About Tales of Omaterra

What is Tales of Omaterra?

Tales of Omaterra is a heroic adventure setting built on ancient Greek, old Norse, and ancient Egyptian mythologies, where you play as a demigod(Greek, Norse) or chosen(Egyptian) and take on grand, deadly tasks for the betterment of the world, for glory, and for fame.

This is a realm where heroes take on the vast majority of the world’s greatest threats, and many lords and pharaoh’s are chosen by the gods alongside classic democratic voting.

There is no shortage of adventure’s to be had in Omaterra.

You carry a hero sigil, that can come in multiple different colors, including; Blue, Green, Gold, and White. These sigils mark you publically as a demigod or a chosen who is on a quest. These sigils are vital parts of the hero society, and list your accomplishments, titles, and your ranking among the servants of the gods.

Take on a grand quest through mythology, fighting cyclopes, giants, wolves, wurms, all the way to purple worms and ancient dragons. Fight monsters of myth like the Chimera, save the world from the awakening of Surtr and ragnarok, or stop Apophis from being summoned and eating the sun(ra).

The Four Sigils

The marking of a Hero

  • Gold - Apocalypse Prevention

    You are a unique blend of the other sigils, with more focus on world ending threats, of which there are many, that threaten the world of Omaterra. You command respect from adventurer guilds and take on far more specific missions, and play less of a role in normal world affairs, but are still vital to the safety of the realm. You may take on powerful enemies who seek to begin Ragnarok, or you may fight mages who wish to summon Apophis who will eat the sun, or you may stop the norse giant Surtr from emerging from his prison.


  • Blue - Monster Hunter

    A powerful hunter of the things in the dark, the famous creatures of myth like the Nemean Lion, Polyphemus, The Chimera, etc… You may be connected to any number of other hunters across the world, and are very popular among the large, sanctioned mercenary guilds. The hydra’s and northern dragons are often your prey. 


  • White - Clerical

    You are more connected to the faiths of the world, and carry a stronger connection to divinity than others with different sigils. Your people are often chosen to guard or retrieve ancient relics of deities, find old scripts and texts, and are often regarded as the most learned of the five sigils. Your people play a very important role in the world’s sustained peace, with white sigiled heroes often stepping into leadership roles in communities and becoming notable diplomats in addition to being guardians of the faith.

  • Green - People's Leader

    You are here to keep the peace, to represent the gods in world affairs involving city and town defenses, represent the different militaries in talks of peace, and  your station among soldiers, mercenaries, arena fighters, and all forms of combat is higher than those carrying other sigils. You command respect from many, and your presence is often extremely calming to citizens of the world in times of crisis. 

The Three Empires

  • The Asumin Empire - Egyptian

    The great realm of knowledge, high magical capability, exploration, and an extensive history that far surpasses the greeks and the norse.

    The greatest mages hail from Asumia, and their numerous deities protect the realm from grave threats with your help. The capital city, Thotherun, is the worldly capitol of information, study, and history, and the Sentinel’s of Hope have a guild branch in the city.

  • The Sotopos Empire - Greek

    The beacon of wealth, competition, and magic items, the Sotopian empire is the home of many of the greatest crafters, warriors, and industries. Hailing from the Sotopian Empire makes you connected to many other guilds, organizations, and religious orders.

  • The Eddanir Empire - Norse

    It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
