**Omphalos, a VRMMO Fantasy City**
Omphalos, the Navel of the Worlds, is a fantasy city inhabited by monstrous races at the confluence of six planes of existence. Toward its center, the ground drops away until all is consumed within the ever-hungry Maw. In this place, adventurers appear and seek out new and unique experiences, unlike any that they have experienced in comparable VRMMOs.
