Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, KoA:R or just Reckoning, is 38 Studios first officially released game as a game design company.
This single-player roleplaying game video game or (RPG) takes place in the world of Amalur, an original world created by fantasy author
and one of 38 Studios visionaries R.A. Salvatore. This world was then brought to life by 38 Studiosother visionaries, those such
as world-renowned comic book and toy creator Todd McFarlane and designed by internationally celebrated computer and board
game designer Ken Rolstonand audio by Grant Kirkhope.
This is the first exposure to a growing intellectual property soon to include the Massive Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game (MMORPG) codenamed Copernicus.
Reckoning takes place during the Age of Arcana, a time when magic is freshly returning to the world of Amalur after a long absence. A war is taking place between a group of unseelie Fae, an immortal race called the Tuatha, and the mortal races of men and elves. Reckoning is set 2000 years prior to Copernicus, in the geographic region call the Faelands. This is a smaller discovered portion of a much larger world. There is a day time and night time cycle which is reflected by it's citizens.
Your story in Reckoning begins when you awaken after having died or been killed, then unbeknownst to you, your body was placed into the Well of Souls. After awakening you see that you're body was used and discarded as just another failed experiment and thrown into a pile of other corpses, you claw your way out to find yourself in a cavern. You don't know who you are, you don't know how you've died, and you certainly don't know how you came back. You walk forward and are greeted by the architect of your resurrection, a gnome who goes by the name of Fomorous Hugues. You now start your adventure into finding out just how you ended up being the first Fateless One.
