[COLOR=#ffa64d]The Story of The Black Road[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4]Terror Reigns in ancient Greece. Hades has led a rebellion against the other gods and created the Black Road that runs from the mouth of Hell all the way to the gates of Athens, and demonic horrors have been set loose to ravage Greece. In an effort to retake the world of mortals from the Olympians, the ancient Titans have sent their avatars to stake their own claim in the conflict. The warriors of Athens grimly dig in to await the coming of the dark tides of war, but turmoil is brewing on all sides. Beneath the shadow of this darkest evil, twilight seems to have fallen upon the fathers of the West

Yet hope remains. A dawn of war also heralds a dawn of Heroes, and mighty champions have arisen in Greece to stand against the seas of evil that flow from the mouth of Hell along the Black Road. As a player in The Black Road, you assume the role of one of these heroes to bring salvation to ancient Greece and--ultimately--to all of the West.

Choose your class and begin your task of defeating Hades and the eight Titans. The Black Road is an RPG, yet there are also epic battles fought when Hades unleashes his hordes upon Athens. Build your character between these battles and hunt the Titans, for only when they are defeated may you confront Hades at the gates of Hell.

There are also 4 professions to choose from by any hero.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][COLOR=#ffa64d]Leveling process[/COLOR]
[SIZE=4][/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=4][SIZE=4][/size][/size][SIZE=4][SIZE=4]

From lvl 10, any hero may begin to learn one of the 4 different professions in Athens - Weaponsmith, Armorsmith, Goldsmith and Alchemist.

By using crafting materials found all around the open world, these professions can be used to craft powerful items to help oneself and others, along the way to glory, from lvl 1 and all the way to end-game!

The most common way of attaining skill points is by leveling. For each 10 levels you achieve, the amount of skill points you acquire for leveling increase by one, starting at 3 points per level at level 1.
The second, and most time-consuming, way of attaining skill points are by tomes. Tomes are only dropped by bosses of Rhea's rank or higher (meaning remaining titans and the rare bosses, such as in the Citadel). Bosses that drop tomes are as follows:
Rhea, Oceanus, Gaea, Hydra, Hades, Sphinx, Chimaera, Cerberus, The Sisters, Persephone, Chillhand, and last but far from least, Hyperion.

The amount of stats you are limited to is based on your level. As you acquire levels, the amount of stats you are allowed to have increase. At each 10th level plateau (at later levels), the amount of stats you may have increases dramatically.
Ensure that you distribute points whenever possible. Also remember that unusued points do not save, so make sure they're used before the game ends.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Warrior Classes take note. You will get an extra point of intelligence at these levels ((15,30,45,60,75,90,105,120,135,150,165,180,195,200))
