GameZone interviews leader of the Order of Silver Dragons and creator of The Last Bastion machinima Paul 'Zoltan' Nagy.

On a PvP role-playing server, you will find the guild known as the Order of Silver Dragons (OSD). What makes this clan a bit different begins with the machinima that one of its members has created to tell the tale of the clan. ‘Zoltan’ (aka Paul Nagy) is the creator of the machinima and thanks to Funcom, GameZone was able to touch base with him to talk about his clan, the machinima, playing AoC, as well as playing on a role-playing server.

This production is dedicated to a long-term OSD member named Silverar, who continues to bless the Silver Dragons each and every day, expecting nothing in return...

"Question: Tell us about 'The Last Bastion - Chronicles of the OSD.’

Zoltan: ‘The Last Bastion’ is a non-profit, non-commercial production that was written, directed, produced, filmed and edited by myself, the series creator. As well, I've scored the majority of the soundtrack for this production, relying on Funcom's Age of Conan soundtrack and some royalty-free music to complete the sequences when required. It is considered 'machinima' due to its heavy use of the 3-D graphics rendering engine that makes up the MMO game called 'Age of Conan'.

The premise surrounds the trials and tribulations of the mystical Order of the Silver Dragons as they struggle to make sense of the treacherous path they must follow. The mini-series will be released entirely online via YouTube in an episodic format. The premiere episode, which has been released, opened with a two-part cliff-hanger that introduced the protagonists and antagonists, focusing on our mystical wise-man named Silverar and our guild leader Sook Dukar.

Silverar - Zoltan's inspiration for the machinima mini-series 'The Last Bastion'

I've intentionally kept a dividing line between Robert E.Howard's Conan lore and the story that I'm trying to create here for the Order of the Silver Dragons. ‘The Last Bastion’ is not connected in any way with the stories and concepts within Funcom’s Age of Conan universe and the entire Conan lore in general. My story exists within a fantasy world which allows me to move in directions that Howard’s lore might not 'jive' with in terms of settings, magic, characters and concepts. I'm trying to tell a tale that is entirely distinct, and I don't want to be limited in the story that I feel needs to be told."
