Aegis

The gods have warred, and the world is now in ruins. Some islands were protected by their patron gods, but most have been razed, the seas and land shifting from the battle. You have made your way to the Aegis, the centre of the world, to rebuild civilization after this calamity. Five factions offer different ideas on how this should occur, now you must help shape the future.

Aegis is an Ancient Greek fantasy game set in an alternate mythical history directly after the Gigantomachy. It focusses on rebuilding society after a mythical apocalypse, re-establishing settlements, securing new borders, and establishing a new political leadership all while the new gods settle into Olympus and finish clearing the world of the Titan’s forces. You belong to one of the five fractured empires of Ilion, Atlantis, Movóros, Stygia, and Thrâix, each inspired by a different historical region or myth.

Development for this game began in early 2024 alongside our first Ancient Greek inspired game, Asphodel, and is intended to run after Asphodel’s first 3-part story arc. It is a faction based game where players balance working together to rebuild society with prioritising their own faction’s agendas. While the game contains fantastical elements and magic, it is much more low-fantasy than Asphodel, with a focus on low-rules and high immersion.

A test game is being developed for 2026-27; if you’d like to join this project, get in touch directly via email to keith@fakeloregames.com
