Ashes of the Future (1609-1630)

Ashes of the Future was the first and original game, set in 1609 running up to 1630. It was hosted by Adelwijn Zeveren as main host and Stefano Ollano as war admin in 2020.

The game had a total of 9 turns alongside a choosing turn (turn 0) and an epilogue.

Initially planned to span all the way to 1650, the game had a difficulty in resolving the issue surrounding the French Succession War and was cut short. The end of the game was in 1630, when the Holy Roman Empire was once again at another climax of instability. In order to solve this, a 'minigame' was hosted by Stefano Ollano in September of 2020, in which the fate of France was decided, named 'For want of a King'. The sequel, announced the same year, was only confirmed by the admins by December of 2020 and will be hosted around April or May 2021.
