WHO WE ARE & WHERE WE COME FROM:
We were once a highly respected group of role players in the online game World of Warcraft (back during the early years when reputation mattered). We are best known as the RP guild Wretched Souls from the realm Earthen Ring. The story we are presenting here is nothing like the meager storylines of Azeroth. The world of Arthavia is, in actuality, the rebirth of another world that predates Azeroth altogether. Its original name was Aron, and it existed only on paper during a tabletop AD&D gaming session back in the late 1980s. The paper maps hung on the den wall of our (late, great) DM, Paul Clark Jr. The regions of the world were drawn on graph paper, one sheet at a time. But as life would have it. We all took to our families and sacrificed time for the needs of our growing children. The world of Aron drifted away piece by piece into oblivion. But the shadow of it remained dormant in my mind for years.
Our history- Continued.
...It was gone but never forgotten. A couple of years before our DM passed away, I took the liberty to go and visit him ( never knowing it would be the last time). The years had passed so that he didn't even recollect who I was until I told him. We spoke briefly about the old days, and he made mention how he hoped to one day write the adventures we all shared in the world of Aron. But alas--he passed. However, I never forgot the wonderment that his world brought, and so when it came time that the RP spark in WOW was fading fast... I decided to reimagine our characters and start anew. And I reimagined the world of Aron-- now named Arthavia. All of our works and deeds contained within this site are solely dedicated to Paul Clark Jr and to all of our (online) comrades who have touched our lives and encouraged us to forge Wretched souls and the rebirth of our new world. ~ Lady Syvbia
