The Stratagus engine, as well as all of the code, artwork, music and storylines included in Wyrmsun are distributed under the GPLv2 license. See here for the text of the GPLv2.

At present, Wyrmsun features one civilization (the Dwarves) and the first level of their campaign, as well as a few NPC units (such as the Rat, the Goblin Impaler and the Gnomish Recruit).

The Wyrmsun Universe

In Wyrmsun, rather than living all on the same world, creatures such as Dwarves, Elves and Humans live in separate planets. While Humans live on Earth, and the Elves on Alfheim, the Dwarves live in a harsh world called Nidavellir. This world they share with Gnomes, Goblins and Kobolds.

During the earliest times, the Dwarves were divided into many nomadic tribes. As one such tribe was led by their chief Modsognir to a cave system which seemed to be particularly accommodating for the winter, their wiseman Thjodrorir declared that this place was ripe for settling down, and that this was the wish of the ancestors. Modsognir, deciding to accept this counsel, founded the first permanent Dwarven settlement: Knalga.

Current Development Arc: Tales of Nidavellir

During the Tales of Nidavellir arc, the development of the game will focus on enhancing the Dwarven civilization and creating campaigns for it. It is also planned to develop NPC civilizations (such as the Goblins and Gnomes) a bit further, and perhaps even make one of them playable.

The plan for version 0.1.1 is to make general improvements to the Dwarven civilization (for instance, adding a button for the "stand ground" action), as well as to add a lumber mill building and a ranged unit for the Dwarves.

Lore Sources of Inspiration

Wyrmsun lore contains many elements adapted from the Battle for Wesnoth literature (which is also licensed under the GPLv2), for example: the storyline of the first Dwarven campaign, "The Scepter of Fire", is an adaptation of a campaign of same name from Battle for Wesnoth to the Wyrmsun universe. The lore also contains many elements adapted from Norse as well as Germanic mythology.
