What waits in Aldenmoor

A hero's turn can decide a kingdom's war.

Fight it out blow by blow, then step back and rule the map. Everything you gather, build, and conquer persists in a shared world.

I

Turn-based combat

Every blow is a decision. Stats, initiative, and nerve settle the fight — no button-mashing, just judgment.

II

Gather & craft

Work five professions across the world. Level-gated recipes reward the patient with gear worth the grind.

III

Raise a kingdom

Buildings, troops, taxes, and conquest — a standing economy you defend, expand, or lose to a rival.

IV

Delve the Thorned Hollow

A dungeon in the Thornwood Reaches whose halls are tangled fresh — no two descents share a map.

V

Follow the diary

Ten torn pages, one amnesiac mage. Scattered across the Heartlands, they piece a lost story back together.

VI

Find your banner

Trade, region, party, and guild channels keep the world talking. Form a guild and hold ground together.


Choose your blood

Six races, six ways to survive.

Each line carries its own gifts and shortfalls. Pick the one that fits how you mean to play — the full stat breakdown lives in the guide.

H

Human

Adaptable folk of the Heartlands — even in every stat, at home in any role.

E

Elf

Keen-eyed and long-lived, quick to strike and quicker to slip away.

D

Dwarf

Stubborn smiths of the deep stone. Slow to fall, hard to move.

O

Orc

Raiders bred for the front line, where raw strength ends arguments early.

H

Halfling

Small, lucky, and hard to pin down — the odds bend around them.

G

Gnome

Tinkers and arcane dabblers who win with wit before muscle.

The realm is already at war.

No download, no wait. Make a hero and step into Aldenmoor from your browser.
