Real rulers, fighting over this realm at this moment. Start today and the top is closer than it looks.

What you actually do

🏰 Hold a barony

Land, granaries, treasuries and the people in them. Tax them too hard and they remember it.

🦸 Raise champions

Named heroes with classes, gear, traits and a level cap you have to earn your way past.

⚔️ Take a fortress

March on a realm, camp, and storm it wall by wall — then decide what becomes of its regent.

🏟️ Fight on the sand

Wave after wave of positional hex combat, and duels against other players’ champions.

🐗 Hunt the great beasts

Fifty-five quarries that no single barony can bring down. The whole realm turns out, or nobody eats.

🕯️ Follow the whispers

Branching tales your champions walk. The choices are real and they mark whoever carried them.

🕸️ Delve the dark

Room-by-room descents where a wrong fight costs you a champion rather than a turn.

🤝 Make and break pacts

Trade agreements, shared research, guilds and coalitions — with people who can also betray you.

Fifteen turns a day to spend, and more to be earned. Everything above shares one realm and one clock.
