I’ve been trying to find something about any background information regarding New World’s story, history, and narrative.
So far, I’ve gleaned that we are in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, on a mysterious island, with a mysterious energy. With an ancient race that is now undead.
Mysterious island, mysterious power . . . so, we’re on the ruined island of what modern people call “Atlantis” maybe? 'Cause that’d be a neat story! Aeternum, obviously, because everything lives eternally due to the mysterious power of azoth only found on that island. The mysterious power that brought the collapse of the ancient kingdom (the myth of Atlantis mentions it feel due to hubris, I believe).
The azoth also was able to discern between those pure of heart and those filled with greed. That’s why new players don’t turn into Lost, and we’re fighting the ones who did.
Anyhoo. I like the Atlantis idea. Maybe. idk. I’m just a rando.
