==Production ==
Overture 1 was developed as a return to form after Synthesision Craft did not see much success. Overture 1 proved to be thew superior server design with Overture 1 providing a solid month of good rp. After the three main characters of Overture 1 (Lyssaria Crowseye, Edward Reed, and Sam Brightwell) met their ends, the owners got bored with Overture 1. When the map for Overture 2 was found, it was decided that map would serve as the map for the next server and Overture 2 promptly began, however not known as Overture at the time.
Overture 1 originally was supposed to be a sequal of sorts to Naturellescraft with the events taking place hundreds of years after Naturellescraft. When Overture 2 came out however, it was decided that the events of Overture 1 would be non-canon as to avoid running into canonical errors as well as characters from Overture 1 appearing in Overture 2 & 3. At the end of Overture 5, however, Overture 1 was readded as part of the canon, with Puhdas hinting that certain parts of history were bound to repeat themselves.
