Oberin is a classical-style game if you say it from a technical standpoint, though,
I do love the aspect that Role Playing has been gathered the threads of Oberin history.
I am trying here to draw up a chronology of events in Oberin,
digging the old sources off the web.
Adventurers had a vision of Arlis who was frightened by a voice of invisible Ayara Rita. Carrying the Golden Box, Arlis went looking for a victim that Ayara demmanded.
(Date unknown: at the time, a man called Trephias, an inhabitant of Port Gast, had his Dragon Heart stolen, and it fell into the hand of Andris. Dragon Heart looked like a ruby. Rumours told that it would dispel magical effects. The ruby was retrieved later, and entrusted to Beleth.)
An announcement by Seiglinde told a story of the Golden Box which Seth recalled.
Summary:
Time immemorial, there were The King and The Queen. When The Queen was assassinated The King called upon mages all over the world to get his dearest wife back to life again. A specialized assemblage of mages came upon his call, and one of their High Priests detected that the soul of The Queen was still around in the castle. The Priest casted a spell not to lose her soul away. The other mages were capable to make the Golden Box which was able to keep human souls in itself until the soul could meet with a suitable body. The King announced the people that he asked for someone who would sacrifice herself to his wife. He never thought of the consequence where should be some people who were covetous to possess the Golden Box.
It brought on wars for the possession of Golden Box. The Golden Box contained souls which were in hope of return to this world someday.
