About Klatch

 — "Bugger all else but sand in Klatch." -- Fred Colon

(For the Creator only pages - click here)

Klatch is the huge continent hubwards of the Circle Sea, from Tacticum on the El Kinte peninsula to the north, down to Istanzia to the south and everything west of there. You'll probably be most familiar with the city of Djelibeybi, but the terrains surrounding Djelibeybi and all the sand therein is Klatch too.

We are currently doing a big push on our principal project, Ephebe; which has been in development for a very long time. Other projects in the pipeline include large mythic monsters to fight, and more detail into the terrains.

Klatch is currently seeking for enthusiastic writers and coders to join the team. Perhaps you would relish in the opportunity of writing descriptions for the beautiful coastal city of Ephebe, or maybe you fancy the challenge of coding the city's famous labyrinth. No experience is necessary for these roles, although experience of creative writing, coding, or collaborative coding would certainly be handy.

Successful Excavation Mission In The Desert - Wed Jul 13 22:51:13 2011

An excavation mission exploring the desert have stumbled across the ruins of an old combat arena, a structure once thought to have been lost forever under the sands. Upon hearing this news a team of enthusiastic explorers from many different nations have travelled out to help get the place back in working order. Whilst much is still to be done, it has been reported that it is at least ready for brave warriors to engage in battle with each other in, and an open invite stands those who feel they have what it takes to become a champion. The arena is said to lie somewhere between the two great cities of Tsort and Ephebe. A couple of Klatchian Foreign Legion Soldiers have also mentioned that they have seen it on a patrol near their camp, but forgot precisely where. It is rumoured that a travelling merchant by the name of TMTTL Dublar has also taken up residence there, hoping to sell an exotic array of fine meats to the unsuspecting crowds which he feels sure are bound to lie just around the next sand dune.


Further Soldiers Changes - Wed Jun 1 19:45:34 2011

A follow-up from my previous post about Djelibeybi only containing Djelian soldiers now. You may find that the soldiers use different weapons, tactics, and are, in some circumstances, stronger than before. Enjoy!


Djelian Soldiery - Mon May 30 16:32:40 2011

There has been a mass exodus of non-resident alien soldiers from Djelibeybi. Soldier-spotters have spied them wandering aimlessly through the desert wastes - either towards their native lands or, alternatively, towards the stomachs of any hungry desert lions which might happen to be in the vicinity. (Translation: There are now only Djelian soldiers in Djelibeybi. )
