Chronicle: No one’s Land
Six months ago two old friends said farewell to each other. Angelo, a keen student, was traveling far away to the port of Misioni to continue his studies. Maya, a fearless adventurer, was moving on as she always did. But, on that day the two vowed to meet again on the first day of spring in the coming year. Spring is still several months away, but never one to remain still, Maya has begun her journey to Misioni eager to explore the land and it’s mysteries.
However, unknown to either of them, political tensions are on the brink. Misioni is the only sea port of king Tyreal’s land and filled with natural resources, and king Radavauld has set his sights on. As tensions rise Maya must face the reality of political turmoil which threatens the people of Misioni because of the land which they call home and she must confront her own inner daemons which keep her moving from place to place.
No one’s land is a stealth investigation adventure which abides by the maxim easy to learn, hard to master. As Maya you will be able to navigate the land using her orienteering skills and engage in social intrigue. As matters get more dire Maya can employ her athletic abilities to remain undetected and infiltrate hostile territory.

Chapter one is set across three days on the outskirts to Misioni and follows Maya as she becomes involved with the people of the island and their problems. There are three main quests:
A villager has gone missing, a most unusual event, and they must be found. To find them Maya must become steeped in the social relations of the village and discover and possible motivations for the villagers disappearance.
An angry wizard who maintained the lighthouses on the outskirts has stormed off from the city and left the lighthouses to go out, they need relighting to prevent ships from being dashed upon the rocks. To do so Maya will have to journey deep into the mages laboratories facing space bending puzzles and sentry golems.
A group of delegates from the main land has arrived and is making waves. If Maya can uncover the truth of their visit maybe she can put an end to the civil unrest.

Stealth System ** UPDATED 18/05/2016 **
No one’s land’s stealth system aims to add a new level of characterisation to the stealth genre by making the personality and affiliations of guards affect their desire and ability to pursue you. Guards will weight up if they think their life is worth their job and guards will react to close friends being attacked in a way that they would not to people they don’t know.
