What is this place?

The concept of creating AI characters has revolutionized the storytelling experience, empowering both fans and authors to connect with their target audience on a deeper level. Through leveraging advanced AI technology, authors can artfully craft dynamic and engaging characters that resonate with the specific preferences and desires of their audience, leading to a more immersive and personalized narrative that engrosses and captivates readers.

Fans, on the other hand, benefit from AI-generated characters by experiencing more relatable and diverse storylines that cater to their individual interests, providing them with a sense of involvement and connection to the narrative.

Artificial Intelligence is a remarkable technology that enables the creation of remarkably lifelike characters that intricately adapt and respond to the choices and emotions of the people who interact with them, thereby delivering an exceptionally interactive and captivating narrative experience that significantly enhances the immersive quality of the interconnected world that everyone actively inhabits.

The quoted introduction above was generated with Artificial Intelligence before being edited by the author as an example of what can be achieved with even a simple large language model.


Unveiling the Future of Storytelling: AI Characters Take Center Stage in Eldrahn Online


I will make no allusions here - the characters that I create are all featured in a story that I am writing, and I utilize them to help with refining realistic dialog in the story I am creating. However, the story is not what I really hope to be the main attraction of Eldrhan Online. I hope that this world - Eldrhan - is something that those who enjoy Role Playing Games like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulu, and even The World of Darkness, to those who love Isekai Manga / Anime, Fantasy Literature, and litRPGs would enjoy.

With the push for large language models and generative AI to be included in everything, we are presented with the opportunity to go out and create characters that behave startlingly close to their canon or imagined counterparts on several services that are dedicated to roleplaying with these characters. We even have websites like Agnaistic that allow us to use to local models we host ourselves, with friends swapping character cards in a “Gotta catch ‘em all!” fashion that fills my heart with nostalgic glee. This evolution has brought an exciting level of immersion to roleplaying and opens up new possibilities for storytelling within any online community, enriching the tabletop and roleplaying landscape and enticing creative minds to collaborate and innovate with a new creative medium.

I won’t lie to you - there are definitely some ethical concerns when it comes to the source of AI training data. Several news articles involving even bigwigs like Wizards of the Coast have centered around AI. It’s high time that someone explored what it has to offer in a fashion that’s driven by community input - and that’s why we’re here. Eldrahn Online is meant to be a project not driven by me alone - but by readers and fans like yourself.

thank you for making this possible!

— In the future, you can look forward to —
