'Warriors of the World'' is a RagnarokOnline fanfiction written by [[http://bergamot-dreams.deviantart.com bergamot-dreams]] focusing on the tale of [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits eight mercenaries who team up]] to deal with a problem their kingdom is facing. It very soon escalates into a gigantic issue of epic proportions that causes them to get involved with politics, war, magic, legends and monsters.
Initially written in 2006, the trilogy went on hiatus in 2009. Four years later, the writer decided to rewrite the fanfic. The project is known as ''Warriors of the World 2.0'', often abbreviated to just ''[=WotW 2.0=]''. The instalments:
''Soldiers of Fortune'': Eight mercenaries unite over a common goal - to find out who is behind the "threat" affecting the kingdom and the source of brief, if intense, sessions of pain that only they are affected by. By the time they find out the truth, they're the only ones left capable of neutralising it.
''Flight of the Phoenix'': In the wake of a prophecy, the Kingdom of Rune-Midgard declares the War of Emperium - a friendly mercenary guild competition to determine who will defend the Kingdom from the enemies mentioned in the prophecy. It soon becomes an ugly affair of politics and backstabbing between several guilds, including the newly born Raulus guild.
''The Legend Reborn'': Ten years after the events of the previous instalment, the prophecy begins to start coming true. With the Kingdom in trouble and despair running high among the civilians, a race of "superhumans" come to their aid - but their real motivation remains unknown, and so does the motivations of their enemies.
The prequel ''War of the Frontier'' features the Battle of Al'Zahur and explains how things are the way they are in ''Soldiers of Fortune''.
The rewrite can be found [[http://wotw-thefanfic.tumblr.com here]]. The originals can be found on FanfictionNet.
'''"Here there be spoilers. Beware."'''
----
!!This fanfiction contains examples of:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The [[spoiler:Glast Heim]] culverts, which has the space to take the Raulus walking abreast and then some, and still let them keep their feet dry.
* AnachronismStew: Reflecting the game itself. Headphones in a medieval Britain-ish setting?
* ArtEvolution: Both the writing and the accompanying art improved ''massively'' after the four-year hiatus.
* BanOnMagic: Type A. No magic-user is allowed to use old magic under any circumstances whatsoever within the Kingdom. Anyone who breaks this rule will be subject to the wizards of Geffen enforcing the law.
* BluntYes: Emeth is fond of these.
--> '''Valkron:''' "Okay? ''Okay?'' That all you can ask?"
--> '''Emeth:''' "Uh, yeah."
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Subverted. The game has large butterflies called Creamies and rabbits called Lunatics as mobs, but the fic refers to them as just butterflies and rabbits.
** Played straight with the Tarou and Familiars, which are rats and vampire bats respectively.
* CerebusSyndrome: Wastes no time appearing at all, starting from Chapter ''10'' of ''Soldiers of Fortune''.
* CityOfCanals: Aldebaran.
* CommonTongue: New Runic unites the Republic of Schwarzwald and the Kingdom of Rune-Midgard, as well as within the Kingdom itself, as noted in a footnote.
* FantasyCounterpartCulture: While the fic remains mostly based on the game, there are some touches to the various "foreign" cities.
** Payon is based on Korea like the game, but the language, Payan, is based off Mandarin Chinese.
** Morroc is Middle Eastern with Egyptian touches (the Pyramids), and the language is said to be loosely based off Arabic in spoken and Egyptian in writing.
** Rune-Midgard appears to be mostly medieval Britain.
** Schwarzwald has a Germanic touch with a Renaissance feel, but the main language (Zwald) appears to be based off German with a posh accent.
* FightingTheLancer: [[spoiler:Valkron and Emeth]] face off when they're both {{Mind Control}}led in one chapter of ''Soldiers of Fortune''.
* FirstNameBasis: Everyone in the stories is this, barring a few individuals. Apparently they do have last names, but they're not important.
* HorseOfADifferentColour: Peco Pecos in the Warriors of the World trilogy are more intelligent and empathetic than the game versions, but it takes a rider to know theirs very well before they can understand the honks. Horses are apparently completely extinct and only appear as monsters, ghosts or undead, as with the case of the Nightmares and the horses that Abysmal Knight and Lord of the Dead ride.
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Iruna and Emeth do this a fair amount to [[spoiler:Valkron]] when his SuperpoweredEvilSide shows itself.
* LightEmUp: Samaroh gets into the action in ''Soldiers of Fortune''.
* MageTower: Subverted. The conical Geffen Tower is said to house the Wizards' Guild at the very top, but Valkron points out later on that the only wizard up there is the Wizards' Guild Registrar because [[{{Troll}} the wizards just want potential candidates to walk up all those flights of stairs to see if they would give up or not.]] It does have two crystals hovering around its steel-tipped point and apparently diverts surges of magic like a lightning rod, but that's all it does.
* NoJustNoReaction: If someone does something so stupid or wrong that Valkron can't even come up with a sarcastic response to, he replaces it with this. His variant of it is a usually very calm "No. No. No."
* OhMyGods: When characters are not swearing by the Catholic God, they're busy swearing by Thor and Odin, and often say "ye gods". Even Valkron, who is a NayTheist.
** He later mentions it's a hard habit to break, and that it takes some special skill and time he doesn't have to think up of good curses.
* TheOrder: The Order of Juno.
* PlayingWithFire: Emeth, as one of his specialised spells is Meteor Storm.
* PleasurePlanet: Comodo, City of Pleasure.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The members of the Raulus party were only united by one common cause: they shared the same unexplained recurring MindRape. They don't intend to do much more than help find the source of the portal, but suddenly they're the ''only'' ones left who can do something about it. [[TeethClenchedTeamwork So they resign themselves to it.]]
* SexyPriest: Samaroh is the posterboy in the fanfic. He and his friends are highly aware of this.
* ShoutOut:
** It seems that the old name of Biers, the pub for the differently-alive, has moved to Prontera's main tavern - the Crown and Axe.
** Samaroh occasionally lampshades about people asking him for free heals without so much as a thanks, referencing the "HEAL PLZ" MemeticMutation.
* SoiledCityOnAHill: Glast Heim.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: The major teleportation network run by Kafra Corp serves as a way to connect major cities in and out of the kingdom, provided you pay the fee for the service. Teleporting is called "warping". People can also warp using magically imbued Fly and Butterfly Wings.
** There are portals as well, but they can be only created with old magic, which humans can't use. Emeth specifically explains the difference between warps and portals in ''Soldiers of Fortune''.
* TranslationConvention: The fanfic is written in English, but it's specified that all characters are actually speaking New Runic, the CommonTongue of the Kingdom. According to the footnotes, New Runic is based off English even though it's written in runes, justifying the puns and wordplay.
* TheXOfY: ''Warriors of the World'', ''War of the Frontier'', ''Soldiers of Fortune'', ''Flight of the Phoenix''.
