The world is dying, and that’s the only reason why you are alive.
Raised by your loving grandmother in a small house East of Gorden’s Keep, you never learned much about the outside world. When fate tears you away from all that you know and takes you to places you’ve never even dreamed of, will you be able to convince the people of the Northern Kingdom that you might be their only hope? And, perhaps even more importantly, will you be able to convince yourself?

GAME MECHANICS
QUEST SYSTEM
Every mission you get (from things as simple as picking apples to those more difficult like… killing a god) falls into one of four categories. Main quests are things connected to the main story of the game, guild quests are things you do for specific guilds to earn some reputation, companion quests are things you do for and with your companions and friends, and side quests are all the small missions you pick up on your travels.
JOURNAL SYSTEM
Your journal will keep everything you know, and you may need to use it to make sure you complete a certain quest the way you were supposed to.
COMPANION SYSTEM
Some of the people you meet on your adventures will be willing to follow you and aid you however they can. Some will do it because of your destiny, others may simply like you as a person. Every quest in the game will let you pick from a group of people who can accompany you. Every person will react differently to how you complete a mission, and they can even unlock extra ways of dealing with problems.
REPUTATION SYSTEM
All guilds, orders and religions in the game have their own quests, and working with or for them will raise your reputation with them. Also, every guild has a guild storyline – these storylines span across multiple cities, introduce many interesting characters and have some exciting twists!
COMBAT SYSTEM
To be added!
