'''''Asheron's Call''''' is a [[Cult Classic]] fantasy [[MMORPG]] by the small but respected development house Turbine, who is also responsible for ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'' and ''[[Dungeons and Dragons Online]]''.
It revolves on an island in an alternate universe called Auberean, [[After the End|after the world is destroyed]]. The titular Asheron, while researching dimensional portal magic, accidentally let loose the Olthoi, a race of [[Hive Mind|insect]] monsters that very, very quickly took over his world. The entire game of ''Asheron's Call'' takes place on a small island called by the original people, Ireth Lassel, and is the site where Asheron's research took place. Before the start of the game, the portal experiment, which had ran wild after opening the portal to the Olthoi homeworld, opened random portals to a world with 3 (later 4) human races, Ispar. The Isparians come through and are quickly enslaved or killed by the Olthoi, but a later rebellion allows them to overthrow the Olthoi and, in killing the Olthoi Hive Queen, free the land, which they rename Dereth, for colonization.
