About This Game

A TRUE ROLEPLAY EXPERIENCE

AEGIS Kingdoms is a living, breathing world built for roleplayers by veteran roleplayers. Every choice, action, and interaction unfolds through in-character storytelling, collaborative adventures, and player-driven narratives. Here, your character’s journey is defined by your decisions, alliances, and roleplay—not button mashing, zone grinding, dailies or anything like that. There are no traditional combat mechanics.

GAME MASTERS AND DICE

Game Masters (GMs) guide the world, narrate on behalf of NPCs, and oversee situations including combat. They lead monthly episodic events for players to participate in. Dice rolling is used to resolve outcomes in a fair and immersive way, ensuring your choices carry meaningful consequences in the story.

EPISODIC CONTENT

Content (from quests and adventures, to new monsters, mounts and more) is released episodically. These can range from time-limited journeys, to entirely new continents. Temporary political alliances, to major, terrain changing updates. The episodic release cycle allows for fresh, intriguing and new content available for both veteran and fresh characters.

COMMUNITY AND SAFETY

There is absolutely no tolerance for toxicity, cliques, or unwanted behaviour. We've been there, done that, got the t-shirt. For too long this behaviour has plagued roleplaying environments, spoiling it for everyone. So we're taking a stand.

AEGIS Kingdoms fosters a wholesome, creative, and supportive environment, encouraging collaboration, storytelling, and fun for all players. Our rules strictly prohibit toxic, clique behaviour, which will result in account termination if broken.

ACCESS AND MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS

The game is free to download on Steam, but requires a monthly subscription to participate. Account registration is manually approved by our staff to safeguard the community from disruptive players and ensure that every participant can enjoy a high-quality roleplay experience. Approval is required before a game account & sub can be purchased.

NOTE: There are NO other types of "micotransactions" present in AEGIS Kingdoms. There is no premium currency, ability to buy land or characters, lootboxes or anything like that.

STORY PREMISE

The Realm of Men: Sor'res, has been scorched by the murder of King Arthur at the hands of his best friend Lancelot: the Dark Knight. Usurping the Pendragon Throne which rightfully belongs to Arthur's young son Percival, Constantine, Arthur's half brother, has waged a 25 year war forcefully amalgamating the human kingdoms into his Grand Empire.

Fuelled by Dark Aether granted to him by a malefic force, Constantine has set his sights on the forgotten continent of Ophelia, rumoured to have an artifact so powerful that it prevents the evil force he serves from leave her infernal dimension. Guided by a clandestine cult who worships this malefic force, Constantine seeks to find the artifact so he can release his master from her prison and usher in an age of darkness.

Having mobilised the Grand Imperial Navy, many of the waters have been blockaded, especially near Ophelia. The Navy have been instructed to hunt any and every vessel that dared to sail on the sea, with limited trade routes allowed for the independent Southern Kingdoms.
