Story
The story takes place in the land of Agon, an amalgamation between the Roman Empire, Victorian England, and Ancient Athens. Agon is ruled by King Jacob Cole, who's slowly losing his mind to Void corruption because he read a Necronomicon stand-in called the Book of the Void. The Book of the Void, when read, awakens a Chaos God who lives in a dimension of madness and pure evil. This isn't helped by the fact there's a horde of Orcs at the border looking to plunder the riches and imprison the women of Agon.

The people no longer trust their King due to his increasingly unstable temperment, and instead put their faith in the Guilds, groups of brave men and women who have taken up arms to defend their home while the army is away, which is almost all the time with the Orc threat at the borders. There are many Guilds in the land of Agon, almost too many to count, but there are three that stand out from all others due to their display of heroics.

First are the Hands of Oberon Guild; a group of bodybuilding paladins who use heavy armor and big swords. They were founded by what are essentially Protestant monks who wanted to make a real difference rather than blessing soldiers. They act as community police, keeping the peace in settlements outside the city walls. Their legendary hero is Ludwig Auttenburg, the "Marble Knight", who can fight for months on end without getting tired.

Second is the Dark Brotherhood founded by Brannon Stark, who is fantasy Batman. Members of the DB are Dark Knights, called so because of their black armor. They are also called crows because of their aforementioned black armor and beaked helmets. They act as Agon's resident vigilantes, dealing out the swift hand of justice when the Paladins or the Agoen military is too slow. This has led to an uneasy relationship between the Brotherhood and the Hands, who take due process and the law to heart. Brotherhood Dark Knights are also skilled bards.
And the third Guild, the

-Ambient noise (chickens cooing, leaves rustling, and people talking) is also very important
-Record certain noises, use stock sounds for others.

Dialogue

-Elemental Fury is a Red Knight ability. It unleashes a beam of Elemental energy, dealing massive damage to any thing caught in its range. Higher levels makes the beam wider and cause more damage

-Diablo-style inventory system where different items take up different amounts of space
--ex. potion takes up one space, sword takes up five
-items can be rotated around
-Small items are stackable in the inventory
-buying extra/larger backpacks at shops can expand inventory space

Game Map
-Rouge-like game world, no two game maps should be the same. Different dungeons, towns, town locations
-Difficulty is a factor in area generation, the higher the difficulty, the more hostile areas will be
-Higher difficulty=tougher enemies (better stats, armor, weapons,etc., etc.)
-The only place that will be a constant, however, is the main city at the center of the map
-Hostile territories come in the same levels of difficulties as the game itself, but scaled either up or down depending on the selected game difficulty

Monsters
-Standard RPG fare (goblins, trolls, dragons, etc.)
-Some variation is type (Fire, Water, Earth, Shadow, Ghost, etc.)
-Different types of enemies should have different models and different behaviors
--ex. regular goblins will charge at the player, fire goblins would hang back and sling fire at the player
-Higher level enemies act as leaders for lower level mooks
--ex. If three out of four goblins get killed the last one will run, with a bigger monster around they would fight to the last man

Settlements
-Settlements come in several different varieties
--Camp, Outpost, Village, Town, Burg
-Camps are very small and have very little in terms of stores, normally one or two, but tend to be a questbed
-Outposts are more established than camps, with huts and building set up in place of tents, more people means better quest to shop ratio
-Villages are the best when to quest to store ratio with a perfect 1:1 ratio. A lot of people with a chance of a special encounter in pubs
--Pubs are part of Villages and up
-Towns have more stores than quests, towns are the most common kind of settlements found in the world
-Burgs are a step below the main city, being fully established suburb-esque settlements. They tend to be light on quests except for some important story missions. Burgs tend to be rare on the outer parts of the world map.
-Settlements are like towns in pretty much every other game; weapons, armor, potions, whathaveyou as well as side-quests and dungeons
-Pubs act as places to relax from the main game, allowing the player to play minigames
--Think things like Chocobo Racing from FFVII
