Attack

Swing with your weapon. The roll against the enemy's defense decides whether it lands.

Cast

Spend Fury, Energy, or Mana on a class ability: heavy strikes, poison, fire, frost, or wards.

Defend

Brace for the round and take less from the next hit.

Flee

If the fight turns against you, try to run. A roll decides whether you get away.

Explore the world

Walk from the Eldergrove's forest paths to the Sunless Verdure, the Forever Shore, and the Crownscar Mountains. Hundreds of connected locations lie between, each with its own illustration and description.

Eldergrove

Hearthstone Crossing

Four old roads meet around a hearthstone polished by generations of waiting boots.

  1. 1

    Pick a direction. Every step opens another illustrated location.

  2. 2

    Read what you find. Travellers, hidden things, and creatures that would rather you left.

  3. 3

    Find your way back. Your map remembers everywhere you have been.

Meet what lives there

Each region has its own creatures, described in the game's own words. Inspect their attributes, choose your spells, and decide whether to fight or walk away.

Follow quests
through the world.

Talk to the people you meet to accept their quests. Your journal tracks the objective, your map marks the places that matter, and finishing the job earns its reward.

Into the Depths

The corruption runs deeper than brigands and beasts. Something stirs in the old ruins beneath the forest. I need someone brave, or foolish, enough to investigate.

Elder Rowan

Something is driving the creatures from the deep forest. Venture into the Eldergrove Depths to investigate.

Each class fights with its own resource, attribute, and abilities. Pick the one that matches how you like to play.
