The
Saga of Ryzom is an immense story that takes place in the future … our
future. It begins on the living planet of Atys, which grows and evolves
on its own, sending tendrils into the sky and covering the lands with
new life. Explore this lush and vibrant world and work towards
unlocking its secrets. The Saga of Ryzom is the mystery of a forgotten
past and an unknown future, history has yet to be written in this
world, so it could very well be you doing the writing.
You will be a member of one of the four
civilizations of homins, humanoids uniquely evolved for the bizarre
organic environment of Atys. Each homin civilization has its own
weaknesses and strengths, its own ambition and challenges:
…
The Fyros are bold warriors from the deep and deadly deserts who wage a ceaseless struggle against the Dragon.
…
The Matis are proud heirs of the old Monarchy from the haunted woods who seek to restore their lost empire.
…
The Tryker are denizens of the idyllic lakelands, known for being anarchic and unpredictable.
…
The Zorai are feared mystics from the dark and hidden jungles who zealously serve the living planet.
Key in-game Factions
Devastated by an apocalyptic war with the
insectoid Kitin, and manipulated by the powerful and enigmatic factions
known as the Karavan and the Kami, the homins are struggling to rebuild
their civilization. Yet while trying to rebuild their past glory, the
homin civilizations will have to see for themselves if they can keep
control of their own future… your future.
The story behind the Saga of Ryzom began
long before your arrival on Atys. A part of the game is dedicated to
discovering important information about this …forgotten… past.
Gathering this type of information will allow you to discover a brand
new vision of the world. This vision is the key to the ‘end game’ of
The Saga of Ryzom.
Enter the political corridors of the Saga
of Ryzom and ultimately, you will be able to grow in power, change the
evolution of the story and modify the world. Discover and understand
the agendas of the various NPC Factions and decide for yourself the
Faction that has your loyalty and which does not. And then seek the
power to push the story forward where you want it to go…

Like other massively multiplayer games, a
live development team will continue to work on The Saga of Ryzom after
launch to implement regular patch updates to game, adding improvements
such as new missions and events (with a live event team). Additional
updates will contain new playable races, lands, creatures, skills, and
actions, allowing characters to progress further into the saga. In
time, players may even be able to leave Atys entirely, heading to
places vastly different than their primitive beginning world.
