Kayra Online
TBA
Kayra Online is a MMORPG based on Turkic mythology. The game currently has no English integration and is only available in Turkish. The game will be entering a closed beta near the end of October.
As Kayra Online is based on Turkic mythology it has a deep background story leading into the games world. I have tried to summarize, with Google translate, the main points of the games universe but likely did a poor job. The full backstory is available on the games website in Turkish. Kayra was a demigod whose greed and ambition was endless. Kayra attempted to destroy and replace the gods but was defeated and sent down to the world as punishment instead of being killed. Other demigods were sent as Watchers to inform the gods of Kayra's actions but were not to act on their own otherwise. Wanting revenge, Kayra attempted to create an army resulting in 4 races imbued with a portion of Kayra's own power. This power became the goddess of each race, protecting and guiding them at times. Dwarfs with earth, Elves with water, Orcs with fire and Humans with air. But these new races weren't just given power. Kayra's anger, greed and dominant nature had been passed on as well. They weren't willing to be controlled. Kayra feared these new creations and attempted to destroy them but Kayra's power couldn't destroy the portion of itself given to the races. Kayra began creating more creatures to stay in control. Ancient and powerful, these creatures could not be stopped and fought among each other as well as the 4 races. Many creatures created during this time never became known to others and remain hidden throughout the world. During this age of struggle Kayra died. This lead to a divide among the Watchers, with the one who discovered Kayra dead being blamed by the other Watchers and punished by the gods due to their known history and hatred for Kayra. After Kayra's death, the races warred for control against each other for centuries growing more isolated till their goddesses urged them towards peace. The kings of each race met, and though none had any intention of associating with each other afterward, a peace treaty was made and honored. The Dwarves eventually unearthed a new threat, an Abra. An ancient and deadly creature from a deep underground lake. This lead to a union between the races that lasted long after the Abra and many later dangers were defeated. Centuries passed and Humans became the dominate race, with kingdoms reaching every corner of the world. The other races and their history slowly forgotten. With the death of the King and his sons, the human kingdom split along two ideologues with those who didn't fit in either group hiding from the resulting wars.
