Core Principles

Core Principles is my own personal IP that I've written and developed. It's an open world RPG set in the fantasy world of Adhalsin, a world where the supernatural is simply natural. Even after the great war between the races was put to an end, the flames of rebellion still exist and there are those who cannot accept the world as it is. You must summon your allies to save the races on the brink of war, and uncover a conspiracy leading all the way back to the High Council of Deilvar, the nation run by demonkind.
