Welcome to Opus Deorum
The Golden Years
The Island of Celonia, the one time jewel in the Great Ring of Islands and home to the Five Churches. Legends tell of a great civilisation flourishing here for thousands of years, artists, poets, storytellers, musicians and traders all called this place home. It is said that The Great Races lived in harmony during those peaceful years, unfortunately things have long since changed.
Isaketh's Tale XI (the dark years)
"..they came at dawn swarming through the village and slaughtering everything in their path, great twisted, red eyed beasts straight from hell. Our men fought bravely but died quickly. The women and children were less fortunate.."
Present Day
Celonia is now a place in anarchy, it has taken us over 800 years to fight our way back to the surface of this world, free from our tunnels and hideaways. The Great Races, once our allies and friends, now roam this land like wild beasts, back to their primitive feudal ways but we shall defeat them. The Great Towns are mostly lost to us, now mere shadows of their former beauty but we shall rediscover and restore them. The Celonian race has survived its darkest hour, now we shall prevail.

What do I need to play?
This is a browser game, there are no downloads, no plug-ins and no installation instructions. All you need is an up to date browser (FireFox recommended) with Session cookies and Javascript enabled. Thats it.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Its entirely FREE to play Opus Deorum and will always remain so. Players have the ability to donate or subscribe should they wish and in return receive very minor in-game rewards, such as different coloured names and the ability to have profile pictures or a player character background, but there is never any requirement to pay and its entirely possible to succeed in the game without paying.
Which means you are going to kill me with adverts.......right?
No. Opus Deorum currently has NO ADVERTS. This was a conscious decision by the owner who dislikes web games with thousands of adverts cluttering up the place. OD may add adverts to the site in the future, but there will always be an option (in game) to switch them off entirely. Players will never have to resort to adblock or other software to remove adverts. The only exception to the no advert rule, is one banner exchange picture on our voting page.
