Okay, I trie to give you a short look into the the world of Ahssûn concerning the Story: (I write it better in spoiler...)
Spoiler:(zum lesen bitte Text markieren)
In the Intro you can see that the player is shipping to the harbor of Ahssûn. He should get a high grade in the City of Ahssûn. Sadly the Ship makes a crash and so it founders. On the beech of Ahssûn a person from the ship hits the player down and steels the letter with the informations that the player should have the high range. So the player gets in prison to fight in the arena of Ahssûn.
Here is were the game starts.
Because of the long trip to Ahssûn the player is very weak and can't win anything. So he gets kicked out of the arena and find himself withiut anything on the streets. A lucky break makes that the guard named 'Cortez' is in front of the arena. He had experienced the same as the player and so he tries to help the player to find a way in the big world of Ahssûn...
In the first parts of the mod, the player will be in a save part of the world and it's not really possible to get in the parts where the Orcs live and where it's really dangerous. In the first chapters there are more fighty like hunting or something like this. The first big fight will come at the end of the seccond chapter.
I don't wont to tell more about the story, because it will take eagerness.
hopefully this will be enough to make Legend of Ahssûn more interresting
greatz from the LoA-Team.
