceptional events may become part of Eldor’s wider recorded history.
These stories endure because something important actually happened. Players create the moments the world remembers.
Knowledge has value
Eldor will not always tell you exactly where to go, what you have missed, or what every discovery means. Explore, keep records, listen to rumors, share information, compare discoveries, and follow evidence.
Remember where you have been. Something you dismissed hours ago may turn out to be far more important than you realized.
The next chapter is yours.
The world of Eldor has a history. Players will help write what comes next.
