What else does Vellum have to Offer?
Geopolitical Roleplay
Vellum doesn’t just cater to character roleplay! Using the Towny plugin, players can form towns and nations to wage war with each other. Will you be a ruthless conqueror that wishes to expand the borders of their nation? Or do you wish to be a diplomatic mastermind that finds strength in allies? The choice is up to you!
Custom Lore
Tired of lore that copies Tolkein’s work? Had enough of simplistic good and evil background nations? Well, we have something just for you! Vellum’s lore is an original piece of writing that is easy to understand. The world is set in a medieval setting with some fantasy elements added to spice up the lore.
Here is a snippet of our lore:
In the wake of a massive race war between the humans and the Thrali, tensions have never been higher. The humans, with their superior technology, among which include the vaunted, and deadly, Fluxbow, fight an endless war against the Thrali, whose strength and power allowed them to keep the humans at bay.
However, no war is truly sustainable. After 20 years of fighting, the resources of the land have been bled dry. Quartz, a necessary resource for the creation of the Flux Bows and their power source, have been mined till none left could be mined.
Luckily, or perhaps unluckily, rumors of a new continent to the far west have sprung up. Of a land ripe with resources for the taking. It was an opportunity. For those who sought refuge from the war. For those whose desires could no longer be satiated in a war-torn land. Even those who labored to fuel the ongoing war. All began to congregate in the new land of Ephemera.
The full lore of the server can be found in a google document. A link is located on the discord server.
