I am making a cool new game for the GameDev.net 4E5 contest. To learn more about it, click here. Here's the synopsis:

Storyline:

The year is 4086, by human standards (or 1154 adm (after death of man)). Man destroyed himself a Milena ago. Out of the ashes of a brutal nuclear war, a new race arises. This race, though they do not understand why themselves, call themselves the Elves. The Elves were born from Men, at a perfect time in history, when two world events took place at the same age: A great winter, and a large dose of radiation, which Man inflicted upon himself.

Two Elves, monks, living in the High North, spot a large flame flash across the sky. Seconds later, they feel the impact rumble the ground beneath them. Overwhelmed by curiosity, the two monks set out to discover the source of this mystery. When they arrive at the crash site, they find three short, stout, bearded creatures, pulling themselves from the wreckage. The monks take them in, and, after a few months, the Dwarves learn their language. The Elves call them the Dwarves.

Meanwhile, two large, horned creatures pull themselves out of the ship's wreckage. Releasing a furious roar of rage, the male sets off at a galloping lope. The female chases after him…

In the year of adm 1179, a new age is on the rise. But will this age be of Elves, Dwarves, or Orcs? Only a war shall decide that, a long, bloody war, in which you shall play a key role…

Queen Ie'l of the Elves has declared, that for the sake of Earth, the Orc's rapid rise to power must be slowed. To do this, she declares war on the Imperialism Of Urchu', the Orc's largest empire. With a mutual-agreement pact with the dwarves, they seem unstoppable. Unless the Orcs somehow manage to band together their nations, divided, they will fall. But, unfortunately, they do….

Races:

Elves:

A small but highly intelligent race, they can bend nature to their will. They also have the power of tongues, but they reproduce very slowly. Most Elves can only have one child every 15 years. Elves age very slowly, and have extraordinarily long live spans. Average lifespan: 223 years.

Dwarves

A race of short, hairy humanoids, they prefer to live underground. They were, at one time, extremely intelligent, but the crash landing on Earth killed the only one with real knowledge on the ship. Having to start over, they are a fairly primitive, metal-loving race, who are advertant to the sun.

Men

A few Men survived the long, nuclear war, and have begun to repopulate the earth, though they are the smallest race.

Orcs

The Orcs have limited knowledge, though the average Orc relies on instinct 43% of the time.

They reproduce more rapidly than Man, but have very limited lifetimes, as many die during mating season. How they manage to make the largest empire in the world…

Ferw'nts

The Ferwn'ts are a type of Orc that are more highly evolved. They have approximatly 83 IQ points higher than the average Orc. They are also shorter, and more Elf-like. They command the Orcan armies, and rin Orcan government. Without them, the Orcs would destory themselves from the inside.

more coming, i'm just too tired to write more…
