The Island

Vaern is an island-continent at the edge of the world. The Veyr have walked its shores for as long as anyone remembers. The Hraun arrived, uninvited, through a rift only they understand.

One persistent shard. Server-authoritative combat. Ten regions — one for every people born to the island, and for every wave that came after.

Concord

— The Veyr · Defenders

Born to the island. Bound by oath to defend it. The Concord stands the old walls — Dalewatch Keep, Harrier's Rest, Kingsroad Waypost — against every tide that breaks against Vaern's shore.

Hold the line. Honor the watch. Refuse the rift.

Rend

— The Hraun · Arrivals

Came through the rift. Carry hungers and gods the island has never named. The Rend takes what the Concord won't yield, and learns the land it intends to keep.

Take the shore. Make it yours. Outlast the watchers.

Ten Peoples

Mannin

Dalewatch Marches

Folk of the river plains. Ride the Kingsroad, hold the keeps, drink at the Harrier's Rest. The first race we built a world for.

Hearthkin

— Starter region

Hearth, hammer, and stone. Builders and miners by trade, oathbound to the deep places of Vaern.

Sunward Elen

— Starter region

Long-lived. Long-memoried. Watch the sky and read what the Veyr forgot to write down.

— Coming

Seven peoples still asleep in the chronicles.

— Coming

Their starter region is built. Their name is not yet spoken.

— Coming

Walked the rift. Or under it. Or before it.

Ten regions · Ten races · One shore

Three Pillars

Might

Steel and sinew. Armor that turns blades, weapons that break shields, endurance to outlast a long line.

Finesse

Cunning and craft. Stealth and precision, the parry that turns a fatal blow, the hand that strings a bow.

Arcana

Spell and sigil. Wards that hold against fire and worse, rites that bend the cold edges of the world.

Commit one at creation. Blend all three over a lifetime. Fifteen valid paths.
