Imagine… Imagine a very old world. So old that it looses its memory, and rebuild itself day after day through the dreams of its inhabitants. A wild territory, land of ferocious creatures who treads upon forgotten places, full of plants eaten ruins where chamans dance in the campfire light. In the windings of the underground, squeaking gears, rattling mechanisms watch, observe, organise. From his Va'itu'a palace, the Khan of the Eons, who is said to be immortal, follows anxiously the Mists' progress and the flood of Forgetter. He's waiting real miracles from the Dreamwalkers who should dream of tomorrow's world.

To create a universe, is to give life. And if there is one thing that life always does, it is indeed to escape to its creators. From this simple review, the Khaganat project covets to develop an entirely free universe as playground.
The originators of the project hope to attract a community of creative peoples around this project of a world that is open in its formalisation and its evolution, in the tools used for creation and conception, but also in the way of providing the so-developed universe.
Indeed, the result is delivered under free licence, which eases cooperation, allows evolutions, adaptations and transformations as time goes on. The Khaganat project refutes the idea that an artistic project has to be kept under control by its creator to keep its dynamism, and estimates hence that it might be interesting to imagine a universe that would escape to its genesis.

• the contributors can use everything they want from the Khaganat world for their own works, make their investment yield profit to themselves in total freedom ;
• information is available, following an ordering that allows everyone to choose the level of information they want to know, and what they prefer to discover in game. It is hence possible to propose alternatives, additions to the world, that fit in perfectly with what already exists, or deliberately create an opposition, without having to wait for a validation of the idea before any development.

Anyone will be able to modify the so-created world, but it will also be possible to walk in it through an MMORPG, which will also be based on tools from the free world. Since May, 6th 2010, RyzomCore toolkit exists under AGPL v3 licence, along with a set of graphical data under Creative Commons Attribution – Share-alike licence. The Khaganat project wants to go into partnership with RyzomCore project to support the development of this platform. The use of free tools will also be favoured for all the aspects of the game, it being the documentation available through wikis, as well as the introduction portal or the forum. Tools dedicated to the interface between the game and the Internet will also be needed, of course preferably under free form.

• an increased transparency regarding the use made of the data, and a guaranteed durability on their access ;
• participating in the development of a complete platform used to create an MMORPG in total independence, thanks to experiments, and in the development of the needed tools.

The Khaganat project wants to free itself from the “codes” that usually define the relationships between the game and the levels of reality, and hence to rethink some relationships and some behaviours met commonly in virtual worlds. Reality(or game, who knows) levels in the game will blur the borders, and have the player think about his/her own implication in the universe that (s)he contributes to create, and define his/her personal implication or his/her's very presence.
In the confrontations between the characters, the notion of PwP (Player with Player) will be highlighted, as an echo to the cooperative spirit that the originators of the project want to install to it, like:

* A think tank about the various playing styles, and how to have them coexist so that everyone has fun.
* The possibility to interact with the world or with his/her characters without needing to connect with the  game client.
