42 Year have past. Long enough for the world to heal. Long enough to forget the horrors of the war that almost claimed not only our lives, but that of our entire world. From the east came the Empire, their mecha and weapons soon overwhelmed the defenders of the Allied Kingdoms but, they were beaten.
Three warrior from the Kingdom Domen stood against the tide of chaos when no one else could. Wielding the powers of the eight great elements of mana, the heroes beat back the empire. However, the aftermath of what we today call the Second Imperial War was high indeed. The Empire lies in ruins, the allied kingdoms threaten to break apart from within, and Mana, the source of all magic, has vanished.
42 years have past, to the east the Empire stirs, the forests of Domen have turned dangerous, fought with monsters and bandits. Now a new generation takes to the defense of the world for now is the time for the Return to Mana.

"As the world turns the beast stirs, for time flows like a river and history repeats and the time of the return of mana approaches"

News from "Return to Mana - legacy of the eight Elements" !
First of all, we have given an interview to www.halflife2.org which you can view here:
We have got the first complete Npc done for you to look at. I have added some of the recent concept arts as well to show the strong emphasis we put on originality.
Like everyone can expect we spend the month playing Half-Life2 and working ourself into the engine. I dont want to bother you with work in progress shots but I can assure you that we have already piped a lot of our content ingame. Expect the first ingame shots around next month.
Dont forget to visit our homepage and drop your ideas and thoughts in the forum.
