"The Symbiosis of c'Atheria: Caru" is our first project telling the story of a terrified guy, not knowing where, who or even what he is. Chased by obscure creatures he flees right into the destroyed ruin of Nortem, the secret and dark asylum of the Va'reh, and soon has to search a way out of the hell he entered of his own accord. Terrible creatures and tricky puzzles block his way and that lurking danger of an invisble enemy tortures his mind. But also there is something in the deep catacombs of Nortem invoking strange visions and unlocking powerful skills in our protagonist as well as the question: what the hell is he?!
This map illustrates the north of c'Atheria where our first game takes place and most of the creatures you see and stories you hear come from.
In fact our game is almost only located on that small island above Rumah, where the secret shrine of the Va'reh - Nortem - is placed.
c'Atheria in its entirety is home for as many different races and tribes of the smallest creatures up to giant beings all with their own cultures and religions.
One thing however all their beliefs have in common: the Ether! Surrounding everything in the material world the Ether is a mystical - you could say parallel world existing alongside the material world.
Special gifted characters of all races allways were able to somehow access the Ether in many different kinds and so were able to use or concentrate its power in their very own way.
