P.O.D and other various articles!

A wee bit about the P.O.D just to show how it works roughly.

When a subject enters the P.O.D, he selects from a stockpile of memories.the memories and histories of the selected character as well are loaded into a custom default map which is redesigned to resemble the players choice in era and location.

for instance -

If the player was to choose the Templar class, the history of that Templar would be loaded in.

The architecture of the Templar's era will replace the default mapping to give a more authentic and realistic feel.
sound from a large data-bank will also be loaded in and matched up with the Templar's memories in order to maintain the realism in place. The sense of touch and smell will also be loaded in from a data-bank but will tap into the neuro-centers of the players brain in order to simulate the sensation of touch and smell.

As a side effect of the new technologies of the P.O.D, there is a certain small bug that may present its self, not only do the memories of the selected character get loaded in, Certain notable figures such as enemies and allies may be loaded in as well.These memories aren't supposed to be loaded in, they might never present them selves within the Somnium but be wary if they do they almost always serve to divert the player from his true goal.

The lay of the land!


The area will consist of One city, five towns and various villages, this will not change no matter what era you enter, the only difference will be in architecture

It may be noted however that the villages are dynamic in the sense that they can be burned down by a group of roaming bandits and rebuilt somewhere else over time. they are the most affected by change.

So this is just a general base for enemies more will be added.
