Sandstorm SMP

200 years ago stood the republic of imperia, built from the ashes of the Kingdom of Imperia after a brutal rebellion against the immortal rulers who abused the power of the Phoenix to rule. Under the presidency of Solev the republic turned to a dictatorship of harsh control wherein the population was divided between three regions to collect resources for a mysterious project, The Phoenix Machine, a device capable to reviving life to those who have died. Solev built this machine in an attempt to recover the life of his lost daughter however, was unable to achieve this dream before his subjects revolted, destroying the capital and ruining plans to save his daughter.

Over 100 years after the fall of Imperia a brutal sandstorm took over the lands of the Imperian continent which blew for years on end before finally quieting down with the appearance of the Pylon a mysterious device that succeeds the goals of the now long dead president Solev. People from across the planet are being revived and brought to the Pylon's base once again now 200 years from when the original Pheonix Machine was first built. What will happen to those who are brought from times and places unknown and who will find a new place to live in this new strange world?

The sandstorm SMP modpack is a tech light roleplay based pack designed for an AU stemming from the end of the Ish 2.7 Roleplay event. Mods aims add a vanilla-plus-plus-plus sort of experience, with plenty of new decorative mods, combat changes, and ways to pass time with friends in a more vibrant version of Minecraft. The pack is designed for play on a server and some elements will not achieve the same effect without one.

Origins:

Sandstorm is built with a suite of custom designed origins as well as some select origins from RPG Origins as well as powers from the Origins classes addon implemented into some lower impact origins. Some origins require administration powers to be assigned such as Vampires, Beastfolk, and Pirates, aswell as all custom bloods that can be used by the vampires. A selection of the origins available include:

The Beastfolk;

Beastfolk are descended from ancient tribes of unknown true origin. They resemble animals in varying levels of Humanoid and are granted a powerful enhanced Form they can activate by shapeshifting.
