Regarding the name, zenzai is a type of soup in Japan (it tastes pretty good actually).
I suggest you either make the scenario of the game accordingly, with different soup tribes battling it out, or change the name.
I didn't know it was a kind of soup in Japan...
But the name 'Zenzai' accords to the name of the land, and to the capital. So I won't stick with it :').
QUOTE(monochrome.scene @ Jan 3 2011, 04:34 AM) I've been thinking of a whole new concept for the land in this game:
Zenzai is separated by a long river, into two different territories. One specifically inhabited by Black elves, elves wielding the power of the shadows. [Or you know, something along the line =P] The one on the other side is only inhabited by White elves, wielding the holy power of light.
They were once both white elves, allied, but coming from separate kingdoms, and thus controlled by two different kings. The strong prosperity from one of the kingdoms sparked a rivalry between the two kings, both finally deciding to resort to violence, and thus, war. However, one of the kings, overwhelmed by the enemy, resorted to the use of a forbidden magic/technique/arcana [Well, you know, something completely hidden and utterly strong] which would unleash the full strength of the elves, which involves unleashing the dark side inside of them. Everyone in his own kingdom were corrupted, and those that were of pure heart were quickly dispatched.
Thus, the White elves were quickly defeated by their unholy opponent, and had to go on hiding, protecting the kings from the grasps of the monsters.
Oh, and based on this storyline, we should probably go for a prologue level, explaining Zenzai's background.
And well, that's mostly it, while the story will start from there. What do you think? Honestly, criticize me all you want xD
