WORLD OF CHARUN
- Bringing you roleplay and adventures since 2002
Contents |
Welcome to the World of Charun!
The Fourth Age of Charun is a time unlike any other. It is the Age of Heroes, where the Rise and Fall of Kingoms rest on the shoulders of mighty individuals rather than vast armies. It is a time where it is possible to forge one's destiny without the aid of neither god nor mortal!
The World of Charun is a Persistent Role Play World based in it's own custom setting. It is based on the Neverwinter Nights module for the same name. The NWN2 mod is set in the Fourth Age, after the fall of the Third Age, which happened in the first installment of Neverwinter Nights.
The World of Charun website is a project maintained by the WoC Staff, which strives to provide all information regarding the custom RP Persistent mod for NWN2: The World of Charun.
For more information for new players and what you can except from us, as well as a presentation of our dreams, hopes and goals, visit the Introduction page.

May 10, 2010 - Frank Frazetta has passed away. Yet an inspirer and creator has left us.
"Today, after having a major stroke, Frank Frazetta, the definite master of heroic fantasy art, passed away at the age of 82. Mr. Frazetta was a gifted artist from a very young age, being able to paint out of his mind, without referring to photographs or puppets. In addition to that, all of his art has a phenomenal kind of fluid motion frozen in the moment, that immediately captures the viewer with it’s energy. He is the inspiration for so many great modern fantasy artists and his contribution to the world of Conan is invaluable. Rest in peace Frank Frazetta, creator of worlds. Your art will continue to inspire and I hope you are united with your loving wife, wherever you are now." (Waldgeist, of the conan movie blog)

His contribution to the creation of role-playing games, and through them the entire ecosystem of CRPGs, MUDs, and MMOs that grew from them, was immeasurable. The game industry would not be the same today without his work," (A. Macris, publisher of The Escapist)
