Each took a turn this week, and each began where a new barony begins today.

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.
