"Each man wears a mask at times, but kings always put on a full facade." - Thurmon Alisblake, hung for his book 'The Faces of Power.'
AZNAR: THE FACADE OF KINGS
Welcome to the world of Aznar. A continent-spanning empire made up of three kingdoms. Northpeak, the snowy, mountainous lands of the north, Kheffek, the massive dune lands of the south, and Emeraldstead, the luscious green lands of the west.
In “Aznar: The Fa?ade of Kings” you are not a hero born to save the world. Instead, you are an unfortunate person who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got mixed up in the internal affairs of the politics of an empire, and the civil war it may face. Throughout the journey you will be witness to, and take part in, many immoral and morally gray deeds, as well as encountering deceitful people – some of which you won’t even know are deceitful to begin with.
There are four playable races in Aznar.
The Termans are the pale-skinned humans from the northern half of Aznar.
The Dunekin are the dark-skinned neighbors of the Termans, and are a proud warrior race from Kheffek.
The Felorn are a golden-skinned elven race, who along with their grey skinned Ashkin cousins, have their origins on the continent of Alakzie. Both are quite skilled with the magical arts.
I have been working on Aznar for over a month, and still have many, many more ahead of me.

FAQ
How big is Aznar?
The world of Aznar is slightly smaller than Cyrodiil in Oblivion.
What’s the timescale?
Currently, the timescale is 32, but this may change in the future.
How’s levelling work?
All enemies are static, along with the majority of items. An enemy that level 7 will always be level 7. The world doesn’t adapt to you, you must adapt to it.
Is there a lot of lore?
Yes, there are currently several written books, and more to be made. Timelines and such are also in progress.
When will Aznar be released?
At the rate I’m going I’m expecting an early 2015 release. Granted, the more help I get, the faster it goes. I am taking time off from school, though, and do not start until fall. Thus, a lot of my free time goes towards this mod.
Can I help?
Of course! While I prefer the bulk of this to be made by me, I always appreciate models, textures, concepts, etc. and am happy to receive them. I’ve even put some modders’ resources to good use. If you wish to help just say so in this thread, PM me on the forums, or email me at mailto:aznarfacade@gmail.com
If you have any comments, concerns, questions, etc. feel free to post here. I love seeing feedback and will answer any and all questions. J Updates will come as often as I can, though I prefer to use my time in developing the game.
