Zoria: Age of Shattering News

Hey everyone!

[h3]We have raised over 35 000 euros! With this amazing accent, our Kickstarter campaign ends. [/h3]



Firstly, we want to say "Thank you for your trust!" to everyone who backed the project. You are amazing, and because of you, we know that what we do is worthy! We are almost at the end of the 5-year Zoria development journey, and we are thrilled to reach the destination with you!



It's been a productive month, full of dev diaries, cross promos, and leaks of what will happen with Zoria soon. The upcoming months will be filled with further updates, diaries, and overall information on what's coming up for the game. But let's focus on the closest time frame. We are planning to give our backers access to the extended demo we promised in a week! This will be completely new content, never released to the public; there will be two huge locations, one main questline, and side quests. We're already excited for you to check it out.

We want to invite you to Zoria's discord server, where you can chat and share your feedback directly with us. Of course, feel free to reach us via our Social Media channels, comments, or discussion threads on Steam as well! We thrive on the feedback and want Zoria to be your best possible experience!



Once again, thank you! We can't express how grateful we are for your support!

See you soon!
Team Zoria

[h2]That's right. We reached our goal![/h2]

It was a crazy month, but we made it thanks to your trust in the project!


However, we are not stopping. There are 30 hours left, and we have a Stretch Goal to unlock - a character creator.



Time is short, but with joint efforts, we can do it. Spread the word, and Zoria will move to the next level.

Hey everyone!

[h2]This was a busy month! We have raised over 30 thousand euros until this day![/h2]



These last 48 hours are extremely important; we're very close to reaching the goal, so share the information about the campaign!

Let's recap what we have in our rewards (depending on the pledge tier):

• Access to the extended demo - after the campaign ends, backers will receive the extended build, which will cover additional quests taking place on the new land added to the existing demo (2-3 hours more of content)
  
• Digital bestiary - the carefully crafted document with tips and information on the dangerous creatures you'll encounter on the journey
  
• Digital soundtrack
• Your name in the Credits
• Exclusive Discord role

and even:

• Your own sidequest
• Your name in the Hall of Fame

at the highest tiers!



We can do this! The above rewards are waiting with multiple features and improvements we have planned and prepared for you! Adventurers, unite, invite friends to the team, and let's do our best to experience the best possible journey in the land of Zoria!

Cheers!

Zoria's Kickstarter campaign is slowly coming to an end. That means you have nine more days to express your support for the project and thus make Zoria an even more complex game.

Thanks to our loyal backers, our project is already 68% funded, and the secret goal of a new class - Nightwarden has been unlocked. What else is waiting? We can't reveal exactly, but one of the features will allow you to customize your character. 😎

Funding from the Kickstarter campaign will help us enrich our game, but we also want to reward your faith in the project with some benefits. These include (depending on the pledge tier):

• access to the extended demo - after the campaign ends, backers will receive the extended build, which will cover additional quest taking place on the new land added to the existing demo (2-3 hours more of content)
  
• digital bestiary - carefully crafted document, giving you an advantage on the battlefield
  
• digital soundtrack - atmospheric beats to relax/study to
  

Have you dreamed of having direct input into the game? We allow it to out backers by contributing to the game with a Hall of Fame entry, designing a quest, or naming NPCs, among others.



We hope you've had fun with Zoria so far playing our latest demo. We can't wait to share the new content we're preparing, so back the project and join the community.



Cheers,
Zoria Team

Hey everyone!

[h3]Zoria lore is huge! Today we want to focus on the topic of religion, which, of course, is present in the game's world.[/h3]

We believe it will be interesting to talk more about this; religion is important to us as people, therefore why not dig into this a little bit? There are three main churches:







Generally, Monotheistic, with smaller figures involved in the mythos, established religion within Elion and extended with varying influence into most of the Uram continent.

Gods:

- Torath - God of Light, believed to carry the sun on his back across the sky and responsible for bringing light, heat, and general well-being to the citizen of Zoria.

- Torhuz – God-like figure, brother of Torath and polar opposite. Believed to dwell in the depths of the night and fight an eternal battle with Torath for control of the skies.

With the dual-moon specific of Zoria, two eclipses are happening, one incomplete and one that completely covers the sun, believed to be instances of a great war between the two brothers and bad omens for the people.
The stars are believed to be spirits sent by Torath to light the night sky and prevent Torhuz from bringing eternal darkness to the world.







Polytheistic, widespread throughout the Uram continent. Based on ancient humanoid gods said to inhabit Vrukmanar, the volcanic landmass east of Uram.

Gods:

Athys - Goddess of Light, governor and chief of all gods (patron saint of Priests and Battle Clerics)

Dhases - God of Prosperity (patron saint of Bards, Merchants, and Traders)

Garom- God of War and Fire(patron saint of Mercenaries Battle Clerics and Lancers)

Amaldir - God of Earth and Nature, Husband of Mei-Devi(patron saint of Rangers, Farmers, Commoners, and Hunters)

Niala - Goddess of Magic and Dance (patron saint of Wizards and Mages < Difference between the two would be that Wizard is MALE only name for the magic practitioner, while Sorceress is the FEMALE equivalent. Mage is Neutral; both males and females can use this term to identify themselves as magic practitioners.

Thedara - Goddess of Protection and Constructions, daughter of Athys and Chaos (patron saint of Sentinels and Kingsmen)

Mei-Devi - Goddess of Patience, the Waters and the Night, sister of Han-Jhora (patron saint of Thiefs and Sailors)

Mira - Goddess of Passion and Love (patron saint of Bard)

Han-Jhora - God of the Dead and Ruler of the Underworld, brother of Mei-Devi







Animist religion is based on the belief that all living creatures and even inanimate objects are inhabited by the spirit of Zoria, a spirit that is responsible for all the magic within the world.

Which church would you join? Subjectively, The Temple of Karne speaks to us very loudly!

Until the next time!
