Lore

So I kinda want to write a fanfic of Wynn, but I am insufficiently informed on the lore. Any thread page that displays it all?

 

I don't know if there are any threads. Search 'Lore' and use the 'guide' tag.
If you can't find anything, here's where to start (it's all on the wiki):
1 This is the summarization of the Wynn province on the Wiki and provides some good base information. It might be a little outdated, though (I checked and it didn't seem to be)
2 Summarization for Gavel
3 Summarization for Corkus
4 Summarization for Dern
5 Summarization for Fruma
You should also check out the pages for Relos' Library and Llevigar's Library, as they provide more insight into the beginnings/current states of each province.
Check out the (old) Bob lore page as well as the Twain page. The quests 'Fate of the Fallen,' 'Studying the Corrupt,' 'Wynnexcavation Site B (and really the whole Wynnexcavation storyline),' 'The Realm of Light,' and 'Memory Paranoia' are all worth checking out. Most of the discoveries (especially the ones involving Bak'al) are worth seeing. Icebreaker's video (look up 'Icebreakergamer' on youtube) on Gale and Ohms as well as the Gale and Ohms thread (made by Selvut) provide insight on one of the more interesting (imo) stories in the game. Not to say that there aren't quite a lot of other interesting stories, though. I'd also recommend taking a look at the sealed letters (found on the wiki). They're (basically) not canon anymore, but they're worth a read. Other than that, just play through the game and ask questions about things you want to know more about.

Edit: I'd actually stay away from Memory Paranoia as it's a fantastic quest and one that I don't think should be spoiled.

 

VERY outdated and everything here i could probs explain in far better detail

 

so?
I mentioned that they were old and it's not like that's a comprehensive guide to all the lore or anything
it's just a start.

 

ok explain it then

 

If you don't feel like reading a lot, I'll sum up the provinces' lore as short as a can.

THIS COVERS A LOT OF LORE SO IF YOU WANT TO FIND IT OUT ON YOUR OWN DONT READ THIS

Wynn: Humans from Fruma emigrated to here, and strong forts like Ragni and Troms were built. The port city Nemract was built as well. Emeralds were the currency of the province, and they could be obtained at a mine. However, one day, the minrs discovered a portal, where they found an abundance of emeralds, more than the mine provided. Unfortunately, one fateful day, the miners dug too deep, unleashing the Corruption. This time period is now known as "After Portal," which is the time most of this world's history takes place.

The Corruption caused havoc and fear across the whole province. At some time, a human entered the portal, and became corrupted, and is now known as Bak'al. Bak'al's mind was strained from the corruption, and wanted to destroy everything.

Then, Marius Twain gathered four children born with magic who were once feared, and raised them. The four "brothers" were now heroes as they protected the province. Their names were Rickeo, Dwendle, Theorick, and Mael. All of them died at different times, and none of them are alive today.

As the years progressed, the province suffered more. A huge hoard, bigger than anything Wynn has seen before, was attacking Ragni. A pregnant woman was hiding in the sewers, along with other people. The woman died during childbirth, but her son was adopted and named Robert, who became more commonly known as Bob. Bob trained to master all 4 classes, and, when he was trained enough, he was able to drive Bak'al away from Ragni, and Bak'al hasn't been seen since.

Since then, the province started to recover, with the Villagers' arrival and no more Bak'al sightings.

(This doesnt include a lot of wynn's lore such as detailed lore on the twains, detailed lore on bob, and other notable characters, such as Slykaar and Hashr. I'll just leave that for you to find out on your own.)

Gavel: Gavel is the home to the Elves, a species that didn't believe in greed. However, it's also the home to the Villagers, a species that became more greedy over time. One day, a thunderbolt ruptered a spot in a northern forest, and out came a worm. That forest is now called the Dark Forest, and the worm supposedly traveled across all North-western gavel, decaying the land. No Villager knows for sure what happened, but little do they know that there's a land that influences their home. The Realm of Light regulates the light in Gavel, but when the Villagers got greedy, corruption was released in the Realm of Light, infecting Orphion, the physical representation of the realm. This is what caused the decay, and the light in Gavel could completely disappear if the corruption keeps spreading through the Realm of Light.

This lore isn’t as interesting because Wynn’s lore got more up-to-date with the most recent update, but Gavel has not, other than lore from World discoveries.

There are other events happening in Gavel as well, such as the Dwarf-Dogun war, but I won't explain it, since there's no real lore on it yet.

Corkus: The Corkians are a group of separatists from Fruma, who escaped Fruma and settled on this island. On the island, they encountered the Avos, who welcomed them, but, as they discovered their electro magical powers, they created machines that were destructive to the environment, and the Corkians took more land for themselves. The Avos now live on a mountain, ill-suiting to where humans can live.

Then, corkus wanted recongnition. None of the provinces reconized them as a province, and so to help Wynn and Gavel with their issues, they created The Factory. The Factory could mass-produce an army of mechs within a short time. However, the mechs started to act strangely, so therefore the factory had to be shut down. Somehow, the Antikythera Supercomputer, the brain of the Factory, re-activated itself and created more rusty “despermechs.”

It’s also important to mention that there are some people on Corkus who want more tourists and envoys on their island, but others who think that inviting outsiders will “corrupt” their land.

There’s also Dern and Fruma, but I won’t explain them because little is known about them, being that they’re not released yet.
