In Beetle Knight, you play as arthropod Knights designated by the Iridescent Order as protectors of the realm of Litterfall. You are thus duty-bound to travel the world, helping those in need.
Unexplained phenomena and deep history permeate the world of Beetle Knight. Arthropod characters with diverse cultures based on every bug imaginable populate the cracks and hollows of Litterfall.
Litterfall is a patchwork of territories. Every centimeter of the ever-changing land is spoken for and each has several ancestral claimants. As a member of the Iridescent Order of Knights you are driven by honor to investigate the mysteries of the realm.
Histories and Mysteries
Deep in the rotting log that is the Millipede’s fortress, a disease spreads like wildfire. No one knows the source. Perhaps they discovered something left by the Termites long ago?
Innocent Flies have been disappearing, many seem to know something, but are too scared to speak. All the while, moss covers once-clean nests.
Mantises have suddenly begun uncharacteristically blocking all passage through their territory. All, that is, but the strongest diggers.
The Water Skater Clan has stopped delivering cargo. Nobody knows why. Though recently, iridescent waves of a strange gas waft through the air over the pond.
The feared Fire Ant nation has been quiet for a very long time. Now, they have started incursions into the peaceful lands to the East. Rumor has it they bear powerful new weapons.
The Summer Web Festival was canceled suddenly and the Orb Weaver Queen has stopped talking to everyone. Has the brash new leader of the Court of the Katydid spoken too brazenly?
