Welcome friend!
I'm an artist by passion and trade, I make content of various forms. Most of the content I post here is related to The Vantonia Group & Project Vandir, our fantasy/history/scientific-fiction RPG server that has existed since 2012-2014 and still exists today in 2024. Though the PMC page is linked to our old server IP, we have since migrated to a private hosting service. Our server is a family, dedicated to breathing life into this world of player-driven lore. Many people have come and gone and left their mark in the history of our lore. We pride ourselves on having over a decade of content and staggering amounts of in-depth articles on our wiki, and every player has the opportunity to write their own lore, contribute-to and therefore shape the events of history in Project Vandir.
The player history of Project Vandir starts for new members with hundreds of years of history already accounted for, during the colonial era of our world, when the Belvish Empire arrived and founded the Cirikite colony of New Vanton. Over the in-lore decades, players have expanded New Vanton's territory, with colonists constantly and bravely pushing the borders, going to war, adventuring into the frontier, settling and repeating the process. On the Esparan side of things, the Esparan Empire arrived 200 years before New Vanton's founding, and thus has a head-start in the exploration of the continent, but they come from the Far East, and thus, their culture, technology, and history is completely different than Western society. They're a martial empire with a unique design, combining elements of Oriental Fantasy & Imperial Roman aesthetics, and a challenger to Western supremacy on the continent. Many other kingdoms and cultures call the continent of Vandir home, and legends tell of an ancient ascendant empire that brought peace and unity to the land during the '
Year of Darkness' through the use of magical artifacts... These very artifacts, if the myths are true, are somewhere out there, buried deep in the history of Vandir, perhaps literally, in the spiraling depths of a forgotten ruin... And even more legends still, speak of strange creatures, magical oddities, and paranormal events across the sparsely-inhabited frontiers.
Over the years, our gameplay and interactions have brought us to Startpos: Roleplay Time, New Vanton, 1562 (CURRENT RPT is 1574 as of 2024), with the cold war between East and West starting to come-to-head. Things are getting hot, cannons are being fired and muskets being aimed. Which side will you support? Will you fight for an empire, or will you forge your own path, exploring Vandir's ports and cities and building your name with your wealth? The Frontier of Vandir calls to wanderers and explorers, where untold dangers, mysteries, treasures, and discoveries await... The story is written by you, the player, and your choices affect the outcomes of world events. Come check us out! Join our team, and get in on the ground floor of an ambitious worldbuilding project with an entire decade of lore content and locations in-game to explore!
