There is no prophecy. No destiny. No Chosen One.

There is only Vaelthara, an unforgiving continent of warring cultures, buried secrets, and your own ambition. You are nobody, a lone adventurer on a continent teeming with ancient rivalries and dark secrets. Become the hero you imagine. Your destiny is your own.

Old School on purpose, for gamers who wonder why they don't make them like they used to...

30 Trainable Skills

Builds are not defined by your profession. Skills make the hero, and your profession determines how easily you train. A wizard with a maul? A warrior who dabbles in spells? A bard capable of picking any lock in the realm? Anything is possible with discipline and sacrifice. The choices are yours.

The Passage of Time

The continent of Vaelthara is vast, and traversing its terrain and surrounding seas takes time. Precious days, months and years. Your character will grow old and die. The ravages of age are apparent to all who cheat the death Vaelthara would otherwise dispense.

Crime and Punishment

Not all ways of seeking your fortune are law-abiding. Lucrative, but risky. If you're caught, you'll spend time in the slammer or worse. Real time your character won't get back. But bank robberies, smuggling runs, piracy and other darker pursuits can be rewarding in ways more valuable than coin.

Real Economy and Trade

Not all adventurers seek blood or glory. Build your fortune as a merchant. Prices that fluctuate and a variety of wares as vast as the continent itself. Spices, exotic ores, pearls, gemstones, and more. Starting out on foot, you may command a caravan of pack horses or an armada of trade ships.

The Arena, Crafting, Delving, and More

Fight your way to the top of the lists, risking life and limb for a chance at fame and glory. Or wager on others who do. Brew potions and poisons. Forge your own weapons and armor or enchant them in a variety of ways. Or explore ruins, caves and dungeons to discover items of untold power.

A Continent of Deep Suspicions and Ancient Rivalries

Vaelthara is home to many cultures. Some indigenous and some not. Not all is what it seems. Fragile alliances exist for wealth and power. Dark secrets wait to be exposed. Will you discover all that exists in the deep places of the world?
