"Arctania" is a virtual steampunk game. Magic spells, enchanted artifacts, steam engines, firearms and mechanical golems are part of everyday life here. A former paladin and now a Corn blacksmith; priestess of the goddess Elenia, witch doctor Amina; a great archer and now a mere hunter, Lert; the demolition gnome Fram; sorcerer Rathmere. What unites all these characters besides the fact that each of them was exiled to a remote village on the border with the lands of the orcs for wrongdoing before the Emperor? Why is this where the character of the gamer Andrei begins his journey, glassblowing Falk? Can a virtual goddess influence the real world and what does she need from Andrew both in and out of the game?
