Long time ago:
The sun arose with splendor, looming on the horizon and shining the day of the large group of exiles. They were the last children of the disappeared kingdom of Tartessos, completely destroyed by the cataclysm Gods had sent to punish their wicked leaders.
Traveling through wilderness, barren and deserted, suffering constant losses. They, those who followed the desire to Tarsis, the last priestess, who had sacrificed herself in order to save the faithful and for whom the Gods created three new bright stars to lead the exiles through harms lurking them.
There, after months of hardship, the greenery greeted them and the song of the sea welcomed them. Many sighed and wept at the time. Montcada, the youngest brother of the Priestess, climbed a hill and looked around:
“Here we are going to build a city, named Meridia, and a County named Tarsis in honour of whom saved us - Those who heard him cheered. - We build to be reborn.
What is the County of Tarsis?
The county of Tarsis is a region settled in the Kingdom of Nirath, which main goal is to build a meeting point for the spanish-speaking community, a place where we can play and work together with spanish as common use language, never forgetting that english will be the common language for all the server and using it is going to be necessary.
As we know, CoE will have a high social component, interactions between players will be necessary to achieve goals (resources, food, buildings, etc.) . Because of this, we’re going to put our effort on all the playing styles, including Roleplay.
Why? There would be many spanish speaking players interested in CoE but some of them don’t have enough english skills or they just prefer to play in their native language or maybe players who want to learn spanish. For all of them we made this project, in order to build a meeting place, a home.
Why should I join the County of Tarsis?
We offer help and advice to all the projects stablished in the County, and for those who want to join us, like trade guilds, orders, associations, new settlements, etc. to build a community where all the players can help each other with a huge number of contacts and supports that redound in more prosperity to all.
With that idea in mind, the County will try to help as far as possible to the establishment of all these projects working to offer you a protected and secure environment to develop your activities, fighting criminals and any other kind of abuse.
