The Five Pillars
The Five Pillars is a game where you play the role of a powerful mage controlling your own kingdom. The aim of the game is to develop and expand your kingdom better than any of the other players. You start out with a little patch of land, and your task will be to convert this little country into a huge kingdom. As you create your character, you must choose a magical alignment for it. Five different alignments exist in this world and every one of those has its strengths and weaknesses. You can be a nature mage commanding huge beasts to protect your forests from getting cut down. Perhaps you want to wield the awesome power of the ever raging desert storms into building a powerful empire. You may be interested in the mysteries of the north in the form of elemental magic. Swamps are filled with deadly insects and the practice of dark arts. Or maybe you will be a mountain mage expertising in devastating spells that will crush your enemies? The available magic alignments are Desert magic, Mountain magic, Swamp magic, Elemental magic or Nature magic. Whichever you choose, it should reflect on the style you like to play.
