Akhena: Age of Evil

Akhena: Age of Evil is a large open-world JRPG with a western "CRPG" atmosphere and story. The primary gameplay loop being the exploration of a vast and dangerous world with a relatively rich history, and a light to moderate dose of "magik", yet rooted in gritty plausible realism. The story and characters are inspired by classic books like A Song of Ice and Fire and The First Law series, where morality is nuanced and defined by cultural bias. And "evil" is merely a manifestation of duty, entitlement, or wayward good intentions.

Akhena's brutal history is filled with cultural distrust and vicious racism the Free War put a sharp end to the ancient kingdoms of Akhena. For over 1000 years the mighty Kitmera (anthropomorphic felines) have been the indisputable rulers of the continent. The Word of God, the sacred religious texts, declares that the Kitmera and their loyal nobility are the anointed guardians over the continent and all it's harmera (human-like) inhabitants.
