Make a character, gear up and head out with your friends. There's a village full of people who need a hand, goblins getting bolder in the woods past the pass, and a game master who keeps the world moving while you play.

A village worth coming back to
Elder Maren, Captain Hale, Bruna the Armorer, Varn the Weaponsmith: everyone in the village has their own voice and something they need doing. Take on their quests, sell what you drag back from the woods, and spend it on better gear.

Trouble in the Goblin Woods
Follow the road out of the village and into the forest. Goblins have made camp there, and their shamans don't fight fair. Every piece of armour and every weapon you find shows on your character, from leather hoods to knight's plate and the greataxe.

A game master who never sleeps
An AI game master watches the world and plans what happens next: goblin raids, a warlord marching on the village, a festival in the square, a supply cache to find, bounties and errands from the villagers. A human game master approves every event before it starts, so the story stays fair.
