Storyline for Game

Okay, here’s an idea for a story line that might work.  Let me know what you all think, we could use all of it, part of it, or none of it, but it might give us something to start with.

Basically we could connect some of the myths about the Bermuda Triangle and some legends about Atlantis together. There is already a theory that the legendary city of Atlantis is responsible for the dozens of unusual and unexplainable occurrences that have taken place in the area of the Caribbean commonly known as the Bermuda Triangle.

The reason some link Atlantis with the Bermuda Triangle is because the Atlantis legend often includes the idea that the Atlanteans were a technologically advanced people and that the city heavily relied on a special energy crystal that was extremely powerful. Some believe that this crystal is still around, and is what causes navigational instruments of passing ships and planes to malfunction.

There is also legend of rock formations on the ocean floor created by the Atlanteans, known as the Bimini Road.  Archeologists have found large stone on the ocean floor that are arranged in circular patterns, almost as if they were placed there purposefully.  The circles of rocks were spaced in intervals. Stone anchors, identical to ancient Pheonician, Greek, and Roman anchors were also found. This is significant because the legend states that the people of Atlantis had the same roots as these people. Underwater harbors that appear to have been built long ago have also been found.

I thought I’d add those little tidbits just to give the story a little believability. It will also explain why there are magical items hidden in trenches in the bottom of the sea.

Perhaps the story of the game is that you’ve been sent on a mission by someone who is convinced that the powerful Atlantean crystal exists and is responsible for the Bermuda Triangle “happenings”.  That person has sent the player to the Bermuda triangle to find the lost crystal, and by finding it, not only will it make the area a much safer region for ships and planes, but also such a find would be invaluable.

Some of the locations could include the trenches as already mentioned, and maybe some of the ancient undersea harbors could also be locations as well as places where clues can be placed that will lead the player to the crystal. 

Another variation could be that you would have to travel outside of the Bermuda triangle because many believe the Atlantean civilization first began near the Mediterranean. We could do this if you all wanted to make the locations a little more global.

Anyway,  I could write more, but first I’m just curious if anyone is interested in this idea?
