= About =
Greatly inspired by aspects of Lord of the Rings and Warhammer fantasy, the Fractured Thrones project features a heavy storytelling focus where player choices have weight and consequence upon their world.
While entire kingdoms go to war and horrors gather in the shadows, the focus of Fractured Thrones centers upon a small group of characters from varied walks of life, who find themselves forced to rely on wit, choices made, friends made, and sword arm to survive.
Player choice is the primary determinant of how a scenario, and future events, play out. There are no "main characters" in this roleplay; all are vulnerable to the disasters of this world. The actions of the player characters of Fractured Thrones have already wildly diverted the events of Auzera, for better and for worse.
Since the first session in the Fall of 2020, Fractured Thrones has went on to create over 300 episodes spread across it's three seasons, with it's first 100 sessions being created and streamed in under a year.
=Setting=
Fractured Thrones is set in the world of Auzera, currently in the Fourth Era.
This unique setting is home to many, varied kingdoms, races, and horrors that compete for their hold of conquest and survival.
==Kingdoms of Auzera==
There are eight known Kingdoms of Auzera.
*Arilaand 
*Haeloth 
*Gradia 
*Eshma Thalas 
*Vurnfalduhr 
*Theozzian Empire 
*Agmurdrod 
*Moro-Gorath 
Far beyond the ocean shores of Auzera lies The Old Sea.
=Characters=
The world of Fractured Thrones is populated by many, many unique on-screen characters, who are given life thanks to the efforts of the Player Character, NPC, and DM cast which are collectively over 100 strong. 
While the story is driven by the passionate and talented Player Character cast, the many and varied personalities portrayed by the NPC members give a deeper layer to the world and make each town, tavern and battleground come to life on every episode.

FT Episode List
Overview by Season

The people of Fractured Thrones make the project possible by filling in the various roles needed to push the story forward, and make the world come to life. DMs, Player Characters, the dedicated NPC cast, Asset Makers and more - all work together to achieve this.
Fractured Thrones Cast
==Recruitment==
Fractured Thrones is 'closed cast' project, and new arrivals are vetted through Mr. Brunswicks public Discord server, where there is a channel for NPC recruitment.
Despite the breadth of passion and talent among the existing cast members, one need not be a professional voice actor or storied thespian to meaningfully contribute to the VR RP. All that is required is a sturdy VR setup, with a full or half body headset, and a good-faith ability to follow directions from the DM team.
Many hands are needed to help facilitate the modules and stories of the project so new cast members are taken in at various times when needed.
=Combat and Roleplay Workshops=
Cinematic battles with weight and structure are a pillar of what makes Fractured Thrones special and memorable. Over the past three seasons, a dozen sessions have been dedicated to teaching cast members how to portray the FT brand of fantasy combat within VR!

=Audience, Artists and More=
==Fans==
While they don't always inhabit the realms of VRC, the fans of Fractured Thrones are an integral part of the project and the support they provide must not be left unmentioned.
Part of the unique experience of VR Roleplaying projects like Fractured Thrones is the presence of live observers in the stream chats that run during each episode. The audience reactions and commentary made during the live streams are an integral part to the communal and unique experience of seeing a VR RP 'live'.
In past forms of roleplay, such as MMO's or text based projects, this was largely not possible to this scale.
Fans give their time to watch lengthy sessions and VODs, then spend time on various Discord servers to theorize and comment with each other about what they witnessed of Auzera. They donate to and support cast members, and sometimes become cast members themselves.
Without the fans, there would be no Fractured Thrones.
==Fanart==
The Fractured Thrones project has inspired and enabled the creation of many works of fanart, made by several artists including Faukk, Olive, Ariceisgood and others. 
These works of passion and talent have been featured in roleplay promotions, stream presentation, as well as filling Discord servers with many depictions of several characters from the story.
At a future date, a curated gallery of selected fanart will be on display here.
