Wed, 12 May 2010 20:47:00 -0400

Proteus is a roleplaying game set in the world of Ortellum, home to the last remaining Humans in the galaxy. On a planet recovering from centuries of war, isolation, and disaster, humanity works alongside the races native to this world to forge a new home.

After escaping an Earth devastated by war, the Human race now lives in ancient ruins long since abandoned by those that constructed them.
