Aethora is a web-based tactical or strategy role playing game. Some of the game is text and battles are fought on a 2D grid - similiar to the old-school RPGs like Ultima or the SSI games like Pool of Radiance, or newer games like Final Fantasy Tactics. No plugins are required.Pioneers Week is the time when people all over Hopilus celebrate the anniversary of the discovery and colonization of their continent. They honor the struggle and the achievements of their forefathers, and due to this great attention to the past and its protagonists, the flow of ather itself shifts, temporarily, creating echoes of those who have lived and worked that walk around in places where they worked and acted.
You can find these echoes ghosts, as some call them, although you have been told they are rather weak echoes, and that there are more powerful, permanent and natural ones all over Hopilus. All towns have some old town square or town hall where the first colonists of that town appear, and on the roads you may be challenged by others, who are remembered for traveling, and like a challenge or who have failed, and are resentful for it.
Come and join in the festivities and test your mettle against the original pioneers of Hopilus!
